A monster of the most despicable kind. One of the first people I felt deserved to die, with no guilt. I will do everything in my power to stop people like him.
really, really annoying. put a pin in my plans for longer than is tolerable, and then proceeded to stymie me with a series of ridiculous contrivances. and then i fucking died, can you believe it? the storm that's brewing for her is a nasty one, i'll promise that much.
former pack leader. i used to fear him, and i followed him for far too long. i did a lot of things i'm not proud of... but hopefully, i can make up for it with the information i stole from him. he's not going to be happy that i gave everything he needed to avallonis... but i don't want the reason i follow someone to be fear of what they'll do as retaliation. jack doesn't deserve my loyalty.
they're a useful dog, to be sure. the loyalty? admirable! honestly, it is. it's also very convenient for me, since they're such a powerful tool. throw them a token show of affection every now and then? that's a bargain, for what i'm getting out of the deal. :)
Ambitious. Powerful. Worth following. I dislike his penchant for physical mutilation, preferring the mental kind myself... but to each their own. At least I get to help.
probably my favorite underling aside from seath, but that's for totally different reasons. seath's good because he's easy to use. satarin's better because he and i? same wavelength. i mean, his predilections aren't quite the same, but... don't they say you should use every part of the animal? i take the body, satarin takes the mind. that way, there's no waste. it's environmentally-conscious fun, you see. ;)
I will tear out his rotting heart and eat it raw
hahaha, she is so fucking dead. oh boy, i can't even begin to describe how dead. it's not even like, personal or anything! i'm not mad, i just have to give her some payback. you know, what kind of person would i be if i let a death like that go unpunished? exactly, exactly, you understand, i'm sure.
i respect his persistence. he's still a rat bastard, though. i honestly don't hate jack, at least not the way people probably think i do or think i should. he stopped being nasty to me pretty quickly when i didn't rise to the taunting, so we had a decent working relationship. i didn't mind what he had me doing for him. the issue is just that he targeted people i grew to care about.
yeah so has anyone seen my favorite weapon? it appears to have been stolen. i want it back.
not sure what to make of him. i can't tell how he feels about me, or what he's thinking. i know i've pissed him off, and can guess he dislikes me, but i'm not sure how to take anything else. he was willing to let me do something incredibly invasive to him, but i can't tell whether or not that was out of desperation to have what his mother did undone or whether he's actually willing to trust me. it's probably the former, though.
I like them as a person. I think they're making the best out of what they've been given—just like me. They've had it rough—just like me. I know what they are, but I don't believe that bullshit. I know just how much a truth can be twisted into something hateful, so I don't believe something unless I see it for myself. What I've seen of Rocior is that they're a jackass, but they're still helping people. They helped me, even when I was being pissy at them. So... I think everyone should give them a chance.
She's so much more than just the guard captain. She's the glue that holds us all together. She's the one who keeps everything running smoothly. She's the one who anyone can go to when they need it, and she's the one who deserves my utmost respect as a captain and a human being. She's like me, in a way; she wants to see good triumph over evil, and will fight for what she believes in.
hes a good guard. i know hes been through some rough shit but i dunno what exactly that shit is, because i dont want to pressure him. im his boss not his best friend: and he seems to have it handled anyway, at least a lot more than he did when id just hired him. so reopening old wounds just for the sake of curiosity would be kind of awful. i respect him though, so i dont mind giving him his preferred post outside when he asks. hes got a good head on his shoulders too, so when i need him for something else he doesnt complain about being reassigned.
she's a good kid, too. like her sister. but she's been broken more, probably since she's older and therefore has been around pryde for longer. glad i could help her find her voice, at least; seems like this sign language thing is useful for a lot of different reasons. wonder why she was so anxious about her gemstone collection... aren't precious jewels something noble humans are usually obsessed with? why the fuck would pryde have an issue with her collecting gemstones. i'd have thought he'd have made use of that to grow his treasury.
... (i love their eyes... and theyre really kind to me and my sister. i didn't think anyone would ever care what i have to say, but they do. and they care about the things i like, too. they take me spelunking and i feel really safe in the caves... )
a rotten bitch, but i get it. it's a defense thing. she's been through the fucking wringer. and it's easy to ignore the nasty things she says, too. definitely needs years of therapy, but i don't think she'll accept it without a lot of pressure. she seems the type to prefer to pretend she isn't broken, so that no one can hurt her further. i can relate.
