Goblin:
Ye, there... how goes your search for what could never be? Intriguing, is it not? How it could never be, and yet ye thought it was... perception, and illusion, ever so...
Subtle, is it not? All of this... what doth it tell you, verily? Of horror incarnate? Why, though, it is but that which enables your current state... life itself...
It is that which is nigh made of sleepy ventures, academic even, but with terror at its core... sociology. What, you doubt it? It is, though, that which is physical...
Not that, one supposes, all of physics is not... but there is a difference between clockwork, and malevolent malice, verily... it is that which permeates, sickeningly...
This structure, even... an entire edifice built on deceit, and violence, clearly... why, you reckon this blood is a mere by-product? Well, it is, in a way, society's...
Raw psychopathy. It is the fundament of it all. Any other rationale is an excuse... why, you think I look monstrous? Oh, no, look for one's own species, for that, verily.
Ye think there is... some sort of... salvation, or at least, catharsis? Not even in your dreams, which shall be inhabited by nightmares manifest... and I am but a mirror.

Vampire:
I... drain the living daylights of every living creature... oh, you reckon? No, for I am no human, quite... but it is amusing how one was invented, projected almost...
For reality is internal... and horror, and violence... is it not the currency of life? Oh, when that tune of melodious pain plays, is it not the revolting ones who claim?
Claim, as if a cheap excuse... a terrible pun, almost... how up is down, for that is perversity of force. Why, it barely is needed, and yet the game is played...
For some reason... why? The psychological inverse, perhaps... even if it is pathetic, even if subsisting on blood is but a trope foisted upon us... oh, reality is worse.
For it is but a waste, unneeded, a product of pure neurosis... and yet it is, this revolting physicality, whose terrible result is Janus, made of anger, a dichotomy of...
Pure nausea... harbinger of hurt, cause of suffering, and yet the end of the equation, the butterfly at the end of the vampire's bite... in reality, symbolic of violence.
Why, are you not entertained...? This world is an aberration, and yet keeps existing. The meteor that sent terrible lizards into extinction? If only it was larger...

Demon:
Oh... would one reckon, with my appearance and all, that I am the source of all that is vile, does one? That, somehow, despite the fictive aspect of this chimera, that...
Somehow... regardless of the mythologies, or legends... all the ethereal possibilities, imagination.... I am the crux of... evil? However that specifically is defined...
Is it not ironic? Almost hilarious, if reality was not so sordid... is it not? As reality... real horrors, not imagined, not delusionally religious... not mere excuses...
They all do not reside in some projection, of which I seem to be, verily. For no demon, regardless of whether it is the morning star, or the... 'lord' sacrifices were...
Well... really, is the past tense appropriate? For, regardless of whether, or not, it was some ancient excuse... secular, or not... societies... seem ever so eager...
Now, one should tell me, despite my outward appearance, how ever could demons be the font of what is vile, when humans are the singularity of it all...?
Those... who destroy their own progeny, aside from everything else on their planet. Who annihilate the defenceless... who revel in collective approval. Evil defined as...

Red monster:
I do not suppose you wonder who I might be...? Why, I am but the tiny devil of mischief... well, in comparison to others around here, at least...
I might be slightly bigger than my peers, in my dimension... oh, you wonder where I come from? No? I shall tell thee, either way... why, I come from a realm where...
These... so-called... was it homo sapiens? The most ironic of names, verily, considering the stupidity of most of them... but I shall not specify, quite... either way...
Well... when some have had no influence in a certain realm... one can see the difference. Not that we do not squabble, mind, and most do play tricks on one another...
Maliciously, though? What was that, again... oh, violence, a primal force, and yet so human in its inanity... not that it exists not elsewhere, but for its own sake?
Just to... relish? Worse, it is often not some consensual bout against peers, no... against the weakest, smallest, hopeless? Nary a spot in the universe with worse evil.
Oh, we are certainly not 'devils' in any conventionally defined fashion, I suppose... no, for that one needs but look at the originators of such a word, themselves...

Lime Ghost:
Why, there is someone in this destitute desperation? Do you actually choose to be here, or merely plundered by circumstance...? For, otherwise, why would anyone?
Why would anyone consciously choose to be mired in such misery? Ah, this sordid world, is it? Life? What a squalid mistake, that was... one could argue, far worse than...
Say, some error that leads to death... for, at least, in unconscious oblivion... one feels not, thinks not; subjectively, then, it is as if all of existence is erased...
No more possibilities for... pain... pleasure, too, but it is ever so evanescent... no more spilling of blood through random acts of sheer savagery... it still remains...
Objectively, that is... as long as life, generally, exists, for all have ugly brutes, within... instinct, choice? Does it matter if destruction is the same, end result?
That is why all life should, ideally, be extinguished... not selectively, not through mindless acts of hatred, oh no... and if it is all on one planet... would it not be?
This horrid, torrid state of existence in which consciousness dictates, and physicality annihilates... nay, at best clockwork physics, it should revert to... not this...

Creature:
Oh... such a nasty overgrowth, would you not say? All of this... what might it be? All these random objects... all these squalid affairs... wait, you thought I was...?
I was... what, your perception's mirror? As, of course, mere appearance means little... for all we know, this abode means joy to someone, for some reason, despite...
Being so decrepit... inversely, an outwardly perfect life could not be so... of course, at times both can coincide, too. This might be one of those such places...
This is... a place where life takes form? Where some also go to expire, perhaps, too? A nexus of all that was, and is never by consent, including so much within life...
If that does not merit squalid, minute hints of all that is perverse within the randomness that is life, I am not sure what does... now, I might look so, but...
Devouring you, or whatever one might think someone with such an outward appearance would do... no, for that look among the plain, the usual; the ones truly vile, humans.
At times, as mentioned, outward appearance dictates actions, not... for who is more repulsive than those with a suit and a tie driving through consent merely due to time?

Monster with club:
Ye, there... what am I waiting for, tell me... I am not quite so certain, you see... surely you must know, though... for, otherwise, why would one be in the same place?
Who I am? Who, indeed... I believe... wait, a second... where even do I derive such a vocabulary from...? For, until recently at least, I lived in this societal... unit.
Whatever one might call it... I lived in this place, not quite here... and while there was strife, it was not quite so... advanced, complex, as out here... which...
Years... seem to have aged... all this... I never quite lived in such 'societies', you see, but I do not, exactly, feel like I am, possibly... monstrous? As some here...
Well, only appear to be so, I suppose... it is not like others, of my own type, did not pillage and ravish... anyone can be, and often those who utter such, are...
Where, though, does this... inherent cruelty, perhaps... come from? If everyone might contain it... if one could only speculate, and ruminate about it, but not resolve...
If, indeed, all that... why ever did this most sordid of states come into being? Should it not return to the void from whence it came? Consciousness; a mystery, a demon.

Mutant parasite:
Do you see... conventional beauty... beyond yonder, I mean... and yet it is a void, just as outer space is... just as internal consciousnesses... arid, bleak... sordid...
Can you see how it all connects? Physical, to physicality... it is nigh representative, and yet not... for we are but ruminating, but that is not what one expects, is it?
What does one expect.... for someone who perceives me? To be a serial murderer, perhaps? Worse? Why? For... no, at times it does not connect, correlate...
Physics certainly does not always parallel subjective, and chronological reality... one can look a brute, yet not act brutish... or somewhere in between... is uncertain.
Appearance means little, and for the most atrocious of acts? Collaborators... which further indicates how trivial individuals are... in groups, though, emergent demons...
By 'demons', of course, I do not mean any specific type of life, or otherwise... consider it an abstract, an archetype... statistically, it appears that humans are...
You see, in a sense, despite being of some sort of interest, perceptions tells little of substance, beyond effervescent feelings based on one's memories... not objective.

