on loss of CR and ~*Boogeyman philosophy*~

[fearbringer]

I don't... miss them. Not in the way other characters you play would, anyway. That would require attachment, and that's something that I just don't do, because any immortal who lets themselves truly care about a mortal is either an idiot or a masochist. They were interesting to talk to-- and yes, in some cases, a good deal more nice to me than I'm used to. But lonely or not--

[-- and he is--]

-- you'd do well to remember that any desire for connection is a human influence on me. It isn't innate or central to my being; it's something to be overcome, not succumbed to. If I ever got to the point where I'm throwing myself at the feet of the first person to toss a few kind or sympathetic words in my direction, I'd want to be put out of my sad, pathetic misery.

And I'm not, nor have I ever been, anywhere near that point.

[Are you suuuuure?]

[fearbringer]

[SUP DOGBRO]

What do you want this time?

[dogspelledbackward]

['SUP UNWILLING FRIEND

He just admitted to being lonely. You think she's going to let him off so easily now?

Amaterasu whuffs, wagging her tail in a manner most unbefitting greeting the Nightmare King.]

[fearbringer]

Come on, I know you can write. Let's try some real communication.

[dogspelledbackward]

[Yaaaawn. Writing is so boring, though.]

Woof

[Why yes, she literally just wrote out the word "woof."]

[fearbringer]

[Okay fine that was kind of funny. BUT HE'S NOT GOING TO ADMIT THAT.]

I can just walk away, you know.

[dogspelledbackward]

'You said you were lonely'

[See? She catches these things.]

[fearbringer]

Did you pick out one of the more unimportant parts of all that because you didn't understand the rest, or were you just looking for an excuse to make me your charity case?

[dogspelledbackward]

[The first step to working through your problems is to admit you have them.]

'connections are not a weakness' [And no one said you had to throw yourself at the feet of anyone. Hell, Ammy would be downright weirded out if he did.]

[randallboggs]

Are you having trouble with humans?

omg RANDALL

[fearbringer]

No more than usual, really-- which is to say, not very much at all.

[This guy, on the other hand, is interesting.]

Can I ask what you are?

:D

[randallboggs]

What does it look like? I'm a monster.

[fearbringer]

Not everyone would wear that term as a badge of honor. For all I knew, calling you that would have been rude.

[randallboggs]

What else would you call me? That's what I am.

[He sounds proud of it.]

And I'm one of the best scarers in my world.

[fearbringer]

Is that so?

So am I.

[randallboggs]

You are? What can you do?

[fearbringer]

Have you ever heard of the Boogeyman?

[notfresh]

Social connectivity is a part of all forms of sentient life capable of cognitive thought.

[fearbringer]

All that you know of, at least.

It wasn't always a part of my life.

[notfresh]

The lack of social contact may lead to unsettling, psychological results. Often leading the person down a destructive path.

[Song argue with him, he's a doctor.]

[fearbringer]

You're thinking of me like I'm a human. That would be a mistake.

[notfresh]

You appear human, sound human and think human.

[fearbringer]

I look and think a little human. Not entirely.

[notfresh]

More than a little I would say.

[fearbringer]

You just met me. How could you possibly know that much about how I think?
