"EH HEM!" a loud voice yells, clearing its throat out, making the various bandits and naga's eating under us turn to look at it, a few hissing and growling as they do so.

I turn, and see one of the royal guards of brasurburge, standing at the end of the dining hall, looking disgusted at the rabble that has been squatting in my castle.

"Attention" He says, the grey haired man moving his hand to the pistol at his side with a cold look in his eyes "I have come to bring a message from Lady Mizuki to Lady Iris and....her consort the...distracting rainbow demon...as well as a package from head chef Snack, if any of you scum could lead me to either of them I'd be sure to ...reward you in some way or another"

"that idiot is going to get himself killed" Iris says after a long drawn out moment of silence.

I just laugh, and smirk

"Yeah he probably is, should've of figured she wouldn't leave her room, especially with that her new friend of hers around" I cackle happily as I let myself drop, flapping my wings so I don't plummet into the giant bowl of....Meat? under me

What do I do?
[] Threaten the bandits/nagas before they tear the guard to pieces
[] See what the guard brought
[] Distract the crowd so Iris can get the message
[] angrily ask why all these people are still in my castle
[] Annoy the guard for no good reason

Shoot,I completely missed this.

I fly down, diving just over the crowd of angry monsters, close enough to run my hands over their heads. its kind of funny watching them jump in their boots from that, since they all look so tough and scary, like they'd actually eat anyone who looked at them the wrong way.

I can hear Iris flying just behind me as I shoot over the dining hall, and get ready to land.

The guard glances up at me, as I land in front of him, spreading my wings and smiling as he moves his hand away from his hip, but keeps the disgusted look on his face.

"Demon, I have a letter for your" He says as Iris lands next to me, as I hear the bandits staring to draw their blades "...Lady iris! I've got a letter for you!"

He smiles widely as he sees iris and I lean closer to him, bending over. All the men drawing their swords put them back in, and I hear a few mumbling behind me as the air grows thick with lust.

"Well what is it?" I say, trying to sound more alluring than I already am, which I don't think is really possible since I just naturally sound attractive enough

"Can I see it?"Iris ask as the guard ignores me

"Of course my lady" He says as I huff and lean closer, and he shudders, trying to avoid looking at me as I think I hear the crowd of lechers cheer

"WHAT ARE ALL OF YOU STILL DOING IN MY CASTLE!?"I roar, my voice losing its pleasant gentless as I twist my head around almost unnaturally, feeling my spine twisting around itself in my neck as I turn to the monsters

"Thank you" Iris says, as the naga's all fall to their..."Knees" and the bandits look back and forth between each other, like they're debating what to say to me

"Well sun caller" a big man with his lips ripped off hisses through snake like fangs that are sitting under his oddly angular eyes, which cover his otherwise blank face "We thought you'd let us stay in here, since you never told us not to, and well...took over the place...we simply assumed you and the scourge had made a pact or alliance since neither your nor your woman brought it up before"

I glare at him, frowning deeply as I turn around to actually look at him and cross all four of my arms as my tongue lashes out of my lips, making a sharp snapping noise as it goes

"Hey Iris do you really think its a good idea to bring travel with this hunk of junk?" I ask angrily, turning to her...why is she so pale and shaking like a little girl who just saw a monster under her bed, she looks absolutely horrified "Iris?"

"M...marla was" She says staring at the paper, as the look of horror deepens and "She was'

"Hmm" the guard asks, craning his head closer "The damn traitor? what does it say about her, if you don't mind me"

"GET OUT!" Iris roars, her eyes glowing green as all the nagas pull their eye covering masks down, and a few bandit's cover their eyes

the guard stutters, not able to even form a proper word or do anything but fall on his ass and run off.

I smirk and....god this place is so rusty and stuffy...it smells terrible to I really need to redecorate this place before we leave. I can't keep my babies in this place, or let anyone else see this hunk of rusty metal with a bit of frosting mixed in otherwise they'll think we're invading or something

What are the odds that Blondie and crew are accidental stoaways.

Because I bet they are still lost in the castle.

>>1040231
Either way, we need to get them their maid outfits, and give them proper quarters wherever the rest of the harem sleeps.

"Iris?" I ask gently, reaching out for her shoulder as she stands there like a living statue, I've never seen her get liker this before, I don't like it! why is this happening to her! "what's wrong"

"Read" She says flatly, covering her face with one of her fur covered hands, as she hands the paper to me.

I grab it from her gingerly, and grab her with my lower arms, hugging her to try and cheer her up a bit, maybe even banish whatever bad feelings she's having right now.

The paper is written in lip stick and blood, with dried pieces of candy covering it...and its smells like dust and sugar.

I peek closer, since the writing is so small, and hidden among mad drawing's and scribbles, which the letters curl over and under in a broken, almost childish way.

"Marla had a boyfriend you know, iris chan <3, She loved him dearly, but told no one, not even her sisters, not even her only nephew, but I watched them jealousy for a few years, watching both of them enviously. They did all sort of fun things, like you and Mali do, but I didn't watch those, I'm not weird after all :p. So they were pretty serious, lovey dovey and everything like that....Marla was going to bite him, turn him into a werewolf, add him to our family...an uncle, isn't that lovely"

My heart falls as Iris sniffles, and grip my sides, biting into my shoulder gently. I can feel her shudder, and feel her blood filled tears as I read the next line

"He died during mom's rampage, he was one of the few who realized she had went a little over board, and with the rest sought her out....his blood was ripped from him, and I watched, even got a nice picture of it, because it reminded me of this one scene from...anyways Momma ate his soul, along with several others. And this made Marla mad as you know but! There's a reason she hasn't come back, besides the whole killing her lover thing...see, Marla had a little bun in her oven by then, We have a cousin....Poor thing probably has a few problems due to mom battering Marla like a chew toy buuuut. we millers are a resilient bunch, and if you're wondering how you'll be able to track her, well I caught her boy toy's last breathes into a amulet, they'll seek her out...trust me"

My heart freezes...I mean I wouldn't...that's...that's horrible, I mean I can see why Marla was so angry about all that, besides the fact layla killed a good portion of the city that day.

I don't know what to say to Iris either, I don't know what to think...I just feel scared, and feel a pull in my gut imagining if that happened to me and one of my babies.

I close my eyes, trying not to think about it as I hold Iris close, as she shudders, not saying a word as she sinks her teeth a little deeper into my shoulder. I know what she's feeling, she's always been a kind girl, she loves her family. Just hearing this must be tearing her apart, I frown and kiss her forehead.

I just don't know what to say to her.

I frown and sigh, Iris left to go get some air, pushing me away to do it not too long ago, leaving me sitting here alone...I hope she's going to be okay I want to be with her, and help her get through this, but all of this is...its too much for me, just the idea of that sickens me, I can't handle it. It makes my stomach hurt, thinking about if that happened to me and Iris, if one of my children got hurt like that, if I lost her. I just...can't face it, it hurts me like I feel my heart fading away in my chest...I don't like that feeling.

"...she's wasted on the scourge's neice, I'm telling ya" One of the bandits say, making my eye twitch as I realize I'm standing around a bunch of trash...and rust

I need to fix, I need to clean...they're all...well most of them are ugly and scarrier, I'm used to being around pretty things. And if I make them a little less...monstery, Maya might not be so scared of them

"SHhh, she'll hear you and"

I hold my hand up, magic swirling around it as I connect to the seed I left in the core of this place, using its power to turn all of the metal into nice, clean and sweet candy. The bandit from before turns to me

"SUN CALLER WAIT" He yells, covering his face, as soap and scissors fall on him, forging themselves out of smoke and the air, cleaning him up as I fix a few of his other flaws myself

"GET AWAY FROM" A hair ball in chains screams at me, before I turn, leaning my head and grinning

"No?" it asks, like a little girl as its fur flies off of it, revealing a girl like kelly, without all the

>>1040435
The hallway leading to the dungeon is empty, like it usually is..Since Vera is usually out and about unlike most of her family. I swallow as I reach the door, and notice a hand print of blood on the stone door way. I run my hand over it...its still warm, my skin shivers and I feel cold as I open the door. there are nail marks all the way down the barely lit stairway, leading down into the darkness.

I begin to walk down, wincing as my bare feet splash in warm blood caking the stairs. I walk down into the darkness, coating my hands in magic to banish the shadows as they swallow me up. I can taste the sharp taste of fear in the air, and can hear crunching and as I get closer, wet slurping and tearing.


