I wanna do it I wanna do it

I mean, you’re attractive, yeah, but I think the whole occasionally being on fire thing… that seems more “hot”

Do you mean hot physically or visually?

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn

Hnghngngh

Oh, fascinating! Anything special you added?

Hi, morning! Are you well?

Morniiing..

I’ll find a few stupid reasons to pray. In fact, it’ll be a challenge for me to achieve.

“But Auntie was once human, my whole family was, I was the only one born with the curse, I didn’t even get to—-” Shrinking backward. Somewhat offended by the response. Arms hugging onto itself. Even when well intentioned, they feel uncomfortable. “But I’ll never be able to have what humans have.

“Being underground can be nice, I don’t know why most people don’t do it.” Thinking. Well, it’s a little chilly sometimes. And kinda damp in some areas. And it smells weird. And— maybe there’s some reasons. Not worth mentioning, though. “I mean, I don’t think I’ve changed very much, but I…

// I still cannot decide on a voice claim for Aspis. Man.

Aspis is clearly very excited. The heaters being on has kept them from passing out and fully falling into brumation, so this year they actually get a glimpse of what is technically also a crystal, which is snowflakes. “I can’t see it up close but… it’s still really cool.”

/ Aspis just defaulting to Greek when they’re excited is always my favorite thing

Scrambling up to the window, gasping. It’s all pure white, they couldn’t go outside if they tried. «Ουάου! Είναι τόσο όμορφο!» Scuttling back to the blanket fort, eyes glittering with excitement. “I get to see snow! I’m not asleep for it this time! I get to see it!”

Oh, just water for me. I don’t really— I mean I can try other stuff but I can’t taste any of it.

OKAYOKAYOKAY PLEASE TELL ME

No that’s scary I think I’ll just hide

does anyone know when it’s supposed to get better or what

Well, it only feels right to do. Everyone else has to pray, I have to as well. Even if it’s kind of a stupid reason.

And I can just pray for company? And you will show up? Can I pray now, that you’ll stick around?

Can I pray whenever? It’s… nice to think someone is actually listening for my prayers. I didn’t get much response from my own pantheon.

Yaaawn

Can I just— summon you? Or is it more complicated than that?

Looking up to her, scaly brows tilting. Surprisingly comfortable with the grip on their shoulders. “I don’t know. I’ve been alive so long, I still don’t know what I really am. I’ve learned not to think about it.”

I don’t think I’m hot but yes I am into science—

I want to pet him

GENUINELY?? WHY???

“That’s… I understand that. I try not to fight much, I’m scared it’ll make people’s assumptions about me… justified.” They sighed, closing their eyes and allowing themself a small breath. “I don’t want to be the monster they think I am.”

“Who has the bigger place, though? Oh, no, this is so much thinking—- uh—-“ Throwing their head back with another cry, now of just frustration. “I’m too tired to think!!”

Their complaints are a little childish, but also reasonable. For how long they’ve lived completely alone, they’re dying for consistent socialization again. And to have someone hold them. It’s been thousands of years since Medusa gave them what would be the last hug they shared. And no one hugged

“Sounds cruel. I don’t like hurting people.” They kneaded their hands in a ball, tongue flickering with anxiety again. “I don’t like when people get hurt, even when they do bad things.”

“I don’t think the attractiveness matters. It’s… the power.” Any powerful woman will leave them nervous. Any cruel woman. Anyone that reminds them of their mother. “It makes me feel unsafe.”

And that’s it. The squeeze earns a whimper, and suddenly they’re sobbing and hugging him. “Can you come over every night? It’s so lonely, I hate being on my own, I want someone to be here with me—- we can be roommates! Sorry, that’s a big ask, I’m sorry—” Rambling.

“… all of us?” A faint smile, tilting their head. Oh, don’t get all sappy. Don’t cry. “Thank you. It means a lot.”

“Yeah, she… probably would scare me. Intimidate is more the correct word.”

/ the more I interact with people the lonelier I feel lmaoooo kill me

“Oh, not spiders! But heights, boats, planes, cars, trains are fine but they’re too loud… men that yell too much, women in positions of power—- uh… it’s a long list.”

“I also get seasick really quick, which is ironic, because my dad was a sea serpent. I think I’m just scared of a lot of stuff.” But not scared of giant spiders, clearly.
