01 Text - Cult Recruitment!

[selfgodded]

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.

:) :) :) :)

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

[forceofnature]

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

[selfgodded]

Humans are wonderful!

[beat]

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

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

[forceofnature]

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

[selfgodded]

Chh-ow...?

[Anant hummed]

What is 'cow'? A milk giving animal?

[forceofnature]

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.

[selfgodded]

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~

[forceofnature]

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.

[selfgodded]

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...]

[forceofnature]

...

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

[Says the eight-year-old.]

[selfgodded]

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?

[forceofnature]

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.

[selfgodded]

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

[forceofnature]

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

[selfgodded]

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?

[forceofnature]

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.

[selfgodded]

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.

[forceofnature]

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.

[selfgodded]

Is that so?

[A moment later... text!]

~ヾ(＾∇＾)

Goodbye! We will see where the future takes us!

[forceofnature]

[Viridi groans and mutters to herself as she closes communications with Anant.]

Ugh. I take back everything I said.