I step off the last step, and touching something soft and warm. the blood red eyes of a vampire turn to me, as the light in my hand falls over a body, and two figures. Clementine's pale face smiles as she tilts her blood covered head, as she snaps fingers off the guard's barely connected arm... Kelly is in his guts, eating them ravenously.

"H..hall....haaaallluuuup" the man wheezes, his chest raising as I cover my mouth "Halp meeeeh pluhssss"

*sniff sniff*, the vampire leans close and sniffs me curiously, blood dripping from her chin and onto my chest

"Awww, demon" the vampire says sweetly "You fat friend dropped the key when she last fed us, this poor fellow came to check in, I was about to go looking for her...since she looked so...delectable"

"Stay away from jenny" I say sternly as she giggles

"I wasn't going to eat her' She says sweetly as Kelly sits up, her face covered in fat and blood as she turns to me and growls

"Bad taste" She hisses, lowering herself to the ground "Put me in a cage"

He's in a cage with two maneaters, they probably figured he wouldn't be fast enough to escape in time.

Another thing, why are we keeping Kelly around?

We saved her from slavery, shouldn't she just thank us and be on her way?

Seems like sticking around with us hasn't done her any favors. What motivation does she have to keep hanging around? Are we not letting her go for some reason?

Finally caught up with this quest, and I have so many questions and comments. Apologies in advance for all the drivel you are going to hear from me. I will do my best to keep it concise, well written and constructive.

>>1040558
I figured they'd just start eating him again, maybe ask us to heal him a few times while they eat their fill via repeatedly biting off his limbs or some shit, these two are pretty fucked in the head.

>>1040558
Well, at the beginning Mali was still mostly human in her morals and mannerisms, but as time went on, her demon side grew, she spent 99% of her time with the Millers, and in general just became a different person. She's still a million times better than a regular demon, but she doesn't really care about this sort of thing any more. And besides, a quick death is the greater mercy at this point, if he survived being eaten alive he'd be mentally fucked for the rest of his life.

What has that got to do with it? Are you implying they are going to keep trying to kill him with us here? Will they try to interrupt us saving his life?

At this point I think we are more than capable of standing up to them and more than a little motivated to put a stop to their cruelty/callous feasting.

>Well, at the beginning Mali was still mostly human in her morals and mannerisms, but as time went on, her demon side grew, she spent 99% of her time with the Millers, and in general just became a different person.

I can understand why you would think that, pretty classic tale of slipping into depravity; and at first she was definitely demonstrating a bit of that as her human mind was getting used to all her new instincts. But the thing that actually redeemed this quest in my eyes considerably is the fact that she isn't that simple. Lately, it seems like she has been getting more used to her urges and managing them better. She has been showing more and more regret for the things she has done impulsively. She hasn't gone hunting for souls to steal in a good long time -- she also has some regret about the things she did to get the ones she already took. She has been feeling bad about what she did to Alith and Fina and looking for ways to make it up to them. She went through a good bit of effort to curb Layla's bloody wrath.

She is interesting because she seems to be fighting hard to reconcile her more caring and human facets with her new demonic ones, and the interesting part is that she seems to be winning. And it is written thoughtfully enough to be at least a little convincing. That is a pretty uniquely powerful thing to get across in a piece of writing if you can pull it off successfully: that it is worthwhile to struggle against your circumstances and nature.

She growls at me as Clementines daintily bites off the man's fingers, like they're snacks. I stand there, my jaw dropping as I watch that man's clouded eyes stare at me pleadingly, trying to drag himself out from under the two man eaters as one of them continues to eat him with a sweet, almost motherly smile on her face. My stomach turns cold, and turns upside down as the vivid scenes of hell play in my mind, of souls flayed alive and being set to a boil so my brothers and sister could drink the juices that ran off of them, of demons tearing each other apart and inflicting...terrible things to others. It all hits me like a bat, as a small voice in side me screams loudly. this poor man's suffering reaches deep into my chest, and grips my heart tightly.

I've seen stuff like this before, it shouldn't hit me this hard but...I've never seen someone being devoured like this, alive and begging for help. He's fuel, prey...but this man did nothing wrong, and while I'd say that's just life and ignore it, like I've done with the people I've ruined or turned into chocolate...I want to just leave, just turn away and forget what I was....but I remember he's stuck in a position like I was. dying because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, because of the millers.

My heart twinges as I watch the man wheeze and struggle to breath again.

"Pluussssshh" He groans, as Clementine chews down his hand "Sabe meeee, muh wi...wif needs meh"

Alright that its it mali, you're being human here today, nice! I've never used my magic to save someone before but I'm sure it isn't that hard, I mean I can do so much with it. Fixing someone shouldn't be too hard right?

I frown slightly...I don't know anything about the human body, and mine isn't...like one anymore. I bite my lip, trying to imagine what organs are supposed to look like, and where they're supposed to go. It makes my head hurt

12+18=30= success DC = 30

Red lights flow out of my hands, and Kelly watches them curiously, hungrily.

"Oh? Magic?" Clementine says dreamingly as they wash over the man's stomach and

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He screams as his flesh bubbles and twists, coming together in an odd way as his skin forms in the blood, a disgusting looking lump of meat and bone rising from his stomach as he spasms and flails around wildly.

His soul begins to rise from his chest, and suddenly a smokey hand reaches up from the ground, and shoves it back into the ground

"Don't forget about me" the guard screams, his face twisting and forming a skull for a moment as I rush to him and begin to pull at my mistake, ripping it out and trying again

"Let me help" Clementine sigh, tapping my head as she grabs my hands "you're just torturing the poor guy"

I nod, trying not to think about how a side of me was enjoying how he screamed, even if it was only for a moment, I don't want to think about that at all, or ever again.

My instincts are hard enough to control, I don't need that kind of feeling in me

>>1040708
Its not really that successfull. While Mali has mostly retained a ethical outlook, she undeniably has some pretty warped ideas and ethics, both stemming from her demonic nature and exposure to the Millers (who admittedly are mostly fairly benign compared to the family Matriarch).
But still, its not as simple as saying "she is winning", because her victory is balancing these influences and not arbitrarily no-selling them.

>>1040729
Exactly, Mali is a very fine balance point between the girl who was once Alice Hiral (I don't remember how her last last was spelled, sorry), and the succubus Malizeral. And for the most part, the human side has remained fairly dominant for the most part, she still feels human emotion and cares about her family more than anyone else, even herself. But that's another thing, anyone who isn't her family means much less to her than they might have otherwise. Her demonic nature, and the fact that the only role models she's had so far are the Millers (not a bad thing persay, but that'll still skew her morals into something decidedly less human than many would accept.) give her have a very high potential for madness and all the negative aspects of lust most of her kin revel in and embody. The fact that she's still mostly human in mind and moral is an amazing statement of her sense of self and strength of character. But, as I've said, this life is still far better than anything Alice might've expected to attain otherwise.

>>1040721
Weird organs form in the guys gut, regrowing as Kelly cocks her head, like a dog begging at the table side.

My hands shiver, as I frown slowly....its funny, I've seen people sewn into floor at the lust den, and used as furniture...but this feels more real for some reason...but it also feels fake and cold. Like...its an act. like I just sewed a toy together.

I smile, as a warmth banishes that feeling away...but I saved this man, my magic did good, I did something that didn't make something worse or depraved for once

I like it

and I hate it, it makes me feel ...odd, like eating a sweet after dinner, fulfilled but somehow dirty.

"Oh? You can make us more food then? I knew there was a reason I didn't bite you more"Kelly snorts sounding much more well spoken than she used to be

"Ha...ha...ha" the guard says, with an odd smile as he sits on the ground, staring at the scar sealing up his chest, not saying a thing or a noise besides his own rapid breathing

"it is a pretty neat ability" Clementine says, grabbing the man's hand

"No" I say sternly, erecting a wall of crystal between her and the man "and no"

I grab Kelly by her throat as she lunges at him

"Let go of me" She says coldly as I press my face up to her, and she growls

"No, I'm not letting hurt him anymore, he doesn't deserve it" I say confidently and sternly as she snarls "Bite me, try it.....I dare ya"

She frowns as I smiles

"Sorry" I say sadly as I let her go, grabbing the man, and pushing him towards the stair way "For everything"

He tumbles, and glance back, screaming and crying as he scrambles up the stair way

"So rude' Clementine sighs, tapping the crystal wall infront of her "after we had him for dinner

Kelly growls as I sigh

"For locking you down here, forcing you not to eat people, and threatening you like this" I say sadly as she huffs

"Don't care" She says as I frown "But...thanks, but I'm still mad about it, got it?"