Nosy bastard. Knows way too much. I hate that they got to see me at Cadagh's worst— ... but I hope they know I appreciate what they did for me. Even the murder. Especially the murder. Even though I'm pissed I couldn't kill him myself. I don't know how, but they managed to get me to see a doctor, when no one else could; I guess they're the only person that hasn't hurt me in a long time, so I can trust them. A little.
don't know him very well, but he's nice enough. terminally nervous, but i can tell that underneath the terror that he seems to be trapped by, there's something much stronger.
they scare me. they fucking terrify me? but im scared more about what they could do than anything else rly. like theyve never lifted a finger to hurt me. its just kind of hard to see something as strong as they are, as trapped as they are, and not worry theyre going to bite if you get too close.
i respect his persistence. he's still a rat bastard, though. i honestly don't hate jack, at least not the way people probably think i do or think i should. he stopped being nasty to me pretty quickly when i didn't rise to the taunting, so we had a decent working relationship. i didn't mind what he had me doing for him. the issue is just that he targeted people i grew to care about.

nice enough. not really sure how to approach him. it's weird seeing a body that was mine until recently walking around on its own. ha. i've been told he's good at helping you work out your issues, but i'm not really interested in talking to someone specifically so they can solve my problems. not like mine can be solved to begin with.
They seem nice? I guess? I haven't talked to them a lot, they feel like a distant person and I don't want to push at them. From what I've been told, they've been through a lot. So I figure just being supportive from a distance would be better than trying to insert myself into their life.
she tries. reminds me of moschata, almost... a rougher one, someone that's seen more hardship than a human should ever have to shoulder. i seem to be meeting a lot of those, lately. she was trapped, and it reminded me of moschata's feelings surrounding the pressure of royalty, only magnified and much more personal, considering it was her husband abusing her specifically. good to know she wasn't complicit in cadagh's activities. not sure i would have let her live if she were. but she has a good head on her shoulders. maybe now that the parasite's been cut down, she can actually flourish. i'll be around if she ever needs another favor.
Envy. Covetous. They have power—magical acuity, as well as willpower. A person who is not so brittle as I am. Someone I am indebted to, for what I feel will be the rest of my life. I hope they turn out to be a better mother than I was.
“Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.”
– Harlan Ellison, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream
Eviscerating our "friendship" was the most fun I've ever had. Mutilating the feelings of an all-powerful magical slave? A pipe dream I never dreamed of.
believes himself to be a unique and flawless creature. in reality, he's no more special than any common thug; insecure, arrogant, and underhanded. i doubt he'd ever encountered a situation where he couldn't use his position to get what he wanted, where all that mattered was his own personal strength, of which he has none. and then he met me.
A threat to my kingdom. Needs to be taken care of straight away, before he topples everything I've worked for. Getting too close to my life, my children, and my wife.
dipshit thought he was hot shit. i've seen his type before. dime a dozen. usually, i don't get to do anything about it... so the way this turned out was fun. i can have a little proxy revenge, yeah? as a treat.
A mouthy little pet whose princess needs to muzzle, before they're forced to swallow their tongue. Would be fun to play with. The quiet ones can be quite vocal if you just apply the proper pressure. It's so gratifying when you can change an entire personality with pain. Like poor little Calla lily—she was such a nice girl. I wonder how I can change this one.
she's fucking weird, and makes no goddamn sense, but that's fine. there's an honesty about her that i appreciate: humans are always baffling, she's just more up front about it. she feels like an outsider the way i feel like an outsider. so i guess i relate to her.
my desire for them burns like liquid fire in my chest. i want them. i want them in my arms, i want to drag them under and watch them go still and calm with me. their new body is perfect. beautiful. feminine. deadly. i want their hair to become a cloud of black in the dark waters with me. it would be so peaceful, and the throbbing would ebb with a peaceful song. the song nobody knows because anyone who has heard it is dead
A pretty cool horse? I dunno. He's neat, but also kind of a menace to society. Then again, the same can be said of most horses.
delightful snack-giver. feed me
why the fuck does this horse want to bite me so badly.
me want bite
i can and have killed for this kid. she's got a fire in her that i can respect, and she's kind. guileless. i feel like i can be honest with her in a way i can't even be with moschata. maybe not even with aristo. i guess 'honesty' isn't quite the right word for it... more like i don't feel like i'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, for her to reveal some thoughtless human cruelty. i'm not beholden to her. it's sort of nice to be the one responsible for someone else, for a change.
someone i can trust!! isn't mean like ana, or *him*. i want to hug them a lot but they said no. sometimes i want to hug them anyway, but i remember ana made me do things i didn't want to do too and i don't. my first real friend!@! they cared about my bruises, and they helped calla and mommy and anaara with their bruises too. they're teaching me how to be a dragon, so no one will ever give me bruises again :)