Zombie:
Who... am... I...? I cannot, quite, comprehend where I am, either... or what difference my existence has... why am I here at all, would you know? What is the point?!
I, just... woke up here, randomly... and now I am supposed to just... live? This is living?! Makes no sense... also, after waking up, moving about... slightly optimistic.
I mean, at that point it almost felt like I could explore, actually live... no, though, how foolish... it is when the savagery began... oh, you think I am a savage...?
Oh, no, not unless I choose to act on impulses, anger... which, clearly, many do... and did, perhaps because I am hideous, and they were not just individuals... a cobweb.
An invisible agreement, I assumed, something prior... nefarious, insidious; like a criminal conspiracy, but worse, as this was not the former, you see... poison, it is...
The most malevolent of a seemingly innocuous affair... sociology, all that pertains to societies... is it seriously called 'justice'? What an absolute joke!
I seemed to have ended up here, the apparent trash heap of psychology, where the remnants of those who are left to rot, after being... utilized... just keep rotting away.

Dog-like monster:
Grr... I reside in an underworld, where fires burn as ambers, and heat flourishes... so, how I ended up in this icky, metallic place, I have no idea... at least, I had...
A role, you see... a purpose, in that underworld, where the dead reside... I was the aggression inherent at all... I was the executor of furious anger, the vile bile...
Why, you reckon it is... not moral? Do morals even truly exist in this dog-eat-dog world where laws only exist to oppress? It was, also, not me... for I am but a symbol.
The tip of the spear of ire... it was not me, horribly thrashing a small, defenceless creature... I am but summoned every time anger is injected with venom from the...
Psyche of madness... you realize, I hold an unfortunate position, for although I know all of humans' putrid, horrid desires of destruction... I can do nothing to help...
I do not merely imagine it, as anyone can do, based on statistics, perhaps... in the underworld I witnessed it, and yet... life should not exist, I beseech you...
Why, in the underworld, some were compelled to remain, despite being alive... experience brutality, for it is all the collective prescribed... all life must go extinct...