"Will a hunt make it better?" I ask with a smirk

"A HUNT, WHERE WHERE!?" She says happily jumping on me before she pauses, and squeeze my chest "You've gotten bigger...and fatter...you've BEEN EATING WITHOUT ME!"

I smile weakly and sigh, well at least she'll take my mind off all of this

Before I forget, reading this quest has been a blast and I have been more or less content to be just an observer. However, there is only one thing I really regret not being around to weigh in on to try to influence the outcome: Kozy.

First off, a warning to the QM: creating life is in the tier of things you want to be extremely careful with and keep it as a fairly circumstantial and exceptional occasion. HM, I know you are familiar with a quest going stale because the main character has simply become too powerful. Creating complex life from almost nothing is pretty high on the list of things that can lead to that. Maybe go back over it to explain how the circumstances were special so Mali can't just make individuals out of effectively nothing. The monsterfolk village in the forest was also pretty extreme but not as bad since she was simply changing things that already existed.

If she had gone to the trouble to gather souls or soul fragments or made any sort of real sacrifice as a cost, that also would have made creating Kozy a more "safe" course of action for Mali to take (mechanically speaking,) but having her just create her out of an arbitrary amount of ambient lust, her mark, and her magic, and some handy metals and pillows seems a bit too easy. Now it might have just looked that way to us, there might have been more to it than that, (and I hope there is, and if you planned it that way all along, kudos to you,) but if not, you might want to seriously consider assessing a consequence or requirement post-facto so that so Mali doesn't become too godlike too fast.

The other thing I had against Kozy, is that now Mizuki is going to slip further into her shut-in ways. This is more of a personal preference, but I was more interested in exploring Mizuki as a character and maybe even "rehabilitating" or socializing her to see where things go from there. I would have been in favor of including some caveat in Kozy's creation that might actually help Mizuki grow a bit more . . . functional. That way Kozy would be serving a purpose other than just enabling Mizuki to continue to be a dangerous, kidnapping, hiki.

There is nothing functionally wrong with how she is and how she is written, this is just my own personal desire of where to steer things in the quest. It is kind of the point of questing: you get invested in some way and try to steer things how you want them.

>>1040801
>[] in the forest, away from my people

>>1040849
I think you overestimate the seriousness of this quest. There is no such thing as a ability thats too powerful/broken. Since that'd be assuming its intended to be balanced.

>>1040849
>Creating complex life from almost nothing is pretty high on the list of things that can lead to that.
Thinking further on it, I can't really think of any problem we could be challenged with that this ability would trivialize.

>>1040849
I think Kozy was intended to be practice for Mizuki making real friends, more or less. Whether she does or not remains to be seen, but that's still a possibility. But yes, I do hope we help her come out of her shell. But, the bright side ids she probably won't kidnap people anymore.


>>1040884
That, and why would we create more life? I can't think of any real reason for Mali to do that right now.

>>1040884
It IS supposed to be balanced, but primarily for opposed challenges where we have a opposituon to overcome. Not narrative challenges where the question is more the how rather than if.

>>1040911
>I think Kozy was intended to be practice for Mizuki making real friends, more or less.
I think it will help her to have asort of "safety blanket". Mizukis problem (besides being fathered by "Maria") seems to be a feeling of insecurity, that she feels not appropriately loved 'back' by the objects of her affections.
Hopefully having Kozy will take care of that and allow her to rech out a bit more to people without being so overly yandere by having someone to fall back on.

>>1040849
you were just make kozy
Because
Kozy doesn't have a soul
She's instincts and feelings, but in the end there is no one singing, its like a live performance recorded and played back.

Making life needs a soul, since demons can't make those

She's basically a golem programmed to be a "friend". She can do things and learn, but as it stands, the raw stuff of self...a her isn't there. what Kozy is at the moment is raw desire and lust, the desire to have someone who'd love mizuki, so that's all she has...as well as a fear of Mali, since lust demons are the predators of such things.

Kozy without a soul, is a being that is unique, she exist, feels and can learn, but...its different, without the soul being there. She might find one/ make one later, but as it stands Kozy is an oddity, what happens when Desire is given a childlike mind and told to work as a person

A sacrifice would make her closer to normal.

but to be blunt, Kozy is stuck between being a thing/ recording and a person, like Mali is stuck between humanity and demon.

Kozy is a person, she can feel and learn as I said, but until she gets a soul, she's sort of....empty, understand?


and there are ways to make mizuki more "Normal", especially revolving around kozy "growing" into life/being


anyways writing, just thought I'd explain what kozy is

Because souls are important in this setting
and she has none

I have arrived after beating minesweeper. Fuck yeah.

>>1040955
That's about what I figured, thanks for clarifying.

>>1040729

Let me bullet point where I am coming from for total clarity:

-Mali started confused and scared, and was hesitant to embrace her demonic side at first.
-Mali then got over it and started motherfucking stealing souls and corrupting angels and other dark and demonic shit: and it felt good
-But then, for some reason Mali reflected on her actions and decided to tone it down and be a bit more careful. Also, she discovered her mark which causes lust to express itself in a number of different passions and not just the most strictly sinful. Kind of a sign of Mali's maturation as a more "grey" soul than one stained pitch black -- which if things kept going how they started she would no doubt have become. Instead she fought back and found a compromise.

See, that paints a picture that isn't just an ever worsening slide into demonic depravity, it sounds more like a struggle. In a struggle, sometimes you are winning, sometimes you are losing. In the more classic tales of this kind of thing, the most you can ever get is just some pyrrhic or misleading victories before you are tragically consumed by darkness.

Rather than spiraling into total depravity and completely forsaking her compassionate nature, she saw where she was going and arrested her own fall. She might not be a goody goody, but that is still admirable -- even moreso given her lack of any good role models. Hell, morality is contextual. In this new world, you kind of have to allow for some major differences.

I didn't say she was good, she is just struggling to make an effort to be less bad: she is eking out her own humanity and doing a good job of it, if her recent actions can be any indication.

>>1040955
>Because souls are important in this setting
>and she has none
That makes her pretty similar to a Creature of Chaos (and Order?)

>>1040979
>But then, for some reason Mali reflected on her actions and decided to tone it down
Pretty much just because iris pointed it out and yanked her proverbial morality chain.

>>1040979
>it sounds more like a struggle
From a certain perspective, but its not really a struggle anymore than any other person "finding themselves".
She didn't really fall so much as gradually grow more comfortable with her demonic instincts.

"AIR, FRESH AIR, THE SMELL OF DIRT AND WATER" Kelly screams, rolling around in the mud and grass, staining up her jacket as I watch her smiling "I can breath, I can smell the world, the things, the prey, the meat running around and flying above me!, I CAN RUN AND JUMP AND STAND TALL, I CAN BE ME AGAIN, NO CHAINS, NO METAL, NO CAGE"

I take a deep breath and smile, tasting her desire to run and be free, to feed and dance around in the organs of her kill. Its sweet but sour...very sour. Still, I do need to make it up to her after locking her in a cell for...however long

>>1040955

Thanks for clarifying. I suspected something along those lines, but I guess it just wasn't spelled out clearly enough for me.

Setting aside the meta-phsyics of the concept of a soul, this also leads to an interesting dichotomy which doesn't really look good for Mizuki: either Mizuki is happy with her new "friend golem" and therefore is so out of touch that the soullessness thing doesn't even matter to her contact-deprived psyche, or she isn't happy with it at which point she will likely gradually realize that something is very wrong and come to resent the thing, for reasons she isn't experienced enough to fully comprehend.

Poor Mizuki.

>Thinking further on it, I can't really think of any problem we could be challenged with that this ability would trivialize.

It wouldn't necessarily trivialize encounters, directly, it would just open the door to a well of complications of almost bottomless depth. I could rattle them off, but my point is it is broken not in what it does for us but in how it cheapens our accomplishments in comparison (if you accept that creating life in such a fashion is as jaw dropping as most would tend to believe.)

Obviously, wouldn't be true for everyone, but it would be true for enough people to matter.

To be fair, that was one of his greatest accomplishments and she was only a clone forge from the raw stuff of Chaos. Not to mention a total bitch.

Wind blows through the leafless trees as kelly screams to the sky, until her voice turns ragged and hoarse, and she lops around like an excited puppy, crouching and crawling like she usually does, keeping herself close to the ground as I follow after her, hearing her smell the earth, and chew her lips hungrily. She stands up besides a dried up skull, and looks down at it like she's debating if she should eat it....which she probably is.

