AU Ples is quite pleased.

Hahaahahhahahaha!

I like your style, mundane. You finally find a home for me and on top of that, he'll be out of my head for good when I get there? Yes, I realize he'll wind up as my daemon but you do realize he'll sleep when I sleep? Do you know what that means? No more waking up to find he's hidden my guns! No more having to do damage control when I find he's slandered my perfectly good name by being so intolerably nice to everyone! Oho, I think I'm going to like it there.  

Besides, you know I fancy myself a scientist, and the concept of infinite realities is too intriguing to pass up. Why haven't you finished the application yet? Get going!

Daemons? I can't help but feel intrigued by this.

[invertesla]

I'm told they're an animal representation of one's soul. I'm quite sure I'll wind up with something suitably large and impressive. Perhaps a lion to represent my qualities as a natural leader, or a dragon, to represent my strength and majesty.

[Woah, back up, we're dealing with a badass here.]

i can use punctuation really

[liquidouroboros]

Oh, brilliant. More utterly mad alternate worlds. Clearly that's just what we needed.

[invertesla]

I am always just what you need.

[liquidouroboros]

Somehow I seriously doubt that. I get quite enough of scientists at home, thanks.

[invertesla]

Oh? Do you feel threatened by a man of superior intellect?

[liquidouroboros]

Hardly. Merely irritated by those that think they are superior to me.

[invertesla]

What about those that know they are superior to you? There is a distinction, I should think.

[You are playing into his hands, sweetie. Good job.]

[liquidouroboros]

[Deadpan.]

Really. I've heard that all my life from people I couldn't break in half with my bare hands, do you think I'll listen to you?

[invertesla]

Are you insinuating I couldn't hold my own in a fight against you?

[You know what reinforced metal limbs mean? Painful punches.]

I'd be quite happy to prove you wrong.

[liquidouroboros]

[Equip --> Stinger missile launcher.]

You were saying?

These two are now bros. Calling it.

[invertesla]

[... Okay. Re-evaluating. Backpedal time!]

My, my, how impressive. Where did you get that?

evil dude and morally-grey okay dude? i'm sold.

[liquidouroboros]

On-site procurement.

I suppose 'I borrowed it' would be a better answer to that.

they can go around waving their guns in everyone's faces

[invertesla]

And I suppose you 'borrowed' it with absolutely no intention of giving it back?

awwwww yes

[liquidouroboros]

That would be correct.

[invertesla]

I like your style. Perhaps, instead of shooting me, you should ally with me. With my charisma and your firepower, we'd be unstoppable.

[liquidouroboros]

I'm charismatic enough on my own, thank you very much.

[invertesla]

Haahahaah!

Not to be insulting, but look at you. You wouldn't know style if it pissed in your tea.

[liquidouroboros]

I know I'd kill anyone that defiled a cup of tea, and that's quite enough for me.

[British Cam Clarke is not pleased.]

[mister_ice_guy]

Your excitement regarding how well this ought to go might be premature. You're being far, far to optimistic, here, if you think that a good-aligned portion of yourself isn't going to find ways to irritate you, even as... [Chews on the end of a pen as he considers the right word] ...limited as it would appear to be.

[invertesla]

He won't be in my head and furthermore, he won't be able to control my body. I think that is more than acceptable.

[mister_ice_guy]

Can he hide your shoes? I'd be concerned about him hiding your shoes.

[invertesla]

Your priorities are very off. I highly doubt he'd have any reason to hide my shoes. He's so ridiculously nice I doubt it would even cross his mind.

[mister_ice_guy]

You'd be surprised how badly your day can be disrupted when you can't find your shoes. [He shrugs. He suppresses a grin.]

My point, which I think you may be overlooking, is that your "good" side is now separate from you and somewhat autonomous. It may not be able to cause trouble while you're sleeping, yes. It'll simply cause trouble the rest of the time.

[invertesla]

But as a daemon, he won't even be able to travel more than twenty feet away from me. I will be able to keep tabs on him far more easily. I could even tie him to me by a leash! Now there's a thought: a humiliating little pink collar, a sequin chain...

[mister_ice_guy]

Oh, a pink collar with a sequin chain, you are truly plumbing the depths of evil and depravity, here...

[invertesla]

Well, he is a part of my soul, I wouldn't want to permanently damage him. Just humiliate him a wee bit.

[mister_ice_guy]

I give you points for sense and practicality, then.

[invertesla]

Yes, quite. It is my particular power to always be able to deduce the perfect way to most embarrass and psychologically torment those I dislike. Such a practical skill to have!

[mister_ice_guy]

[His eyebrows lift, and he pulls the cap off of his pen. A notebook is produced.]

Really? Is that actually a "power" of yours? A concrete manifestation of raw humiliation and shame? Perhaps a psionic-type natural gift for picking out the weaknesses of your opponents?

[He grins toothily.]

You're not just bragging baselessly, are you? Because this might be worth investigating if you're not.

[stillhuman]

I didn't think science had a great deal to do with the idea of infinite realities.

[hack_doctor]

...An' people called me crazy.
