Poi 5, voice

[first_host]

[Her voice might sound a little tired, but it's nothing to be concerned about. Especially because she sounds fine other than that.]

I suppose since I've had the time to finally settle in somewhat and to figure out what is going on here, that I ought to offer my services. Or, well, my knowledge as the materials and methods to what I can and cannot do are a little difficult to get a hold of.

The first, and perhaps the more useful of the two, is that where I am from I was from a clan that was known for their sealing abilities. When I say sealing, I mean just that. Whether it be a method to have a scroll summon someone or store items to sealing rather... difficult creatures into vessels, it can be done. Though whether it can be done depends on a few factors. I suspect here, the most we would be doing would be summoning and sealing weaponry into potentially easier to carry vectors.

[She pauses for a moment, taking a slow deep breath.]

The other is that I have something of, I suppose a gift? from my time being the vessel of a particular creature of which is no longer with me, where I can sense negative emotions. This has proven... rather useful in diplomatic matters and, I suspect, there might be some use here. Whether it be things on the train or with the knowledge of this Ministry, should we need to speak to them again. I have yet to discover any sort of detriment or way to fake said sense, so I figure it rather... well, foolproof.

[Is she going to name herself? Nah. Of course not.]

Sure, but you aren't now. Which is the point I'm trying to make.

And none of the rest of the décor is sentient enough to be offended, or we would certainly have offended it by now.

[Zagreus is just. Squinting on the other end. What point is Zetta even trying to make right now Zag can't even]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

And the point is, binding people into inanimate objects isn't cool. That doesn't change just because I got out of it! I may not be a book now, but I was one!

[dyingpro]

... when did she ever say she was going to do that, though? She mentioned sealing creatures before she came here, sure, but she said she'd be happy to seal objects to make them easier to transport. Like sealing one of the medical beds to make it portable, or sealing the food ingredients left over from the previous month when we haven't used them all.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

That's like saying, "oh, here's this giant pit of torture and despair that I usually use to capture people who aren't like me for an eternity of suffering, but let's use it for storing ice cream." The whole first part of that sentence doesn't bother you just because you're getting ice cream?

[dyingpro]

You're speaking to someone who grew up in Tartarus, mate. It's about as "giant pit of torture and despair, for an eternity of suffering" as it gets.

I try not to judge mortals for their customs since everyone's got a different life to live and a different path to follow. Maybe the demon overlords of your world are great, but the demons in her world might be creatures that are only interested in devouring people and stealing their souls, in which case I don't blame her for trying to defend herself and her village.

If she's not hurting anyone on the Train, especially not you, then what does it matter? Just don't go out of your way to antagonize her and you'll be fine.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Back up a moment. Again, what's with the double standard? I declare my intention to conquer a world and everyone's down my throat about it, shelving me in the library, and generally judging the hell out of me, but someone who's deep into the whole eternal-duress thing gets a pass? Where's MY support?