"So, guessing you're enoying yourself then?" I ask happily as her head shoots back to look at me, far to quickly

"Yes, of course I am, I've been stuck eating cold me for months, this is GREAT" she says through her teeth, talking in odd pitches and tones, like she's struggling to speak correctly, but its a lot better than how she used to basically growl and bark out a few words every now and again...she's gotten better at speaking like a person

"Why do you talk good all of a sudden" I ask frowning "I mean, why are you so much better at speaking like...well a normal person"

"Clementine taught me" She snorts, walking along the ground as she sniffs the air, I run my hand over a set of burnt claw marks...this has to be the work of a beast right? "She said I'd get more meat if I talked like them, and you, she said I sounded like...a parrot? or some other meat thing, don't care, its a chore talking like this"

"Yeah kind of is some time" I say, feeling a little lost as I follow after her "So do you want to talk about yourself while we hunt or... I mean I just want to know you, besides the fact you're always hungry and cranky"

"...I've told you everything" She says after a moments pause "I am me, there was a girl before, but she was burned by the men with the crosses, the same one clementine draws"

I frown as she walks along and huffs

"I just want to eat, I don't want to talk to you" She says bluntly "You're being nice to me, but....as I said, talking like this is hard and...hurts"

"Hurts?" I ask as I watch her rub her throat as she growls

"Hurts" She says nodding as I follow after her, trying not to step on anything sharp, like a branch of dried up thorns

"Sorry I've been making you talk so much then" I say as I step over a branch as she snorts

"Don't worry, it doesn't hurt here" She says touching her throat, tracing her chewed up hand to her chest "it here that hurts, but I don't get why"

I do....I think whoever kelly used to be is still inside her...somewhere deep and dark. Yeah not thinking about that, its too depressing to imagine.

"WHERE THE MEAT GO!?" Kelly whines, stomping the ground as she looks around, sniffing and snarling as the footprints end at the rock, where a mass off shattered bones lay.

I frown, as she continues screaming and yelling, turning away from her I follow the claw marks along the tree....they're moving up into the higher branches, into the older trees. I glance up, and see and odd looking wing hanging from a mass of brambles and bones, high above my head

In some sense, you are right. We all go through some sort of internal struggle; it's part of the human condition. It's one of the things to bear in mind when you want to write a good character. By that same token: demon's don't. They pretty much by definition have a lack of conscience. Fish swim, birds fly, demons sin and torture. It comes naturally to them.

But Mali doesn't. She wants to, and yet, for the most part, she doesn't.

The choices she makes are literally her rebelling against her very nature in a manner that is, so far, unique. She is succeeding at being more human than expected when the odds are rather stacked against her.

Is it? We don't know any other Demon in her circumstances.
Until we meet one its hard to tell how common it is.

I guess I can't really agree with your assessment because you're seeing Mali as 100% Demon, where in reality she is actually more like 60% Human and 40% Demon, since she has a entirely human soul.
So her behaving according to not-Demonic instincts isn't her "rebelling" against her Demon nature, its merely balancing it with her human nature, which is just as much part of her.

>>1041203

>>1041149

That was why I made that stipulation. I suspected some would argue that it isn't.

In which case it just devolves into my splitting hairs over how it makes a significant difference when you are making something from nothing versus something from something and how this is clearly a case of the former rather than the latter, but thats not important now. It's moot anyhow since HM set me straight.

>>1041152

Ticktock had to get some of Eli's blood to make Crimson Nightmare. He made her FROM something which is different in my narrow and pointlessly specific opinion. There was a specific requirement which makes it different.

He used her blood because he wanted to clone her, not because he needed someones blood.

been a while since I've seen discussion get so lively here, its nice~

I click my tongue, getting the man eater's attention as I watch the wing fold itself back up into its nest and vanishing from sight.

"Hmmm?" She grunts as she cranes her head over and lops over, crawling on her hands and feet before she stands back up "What is is rainbow tits?"

I shush her and point to the nest hanging in the sky, she grins hungrily her icy blue eyes glowing as she begins to lick her scarred lips and with a deep guttural snarl whispers "Foood"

She ignores me, and heads over to the tree...yeah, she's more of a beast than a person isn't she? the only reason she doesn't try to eat me or any of the vampries is because we taste bad to her...she eats people, she doesn't care about them besides the fact they keep her from being hungry. I shake my head, and grab her shadow, my skin turning bitch black as I melt and meld into her shadow, darkening it as she begins to climb up the dead, brittle tree.

Branches fall as she scramble up it quickly, like a squirrel, bones falling under her feet as she rushes the mass of branches. She slams into it, snapping them like a bunch of twigs as she snarls happily. The beast wakes up, a great feathered snake with the face of a man turning to face us, as Kelly bites into its "shoulder" blood and feather's spraying as it wakes up squawking, and flapping.

it coils around, trying to knock her off of it as its massive, bearded face screams in agony

Well, I did say "so far." I know we have only seen a handful of demons, but among them she is still unique at this point.

>I guess I can't really agree with your assessment because you're seeing Mali as 100% Demon, where in reality she is actually more like 60% Human and 40% Demon, since she has a entirely human soul.

Remember: many if not most demons are made from human souls, they just go through a "reforging" in hell where they lose memories and stuff -- still somewhat unexplored territory of the setting but I think I have this right.

It is pretty clear that Mali is effected by what can only be described as demonic instincts/impulses; I am equating that with her nature.

And while she, vividly at times, experiences said instincts, she is able to occasionally subdue them; I equate that to rebellion, but "rebellion" might be too strong a word here. She is more resisting than rebelling I suppose.

I would agree that she isn't 100% demon. She is hanging on to what makes her human, that was sort of my point. The only thing that is 100% demon is her physical body.

>>1041427

No, you misunderstand. Mali is 'literally' still human inside. her human soul is still 100% there.
Which isn't the case for demons who just get souls molten in and reforged into something entirely new, the base material is a soul but they dont actually 'have' a soul.
Mali 'has' a human soul which is why she can act "non-demon" to begin with. In fact most of the first threads was entirely about her having to accept her demonic instincts because she is first of all a human.
Thats where I jusst disagree with you, because Mali isn't a demon trying to be human. She was human first.

Kelly's black pits of eyes seem to glow with life as she clamps her jaws into the things wings, hanging on for dear life as I hear its bone crunch and then crack all with in a second. Her claws turn its feather's red as she rips into its flesh, and begins to chew through its wings.

It raises its tail, and moves it to slam the part she's hanging onto into the tree. it would crush her skinny starved body. she might be a monster, but ...well I'm not just going to let her die, especially after I just let her out to be free and get some fresh air.

I dip my hand out of the shadow, and snap my fingers. Black smoke pours out of kelly's shadow, and wrap around the monster, turning to dark metal chains, slamming into its feathered body pinning it to the nest with a loud slam.

With a sound of ripping leather, kelly rips off a swathe of its skin, and the thing begins to smoke as it screams like a man. I can smell magic in the air, weak magic....its going to catch on fire.

So you are saying he could have created something just as complicated and life-like as Crimson Nightmare without anything to base it off-of? How do you know? I mean it might be true, just never saw anything to that effect. Making a modified copy is easier than starting from scratch, isn't it?

>>1041318
>Well lust is something to demons, they can interact with emotions on a

That's fine, it is pretty clearly something tangible to demons seeing as how they literally eat it.

My personal take on that whole scene though was that it didn't seem like a big enough deal was made out of the "lust" component of the process.

In retrospect, Mizuki's desire or "lust" for a friend was potentially quite immense -- special even.

That being the case, maybe Kozy's creation was more unique than I initially thought? Would any old lust do in the future? I'm hoping not, just because I want to have that occurrence be rare and it just feels more coherent that way.

>>1041503
It was concentrated lust created from years of Mizuki's pining. Basically fine wine for lust demons, not a spontaneous desire, but a burning, yearning consuming one

Its rare because there aren't a lot of Demons who do it for free and few people who know Demons could do it, and thus would offer their soul for getting it.

"Kelly!" I shout into her ear, straining out of her shadow, stretching like I'm getting up from laying down "its going to start burning, kill it quickly!"

the thing squirms and struggles in its chains, screaming and shrieking like a dying chicken and the farmer the chicken belongs to as it tries to desperately free itself, steaming as its feather begin to ignite and smoke white, like a dying fire. Crawling over the thrashing creature, kelly sinks her fangs into its neck, pushing its face away from herself as she climbs over its face, holding its jaw closed. she pulls ripping its throat open, as the thing screams weakly and tries to swat her with its wings.