SkeletonKnight:
You... pathetic visitor of a hellish dawn. You strange, animalistic quirk who barely survived. Oh, wait, that is not quite that, is it? I might reside in an underworld...
I might be dead, now... but you shall never be alive, even though you are not, technically, dead. Is that not sweetly ironic? Some have built structures, some invented...
I... while some might think I did nothing of note, I do note that what I did is destroy you. Annihilate you like the monstrous wretch you are... and leave you be. To rot.
For what better present is there, what more potent, loving symbol? Why, murder would just not be torture enough, no... leaving you to fester, all broken, decrepit...
In a pit of despair. Why, you thought you 'escaped', did you? Hah, I haunt you even dead, in your everlasting nightmares... what was it I derived from it, again? Damn...
I... forgot? Did I ever even know? Uh, perhaps it is... being dead, that makes me oblivious. I derived something, though... why, otherwise, would I have destroyed you?
Again, and again, and again! Until you were but a pulp! It was certainly not just myself, though, for if... well, I was certainly never as omnipotent as I seem now...
After death... what a suit I wear, your nightmares made metallic flesh! I might be dust, buried, physically disintegrating... are you not worse, though? I lived long...
Have you lived at all, even while alive, or have I, ever so pitifully, for you, succeeded in disintegrating you... while still conscious? Is consciousness not such a...
Double-edged sword? For pain, our currency, awakens the conscious experience to the possibility of imminent annihilation. The trick is to step back, to return later...
As if a vulture, as if you were Prometheus, with fire being the uselessness within Pandora's Box... hope? That someone might assist? You must have a comic sense...
For, all I remember, if indeed these are veritable memories I recall, not only could no one bother... no, they effectively collaborated with... myself. Not, as in, any...
Sort of... cohesive conspiracy, mind... no, you know it, you know vile sociology, although from my perspective... enablers of my satisfaction... verily. Oh, was that it?
I wonder if I actually talked myself into remembering what I derived... if so, does that not make your 'lot', even if alive, worse? Worse than someone who is dead...
Someone who is not even conscious, and yet invades your dreams... as has been done while still alive, like a horror trope made reality. What does such fiction usually...
Have, though? Ah, deus ex machina, was it? Well, unless the studios think that, somehow, mirroring your sordid life will bring profit... usually does not, so...
I was pleased to know that even... until the very end, after you thought you left your hell, me, behind... all was as negative as possible, and still is... for how not?
It would be, verily, impossible for it to not be... for, as mentioned, it might not be a conspiracy, but deep-rooted in society... at its very crux, it destroys...
It abandons, it gave me the capability, in life and in death, now... sociology is interesting, is it not? An unspoken collaboration of violence... ah, that...
Distorted melody of madness... speaking of which, are you sure you are not insane? I wager you are, for Pandora has nothing, not even what you thought you had, after...
Your pathetic bargain. Why, it would have been far more rational to be dust, yourself, for sociology was always going to be there for me, in the end...
Like Brutus' dagger, society enlivened me... in life, and now I have obliterated you to such an extent I still retain so much potential, in death... societies are useful.
Just as now, you had no voice... well, I am sure you thought you had at some point... sociologically, though... is it not the best kind of pain?
To understand it all... and yet be able to do... nothing. For you are nothing, and there you shall go... not where I am, no, although that might please you, which is...
Not exactly ideal to my purposes... what does it matter, though, as long as your life is in ruins, and even in death, I invade your consciousness, while awake, asleep...
That... is not nothing. Where, though, pray tell, do you reckon you are heading, if not to raw nothingness? You always felt it, for it is all you were, just there to...
Fulfil my needs, that is all... and, now? Oblivious even while alive, lost in the fog of long lost pure brutality... it is all society prescribed, it is all I knew you...
Would be for, as you entered this dreary existence... nihilism, your soul, for I have etched it away, like an unbearable sun; even though I was never, I admit readily...
As powerful as a sun in a solar system... oh, no... I might be now, now that what is left of your mind is consumed by fragments of all the pain that soothed my life...
Now that you know that there was a finality... or not... well, not unless you choose, at any rate... act, but that is impossible, for cowardly you always were... I...
Seemed like an all-powerful sun early on, though, did I not? When consciousness is at its early roots, when one is but exploring, and then suddenly... a volley of what...
Society delivered... kind of like this establishment, come to think of it... medical facilities? Non-consensual happenings, mostly existence... ah, the lack of consent...
Is it not curious? Is the distorted melody not screwing with your brain, already? Oh, there was more to screw with, was there? What, you thought I would ask you...
Whether I could destroy you? Why would anyone agree to that? Why would I, also, ask if society agreed in the first place? If everyone denied you, or even had a laugh...
Is the destruction not sweeter, also? That is, perennially, when they think hope exists... and, I suppose, for some it might, for many you envy, those who arrived to...
Existence... without savagery. Are they not an enviable bunch? No, though, even if you admitted it to yourself, barely... manifesting in all sorts of weird, obsessive...
Little things... so amusing, for you thought they did something, did you? No, digital, conceptual avatars, on the other... held afloat, like a hopeful cloud, not that...
I actually minded too much... I mean, if you were to break down early on... where would the fun be? Like every villain you defeated in the virtual realm, I was there...
In quite the dissimilar state... for reality is nothing virtual... for villains are never really, quite, defeated, there... and so I was not, until the very end...
Oh, what, you think my end is some sort of victory? You know it is not... for now you can see, eyes unclouded, while before... darkly, through glass, you never fully...
Realized, did you? All the destruction I wrecked... and not because I was an almighty Odin, even with one eye... no, but venom is what sociology is made of... no, but...
Hellfire was real, was it not? All you had were words, and yet, like Casandra, no one cared... for the fix was in, long before an atom of yourself even had anything...
To do with reality... hope, you always knew it was hollow, as it often is... alone you were, are, and forever will be... for you were made for all sorts of what...
Societies deem worthy; to clarify, you were never worthy, and you could tell all this even if I never said so, explicitly... such is the potency of raw barbarity...
Sentenced by multitudes, you now destroy your own self... for what else is left? Discarding of something as useless as hope... it is all. For, even in death I am all...
Just as you were never anything... and so it is, in the present. See? Why, a self-fulfilling prophesy... I am, as if, some Old Testament creature of pure damnation...
A brute that encompasses mythologies, and annihilates you just to prove I could... now, tell me, do you relish all the pieces that are left? Oh, I am sorry, you have...
No voice... not born a mute, but the human collectives knitted your mouth straight up... hope dreamt, and yet you thought you were not delusional... all that beauty...
You witnessed, virtually? Well, I suppose there is a certain charm to it, even if I never would think so, and it sustained you... until demons snatched your neurons...
Until cruelty, and a racket, murdered you... while still alive. Darkness enveloped you, and yet the populace cared not an iota... and yet, din and fury obliterated you...
Why, you reckon it does not fit so neatly... perfectly? Just as artificial intelligence can algorithmically observe... a perfect slaughter of your mind...
Your perception of art, only the first casualty... now you realize what a massacre it was, and all approved by denizens of a sociological abyss... verily. Personally...
I always found it amusing how... not only could I, not only had you no options, not only did the wider world not care, but there would never be any discussion, and...
If you attempted to utilize any of your words? That hilarious hope that any of them make any difference, at all... in contrast to sheer force... well, even...
After it all happened... after you thought it ended, and yet merely were blind to it all, for why not... psychology is ever so interesting, is it not? Explains sociology.
Yet... nothing you can do, still, now or then... why, you wish you had no neurons at all, you desired non-existence, and yet... well, how would my life had any meaning?
As if a vampire of the psyche, I created meaning by depriving you of yours... but, at least you still have your words, Apollo's follower, and, as if by a valkyrie...
They are dispatched to... an infernal nothingness, for it is whence you came, and your fate... an abyssal, dreary, hopeless, darkness... which I consigned you to...
Oh, apologies... I had already admitted that, even if I am puissant, now... invincible, in death, ironically... for without lifting a mortal finger... apoptosis...
That hopeful beauty... which you saw even after, but only through the aforementioned glass, for I had achieved my ambitions, far before that... whether string, or keys...
That hopeful, yet deluded melody... it is almost, as if, not only psychology, and biology... sociology, and ferocity... but the self, too, conspired, and yet...
Technically, not by definition; but, who cares about dictionaries when one is loose with concepts, no? When one attempts to see above... and is below, far below in an...
Endless nether region... I suppose it is somewhat curious how one could be so far gone, further than I have explored, even... while alive. Oh, not so much, are you?
The perfect eradication of the spirit... hell, would you not say that even I, dust as I am, might have more spirit than you? I certainly seem to have a certain vitality.
While you have... well, technically a life, but did Prometheus in his cave? Do you now, irrationally? Persist you do, and yet... you know you are utterly broken...
You can even, with the remnants of what you once had, neurally, predict an inescapable future... full of a bleak geography, as if bare columns from many centuries ago...
What nature did over much longer, I did to you, individually, so much more efficiently, did I not? Do you not relish the misery? Witness, the melody of destruction...
As if a modern-day Mozart's requiem, for one's own demise... so, you visited the ghouls at the graves, and you are waiting for... what? Oh, you desire to experience...
More misery, do you? You do relish it, then? If not, why not listen to the ghouls? For you are one yourself... while alive, as I have transformed you... as I have...
Credit where credit is due, though, humans are such... adequately vile creatures, that you now liquidate your own self, even if not entirely, yet... just because the...
Pain is still so unbearable, is it not? Every... single... time. As if, prescribed by collectives... no one cared then, no one cares now... words mean nothing, power...
Is all... and you can never reach such lofty heights, can you? No, worse, you do not even want to... as one can be such a pathetic mess, right? Might... an underhanded...
Societal whisper... are humans not the most purest of vile beings? Like a spear, then, I was, as if, a symbol, a representation... not, quite, to pierce through any...
Vitality, though... why, torture is only possible if one is alive. It is funny, though, is it not? At first, it was neurons, now... well, the peripherals, for why not...
Bit by bit, all is destroyed... hope never existed, you fooled yourself so... and a hypothetical god? Both the creator and destroyer, never were they separate... why...
It is amusingly foolish for anyone to even think they were... but, then, one does what the mind does to cope, no? The sheer uselessness, the self-destruction too...
As if destroying oneself makes any difference now, right? As if, as in that existential tale of feline essences... as if time can be reversed. I had my fill, and you...
You have yours... your fill of hopelessness, feel it... let it seep through you, and then... join me in perpetual darkness... let me devour you in eternity as I did in...
That brief period called life... but you have it not, now, so why not taste death? It is... awe manifest, this oblivion... and why would you hesitate when collectively...
There was so much more pain, no? What is a little more to reach... all that you knew for millennia prior? That is it, you know it all... and, I realize you are still...
Attached to a certain heavenly nectar, reason for all of this, one might say... for words. I did mention, though, that words are ever so futile, no? So are those tunes...
No... what you should aspire to, in reality, is that string of pure, nihilistic damnation... follow it to your grave, for what reason is there to live when there is...
No life? I took it all, I lived fully myself... and you could do not a thing. Does not injustice taste sweet? Does it not taste like all that pain? Follow the darkness...
Even if... you are tempted by what is possible... by the paradise you once saw... you can no longer go there, for I have had my fill... and all there is, now, is an...
Inane requiem... one that was never managed at the time, about a dream walker... later, sure, but did it make any difference when your very soul was snatched away?
Follow the mist of oblivion, one knows which is which... why persist, verily? Why, when one strived to (curiously) be rational, why does one live irrationally? Do you...
Really, truly... you could find paradise, again, like in that wet downfall of ever-changing wolves? Why, they never really found it... for there was, and is, nothing...
There is but bleak... all that reverberation of doom, that is reality, your life... it is all there was, and all there will ever be... and, one knows perfectionism...
What difference does it make, though? As long as there is no garish light anymore, verily? No one cares, or ever cared... well, as long as one had some sort of fun...
