[ He has to read that Several Many Times to get it all.

Demi-Fiend is in a class of his own, truly. ]

That sounds absolutely fascinating to witness. Although I imagine I wouldn't be able to, as I'd be just one of the 6 billion people killed and "slurped up."

This is a regular occurrence in your reality?

[xerosbeat]

[Demi-Fiend did not say that a few chosen humans survived to shape the new world from the cosmic egg. Didn't want anyone getting ideas here...]

used to be. it was a fundamental part of my reality's cycle.

then i broke it lol

[placation]

You really are full of surprises.

Thank you for the stories, Demi-Fiend. This has all been fascinating to learn.

[xerosbeat]

im sure it has

and im sure you'll be back later with more questions

bc you're just that curious lol

[placation]

I like to learn. You're welcome to tell me to shut up at any point. Many people do.

[xerosbeat]

no

this whole thing is super unequal

you ask me lots of things

so im going to ask you things now

thats fair by demon standards ok

so first question

if you were given the power to create an ideal world, what would it look like? what would your Reason be?

[placation]

Of course. I'm always open to questions.

That's an interesting one, though. Why do you ask?

[xerosbeat]

im just curious bc im such a curious guy like you. now tell me your ideal world.

[placation]

I don't need anything out of life but a semi-steady job (not even one that pays well!) and the health and happiness of those that I love.

Unlimited tempura udon would be nice, too!

[xerosbeat]

not ambitious enough

what do you hate most

[placation]

Delayed trains...

[xerosbeat]

they do suck

top, middle or bottom

[placation]

Of... what?

[xerosbeat]

doesnt matter what. just which one do you instinctively choose.

[placation]

[ ??? ]

Bottom, I suppose? It's good to always strive to work towards the top.

[xerosbeat]

[his instinct was right...]

last one

kitkat bars. how do you eat them.

[placation]

[ Oh, he misses limited edition and seasonal Kit Kat variants... ]

One at a time. People who them while they're still stuck together are beyond my comprehension.

Has this been enlightening for you?

[xerosbeat]

yeah i learned a lot about you

i think you were lying with the first question tho

no one has such an unambitious ideal world

i bet you want smth crazy like

zapping people to stop being mentally deranged so you dont have to listen to ppl talk about depressing things at you. that's what i'd do if i was a therapist. just ZAP. you're now no longer unwell. your welcome. give me money where i did absolutely nothing. the easy life... the easy scam...

wait i wonder if you can get that power from the crystal. you'd make so much money man. "TRAUMA CURE!!! JUST ZAP YOUR HORRORS AWAY!"

[placation]

I'm not a counselor because I want to make money. I enjoy listening to people's problems. It isn't something I would want to give up like that.

You have me all wrong.

[xerosbeat]

sure sure

but i dont get it

i feel like you have to be getting something out of it. and dont say smth lame like "satisfaction in helping people uwu" no ones that altruistic

[placation]

Why do you think that no one is that altruistic?

[xerosbeat]

because theyre not

humans are driven by desires. they do things bc they get smth out of it. thats just basic facts

[placation]

They are, I agree.

My desire is to help people.

[ There's more to it, of course, but confidant levels and etc. ]

[xerosbeat]

right

how far would you go to help someone tho

[placation]

As far as necessary.