She just leans out of the way casually, dodging its every attack as she claws into its face, ripping bloody chunk of meat and shoving them down her throat, cooing happily as she bites down onto its oversized eye. I climb up her back, watching as she squashes it, and the bloody juices flow out of her teeth as she grins dumbly, licking them off her lips

the creature's body shudders, as Kelly continues feasting on its face, mauling as it screams, and screams like a man. I wince as it sobs, and Cover my ears as I fully step out of her shadow, watching the flames growing on it lessening and begin to vanish as I focus on them, turning them to smoke as Kelly bites into its skull.

I frown, and watch her drink its brains up, as she gnashes them away with her teeth....did she grow? Wait, I tilt my head and lean closer to get a better look.

She snarls at me, and pulls the creature closer to herself with her legs.

Fine be that way then, its not like it matters anyways

Adding, seems like it would be an important thing to do.

>>1041449
Alright, we seem to be having some trouble understanding one another. I think I almost completely agree with you. Let me be as unambiguous as possible to get us on the same page, feel free to dispute whatever premise you like:

1. Mali is the result of Alice being sacrificed to create a familiar for Iris.

2. The ritual didn't go as planned and somehow Mali wound up still having Alice's mind.

3. Mali is a demon in form. While she might still have a human soul and mind, she is still a demon capable of doing the things a demon can and lives off the things that demons crave.

4. Demonic appetites and tendencies are infiltrating her mind and affecting the things she does.

5. Despite having very strong demonic urges forced on her mind, and gaining a demon body, she persists in hanging on to at least some of her human nature.

6. The path of least resistance would be to just give up and go with the flow. Succumbing to her instincts feels good, but still she resists. This is an act of resistance by Alice's mind: she is rebelling against the urges that came with the new body.

I am in and out of my browser window as I work, sorry for being a slowpoke.

>>1041705
>4. Demonic appetites and tendencies are infiltrating her mind and affecting the things she does.
This is the crux between us, I think. As far as I see it, her human side is infiltrating her demon body just as much as the reverse.

>6. The path of least resistance would be to just give up and go with the flow. Succumbing to her instincts feels good, but still she resists. This is an act of resistance by Alice's mind: she is rebelling against the urges that came with the new body.
Thats certainly true, but I could say the same about my urge to eat steaks every day.
I guess her decision doesnt have a moral gravity to me like it does to you. She just behaves the way she wants to, and when her demonic instincts give her the desire to do something she consciously doesn't really want to do, she just doesn't
And then there are some things she would totally do, but Iris tells her she shouldn't.

Its really just like any other person with their instincts and urges.

I suppose in a strictly technical sense thats 'resisting_' them, but she's also 'resisting' her human side by the same logic.

"Kelly, we're going out again" I say calmly as she continues gnawing at the still steaming beast's head, paying no attention to me as she eats through the things skull...bones cutting up her lips as she gnaws through it, ignoring me "You know on the road again, with all those tasty things to"

"You won't let me eat them" She grunts as I sigh, as she scoops her hands into the things crushed skull, pulling clumps of grey goo out, slurping it out and licking her fingers before she stabs them back inside of the thing's head

"Well I might, we're apparently going to a place that doesn't like us Brausrburgi" I say sadly as she snorts and pulls the things skull open a bit wider, dipping her feet in, and licking the brains off them to

"And?" She asks, slapping her lips loudly "if you're bringing me, just bring me, I don't care where I am, so long as I'm not stuck up in one place"

"Alright, but you have to know there are people you can't" I begin, hearing her snarl before I finish "Eat, because if you do I'll be VERY upset, see they're the ones in the castle dressed like jenny, you know if the white and black"

"maids?" She ask with a groan "errgh, they smell bad with all that stuff sprayed over them...wouldn't eat them anyways, no idea why clementine would"

"Different tastes" I say happily as I grab her hand, and she bats me away "Are you almost done?!"

"Not until its gone" She says with a grin as I sigh, and try to plan out where I'm going to put her room, so she doesn't eat any of my maids or scares Maya....or runs into Galina and ends up roasted.


Maybe under the hoard
-

"Another cage?" Kelly growls, her eyes scanning the hard white frosting room, staring at the various pillars and bars I've given her to climb, and the pillows made to look like cuts of meat, and the pool of cold water next to the racks of drying meat.

"No its your room here, think of it like a den" I say happily as her eyes light up and look human for a moment as she walks over to the pillows and smiles

"Room" She says, laying her head down on them blankly.

"Well I hope you like it" I say, closing the door of peppermint bark behind me as I walk up the stairs I made out of hard candy up back into the hoard.

"WHAT did you do?" galina says, looking confused as I see Maya trying to learn how to slither on the new smooth floors

"Oh turned everything into candy" I say shrugging

"Ah...repainted? in one night?"the fire ball asks as Alith tries to figure out how to stand up on cold frosting

"Even the plants?" Lifa asks, sounding horrified, her one eye wide

"No" I say warmly, ruffling her hair "I know how much you love them"

She sighs and smiles, hugging me as Galina sighs

"Why would she paint the bushes?" She grumbles as she floats away from me, and I smile

I smile as I watch my daughter's explore their new, and sweeter surroundings, the once gold room now a creamy white with bright lights instead of dim ones.

Questions about Kelly I have been meaning to ask:

Does she require intelligent food? Does she have to eat things alive? Or does she just prefer them that way?

>>1041793
>[] ask my daughter's where she went
>[]check her room *and get stuck*

>>1041796
She can eat anything, but she prefers intelligent food as it fills her up for longer and generally tastes better not that she cares.

She prefers the meat hot and the blood fresh, and is impatient due to the minus twenty she has to will when hungry/around foood

"Hey, Lifa?" I ask, crouching down to look her in her eye as she lays back against a pile of gold and frowns, wiggling her toes in the pajamas I made for her earlier "Did you see where Iris went by any chance?"

"Hmmm, no I was asleep until you brought that....thing here" She says glancing over at the closed door leading to Kelly's room "So sadly I don't, maybe one of my sisters know? hey can we cuddle later"

"Sure thing" I say happily as I see Maya glaring at me, looking annoyed as she wiggles her tail over the odd new surface "ehehe, sorry sweetie, I didn't think it'd be this bad for you, want me to pick you up?"

"its fine, I'm just...its an odd sensation' She says calmly as she tries to slither over it like she used to "But I don't enjoy it, and no I haven't seen your pet mother"

"She isn't my pet" I say as Maya slithers over next to Lifa "and also clean your tail if it gets sticky alright?"

She nods, as Lifa grabs her and uses her life a pillow

"Alith?" I ask as my "eldest" stops sliding around on ice, and crouches down in front of me, bowing her head "Do you know where she went?"

"Oh iris?" She says sweetly as I see Galina patrolling the room again "She said she was going to her room to think Mother, Sorry I didn't tell her sooner"

"its fine, thanks sweetie" I say, kissing her cheek, watching her face turn hungry as she holds her hands in front of her human "lap" while I run past her to go help my honey
-
I sniffle, my hips hurting as I wiggling my legs under me, tears dripping down my eyes like black ink over my milky white skin. I can't move, I think I got stuck, I knew there was a reason I decided to live in the castle. Why hasn't anyone widened this hole let? it seems like it'd be something they'd get done, I mean sure I'm the only one who can't fit, but still this...this just isn't fair...I need to get out of this and find Iris but...I'm stuck because of my big rump.

I whimper, flapping my wings pointlessly as I look around the darkness and sigh, closing my eyes as I try to reach out and talk to Iris with my mind...since she's done the same to me once or twice I think.

Iris? if you're up here, please help me, I'm stuck and I can't get out...also are you doing okay? You were crying earlier and I...I was really worried about you...iris? can you hear me? are you alright

*Mali*

I gasp as I hear her voice, and see her swoop down in front of me, her eyes looking redder than usually as she crouches down in front of me

"...Mali" She sighs, ruffling my hair "why'd you try and come through here again"

I smile meekly and chuckle

"didn't want to break anything" I say, kicking my legs again "A little help please"

"Have you tried shapeshifting" She asks as I bite my lip...

>>1041737

Hmm, well it seems like you are mostly seeing things in a much less sentimental and more pragmatic light than I am. Still, if you will continue to humor me, let me try to explain my reasoning.

We already agreed her mind is 100% human, yes? If so, then the demonic urges would be foreign, hence they are infiltrating her mind. Conversely her human part, her thinking feeling mind, isn't infiltrating the demon body, it is piloting it. It is already as infiltrated as it is going to get.