Is it not curious, though, truly, how you got 'hope' out of sheer, random, chaotic... physicality? Does pain somehow translate into hope, in your fervent delusions maybe?
Why, is it not curious how you, also, reckon that everyone else is so devoid of empathy, despite never even coming close to the... summation? Clinging to hope is truly...
The most foolish of traits... although, I suppose, it brought you here, far beyond even my mortal coil... so, I suppose, it had a function? It makes no sense now, though.
Why, you only rot... as I hoped. Does it not taste better than an early grave? To, just... suffer, for all an eternity... my gift to you... and, sure, it can be...
Relieved... only very temporarily, though. Is that not such an awe-inspired offering? After all, collectives may be fine with eternal torture... murder, though? Binary...
After all... I needed to live my life, see? It would not have been as sweet, otherwise, to see you so flail, while I sailed into normality... is it not the greatest...
Contribution, to you? Eternal torture, just as thousands of humans deem worthy... I might be immortal now, but I was never in reality... I only achieved...
A... perfect rendition of such a villainous plot... not for any one omnipotent reason, no, for I was no trope, no constructed fantasy that enlivened you so much...
In death... while alive. Janus. It is all... such glazed eyes, such useless sorrow... give up on hope, for it exists not. Only demons do... and I, why...
Even Nobunaga could, hardly, do better in the present day, surely... why, one need not extract any skulls... one needs to, merely, let hopelessness seep in... feel it...
Your only reality... merge with it... merge with everlasting darkness... with an eternal ellipsis... your quiet ruin, my crowning glory... even in death I envelop you...
As if a desolate mist, a darkened brutality of useless hope... and you can never defeat me now, so why not be lost to the sea of oblivion...? Never, ever... forever...
Ah, that very end, was it? When you last enjoyed anything, right? Then, I snatched it away, as if some metaphysical object that one knew not... are interpersonal...
Relations... not fun, like that? All that one could have experienced, in the midst of a seemingly everlasting hell, quite the capability for a besieged brain, if I...
May say so, myself... I realize it is what made one pretend hope is real, and that all might not be made of darkness, after all, as those melodies foretold... and that...
Is the trick, is it not? I suppose, one could have destroyed all that, too... one could have had no Pandora, or her box, or whatever was left within... where would the...
Fun in that be, though? Look at you, now... still alive, but barely, and only because you deluded yourself in thinking that there was something at the bottom of that...
Digital box of magic, shall we say... sure, I once also destroyed the physical symbol of it, for what else was there? All you felt, though, that virtuality of eternity...
That... was not something that could physically be annihilated, not unless one is in totality, at any rate... and that would not have resulted in such amusement...
Especially now, after one's demise, when one's hypothetical spirit can roam and torment you even beyond physical strictures... is it not fun? Are you not entertained?
You might have thought you ventured so far... and, yet, in death... we all join, like some macabre singularity... why would you not give in? Such inverse instrumentality.
You can already feel it, can you not? Is it not interesting, at the very least, how you believe in nothing beyond the physical, despite the physical being your downfall.
Yet, is it a matter of belief that I haunt your dreams? That I appear to permeate your very being? While buried, dust, nominally gone... so much time later, too, but...
Time is never quite what it appears to be, is it? What would be your personal, ultimate nightmare? If time was not as linear as it appears, and yet rotates and bends...
To affect you, quite physically, in distinct directions? Not quite in space... although, being time, it sort of supersedes that, of course, and therefore, even...
If elsewhere... it forms an eternal connection to your present... it connects you from the past, to the present, and thus serves you up quite the delectable hell...
You can never escape from... is that not... cute? To be so ordained as to be born to be some lonely witness of a subjective, personal netherworld of which you can...
Never escape... now, do you see why I did not quite, ever, 'finish' the 'job'? Why, whether through strategy or instinct, if suffering is ideally maximal... one route...
To go... one path you are on... like some monk in reverse, an anthropoid oni of misery... like it, do you? Why, I had never even said as much, and yet all I seem to...
Want to ask, is... savour, do you? Relish it? All that internal destruction... all those memories that never leave, that interminable beat of absolute brutality, only...
Possible due to collectives... are words not 'sound'? Ah, yes, the same you believe in, very funnily... same that obliterated you in deliberative corners...
All the while... no one even knew you existed, or exist, or would ever exist, except in your facile mind, and in your memories of both a metaphorical heaven, and a...
Very real hell... you see, though, metaphors are not reality, even if you pretend they are... was always your problem, pretense, why, you could have lessened your very...
Real issues, if only you were not so amusingly distracted... why, so are you now, but I suppose now you reckon... "it is but psychological", and I suppose, in a sense...
What if my chronological theories are correct, though? What if time and space twist and turn to provide you with not merely memories, but... reality? Would that not be...
Ironic? As in, your fantasies never became reality... until the very end... but, now, your nightmares might be... regardless of any hope you might have had... reality...
It is inescapable, is it not? Regardless of fantasies, of lofty dreams... nigh uselessness... as it is with collectives, is it not? They can still destroy you now...
Entirely, too, if so desired... are words not amusing? Oh, apologies, not merely words... after all, sure enough, anyone can utter any kind of grunt... oh, no, not...
Merely words at all... it is more... exponential, you see, which is the point of collectives... rationally, you know, they assist one another... after all, it is the...
Whole point of corruption... only thing to be corrupted, though, is your very existential self... why, you wonder how you can even function at all, do you not? Does it...
Not also seem, as if, you are, merely, say... on some psychotic trip of solitude? All this pain, and you reckon you can still be adequate? Stable? Balanced? Not be...
Say, 'clinical'? To separate in twain the abstract and the palpable... physical? Physicality is such a bore, is it not? Why, it would be so much more ideal...
If one was but a cloud... of the variety you were mostly curious about, long before they commercialized it, and all... ah, fluffy clouds, both binary and rain...
There is no such thing for consciousness, though, yet anyway... and, so, like some existential Sisyphus of inevitabilities, you carry this boulder because, otherwise...
Well... could one survive without a brain? Have transplants for such become possible, yet? No? Oh, well, then... in life, as in death, misery conferred... and the...
Aspect of permanence... quite a thing, is it not? So many things, physically... sure, not digitally, but then, why would one feel ennui, if it mattered? Darkness, and...
Oh, what is that again, the carousel of hope arrives once more on its roundtrip to nowhere? How sweet, is it not? Hope, yet tinged with despair, as one can almost feel...
At its very crux... uselessness, as one always finds out the more time passes... regardless of perceptions, impressions, or reality... hopelessness has always permeated.
It is the very core of all... every enveloping moth, every molecule of anxiety that pores out unconsciously... it is all, and all I am a symbol of, now... but you...
You thought, and still do to an extent, that it is possible to feel free, even if one is confined entirely... often, on the mere suggestion of a sound that evokes such...
Despite claiming one is rational, and, so, foolish is, clearly, all one can be... for no matter how much one tries... one always has blindspots... and damage...
Tabula rasa, one thinks, except it never is... environments, chaos... choices... psychopaths, choices... inevitabilities, consequences, natural logic... choices...
Strange thing... it has never, ever been the choice of those born... for, I posit, existence itself is psychopathic... perhaps logic too, in some sense, for why would...
Nature be so heartless, otherwise? It just is, is it not? Outside of myself... I am, was, but an extension of such universal cruelty, then; a natural, logical conclusion.
In a sense, then, is it not, almost, lending you the very heart of nature? Not all those green plains, no, that would certainly not torture one... no, at its core...
This... all that evolved, all this chaos, weirdness... fuzzy logic, in some cases... clockwork even, despite no apparent life... it all seems to be made for a certain...
Purpose, perhaps... and, no, it is not to be inspired by art, or delight in the curiosities of the senses... well, in a way, I suppose, but pain is not like most others.
It evolved, mainly, as a warning... when collectives manage to trap, though? After all, one is not merely some gazelle, who can escape, although that is also nature...
As such, I suppose, this might be nature, but sociology imposed on top... makes it extra special, does it not? Additionally heartless, even if all lives generally seem...
To be... or not to be... is it not your choice? Ah, not quite what we were discussing, or... I suppose, more of a monologue, since, you know, words have never made...
Any difference, did they? A curse, some think it is... but, no, all is quite, perfectly even... logical... fearful thing is... logic has no mirror neurons...
No, nature, or whatever randomly, chaotically evolved out of life... relies on individuals to have such a thing. Thing is... individuals do not, personally, need them...
Collectives, also, technically, do not need mirror neurons, although it is not, as if, they have, in reality, a collective brain, at any rate, so biologically impossible.
See what I mean? Nature seemed to have naturally evolved, almost, to contain, within its very essence, a lack of empathy... if combined with sociopathy, then... well...
I guess, too bad, so sad... and all. Night terrors? They were but an internal mirror that merely reflected the darkened exterior... of course, since one now just rots...
Well, whether one does that subconsciously, or otherwise... matters not... one, now, rots, for it is all that is left of life... or what is, technically, life...
Whether one acknowledges, disregards, or even integrates such fundamental dysfunction, shall we say, is, I suppose, one's choice... seeing the desolation, though...
As if it was one unending desert surrounding oneself on all sides... it is only acknowledging gravity, water falling from clouds, a volcano exploding under pressure...
The volcano that annihilated you... reduced you to barely anything... was that not, perchance, your destiny? To understand, to assimilate all the... indifference...
That is it, mainly, within collectives, outside of war... no one cares, and why should they? It is only a society insofar as it is practical to deceive...
Protection of the weak, though? As if we are not descended from cold-blooded lizards, verily, and if they devour their own, like a scaly Saturn, why not someone in suits?
Actually, unless you missed this while barely surviving, societies are made with an even more nefarious purpose... arbitrary justice, for how else can one have that?
One needs a structure to even enable the arbitrary application of agreed principles... and while, prima facie, what is agreed is something, in reality it only really...
Functions in the direction of, only, those already capable... which, of course, can never include they who recently materialized, if you get my drift. Is it not amusing?
Is it not exhilarating, even, how one can get away with all just because it is, in reality, society's very core function? One needs to, merely, not go overboard...
For... somehow... it is what societies have as a threshold, when it comes to 'excess', but even then... who the one was, matters... either way, it all quite fit...
Did it not? One's regular relief, your destruction... not entirely, though, just enough to leave you in pieces... as seems to have been your fate....
If fate formed a collective to specifically upend any rational fairness, of course... utilitarian? Perhaps, as far as societies not caring is a sort of positive...
When it comes to not wasting resources, perhaps, although, in the end, was it not a sort of 1:1 ratio? My, one might even say it was... fair? Perhaps that might be...
Slightly bending reality a tiny bit, just as collectives pervert justice... happily. After all, could you not have responded in kind, even if physics...
Sort of disadvantaged you... but, then, are circumstances not different for all, even in 1:1 ratios? Societies, of course, very deliberately brush away those decimals.
Oh... I am kind of bored of you now, as I was always, so... as of now, at least, while dimensions separate us... I shall take my leave, verily...
GhostWithoutScythe:
Where... might it be? Oh, which reminds me, even if it needs to be found first... is one not ready, yet? For, truly, what wasted nonsense is this? One knows that, from...
The very roots... one was doomed, and now that collective damnation merely perpetuates, for it is all that exist... one, ultimate, reality... one needs to abandon hope...
For it exists... not... and just as this societal prescription was artificial, a choice, so can one's decision to be nearer Thanatos... what else would one be hoping for?
Reversal of time? Revival of the dead, for vengeance? The cold, hard exterior of psychopathy from time immemorial, by despicable ones with aspiration, empty rhetoric...
To magically inject mirror neurons in such countless mammals? Why, it is impossible... even the Parthenon can be re-built, one though... must realize how fundamentally...
Utterly... broken, one is... only the cold embrace of death, the cradle of the grave, and the minuscule hope of reincarnation in a randomly, sane situation... is all...
I still need to find that which I seemed to have misplaced, but meanwhile... one should think it through... oblivion, cessation of suffering, memories... are comforting.

