There was this itch. An itch that Pepper couldn't quite scratch. They didn't know why, but it felt like they had to do something. They were glittery and it just seemed like something was... Off. Shinier and shinier things had been drawing the Imp's attention, well, more than usual anyway. But nothing seemed to be exactly what they wanted to fit this itch.

It took them days to figure it out. it was driving the Imp crazy. Their green eyes gleaming on every sparkling stone in sight. When their eyes fell upon a soul stone, it clicked immediately! They needed it, who cares who they imbue with, they just wanted this stone. Sure, there would be a small helpless little freshling from it later, but right now, all Pepper could think about was the soul stone. It plagued their dreams as they tried to sleep. The need was never ending. That's how they always got.

After they figured it out, they needed to make sure that this was right for them. They mulled it over, pondering, wondering if this might be a wrong decision. "Even if the stone collects dusts, it'll be fine. There's no worrying if I don't mess it up and keep it safe!" The Imp smiled to themselves as they tried to figure out a plan. "There's always the orphanage too..." Pepper shrugged, it was a great place for children. They were a cache baby and it's not like they felt hindered by it or anything. There was the academy where the kid could go to school at later on in life, they would be all set. It was decided. Pepper would seek this out.