Here is why I see Mali's efforts as at least a little admirable: because the urges were foreign and she wasn't used to them, she didn't really have a defense against them to start with. Initially, it doesn't take much for her to sink to some pretty depraved things. But it doesn't end there, after awhile she seems to rally her defenses and start exercising some restraint and temperance -- not even always because Iris said so. Even if doing the more human thing would be hard/dangerous so it is more than simple pragmatism. I would posit that after already succumbing, it would be harder to justify the effort and restraint in stopping. What she pulled off was at least as impressive as quitting smoking.

Ultimately, I am just imagining (in my bleeding, sentimental heart) that it probably would take a fairly strong soul and/or will to achieve such a feat as overcoming her assigned demonic nature.

I tried to justify that by saying that other demons are not as different as you seem to assert they are, merely being "conditioned" more than Mali was. It is still a little unclear but at the very least the souls in questioned are totally wiped of their memories. If anything of a person remains beyond their memories in their soul, well, we veer back into the metaphysical once more. Sod that.

>>1041936
>[] turn myself to my imp size, and feed her sweets
Just to see if we still can

>>1042000
>[] ask how she's dealing with what we learned earlier

>>1042031
>If so, then the demonic urges would be foreign
Well, not really. Its from her body. So its not really foreign. Its new, I grant that. But something new isn't really foreign as I understand the word.

>>1042031
>merely being "conditioned" more than Mali was
They just simply aren't the person the soul they are made from belonged to. Thats all there is to it, they aren't "conditioned" they just exist with their urges and live accordingly because they have no reason not to.
Mali is only idfferent in that she has a second perspective they don't have. Its entirely unclear to us how much effort resisting her demonic instincts really is.

"Of course" I did, I say with a fake chuckle as Iris steps back, her expression not changing at all as I I make some of that paint flow down me, and shrink my hips just long enough for me to pull myself through, and expand them back to their normal size when I get up into her room "I just wanted to be saved by you is all"

"Silly as ever, eh Mali" She says, sitting down on the bed we used to share, all of her books backed up into neat bags stacked around it "Sorry I made you worry, but I had some last second packing to do"

"Its fine...Are you feeling alright Iris? do you need anything? if you do, just tell me" I say softly, as I walk up to her, and kneel down, putting my hand on her shoulder as I hug her with my lower arms

"You being around helps" She says smiling a bit as she rests her head on my shoulder "It must be scary seeing me like this"

"it is" I say frowning as she sighs and hugs me back tightly

"Well, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me" She says sweetly, making me smile, before I frown again

"You know your mother probably didn't know about either of the things we learned today" I say, brushing some of her black hair out of her eyes, as she smiles and nods

"Yeah, I know, she wouldn't be able to handle it if she did, she's only been able to handle hurting marla like she did, because as far as she knew, Marla attacked her for no reason besides the people she killed who were all unrealted to us and traitors in her eyes" Iris says softly, squeezing me softly "And she'd probably lock herself away if she knew about the baby"

"Yeah, but I'm just making sure you don't think she's some kind of...well more of a monster than she is" I say, putting my head against hers

"I get it, I'm just...its such a tragedy, I just can't get over it, and I don't think I ever will until I get marla back" She says sadly, hugging me tighter, her voice breaking...sounding unsure

"And your cousin" I say sweetly as I pet her head gently "Don't forget them"

She frowns as I hug her tighter

"Hey, your family is tough, I'm sure she..or he is alright, especially if Marla is as tough as everyone told me she is" I say happily as Iris smiles a bit "I mean Alex made it seem like she was invincible with how he talked about her"

"That's because he looks up to her, and my mother is so strong...there has to be something she damaged" Iris says, her eyes going wide as I frown "I mean, babies are fragile, even if their mother's bodies protect them in utero mom is...mom is just so powerful what if...what if she"

"Stop" I say, squeezing her face, making her glare at me as I look her dead in the eyes "Don't think that grimly I'm sure it will be fine"

"But what if it isn't?" She asks, weakly looking up at me, pleading for me to give her the answer "What if she did hurt Marla too much during their fight"

"I'm sure she didn't" I say softly as I hold her to my chest "You're really not taking this easily, are you"
cont

I am super curious to see what Layla's reaction would be if we told her the truth behind Marla's actions.

However, I think I might want to verify that just in case. We probably owe it to Iris (and Layla for that matter) to make sure Mizuki isn't just screwing with us. She said she had evidence of some sort? Maybe look into that.

>>1042110

"Of course not, it breaks my heart Mali" She says, sniffling as she buries her head in my chest "Just thinking about it, It...it hurts"

I say nothing as she presses herself against me, shuddering a bit, as her tail flicks back and forth

"I don't even know the whole story, but it hurts, just thinking of how she must've felt, the desperation she had when she ran off...I can't handle it mali" She says, looking up at me as tears stream down her face "I can't"

I smile, and wipe the tears from her cheeks with my thumbs and lean closer to her

"Want me to cheer you up? Take your mind off of it" I ask as I lay her down in her bed, as she looks up at me, her eyes lighting up as she realizes what I'm planning on doing it "and forget it for awhile, you know I'll make you feel god"

I look down at her hungrily, as the warmth in my body heats up to a burning heat, as I get the urge to just eat her up here and now

"Mali, no its your instincts talking" She says, trying to push me off of herself "just...I'll be able to deal with it, trust me"

"No you won't, you'll just hide it away!" I shout angrily "You're a better liar than I am, you'll just let it eat at you, I know what that feels like Iris! I don't want you going through that! you don't deserve that pain, so please, just use my body to cheer up, its made for it and I won't mind at all, just....please let me help, I don't want you going through what am I"

...did I just say what I am...I meant to say was. I bite my lip as Iris frowns and closes her eyes

"Please" I say weakly as she smiles weakly

"I..I don't think it'll take my mind off of it" She says blushing slightly as she sits up next to me, and reaches her arm behind her back "But it might cheer me up for awhile"

I grin as I feel her undoing my bra

"Well that's all I can ask for" I say smiling as I lick my lips and look her up and down, as she looks me in the eye and hugs me

"Just...don't go to far" she says softly "I know we've been over this but...if I stop being in the mood"

"I'll stop" I say, kissing her forehead
-

"Why didn't you just stay this small?" Iris asks, holding me as I wear my usual bra on my head "It seems so much more convenient"

"Because, I prefer being big, with a nice plush..motherly body and really hate being small" I say happily as I drop another blood candy into her mouth "And aren't you cheered up now, being with little me again

"Well I thought you meant something else" She says as swishes the candy back and forth in her mouth as I hug her and chuckle

"Well I didn't want to break the bed, and we can do it in my castle whenever' I say happily "...besides I can still enjoy YOUR body like this"

"And not give into your instincts?"She asks, as I push another candy into her mouth

I bite my lip as my face starts to burn up as Iris picks me up and holds me up in the air as I squirm

"Noooo, I wasn't going to do anything I swear" I whine, as my body and mind tell me to do a lot of things

"I know, but I missed holding you like this...I almost forgot how cute you were" She says with a sneering smile "it almost wants me to eat you up"

She licks her lips

"Iris?" I ask, my voice squeaking as she opens her mouth "Iris please no!"

*CHOMP*

"AAAAAAAAAAooooooow" I groan, as she bites into my shoulder, making me shudder with pain, and stings of pleasure, as she holds me close to her like a mother...or big sister, my eyes flutter as I begin to feel a little light headed

They are definitely foreign to a mind that is 100% human. Do humans normally crave damning other human souls?

Either her mind is completely human and foreign thoughts are infiltrating it, or her mind is no longer 100% human.

From the moment of Alice's rebirth as Malizeral, her mind has been in the process of changing from what it was in some pretty dramatic ways. And those changes, those urges did not come from within. They did not originate in the relatively healthy and sane mind of Alice the human, they came only after her rebirth into demonhood. Hence, they would be foreign -- at least to the mind of human Alice.

If you define Mali by saying that she was never 100% human in mind and instead some sort of aggregate of human and demon from the moment of her creation onward then they would no longer be foreign, in that case.

And I would dispute that it is "entirely unclear" how difficult it is to resist. HM has made it known that it takes at least some conscious effort and she agonizes over it. It is just not completely clear or even measurable for that matter.

Anyone else?

Oh you tease.

Could Iris use Mali's shapeshifting magic to go back to her old form? Or at least make herself less scary and dangerous?

Also, wouldn't she have a true form eventually as one of Layla and Maria's brood?