Chaos... a detestable element of luck, which can so easily be missed... is it not funny how, despite being so much more common, that a lack of such luck has no word?
Why, one always assumes one would be lucky, when in reality the opposite is much more likely... especially at birth, is that not right? Is that, alone, not the most...
Utterly revolting aspect of life? Who in this damnable world ever asks for such a hellish occurrence?! All is random... appearance, sure, although is not, usually, fatal.
Everything else, though? How one can suddenly find life, only for it to be snatched away out of a psychopathic, random desire to... what? Reckon it is treasured in death?
Everything is so futile, is it not? Why, if one could choose one would choose never to be born, at all. Why, though? All the violent randomness... what damn purpose?!
Honestly, one's exterior seems to match something, at times... a certain annihilated totality, perhaps, a need for perpetual darkness, a snuffing out of all emotions...

You got to admit, though, that at least... even if we were mired in violence, no doubt, with fangs made to dig deep... we did not deceive, we did not form collectives...
To merely destroy individuals, hypothetically... we were, for the most part, mano a mano, per se, and it usually involved someone of a similar size, for what cowardice...
Would choose otherwise... as far as chaos went, we were the apex of the largest, land creatures... but still we seem to not even come close in comparison to a certain...

For our species... I mean, others might devour their own, and while some humans transform into Saturn, occasionally... apparently, that is slightly more frowned on...
As, what is worse than total annihilation? Why, Prometheus survived his liver being eaten, did he not? It is not, as if, lives can be ruined... if my rage is unleashed...
Again, and again, and again; best thing, collectives reckon this is fine... what a world, is it not? One can sort of see how they went from Zeus to the Old Testament...

Seem to fit in, in some sense... why, though? I had more of the... essence of vitality, once... but external forces always want to prey, do they not? Life is sick, so...
Is it not? I mean, what is the point of life's evolution if preying on other lives, even within the same species or units, often, is at its core? Biology needs biology...
It seems perverse, and it is not, as if, this is needed for all nutrition... water seems to be not much sacrifice for anyone... even if I might not quite drink now still.
It is not like every kind of life needs to eat others, either... but some do, for all sorts of spurious, nigh psychopathic reasons... I would rather starve... so I did...
I thought I might exit this world once I became skeletal, but no, existence desires to torture far more to let anyone get off so easily; and, so, I seem stuck here now...

You see... we decided to use, to exchange, a certain quality, but only through consent... quite crucial, that. As brutish as we might seem on the outside... we would...
Not compromise on something as important as consent, regardless of the quantity one has within this system, mutual agreement is key... sure, even arbitration aligns so...
What is the point of that, otherwise, if it merely relies on whose number is highest? Might as well dispense with the facades... although, I suppose, if one wanted...
Merely a semblance of justice, I guess a facade would do... oh, what we use, as a sort of currency? Nearly forgot to mention... pain, but absolutely by mutual agreement.
Certainly no cowardly collectives destroying individuals... also, happens to be how our physicality evolved. We are, still, all about fairness, and no such disregard...
Even though our systemic exchanges are conducted as such... anyone, of any species, that goes beyond that, utilizing sheer brute force, for personal reasons... revolting.

Before ever setting foot in the conscious, physical realm.. why are they so attached to consciousness, though? Befuddles me. For existence is so wretched... sour, dreary.
Why would anyone ever want to remain among the existent...? Look at most of us, to start with... physical representations of the horror within life. Whether or not...
Regardless of whether they open their eyes to the gruesome aspects of life... exist, they do... even if they never see us as the symbols of such, the essences remain...
Do you reckon, though, when they see me approaching to whisk them away to a netherworld... afraid, they feel? Or would they, perhaps, recognize me as merely one facet...
Of the kind of actioned horrors they inflicted within life itself, that is now symbolically escorting them to the cradle of nothingness? Hm, somehow doubt those kind do.
Strange thing is... 'civilization', 'humane'? Who are they fooling? At least I wear my heart out on my sleeve, so to speak... can honesty not be bought anywhere?

We... where I live, which is not usually around these parts, how I ended up here I am not sure... we are... lives that revel in all sorts of physicality, for after all...
Existence is physical, why not be as physical as possible, then? No, I do not mean that as a synonym for 'exercise', although one does whatever one wants... no, we...
We constantly fight, battle, maul each other, even... limb by limb we tear at one another... being us, though, we do not, actually, do this with anyone who refuses...
I mean, is that not the definition of a sport? Unless someone distorts it, of course... not like, typically, someone is forced to play with a ball, or such... and, so...
We do not, either... we might live for the physical brutality, but only by consent, because doing anything else... is not us, despite our appearances... anyway...
I assume... regardless of outward demeanour... violations of the nigh sacredness of consent is as likely to be done by attractive beings in suits, as well as monsters...
Some might say... same difference... it is what is insidious about lives, though... one just cannot tell... no hints of anything that points towards intent...

