We still have members from that lovely world with the witches, do we not?

Might I ask a favor? Poor Charlotte has taken ill after playing with the children too long, and I was hoping to get a replacement or a healer, if it wouldn't be too much trouble.

Alternatively, I vaguely remember something about breeding them? Is it necessary to have two witches to make that work?

My children really do adore her, and would be heartbroken to lose their pet. If you can give any assistance, it would be much appreciated.

What kind of pet is she? I only know black magic but there's supposed to be other kinds of magic here. One of them might be able to heal an animal.

[Raenef appears to be actually worried. The thought of some poor animal dying is sad.]

[masked_god]

She is something called a "witch" that I picked up after one of the community viruses. Black magic might be able to help her, since she appears to be a creature that feeds on the suffering of others.

[didiscareyouyet]

It's a person? Your pet is a person?

[stillneedawish]

Why would you even think of asking for something like that?! You must know how dangerous they are just to have them around, right? How... how were you even managing to keep one as a pet for so long?

[masked_god]

Because my children care for her. She's the only pet they've ever had that's lasted more than a year and is willing to play with them.

As for the danger...my children are trained soldiers. They know when to leave her alone, and obey me when I forbid them to enter her labyrinth. She is no more dangerous than many of the other creatures on my planet, though perhaps a bit more toxic on the psyche, but I haven't noticed any unusual long-term effects.

So. Given that she seems relatively happy here, would you be willing to offer me another one of your witches? I promise she'll be well taken care of, fed regularly, and kept from too much strenuous exercise.

[stillneedawish]

Are... are you serious? You've honestly found a way to make it so that she wouldn't cause too much harm?

[ she's concerned about that "trained soldier" comment, both for the implications it has for the children's lives and what might be meant by "play", but she's far too shocked at the very idea of someone keeping a witch for a pet to even examine those other thoughts right now. ]

... What would I get in return for getting one for ya?

[ yup, kyouko doesn't mind at all, let people have witches if they want one.. besides, it seems like a good way to rake in some food something, right? ]

[masked_god]

That would depend upon what you desire. I cannot give you a planet, but I might be able to manage a palace or moon.

[Karakael is happy to pay a reasonable price for a witch. "Reasonable" being a highly subjective word when it comes to galactic despots.]

[selfished]

[ That's already more than she expected, yup.. ]

How 'bout a palace's worth of food? That's enough for me!

[yacantdoitkid]

What the hell, dude. What the hell.

[masked_god]

...you act surprised. Why?

[yacantdoitkid]

It's like you don't hear yerself talk.

ARE YOU INSANE?!

[masked_god]

That depends upon your definition of insanity. But no, I do not consider myself insane.

If you had read any of the other comments to this entry, you would know that the creature has as of yet done no harm to my children, nor has it adversely effected the wider world.

You...you...

Do you not know that used to be human, or do you not care?!

[harbingersoul]

A witch?

[masked_god]

A creature created from something called a "grief seed" that I cannot get from my universe.

[harbingersoul]

Interesting. You took it from somewhere else, and it stayed.

[anothersoul]

They naturally 'breed' by creating familiars. The familiars run off and eat a person - becoming the same type of witch that spawned it. The question is why in the world you'd keep one of those monsters as a pet?

[masked_god]

Is it necessary to feed them living humans, or will servocorpses work as well?

As to why, as I said, my children are quite fond of it and enjoy the games it plays with them.

Witches?

[masked_god]

Creatures created from "Grief Seeds" native to one of the worlds connecting to the community.

[sandinmyboots]

I can try and take a look at her. I know some spells that can heal undead as well as animals!

We may need to switch up her food, too. Do you have any convicts you need killed off?

[masked_god]

I would appreciate that, but don't worry yourself unduly.

I'm sure I could find some on one of the worlds I'm researching.