Mizuki stared at her friend, tilting her head, and watching her copy her movements as she sat with the odd girl alone in the tv room...well one of many, holding the dog eared girl's ears up, making her look uncomfortable and annoyed, until she pulled out the bone again, and made the girl's eyes light up and track the bleached white femur around as Mizuki giggled happily

Setting the bone done next to herself, on the couch right beside where she was sitting, kozy leaped on it, biting into it as she leaned against her friend/owner, smiling happily enjoying the game they were playing...but she didn't quite get it, or the box with the things on it, called the tv, she liked it though, it had pretty sounds and colors, and the people in it were interesting..

"Liking it Kozy?" Mizuki asked, her voice making Kozy turn to face her curiously, wanting to learn new things and or have more fun with the big spider girl "its a little too actiony for my tastes...kind of boring actually, Hey want to watch some of the things I like while I teach you some new things"

Kozy smiled and wagged her tail thinking it'd be fun to watch Mizuki's shows again, frowning as she struggled to understand what was going on with the people in the screen, running around silently as the volume had been turned down.


Why was that one smiling upside down.

Kozy's simple mind couldn't understand,andquickly lost interest when Mizyuki wanted to play chase again. and ran away from her friend, towards their now shard room, with webs on her ankles and wrists.
-

Maria woke up, and yawned, grabbing her darling...except she wasn't there in their bed, sitting up with the thin white sheets falling down her, Maria looked around the room tiredly, her hair sticking up at odd angles. Frowning, she realized her wife wasn't in their room...which meant she was out doing something else without her, something that always put a damper on her day and made her want to stay in and lay around more than usual. Stumbling through the far too bright room, the "King" of Brausrburge stumbled into the bathroom, with polished marble tile and no mirror. Slumping against the sink with a weak yawn, she spread her fuzzy wings, flapping them once or twice before they vanished into nothing.

Smacking her lips, she turned the faucet on splashing her face with ice cold water. Yelping cutely, she dried her face, shivering as she turned to go and find her darling when...something in the trash can caught her eye.

Crouching down,the half asleep vampire peeked down into the white can sitting next to the toilet.

And woke up instantly as she saw something sitting on top of all the trash, as the magical crystal lighting the room glowed even brighter. Reaching forward, Maria realized it was a pregnancy test, and pulled her hand back. and as she did, her heart beat once, twice, and then a third time before it stopped again

On the small test, with a smiling cat face on it was a small +

"Possitive?"Maria wheeze, her face lightning up as she stood up, her throat feeling dry as she looked around breathing heavily "I..I..this is...when..this is fantastic!"

She rubbed her head laughing happily as she feel back, squeeing from pure joy as she caught herself on the wall.

Shaking her fists, she decided she'd wait here and prepare to pamper Layla and tell all her little babies and pamper them to...oh she'd have to tell them, it wouldn't be right to keep it a secret. then she stopped, and frowned, and smiled as she thought about names, and other things that made her grin widely and joyously.

She wondered....did Layla know it was positive. Her smile faded, as she realized her poor kitty might end up panicking from surprise..like she did with Karla. Maria smiled, and giggled remembering that day so many years ago...and with a sudden need to embarrass her eldest daughter, she set out to find the family scrap book

>>1042353
Yes of course, and Iris can turn back to her "base form" she just prefers having the tail as it adds to her balance, kind of like how Layla never changed herself back from a cat girl.

>>1042508
Ah yeah
we'll end here
I've archived
and wil; answer questions

>>1042508
>and with a sudden need to embarrass her eldest daughter
Hahaha
Some things are universal.

>>1042525
Thanks for running HM!

Baby Snek soon!

>>1042508
Meanwhile, Malizeral rubs her empty belly still wishing for a child.

>>1042525
So did we take everyone who was in the castle then? Can't wait how the border guards will react to seeing a giant pile of candy coming at them. It's more than regular candy though, right?

>>1042525
Great thread as always HM, thanks for running. Holy fuck, I knew the situation with Marla was bad, but I never would have thought it would be that horrific. But, Kelly is back in the fold which is nice and, most importantly, NEW LITTLEST MILLER! Glad some good news came out of this thread, that's going- wait, hang on. I just had a thought. What happens if Marla's kid didn't make it after all? What happens if she freaks out when she see's Layla again... Well, terrifying thought's aside, goodnight HM. Holy fuck this thread...

>>1042549
Yeah, its long lasting, self replenishing/ repairing candy. Also, I'll do a thing for them, since I think it'll be funny

>>1042549
And imagine how upset she'll be when she finds out, that her mother in law got a baby before she did

>>1042543
Maria is best father

>>1042555
Don't think like that.
Also, fun fact, when I first woke up today, I thought maybe Kelly could help Maya level up, then I remember Maya wasn't a fallen angel and felt retarded.

Still, plenty of chances to level Maya/ the other daughters and kelly next thread

>>1042555
well... layla's got the soul of marla's boyfriend somewhere in her gullet... if we could convince layla to let said soul out and then made a body for it, marla and her boytoy could try again for a kid... though revival in that sense is probably a bad idea, I doubt the poor mans sane after however many years in layla's hellscape of a stomach.

>>1042525
Good thread. At least some good things can distract Layla from our expidition.

I for one hope the five girls are stowed away somewhere...Though if Maya was unprepared for the candy change...I weep for Blondie...

Shame we didn't get to those daughter level ups but hey, Kelly got some!

>>1042576
>I doubt the poor mans sane after however many years in layla's hellscape of a stomach.
He had awesome company though!

>>1042575
Hey HM, when will Mali get a pet loli? It seems almost mandatory.

>>1042458
Cute

Not sure what the changing into imp form was about, but it seemed to help Iris out a bit.

I swear if the lewd bin doesn't have full sized Mali after being teased all this time I'll-

>>1042583
he was sucked up along with an entire riotous mob, I doubt they make good company, sure layla's big name residents are cool but...

>>1042575
>Don't think like that.

Oh thank fuck, I gave myself a minor panic attack just then. Huzzah for new sister in law! And for leveling up our kids/friend!


>>1042576
That might work, though I'm not sure if she can just release them or not. Still, she did something like that for the asshole Thomas, so she could probably do it again. And I don't think Layla's soulscape would be that bad, you get to talk to some really interesting people/monsters, and all the free murderporn and Yuri you want!

>>1042600
Keep in mind this is a guy who could make Marla fall in love with him. He's not some random loser, he must be a pretty huge badass, normal or not.

>>1042615
well, durable at least if not a badass, she might have gone for a sensitive nature type for all we know... but yeah he does have a better than average chance if he was dating a miller.

>>1042584
Maya is...kind of a demon Loli?

But if you mean a pet instead of daughter...whenever Mali has an episode again I guess if you guys seek loli

>>1042586
Man, I may be a dick, but I wouldn't be this much of a cock tease just to make a cute bin about Imp Mali and Iris

Though that would be cute

>>1042614
Yes, Like Sitari,
or Thradrick,
Or Alive
or Jack
or the priest with the fire swords.
or the demon screaming, trapped inside of her
or the man who is forever on fire and burning

>>1042632
Some "normal" souls do have the ability to remain sane inside their vampiric "tomb"

like the priest

>>1042633
>but I wouldn't be this much of a cock tease just to make a cute bin about Imp Mali and Iris

Don't even sit here and pretend like you wouldn't.

I'm on to your games

>>1042575
>And imagine how upset she'll be when she finds out, that her mother in law got a baby before she did
Well then she and Marla can be salty together then. Yay, bonding!

>>1042633
So how's Layla's inner space like these days?

>>1042633
I feel like all of them would have something interesting to say at the very least. Especially Perpetually on Fire Man.

>>1042636
>like the priest
Yeah I mean if you think marlas boy toy got it bad, then look at this guy who isn't just trapped in Laylas head space, but also got front row seats to watch the love of his life continue to degenerate into a cannibalistic monster.

>>1042633
>or the demon screaming, trapped inside of her
Does she have a name? I doubt there will ever be a day we could do anything with her, so would you mind telling it if you did bother to name her?

>>1042641
Yes
such wise words, like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
or "GRAAAAAAAAH"

>>1042639
Depends on where you are in it, but there are a lot of wonder/ Comatose souls, crying in pain and torment from being subjected to her mind, lots of monsters, some souls trying to...live, andthen her familiars just chatting and talking with her making her look crazy

>>1042651
Oh yeah, he got it baaad. Clementine used to be such a...well not a sweet girl, but she was better than she is now. Even if she is more polite now adays

Speaking of priests, are there any more of them? Did the other religions fair any better? Will we run into any mages who do more than swing around a cheap crystal?

>>1042724
piggybacking on that, any cute witches we can ship with mali's daughters?

