compnetwork | 01 Text - Cult Recruitment!

hello residents of hinotori. i am here today to extend a helpful hand to you all. what a dead world you reside in. a miracle you survive for so long. demons prowl and yet humans still manage to survive in the face of adversary. how does such a weak creature gain such strength. they are wild and conflicting in their ways. their emotions are inscrutable. perhaps it is those things that are their strengths. they are like cockroaches. i mean that nicely. the humans of my world lived in a world that was dead. this one still has some life. some. in any case i should get to the point. please excuse my poor literacy. i do not know how to write human very well. i am trying however. the spellchecker function on this is very useful. the point. cries of assistance was given. i enjoy helping humans. i wish to be benevolent to you. however power lies in faith and faith can only give power. my followers are no more so their prayers cannot reach me regardless. therefore i extend a hand. i will be blunt. residents of hinotori join my cult. :) i added an emote of a smile because smiling is said to make people more relaxed when asking them of things. so please. consider my proposal. :) :) :) :)

I'm not worried about you.

...I just think you could stand to be a little less... obsessive. You're going to give yourself a psychosis.

But I enjoy being obsessive over humans.

[Anant says it with one hundred per cent seriousness]

Whether or not it develops abnormalities in my mental state, I believe it will be an obsession I will never abandon, even if it brings about my eventual death.

Ironically, as much as I never want to have anything to do with them, leaving them alone would result in my death. Maybe we should switch jobs.

Oh, well.

Since I'm here, I might as well go ahead and partake in one of the few good things that came out of the creation of humanity.

[Anant perked]

Photography?

What?

...I don't need pictures of pretty things; I just create them when I want to.

I'm talking about ice cream.

Oh.

[Anant definitely sounded put out]

I do not know what ice cream is.

It's delicious is what it is.

We had anachronistic fake goddess ice cream back home, but I've never had the real thing before.

What is it made out of? Surely it can't be ice? Ice is rather unpleasant to eat.

Cold cream, milk, and sugar and flavorings. There's absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever; aren't humans great?

Humans are wonderful!

[beat]

Cream, milk, flavourings... someone harvested breast milk to make this?

[Y U P . . . no cows in their world]

Milk from a cow. It's at least 50% less weird when you suck out another animal's milk through orifices in their body.

Chh-ow...?

[Anant hummed]

What is 'cow'? A milk giving animal?

Most mammals produce milk. A cow is, uh. It's like an animal that stands on four feet and goes 'moo'.

...

You know, maybe photography's a good idea after all.

Photography is always a good idea! It is a brilliant invention~

[Anant's voice was cheery and...half-singing?]

They have photographs of many many things, almost everything, be it of the atoms that make up the universe or the stars up at the sky~ they capture moments in time to be kept forever and ever too~

Moments in time that they'll never reclaim because the earth will be reduced to a crumbling ruin.

[grumble grumble]

I doubt there's a photography gallery here so you'll probably have to settle for taking your own pictures.

That's okay! I love taking pictures! I even have my own camera and scrapbook to put the pictures in!

[You have Anant on one of their favourite subjects, they're going to ramble on and on and on about this...]

...

And we're sure you're a god and not an overenthusiastic grade-school student?

[Says the eight-year-old.]

I'm a God! I just - I enjoy photography a lot...

[Anant's voice trails off briefly]

...my apologies. Did I come across as too enthusiastic?

Eh.

If there's one personality type I've learned how to deal with, it's 'too enthusiastic'. I'll hold the intervention after you start coming up with pre-boss-battle speeches.

Boss battle...? Do not worry, I am not very good with speeches.

...Uh-huh. So what was that 'join my cult :)' stuff earlier then?

You thought that was good?

[You could almost feel the flowers and hearts floating above their head]

Ahaha, I was just asking. It was polite, to ask?

Huh?

I... meant more the coming up with speech part than the... qualitative measure. ...Anyway.

I'll show you a picture of a cow sometime if I can find it. In the meantime, good luck with your recruiting.

Thank you. You're very kind.

I am smiling. Someone told me that sending emoticons through text is actually bad, so I shall inform you verbally instead.

I hope to see you face to face soon. I enjoy these talks we have.

Bad? It's obnoxious if you overdo it, but humans have a pretty high tolerance for obnoxious text messages, as I recall.

Anyway. It's not really kosher back home to meet face-to-face, but maybe sometime in the future.
