A squid girl is annoyed

[controledfreak]

[Move your cursor over the little bouncing icon for a quick translation!]

Oh, so NOW you want to do something with me? I thought that you were content to go about with your various games and other characters. Far be it from me to criticize, but I am not an individual that you can just drop and pick up again at a whim. In fact, you are lucky I don't cause your head to spontaneously cave in even though that is what you truly deserve. I only do this because then I, as an extension of the link that we share, would also cease to be and that would me my attempts at discovering meaning in this disease known as order would be at an end.

How lucky for the both of us. Mostly for you, because I find the situation rather dismal.

Back to the subject at hand, I know that you are trying to find a home for me, but perhaps this would be a more appropriate place? After all, it is the nexus between several dimensions. I find familiarity in the transience of the population, and the chaotic nature of this realm is sufficient for my studies. I do understand that this would mean the environment would shift at a moment's notice, but I'm not interested in understanding about the world so much as it's residents.

Consider that, while I attempt to find another way to brutalize you in a way that is satisfying to my ego.

.......do not liken my kind with Humans! That's the worst insult you could pay me!

Besides...Humans reproduce out of necessity - Demons reproduce for amusement.

[controledfreak]

You are a creature of order and thus can be classified that way. As far as I am concerned your pride is the only distinction I can make between your two species. And perhaps your longevity and power, as you appear to transcend the necessity to propagate. Or perhaps your kind has yet to face a threat that would jeopardize the continuation of your species, hmm?

So late...SORRY!! :(

[betterthanpanty]

There is no threat that could face the Demon race as a whole that we could not overcome. You do not give us enough credit, dear.

We are quite terrible when crossed, take that fact to heart. There is nothing like the anger of a Demon...

s'okay xD

[controledfreak]

You have NO idea what I am. HEHEHE

[betterthanpanty]

I don't - but I know if you threaten me or another member of my race, you'll stand no chance.

Sorry to have to be the one to inform you of this.

[controledfreak]

I am an aberration in your world, you know. My very existence here is cancerous and a threat. The only reason why we are communicating without harm is because I am taking pains to inhibit my affect on you and your world.

In the simplest sense, all I have to do is.

[She snaps her finger and a huge, grenade-sized explosion erupts with no real source.]

The less simple but strongest effect I would not like to do, as I rather enjoy your company and would not want to cause you undue harm.

[betterthanpanty]

[Scanty flinches, startled by the explosion, but not really afraid. She crosses her arms before her chest.]

I will take that as a compliment I suppose. I think we make better allies than enemies at any rate.

[controledfreak]

Yes, but now you have also made it a matter of pride. Though I am not wont to display my power to every creature of order I come across, I am finding the collision of our collective sense of worthiness to be rather irritating. Therefore I would wish to impart to you the extent of your insignificance.

Come with me.

[betterthanpanty]

[Scanty's eyes narrow a bit at that. She's fairly certain that she was just insulted...]

You pay me such insults then demand I accompany you? I think not...

I do not wish to make an enemy of you, but continue to aggravate me, and I will become cross.......

[controledfreak]

I do not wish to make you upset. Only to inform you of your relative significance in regards to one of my kind, which also includes myself.

That you would think of otherwise only speaks of your ignorance, which I will provide it to you plainly.

Do not worry, I do not wish to do you harm. Only to educate.

[betterthanpanty]

I have an abundance of intelligence, I do not require education - thank you.

That being said though, I am indeed curious: How do you determine superiority amidst your own kind?

[controledfreak]

It's a matter of scale. Here.

[Her hand runs a line in the air almost as though cloth was split. Except this cloth is reality. She walks up, through, and into the black abyss.]

Come and see.

[betterthanpanty]

[All of Scanty's red flags are going up, but she is indeed curious...]

[Stay true and indulge your curiosity: A Scanty and Kneesocks rule.]

....very well.

[Tentatively, she follows.]

[controledfreak]

[It's black as pitch and deep besides. Despite this, but the demon and the squid girl appear in perfect illumination. As they walk deeper, the squid girl seems to stop walking but is moving away regardless. After a while, she pulls away from Scanty and disappears into a small point and then utterly into the darkness.]

[Then her voice appears. Only now that they are in her realm the ill-resonating tone is pitch-clear.]

There now. I suppose before we begin I should welcome you to my sanctuary. Not very many people are allowed into one of my kind's realm and leave safely. You will be one of the exceptions, HEHEHE.

[...her laugh seems sharp and piercing now. Which is may or may not be better than her discordant one.]

[betterthanpanty]

[Scanty is not surprised by the darkness surrounding her. However, her hostess suddenly disappearing into that utter blackness...that doesn't sit so well with her. More red flags.]

[She glances around a few times, then realizing this is a fruitless effort, she stops and chuckles to herself.]

So you reside in darkness, or you are darkness itself?

[controledfreak]

Oh no. Darkness makes sense. It is a constant as death and is consistent. Where I am from lacks consistency. Now.