>>1042724
A few.
Yes, Buddhism in particular
Yes, but mostly monsters/ monster blooded ones, but a few are human


>>1042732
Of course

>>1042747
Anything interesting in Chernobyl, or is it the same old arch looming over with an old evil.

>>1042798
Yes
but its a secret

I had a spoilerific thought regarding Layla's actions and Marla:

At least some of the souls Layla devours can talk to her from inside her soulscape. What if this guy Marla loved was one of them, and at some point Layla has already learned the truth from Marla's dearly departed directly? She could very well have kept it to herself due to doubt or something, and has been in her own private hell tearing herself up over the possibility that she did one of the few things she actually can feel regret over: hurt her sisters. She might just be maintaining her story that she still considers Marla a traitor just because denying the truth is easier than facing it.

Profound? Or am I just full of it?

>>1043347
I think you may be on to something. At the very least, the idea is plausable.

>>1042508
>Yes of course, and Iris can turn back to her "base form" she just prefers having the tail as it adds to her balance, kind of like how Layla never changed herself back from a cat girl.

Well, I guess I was thinking along the lines of "what if she doesn't want to hurt Mali as much?" or "What if she wants to go make nice with good but squeamish people?"

She has transformation magic, so I just wondered if she had that capability. I know you and your followers seem to have a soft spot for monster girls, but I am just being pragmatic. I would be a liar if I claimed I didn't care for them at all. Let's just say this isn't the first "Alice" I have been enamored by.

Something that I admit is minor but still nags at my OCD: That whole lust demon aversion to clothes thing. It sounds like it actually causes them physical discomfort or even pain, rather than just being a tendency, preference, or instinctive impulse like the rest of their demonic behaviors. It seems kind of ham-fisted and forced in how it is described, currently.

How absolute is it? Is there a reason in the setting's own lore for it being a thing in the first place? Does it serve any thematic purpose beyond the obvious excuse to have underdressed sexy demons? Isn't a lust demon's drive to evoke lust in everyone they can in order to feed a sufficient excuse to have them be like that?

Seems kind of like a handicap if it is a big hindrance. For example, if a lust demon ever wants to impersonate someone who isn't a total exhibitionist in order to, say, get close to someone without immediately putting them on the defensive, they have to suffer for it.

Deceiving mortals is like, damn near the primary thing demons do! They shouldn't be punished for it, right? Lust demons deserve the right to not immediately out themselves! How can they be insidious otherwise?

Maybe it would make more sense if it was something the younger lust demons and imps grew out of or learned to eventually overcome? In that context, it would be like a survival instinct to ensure that in their early lives they are passively more likely to get fed by the lust from weak willed and simpler minded mortals they come across. However, in the case of more powerful, intelligent, righteous and/or guarded mortals, targets the older and more powerful lust demons might deem worth seeking out, it would likely require a more subtle approach to even get near them; something they might struggle to do if they were still fettered by sand paper clothing syndrome.

>>1043692

As for the not wanting to hurt mali thing, the fangs don't hurt a demon much, since demon get torn to shreds regularly, they have high pain tolerance. But it does still hurt like a bitch, mali just doesn't complain about it, and Iris doesn't usually feed on her because demon blood is....odd

Sorry I didn't answer this
But you are actually right, stronger demons can avoid it, they just don't care and still feel out of place in clothes.And the fact most of them like showing off

They can possess mortals as well, and are usually strong in magic, especially illusions

Its caused because of the sin in a lust demon. the sin in demon do effect them in certain ways, as it can "Corrupt" a demon into a dual type.

But why it causes them physical discomfort and pain is because, demons act a certain way when they're made of a certain sin. Its why most gluttony demons are basically animals. There are exceptions to this rule, of course, like raz. But ignoring these rules hurt the demon in a way, like a rage demon not giving into their rage or trying to find peace would feel pain. Its sort of an instinct to keep them feeding, a failsafe to stop them from falling into sloth. Kind of a minor curse built up due to them being made of ONE sin in particular.

Now most demons,these weakness don't effect them at all. As most lust demons just chase the carnal lust, they don't pay it much mind at all. But of course the ones who do care about it, just wear clothes until they "break" the curse or solely feed on people who have a desire for clothing/ stuff they can wear, until it balances out the lust making up their body enough to fix it

And when demons get strong enough, they get distanced from their sin in a way, which is how the inbuilt rule/ curse fades, because the demon by that point has become different from the others enough that they're known more by their titles than their sin, which actually effects them physically .

But most demons don't change, why would they, its fun to do what they've been doing, and lust demons, besides a few cases Like Mali, are all sluts who enjoy showing themselves off and the lust that they cause from it.

From their perspective, they can be sneaky and deceive people, and the smarter ones do act like that more often than not. taking over wives/husbands for a spell, or addicting people to nasty things to draw on their lust as their souls decay

But as a creature of pure desire and wanting, they follow their own lusts, and most of them are exhibitionists

the ones that aren't are rare, simply because basically all demons aren't like mali is.

But when they want a target like that, lust demons, the older/ powerful ones, will either possess a mortal, or use illusion magic while remaining hidden.

Since if they appeared to mortal eyes, most of them fear attracting an angel, because besides Mali, most lust demons do not fight. They're creatures of comforts, and are used to using their magic to break down someone's
cont

>>1043736
morals and add depravities
the simple fact is, lust demon's don't care, as they don't think like mortals do, even if they're the closest demon's to them, and can even develop emotions outside their usual range.

They use their magic in subtle ways, ways that are deceiving, without ever having to show themselves besides maybe a shadow figured or voice in the head of whoever they're talking to. They also have powers like mali, and use that to trick others into "helping' them, or just straight up using someone to ruin another's soul, but possessing them, or forcing them to commit the acts whoever they bargained with wants to do on them


I'm not sure If I answered your question or cleared it up

since I just woke up when I wrote this


but the basics are, lust demons continue to not wear much because that's how they are, they can't feel shame about it, and if it has the chance of ruining their chances of taking a soul, they'll just hide themselves like most demons do and use their magic in subtle, clever ways, or just use their magic to disguise themselves or in the case of ones who don't feel the discomfort of clothes *Some continue to do so after they get strong enough to ignore, simply because its ingrained to their mines at this point* just put on clothes and change themselves to look mortal.

but the problem is, most lust demons only care about that one kind of lust, and ignore most other kinds.

There are demons that do what Mali has done from time to time, and feed/ use other lusts, but like Mali they are considered "weird" and "odd.

(Mali really is incredibly showy for a demon, since she uses her magic willy nilly and almost never hides from mortal view)

>>1043743
desu Mali has corrupted like 3 fucking angels, at this point heaven must be thinking that it's no longer worth it to send angels after her due to sunk cost fallacy.

>>1043745
they were expecting a "normal" lust demon, not one that uses her magic like a sledge hammer and figured out how to infuse honey with her lust. they thought Lifa could deal with her, but didn't think know that Mali acts like a mortal, which through her off and put uncertainty into her actions

Same thing with Galina, she was expecting the usual depraved monster,and was surprised to meet a "Saint" of demons,who cared for mortal life.

Mali is an oddity, among both demons and angels. But neither side has realized that she doesn't think or act like them, that she still has her humanity, more or less

Also Alith was summoned by her true name, not sent.

Mali is currently on their watch list because they fear what will happen if she truly lives up to her mother of the fallen title

>>1043750
Also sorry for all the typos, I'm like half awake right now

>>1043750
Speaking of angels how many has Raz feasted on and at how many did heaven decide to just leave her be due to the fact that all raz cares about is gathering knowledge and eating interesting things.

>>1043756
Raz is the queen of gluttony sooo
A whole hell of a lot is the answer here, the last time they tried, they sent an entire host to face her down. Raz won. Maws are bullshit

>>1043759
>Angels:Your time has come abomination the heavenly host has gathered to bring you to oblivion!
>Raz: Aaah how nice of you an all you can eat buffet just for me.
>Angels: What?
>Raz: Maws
>no more host.

>>1043736
>As for the not wanting to hurt Mali thing, the fangs don't hurt a demon much, since demon get torn to shreds regularly, they have high pain tolerance. But it does still hurt like a bitch, Mali just doesn't complain about it, and Iris doesn't usually feed on her because demon blood is....odd

Oh totally, I get that much. But regardless of how much abuse Mali can take, Iris just struck me as being worried about inflicting that much pain or bodily harm on anyone unintentionally. She seems like a pretty gentle soul, usually.

And thanks for clearing things up with the clothes thing too, glad it is more complicated than just "lust demons = no clothes allowed."

>>1043750
So has heaven just decided not to send Angels at Mali anymore, given what typically happens?