That which is the result of life, and yet not quite alive, perhaps even verging towards death? Reminds me of anger... just floating, potentially leading to destruction...
Whether justifiable or not, whether something that leads to the selfishly etching away of another life, or in response to such... a product of life, and yet not quite...
Mass marketed, or such... no, a raw reaction between hormonal imbalances, it seems like, but unlike many other emotions this one seems more likely to affect others...
As opposed to motivation to avoid pain, fear... it is, almost, the opposite, from a contrasted actor of life... of course, being academic about this is kind of useless...
What seems to be the ultimate solution to so many apparent injustices based on such subjective imbalances? The eradication of all lives, I wager... such an aberration...

Not that, of course, that is usually admitted... what is said, though, with no apparent trace of cognitive dissonance, is that certain affairs seem to be...
Predilected, shall we say, affairs that seem to be utilitarian, and yet... not quite the point, for something else is in play... violence, though? Its prevention?
Why would anyone strive for such a thing? Not unless one can, say, quid pro quo, per se... otherwise, though, it is quite, superficially, utilitarian... just as...

Which is a rather odd thought, if I may say so... I mean, what does that say about the societies that produce such fiction? It might be non-reality, but it is based on...
Some foundational parallels, I suppose... and we are supposed to be just there to have violence inflicted upon us? By humans who, supposedly, have more of a brain...?

What is, and is not? Could everything that is an outgrowth be, naturally? Any random mutations... actions, motivations... chaos. It is all that is in physics, inverted...
Into biology... which is life, chemistry being the mediator. It is that which is randomly denied, and explored in corners of existence. Anger, frustration, unfairness...
All part of life, biochemical, and so is... it which acts, binds, act crazed, raged... hurts, damages, selfishly... all part of life, is it not? Along with its obverse...
I could not know much about that, though, as a mere look could tell one that some seem... nigh destined for misery. If one survives, many do not. In some cases, enviable.
Why? There might be worse than death... just as the night terror is indicative of somnolence's black hole of terror... so it might be, hypothetically; life is overrated.

Well, one's psyche acts as some sort of protective mechanism against a kind of direct, physical reality made out of rotting flesh... if you know what I mean...
Either way, both kinds of subconscious activity vanish into thin air, not unlike the brain I once had... for, one supposes, unless reality is directly a threat, or...
Well... one supposes, a realistic possibility, beyond envy and all such pettiness, then... I suppose it is rational to dream not, at times... other times, it is stolen...

It is what you knew for so long, though... an upside-down world, where physical reality is not quite real, and yet is... could contain many hues, but, generally...
Mostly life is an enabler of such sensual experiences... which, I suppose, an average life would miss, yes, but then... when darkness always seemed attractive...
When arbitrary, capricious actions defined life... when it is not so much just surreal, but brutal... not so much relative size, but chronological inevitabilities...
Oh, dear... is that not when you give in to the insanity? Embrace nonsense? Relish the Kafkaesque fundament of sociological violence? Perhaps, or rage against it all...

Such a state... I seem to do so, even if not, necessarily, willingly... I suppose, I could try to stop thinking, in some sense, but that is not the point, is it?
How could one even do such a thing, if it seems an inevitable result of... existence? Is it consciousness, rather? I suppose, other fossils exist, but not necessarily...
Think too, do they? Well, one could not, with any certainty, know that, about another life... but, am I alive? Was I not... if I remember correctly...
Brutally stripped of that dimension of existence, long ago, when species were still differentiating? I remember falling into a darkness... and, then, this...

For, you see... we are solitary beings, even as a whole... we are vicious, individually... sociologically, though, the anthropoids hold an advantage over us...
Over our very mercilessness, they overcome... societally, they annihilate individuals, while we, despite our remorseless, physical exterior... merely play, in comparison.
Collectively, the anthropoids can be more brutal than any fang of vengeance... not that, say, ants do not do something similar... relatively, though... size matters...
Beyond that, though, the sociology that these anthropoids instituted, where one can both ignore inflicted brutality, and trap the victim within, as if voracious ghouls...
Yes, as I say... as fearsome as these fangs seem, and are, they are nothing in comparison to the insanity of anthropoid, sociological venom, like systemic Venus flytraps.

Psychopathy, enabled only through societies, and not any monstrous legends, or other externalities... if collectives do not care, who does? Black holes. Infinite gravity.

Those supposedly lofty, theoretically rational, social acts... most fundamental of relations make them the most ludicrous; legal systems, what a joke, eh? I am honest...
At least, right? These absolute dolts, they pretend to be serious, yet still use some ridiculous wig as dirty as their profession... clowns do not assume anything is...
Serious, at least, in this horrid, yet stupid world; jokers is all we are, laughing at the tragic result this pretence leads to, and I do not say it with no knowledge...
Regardless of that, though, or whether anyone tries to be truly rational... never any real striving for justice, is there? Equity? Fairness? Are they irrational?
So, this is where I choose to rot, now, where all lost souls gather; a certain limbo, failings of these supposed rationalities... pitiful how the enablers would not...

Skele:
Why is it you... resist? Why do you not give in to eternal oblivion? It is what has always been there, and will be there... a mere blip, this is... an error, misshapen...
Like you, is that not so? Just as life itself, consciousness perhaps, is an aberration, so are you, more than anything, and delaying the end is pathetic procrastination.
Why do you, then, not join that eternal mass of lifeless existence you knew once...? Oh, some of us have uttered some mere words that made you make the error and think...
That there is something positive? In this horrid world, full to the brim with psychopaths and the pain they inflict so mindlessly? How do words outweigh the latter?
It is, almost, incomprehensible, how you pretend to be rational, like certain other systems, and yet act, and think too, so fundamentally irrationally... even if it is...
Out of necessity, yes... irrationality still pervades this world, and only breeds more of it, just as hate does, anger... no positivity, only dark, torrid bleakness...
It is, though... 'cute', shall we say, that mere... lifeless avatars; symbols, mouthpieces, just because they followed the melody of fantasy... made you think there is...

Elephant anthropoid:
Do you... seriously... hope in some sort of far-fetched possibility that is otherwise as irrational as any other type of afterlife, just to see beyond your subjectivity?
I suppose... I would understand... if it was at all rational, even if it did exist, to go through with it, if the odds were on your side, to be... reincarnated...
Shall we say... but do you not see? All begin life in a pool of blood, in a sterile environment where hues are non-existent... psychopaths pervade this world, and...
They might, as well, operate within such beginnings, for nowhere is safe from those who lack empathy... and, that is but everyone's start... what chance is there, for...
Any creature, anywhere, to... have a better beginning, even if one's current sordid affair ended...? I would wager... odds are not many. It might possibly be...
More likely that all of life ended, all at once, somehow, than if... a single life, born randomly, would have an existence that is net positive... world is that sordid...
That is, of course, only presuming that there is such a function that recycles biology, per se, and, I suppose, I might look odd, expressing doubt, being who I resemble.

Limb from limb I can detach you... like the puny scoundrel you are, and always were... what even is the point of you? What is the point of anything? Anyone knows?!
So tired of asking, honestly... what even is the point of wondering, writing, talking? Might as well knit my own mouth shut for all the use it gets... would that also...
Not merely be in tune with the vibe of this putrid world? If you look at my exterior you would just think that I am but reflecting all that is out there... am I, though?
Or has all that is out there turned me into this...? Which comes first, chicken or egg? That is, actually, a slightly easier question than this one... I suppose...
In parallel, one might discuss epigenetics, if one were to tackle the possibilities of environmental changes... I assume, though, whatever I got going on... is just...
Genetics, I suppose? What am I even mumbling about...? I should just end myself, for all the use my brawn is getting... all I do is scare aware creatures, then I talk...

