Jack
"Don't drool," he commanded Leslie without looking up, intent on getting everything down in the pad. Better that the Mist was asleep anyway; his attitude would only be a constant interruption.
Arctic flora, now that was something. "Symbiotic relationship?" Jack asked. "The plant was sentient as well before merging? Are contracts involved if so? I wouldn't have thought there were demon breeds like yours, to be honest..." Or rather, it was well out of the way of conventional demonology that he was aware of.

Jack"Correct," Aleria answered. "We never merged. We simply...were. Right out of the pumpkin. No contracts. We are a rarer clan, fond of the north only. There are many things the common human mind has not thought of, do not worry yourself. Humans can hardly can be faulted for all your great ignorances. There'd be so many!"

Jack
More notes, more curious frowns levelled at the golem. "All of Halloween has an origin in human thoughts and emotions," Jack argued. "Fear of the dark is primal: it creates reapers who can wield it, beasts made of it, others that travel through it. A living arctic vine...Yeah," he said with a chuckle, "I can see why you're not so common. There are bigger things to fear in the cold than a plant.
"You say you don't remember much, but think back on what you can for me. Do you remember anything of that clan?" he asked. "Not specifics like names, but perhaps the living space, the lifestyle--anything that evokes a response in you."

ShuPatiently, Aleria waited for the youngling to spit it out. They hid a smile behind a hand, stifling a startled giggle. "No, we are afraid not. Not that we've tried, but the techs were very, very particular on what cannot happen. The body would, ah. What was their wording? 'Melt like a sundae in July', as it were." The demon put their finger under Shu's chin, gently tilting their heard upwards. "We have a feeling you are not interested in partnering with us. Does your weapon wish to couple with you?"

ShuYou-You hear that, Z. < Tsk. Damn it.> The beast cursed in different languages, embittered. < What the ******** I was thinking? This's not fun at all man! I can't even jacking remember why and how I became THIS. I'm not some stupid canines that had a dog food put on their noses YET they can't eat it. What the purpose?! Blah Blah Blah -> He can flirt and fondle ladies, but not "eating" them?! Ridiculous. Even almost a year since they met, Shu found Z terribly annoying sometimes. Her imagination was too good sometimes, she imagined Z and Aleria melted like ice-cream as the demon talked about the golem body. Ugh, that was not a good scene at all. "I-I guess that because the techs don't think that's necessary? All they do was to -" understand their abilities and fully utilize to get the best performance. Some people do only regard weapons as tools, their sentiments are not important...... < Selfish jerks. It's a NORMAL desire.> Shu could feel the low growl of the beast when the cold hands reached her chin, "C-Couple? We're already partners - you mean - mean - Z wants to -" Her face flushed and burst like a bomb, "No - Noooooooooo! Z isn't interested in me, he said he likes ladies, not girls...." The beast snarled as the petite hunter struggled to explain the matter. Luckily, Leslie wasn't there, Shu thought she did something wise.

Shu Aleria shrugged beneath their heavy coat. "We did not inquire, as we do not feel the drive that intently." Another laugh. "That, and the youngling would not have been pleased. He should make a good impression with Life Division." The demon giggled at Shu's flustered reaction. "We think you are a fine "lady", although we would call you a ghoul. It's strange, how we remember bits and pieces, but never the whole." Curiously, Aleria tapped their chin. "Does your weapon miss what they used to be? The old world of ours?"

Jack Aleria yawned wide, exposing all one hundred of their teeth, in dual rows. "We are the fear that lurks in the cold, coiled beneath. We are that which awaits in the blizzard. We are that which crawls within the skin, just beneath the surface. We are the profane, the harmless turned hungry. We are hunger, not sated by the sun, but by blood." The serious tone passed, and Aleria shrugged. "But we did not belong there. We lived in a port city, we think. We remember the ocean, deep and vast and black, surrounded by swaths of white. Scarelings were raised in groups, but we grew up alone. We don't know why. It makes us morose." They inspected their claws, rubbing two together. "We miss the snow and ice."

Shu < I'm not like that plant icestick. Neither outside or inside.> "Youngling refers to Leslie? We surely have a lot of things we need to reply on the Life Division, so that's not a bad idea." The Death hunter kept a good relationship with Life Division - well - except some rude one. "Thank you Aleria~" Shu smiled with the blush not fading away. "Ghoul? Z called me that once or twice, some wordings you use are different from us?" The petite girl reached out to grab Aleria's hands and squished lightly. "That doesn't sound like a good feeling....Z got mad when his memories cut off as what he talked blanked out suddenly......"Others told her wiping weapons's past memories was necessary, to prevent unwanted emotions from them but it was cruel as they are as sentiment as they are. Shu sympathized for them. < I tell you, silly. Don't make a "oh you're so pity~" face to me, I don't ******** - jacking need that!> It was frustrating not able to continue what he said abruptly, but the girl never need to know. For Aleria's question, < Tch. I only missed all the fun I used to have - how can I ******** tell if I can't remember any s**t of it?!> Z remembered what his species was and things about his world, but he couldn't recall of his family or his teenager life. The beast knew he was young in his clan, so he was probably in school before he found himself here - It felt off, when you can remember the sensation and feels of something but cannot recall any details of it. "Z said he couldn't recall anything about him, but he missed all the pleasure life he had." Like always, Shu will translate what the beast say into something more acceptable and that was something Z not satisfied with, e.g his tone and curses all not precisely delivered. "What does it feel like to partner with a human?" < Boring. Troublesome. Laughable.> Not asking you. < I bet everyone feels the same.> Not! < Yes.> No. < Yes.> No! It's just you that mean. < Yes! Humans are generally troublesome.> The two argued like kids in Shu's mind.