[With that word dozens, hundreds, thousands of little lights begin to appear in the horizon. At first there is no discernible pattern but as more begin to appear so to does the constellations. Then a huge light appears and besides a few smaller orbs circling around it. Strangely the "floor" if that is what it is anymore remains consistent.]

[As the blue orb appears it, along with everything else, moves toward it. The blue orb enlarges and Scanty is greeted with a view that gave a few men in a flying can pause.]

Look familiar, yes?

[betterthanpanty]

[Scanty just stares - ...yep...that's the Earth...is she breathing? Yes, she's breathing. But how? That seems impossible...oh! Demon magic, of course! Yes, that's her explanation and she's sticking to it.]

So...you're from space?

[She had assumed that her companion was akin to her - like a Demon, perhaps. But from another dimension.]

[But this was...not what she expected...]

[controledfreak]

No. Now hush and I will provide you knowledge of where I am from.

[With that said, the world you know and ruthlessly antagonize love begins to move away. Further and further, quicker and quicker. A ring of meteors swoop past followed closely by a giant gaseous planet, moves past and vanishes into the horizon line that is the sun. Soon even the outer planets appear, disappear, and becomes consumed into the dimming light of the sun.]

Now, mind yourself, we will be moving much quicker soon.

[betterthanpanty]

[Scanty starts to feel a bit nauseous at the fast-paced movements, but she manages to keep herself upright and conscious. Besides, she didn't want to know what would happen if she passed out.]

I'll keep that in mind...

[Being so far from the ground and being within inches of meteors is not usually Scanty's idea of a good time. But she's experiencing something she never has before - and she finds herself paradoxically excited.]

[controledfreak]

[True to her word the stars now begin to streak. Lights rushes by as hole solar systems appear and disappear. The lights pause momentarily for a moment as another sight greets Scanty's eyes.]

[Yg'bagladoth's voice is musing, almost sing-song when she offers these words to Scanty:]

Say good-bye!

[And with that it becomes a dot of light in the distance. It and the other blurs of light which can only be other galaxies.]

[betterthanpanty]

[Scanty is breathless, seeing the galaxy before her. Even in all the sights she's seen in Hell and her years, she's not seen anything like this. But before she can say anything, it's gone, several other galaxies joining it in the distance.]

...oh...oh my...

[Very few sights can render her so speechless!!]

[controledfreak]

[The light of the universes grow and dim. What is perhaps the edge of the universe comes with only a pinpoint of light in the distance. Then, like the darkness that was present in this space before there was nothing but the pitched black. For the longest time it appears that there is nothing and Yg'baladoth left Scanty back in the dark.]

[Only it starts to begin... at first it is like a ripple. Scarcely visible to the naked eye. But as the time passes the ripples get worse. Like the flickering distortion of the air that eyes see in the presence of heat. But then there are pulses of light. Strange pulses that doesn't make sense. How can light exist in the absence of everything? And yet not only does this happen, it happens frequently. Lingering things. Creeping things begin to flickery and skitter in the folds of the moving light and space. The dark things that people fear even having never seen them. Then more creatures. Most look like those creatures that appear in the deep sea, but then there are hideous, horrendous things that begin to appear as small as a fist then as big as a dog. Were Scanty able to look the edge of the universe begins to appear. And what lies beyond is a gigantic undulating thing. Neither sentient nor inanimate. Constantly moving and shifting. And then the real monsters appear. Some as big as Scanty... and some that are so big they seem grasp the edges of the universe within it's clutches.]

[It is only then that the familiar figure appears besides Scanty as though she had never left.]

I'm home. [She grins.]

[betterthanpanty]

[Scanty can hardly process everything going on around her. To say that she's in awe is an immense understatement. Her head whips about constantly to take everything in. This is all completely new and impossible to her.]

To think that such a place could exist...

[Scanty jumps, startled as Yg'baladoth appears again. She chuckles a bit at the comment.]

It's cozy.

[It is a lot of things. Cozy is not one of them.]

[controledfreak]

Liar. I hate it. I created this sanctuary so I could retreat away from it. Though I suppose the fact that any of those other beings may choose to consume me colors my disdain.

[She floats and expresses a wave.]

In this place time, space, energy, life, and death blend. The order and organization that you know of no longer exists. In truth this is only an echo of it, as it is the memory of my home. No matter what it is a pale comparison. In truth I am withholding much. There is sound, constant and incessant. The waving pulse of time and space folding on each other. The sound of the clawing things grinding their teeth and consuming. Constant movement that extends from what you know into forever.

[betterthanpanty]

[Scanty listens silently, fascinated.]

They would have to combine and blend, as you say...otherwise anything that dwelled here would succumb to madness.

No time, no aging...does that mean that 'creatures of order' as you call them, when plucked from their worlds and brought here are frozen in time? In other words, if I remained here forever I would never age?

[Not that she's suggesting such a thing, truth be told she's anxious for solid ground...]
