You still apparently have to get used to being one, it sounds like. Between the eating and sleeping.

[eudaimonikos]

Those aren't the only things that make up a human!
They're usually pretty emphatic about that

[counterblows]

They're right.
Is there more to being a demon than heaven and hell?

[eudaimonikos]

I don't know


We really don't do anything outside of our jobs
No hobbies, no friendships, no leisure time
Don't even have any personal space, everywhere you go is The Office
Everything I have that isn't about that is because of the humans

It's still mostly about heaven and hell, though
Just from a different angle

[counterblows]

Sounds like arriving here was quite the adjustment.

[eudaimonikos]

For everyone, I'm sure

[counterblows]

Sure.
But some more than others.

[eudaimonikos]

What are you looking for here, man?

[counterblows]

Just making conversation on our brand new phones.

[Gathering intel, more like.]

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, sure, that sounds real.

I'm not going to do anything ~*~ evil ~*~, okay?

[counterblows]

You realize that now one of these islands is going to make you do something evil, and I'm going to hold you to that.

[eudaimonikos]

Oh come on, people aren't morally responsible for things the islands make them do. That's basic.

[counterblows]

Tell that to literally everyone's collective guilty conscience.

[eudaimonikos]

Sure
I'm not saying I wouldn't feel guilty
But I wouldn't go around telling other people to blame themselves

[counterblows]

You don't need to. People do enough of that on their own.

[eudaimonikos]

And you do, too?

[counterblows]

That depends on the context.

[eudaimonikos]

You mean if it happens to me?

I'm doing my best, okay? I'm a being with free will just like any human, and I am entirely capable of not being evil when that free will isn't being infringed upon!

[He'd love to call this whole thing really racist, and it might still be, but he can't go around telling people that demons are fine, actually. That's dangerous advice! So he has nowhere to put the sort of weird bad way this makes him feel.]

[counterblows]

No one's made a point of calling you evil, so I can believe that. But I'm not the type of person you'd have to convince.

[eudaimonikos]

So what's with this whole thing?

[You sure jumped on the word "demon" fast. Michael wonders if he knows about Ardyn. Well, it's not his business to go around gossiping about the guy.]

[counterblows]

[Wash knows enough about Ardyn to knows that he doesn't want to deal with Ardyn when he's in a bad mood, because Wash was definitely reduced to meat jelly a couple times back on Maati because of some poorly timed conflicts.]

Like I said. Just making conversation.

Back up.
There's an edge to the map?

[yourattention]

of course there is the storyteller can only reach so far

[There's no other texts explaining this statement, because Connor just assumes everyone knew this.]

[counterblows]

You're going to have to be a little clearer than that.

[yourattention]

what did you think the story thing was a metaphor the map only goes as far as the story goes

you cant go to monsun if its not there you cant go to any island thats not there bc they dont exist when theyre not part of the story

the map extends like idk three hours past enso unless youre going to an island then its like twelve hours or something