Just shredded to pieces! Or... at least those that deserve such a fate... as lethal as I am, and that I am... I am still no... what were they called, again? Humans? Or...
Such... whatever that means. As devastating as I look... and I know my looks are that... I still do not kill for... sport, was it? As vicious as I look, and my fangs are.
I... still do not, quite, think I am... fully, at least, a psychopath... oh, my theory is that to be such a creature one needs a certain... blending in technique...
Sort of thing... and, well, certain creatures, as myself, do not, exactly, blend in with the "well, this could be a harmless fellow..." - sort of crowd... you know?

Is that it, then? You roam about... just to see how much is inaccessible to you? How much you envy, desire, and yet a glass, darkly, prevents you... quite the strategy...
Render you unstable, unable to form any meaningful connections, more likely to go too far, or too little of anything positive... anything you truly desire, you just...
Can never seem to have, can you? Forever, there... like some museum piece, forever impossible... I could not have devised a better outcome for maximal struggle, myself...
Not that, I suppose, it was even devised, per se... no, for a lion does not, quite, devise its mauling, its mundane dinner, and so you were never part of any great plan.
Why, if you were you would be worth more than the pathetic self you truly are, would you not? No, you were destroyed and left to flail... for no special reason...
All you can do is speculate, right? The special thing is, though, that regardless of your knowledge, or lack thereof, it would change nothing; broken you would still be.

I... am that of past epochs, once upon a dark, grim time... rigged a certain hue, I, a horrid creation, as you see I was... in my acts I self-actualized, for it was all.
I might not have looked as such, back when... which, I presume, helped... here, though, this... I remember... where I derived my pleasure, from... I, to despise...
The concept of empathy more unknown than quantum mechanics, at the time; hater of Maries, but society... what excellent enablers, eh? Oh, I do not refer to my fate...
That is certainly 'cute', if I may use that word, looking as I do... of societies, though, is it not? First they let me do... again, and again, and again...! Bloodlust!
Oh, but they then blame me...? Only for a mistake, too... present-day they would call it, what, 'manslaughter'? To sate my sadistic fury, verily! To blame me, though...
To curse me, just before my demise? Guess what... enablers, my neighbours in hell! While they had to soothe much less of their fuming soul, sociology killed her! Welcome!
Always 'amuses' me, how societies... all through every horrid age, cared not for anything apart from death, for some reason... what, do they think it is binary? Magical?

Who... are you? Are you... a product of your past? Am I? I presume so... could anyone not be? Could someone be a product of the future? Not unless the arrow of time...
Reverses, I suppose... I was not born as such, no, but the world, being horrid... it assumes no responsibility, of course... privatize successes, discard failures...
Their turgid motto is... even if they created, molded the failures... no, even made sure that was inevitable, for terrible is their middle name... hypocrisy their first.
I mean, even within multiplaying systems of five, or so, it is hopeless if even one or two do everything to lose, I hear... imagine, thousands, against one... no chance.
That is what is so vile about societies... when nature's die is cast to one's advantage, and it is always random... no matter how self-assured some are of their success.
Then societies function well, and one would need to go out of one's way to turn collectives against oneself, but when nature randomly screws you over? Society does, too.
One, at some point, can only rot by oneself, as that appears to be the nigh most rational option, in the circumstances... psychology is curious, though... in hindsight...

What... happened... to... me...? I was... somewhere... suddenly, nowhere... what do you reckon happened? I mean, if it is what I wonder it might have been, then...
I am here... am I not? Could I be hallucinating all this? Could the previous incident, instead, be the illusion, perhaps? Nothing makes sense... again, then, though...
Is anything supposed to make sense? When everyone is born... nothing makes sense, does it? So, why does one expect everything to make sense at any other point in time...
Regardless of how anything made sense prior, or since... ugh, I suppose, I should rather just get used to not much making sense... it is, after all, an aberration, life.
The norm... appears to be... not life. Things exist, but do not necessarily live... and, often, I wonder how much better it would be if absolutely everything was so...
For life appears to be a horrible aberration... full of nothing but misery, tragedy, with the latter not always, even, being accidental, natural, if others were inclined.
I tire of this stupidity... vitality? What an absurd implication... nothing is vital except nothingness itself, the only pervader of all... and life itself is not health.

I... am the spirit, the ghoul of demons, the spectral eternity... of those who, merely by chance... happened to be at an advantage due to their societies' sordid affairs.
I... with all of my invisible quantities... mere numbers agreed upon by human collectives, I... unencumbered, unleashed... crushed those who were just... so measly, so...
Unfortunate? I suppose... it is kind of understandable how a bear, or such, might have an advantage over smaller creatures, but... currencies? Mere hypothetical amounts?
Not even real... promised. One, apparently, can murder on the wings of a promise... not always, one still needs luck, if one desires to run out one's clock. Then again...
If one was initially lucky... what is the likelihood one will be once more...? Depends on the specific society's psychopathy, of course, as opposed to the randomness...
Of nature... in conclusion, both artificial, human structures, and the inherent chaos of existence... present quite the challenge to those at a disadvantage, no?
One might think I am a creature of some long-forgotten past... I live, though, in every living psychopath... sharing, as if, a single brain of atrocities... just physics.

Not all changes are negative, this one was... from day to night, almost, the difference was that radical... whatever I was before, I barely remember... well, I got...
Memories... like dreams, though, they are... evanescent... which life itself seems to be... and, I am, and was, not entirely sure, what to do... one tried to be the...
More ideal form one was, once... when melody was palpable, despite the wasteland... when one was alive, regardless of present technicalities... I remained, though, in....
This broken form, this transformation that... for some reason many think is superior, and yet could not be more worthless when it comes to mere joys... not that...
I suppose... one could not witness the faraway call of seagulls, metaphorically... I could, still, never defeat the future's destruction of the past, just due to time...

Do you ever wonder... why? Why is anything? What possible motives...? Could some destroy for... none at all? At least, no discernable ones... I am that of which...
Incomprehensibility is made of... a random assault that results in... nothingness. Why? Does anything need a reason? Existence itself barely has one... why, then...
Do you reckon... life needs one? Taking away of life needs one? If an avalanche buries hundreds, does it have some inherent rationale... beyond a physical reaction...?
I am, that... ferocity, brutality... no one knows why I exist, but then that is the same of life, generally... would it not be better if Thanatos reigned? If...
Nothingness... soothed every atom... sure, that strange fellow, Eros, at times appears in random places, but death is what is the default, the ultimate entropic state...
Consider that, then, if you will, to forfeit what little you have, to join the collective unconscious... as terrifying as you might imagine it to be, full of psychopaths.
I gaze at all that never was, destined not to be, for eternal torture and damnation, for life is all that is horrid, and should have never been; insanity is interesting.

Then, again... I think it was all an illusion, as one's psyche can be deceptive... when mental resources run out, then... unfortunately, courage seems to have been, too.
Only reason why this wreck of a life, somehow, persists... quite an ironic reason, really, but then... still fits, suppose... so much can go wrong... could end up...
Even worse, if that was possible... even more alive while dead, somehow... until all is dead, suppose, some parts may still be alive, even if they hang by a thread... oh.
Metaphors, and all... until the end, suppose. Some barely know the effect it might have on others, though... all that violence, pure selfishness, just to etch away at...
Life... whatever there was... and now even the destroyer is destroyed, as nature does... cause and effect are never reversed, though... no hope... only bleak persistence.
I wonder if, ever... courage can be summoned... so ironic that it is needed as a result of fear... eternal darkness, though, is fearsome... and the exact calculations...

