[That's a new surprise. That this can work over text but it feels right.]

...I'm sorry.

No one should be persecuted for what they are. It-

[This is contrary to what he believes. He should be dead. He is a monster. Monsters can't be human.]


Unless they seek to actively do harm. And you're not

you don't serve one of the entities. I'd rather pass it on to another deity then one of them because none of them except the beholding would do it...right.

[That just burst out of him and Jon Sims stares.]


I didn't mean to type that.

The persecution was short-lived, at least. It wasn't "persecution" from the Clergy, it was just their way. It did shape me. It brought me to where I am today, which is in power and position to clean them out of MY Church.

Interesting. Are you not immune to your own charms?

[thecompulsion]

The way it was described to me, if you don't feed your entity it feeds on you. And that the human mind naturally turns to the ... desire to it once it's claimed you. So when I spoke, I spoke because it's true even if I don't want it to be true.

[a pause]

But I don't know if I'm immune or not. The archivist's powers are unique.

I take it that you are not one for experimenting? You so often refer to what you were told, not what you've done or what you can do.

[thecompulsion]

I haven't actively tried.

No. It's just sort of happened.

And learning things. Seeing things has also just sort of happened. Being able to read Mandarin without knowing the language was a surprise.

[witchimage]

Try, archivist. Learn your limits. Or lack thereof. Be your own monster.

[thecompulsion]

[Well.]

Feeding the God.

[witchimage]

To begin with, it would seem your god favors you. Wouldn't you rather find out what it takes on your own terms, rather than relying on anecdotes?

[thecompulsion]

[temptation]

The more people use these abilities the less human they are.

[witchimage]

And you do so value your humanity, don't you? Hm.

[thecompulsion]

I...

I don't know anymore.

I think I want to? I mean.

I shouldn't want to. But I do.

[witchimage]

A single human serves very little function. Humanity on the whole is good for very little.

It is your intention to fight the other monsters, is it not?

[thecompulsion]

[HE wants to disagree. He does. But sometimes...]

To stop the other rituals yes.

You're right about humanity.

[witchimage]

My interest in "rituals" being stopped extends only so far as I have no desire to see someone beat us to the punch, but the point still stands.

Know yourself, archivist.

[thecompulsion]

[The thought scares the hell out of him. It never won't but if he has ...the job right? And stopping people - he can do that. He...

There is a kind of slyness within the thought. The eye whispers.

...She's right archivist. know yourself.]

...You're right.

[witchimage]

Yes, generally that is my experience.