Shu "Yes, he is the youngling we speak of. He works in the infirmary, managed by Life Division. We do not believe he'd like to transfer, but if he wishes to be a liaison as he is currently, he should refrain from raising any unnecessary ire." Aleria smiled. "Yes, ghoul. Males are boils, instead of boys. Instead of the youngling's favourite word-- ********-- we use Jack. But much more than that, we do not recall." They shook their head to disagree with the memory assessment, and held Shu delicately, so as to not crush her hands. "We did not belong, in Halloween. We wished to become a tool, to be strong. And so we are growing stronger, every day, with Leslie." They thought of how far they'd come, and grew pleased. "We sleep a great deal. We watch over him, a presence like a guard standing at attention, roused when needed. You would have to ask him for the feeling of it." Aleria squeezed Shu's had a little tighter. "We find his proclivity towards pathetic sorrow when presented by fear frustrating, but we will coax it out of him yet." They smiled, unable to conceal their double layer of teeth with their hands. "When faced by danger, we wish to feed." Their grip grew a little tighter, still. "The red eye mission was enchanting."

Shu As the demon talked, Shu's eyes rolled around as if she was thinking or processing information she obtained. "I know a friend that focus on infirmary work too. I agree, Leslie is too 'honest' with his feelings sometimes, it easily irritate people. I talked to him about that, but he seemed didn't care." The petite girl shrugged. "At least he can sense coming dangers and he's internally kind." She made a stress on "internal". Her eyes sparkled like kids learning magic from a magician, "I haven't been to Halloween World yet, so it'll useful, Z don't tell me that." < You didn't ask.> "I want to be stronger too, I know that desire well. If you're happy with what you're now, then forgive my worries." Her heart yearned for strength and power, she knew she will be desperate for it, but not now, another day. Shu smiled but then pouted, didn't mind the grasp at all. "You know he's quite grumpy, right?" A glint flashed by her amber eyes as she saw the double layer of teeth, it was incredible. "En- Enchanting?" It puzzled the petite hunter. "Leslie didn't tell me anything besides hinting something awful and treason crisis, what - what exactly happened?" She wanted to know, both to satisfy her curiosity and worries as a friend.

Shu"Ah, well. Internally kind is very generous of you." Aleria nodded firmly. "We very much prefer this form. Although, it is possible to visit Halloween. The youngling did. He was a very tall cat demon, if we recall correctly." Their smile grew impish and playful-- but only for a second. "We killed and hunted, as did the others. But if you wish to know more, it is not our story to tell."

Shu"Cat demon!" The girl squeaked in sparkles and got carried away, "How tall was he? What did he meet and do? I wanna go too....but-but the Haunted House experience scared me......and I am not brave enough to go alone, I feel like this clumsy girl would slip out secretive information or spotted flaws that not a Halloween resident at all." She dejected, emotions like a roller coaster. Kill?
Hunt?Keywords Aleria said magnified, dyed in a bright red color in her mind and then melted to show a field full of bloody corpses. The memories were exaggerated: bodies floated in a pool of red liquors, sounds of dripping blood could be heard, the distorted painful faces of the deaths, etc. Shu's body uncontrollably quivered in an oblivious manner, as if there was a slump in surrounding temperature. The debilitated hunter gulped, tried to calm herself, convinced that it was over. "Ahhh...it is-it's fine, I'll find out one day....One day." She managed to fake a smile, the quaver at the beginning was suppressed and stabilized. Leslie come back, he's fine. He didn't mean to hurt others, just like her.

Shu "As long as you ask a lot of questions, some students do not seem to know very much, too. But we're not sure what is standard knowledge; we cannot recall." The demon watched Shu begin to descend into concern, acutely aware of her stumbling. "If you ask, he has told others. He was under an influence that we were not privy to. We saw the end results, we helped execute, we hungered. We still hunger. But that is part of who we are, as a weapon. We are base instincts amplified."

Shu "I'm not too worried about students...but the horseman...they seem hostile and pretty perceptive. The one I met wanted to kill me, but I escaped with the pendant." Shu attempted to brace up. "It's not like I'm scared of you or any-anything, it's-s just...I recalled some awful memories. I understand your hun-hunger, I-I-" She stumbled of her words. "Leslie and me aren't that close enough for him to speak of the details, though I told him what happened to me...at least I think we are friends." She smiled. cherno astra Your cute Leslie avatarrrrrrr

Shu"Oh," Aleria said, nodding. "We are intrigued. But Leslie only desires to put as much distance as possible between them and him." "I keep hearing my ******** name," Leslie yelled, bitching from a distance, a scowl on his face. "Can I come back over yet? Jesus christ, girls talk a lot." The demon waved him over, but not before laying a hand on Shu's shoulder, squeezing it in a way they thought reassuring. "You have time, youngling. Be patient with him."