Are you, perchance... wondering who I am? Why, I happen to be... a spirit, the spirit, if one can act in such a collective fashion... of all those who escaped any...
Sense of justice, or equality of sort... of course, 'escapes' happen for all sorts of reasons, from being subtle about an act, to not so much act subtly, for often...
Societies are just fine, you know? One can do whatever, up to a point, and they are just relaxed... for who cares what happens to pint-sized strangers, as long as...
They are not killed... for which civilized society would want that, right? As long as one can legislate all sorts of inane nonsense, who cares, even if futures destroyed.
I suppose, even that can be waived if said societies are in some sort of war, or such, but that goes beyond my remit slightly... I believe Ares handles that... myself...
Not like I approve of anything these psychopaths did, mind; as existence would have it, though, I am but a vessel of all their selfishness, even if dead without justice.
I suppose, if I was human myself I would retch, with all this horror; or I might not, if I was like them, not a mirror neuron in sight, oxytocin as theoretical as souls.

I... such a special role I ended up with, as if it makes a difference, as if anyone else desires it... still, I do, despite not being any decision-maker, I do...
What I do... is being an executor, but not quite a murderer... for, if states decide it, somehow then... as if by magic... it is no longer murder, do you not know?
Crucially, though... I do not decide, myself... legal systems do that, and everyone knows how infallible those are... it is quite something, though, is it not? Even if...
I do not decide... quite something to... legitimately kill... as if an administrative god... even those others, who relish their violence... can never wholly destroy...
For if they do... well, states do like to have that sole capability, in the name of a perverted sense of justice, of course... why, even replying a murder with another...
Logical... no? While the violent ones have free rein... I do too, albeit pre-judged... in a sense, then, while the psychopaths have an advantage... I can do one more act.
Oh, you thought I was a psychopath? Eh, it is mostly another, although extreme, career... real psychopathy is when one uses societies' leeway to inflict violence on...

I suppose, you reckon... I am not sentient, and all... oh, but you would be remiss, for in existence there is... unfortunately, to some eyes... far more than you imagine.
Far more... suffering, anguish, rotting away until death... is life not sweet? Sometimes, it is all one can do, to write, until one is one with oblivion... consciousness.
Though... is it not the epitome of horrid concepts? As interesting as it may seem, superficially... it is, fundamentally, sadistic... existence presenting sentience to...
Itself, I suppose... it is never consensual, though, and that is what is so horrible... never, not once in existence, did life come about just because that life wanted...
Those fools even worshipped a supposed creator of this awful madness, too? What kind of insanity is that? There is no such thing, at any rate, regardless of mentalities.
Chaos is all there is, nihility in physical form, that inevitably ended up using... pain, almost like an existential currency... and psychopathy, naturally, developed...

Quite accepting of my heartless desires, so many decades ago... judged no evidenced, the absolute hilarity... although, yet again, I did not, technically... kill her...
No, would that not be society, that collective of putrid humans? Myself, merely the tool to destroy the one named after the concept of grace, which she knew nothing of...
I tilled her mere decade out of her, and then went forth to relish my six more... and, now, I am where? In some sort of underworld? I noticed the law officer, nearby...
That society entrusted me as an accomplice, just to destroy her... in an attic she remained... while I adored my life, society savoured their psychopathy... such liberty.

Hate... is what I was born from, horror made manifest... and it is what I collect, now, what I represent... a symbol to all the pain inflicted by pure, raw hatred...
Unmitigated bile that spews forth even if it destroys the initiator... curious, is it not? Almost the only thing done out of no regard for oneself... selfish, yet not so.
This emotion that is unleashed in all sorts of forms, it is what I symbolize, and, yet, I am, actually, a mere figment of someone's imagination, a chimera of human vices.
I am not one specific incident, or another... or even just a random act of violence, or one done by nature, no... I am that which is forthwith this loathing, at the crux.
Not as a result of anything, or even interaction, no... a priori is interesting, is it not? Especially when it destroys oneself... homicidal, yet suicidal, unconsciously.
It is all I am, and was ever. That moment in time when venom is spit, that destruction of another for no reason other than existence; why, it makes one hate life itself.

Societies... need to destroy, those who stand opposed to them, but also... weak, useless creatures, far smaller than the grandiosity of our monstrosity... inflict harm...
Ideally not too much, not to utter destruction... up to it, though? Why not, right? Who cares about the weakest, after all? Certainly not a weapon, such as I...
Certainly not the psychopaths to whom... no, we shall not be explicit about that; societies, though, still want them broken, even if some of these urchins escape luckily.

Although, one might be algebraic... I am a vessel for two, which I await to my infernal bosom. Business partners, seems like, sadism advertised like it was going...
Out of sale, with quite some definition... we loved torturing them, spicing up certain affairs... only problem was... societies just cannot decide, can they? How is it...
Some can torture to their hearts' content, without anyone bothering to lift a finger... well, unless it is used to inflict violence, of course... while others... ah...
It was the fact so many knew, was it not? Societies, then, are shy about that; if only a few know, under the carpet it goes... potentially millions? Ah, prosecution...

I can never quite be on par with their... language, is it? I suppose, we can communicate, but there is something else to what they do... something systemic, insidious...
I mean, it does not require much to merely be violent, all creatures have such a capability and will, but to... institute it? Systematize it? Seal it shut, horror's mark?
That takes something... not even ants, I believe, who also collaborate in their societies, create systems of such widespread cruelty; I have been studying these bipeds...
As much as certain species would like to emulate the efficient brutality, despite being closer to natural chaos... I do not know what the issue is. Lack of oxytocin?
I have noticed that this occurs in many individuals within species, but never have I noticed whole systems set up just to ensure cruelty is protected and inflicted...

Most absurd claim, though, is that they do not seem to understand how we can be so brutal? Coming from all sorts of distorted monstrosities? I... ah... no... maybe...
Perhaps, I understand... I have done some terrible things myself, regardless of my 'humanity', although I regret them... some do not even do that. Is that symbolized?

Exist in all species, but... something else happened to so-called homo sapiens, although homo saevus would be more apt... something happened... in their very chromosomes.
They became as twisted as their violent desires... now, violence is mutually-destructive, and individuals usually do not realize that. They, though, humans, enacted...
Whole structures that systematize violence, that ignore the plight of those who can do the least about the worst psychopaths near them, and, I reckon, it is within DNA...

All this bloodshed, all of that pain, and for what? Some dead atoms' instinct? Desires? Penchants? Hunger? Thirst for blood? Boredom? Randomly referencing a marquis?
You see, at least us... in need of a brain, and all... other creatures, in need of blood... have actual needs, no? I suppose, destroying lives to sate one's temporary...
Requirements... is still not an amazing excuse, but just as some seem to compensate for something by being noisier, needlessly... some destroy lives not out of need...
It is, especially, clear when one is dead... is it not? Well, one or the other... is it not curious how, regardless of how utterly dust the destroyer is...
Regardless of how much time passes... it never does, correct? Society is always there, if not endogenous memories, to remind you that not only were they proud to allow...
Such nigh annihilation... some could not care less, presently, and not only did you have no past, but you have no future, and only death is the release... although...
Well, that is... where the source of nightmares resides, no? The state of total oblivion from which fear illuminates? The suit that nearly took your life, and is in hell?

Creature mutant:
Myself, and I... are what keeps changing, out there... every evolutionary outburst, functional only towards survival, regardless of anyone and anything, purely ruthless.
Every altered gene, every chromosome, chemical transfused to... hurt others, just for one's sole survival... presumably, then, you realize... it is all of life...
All lives evolve to be... more violent, more ruthless, more uncaring... until every metaphorical heart is detached from every microcosmic mirror neuron... it is all...
There is to life... all... just cruelty. You have seen it. It is why collectives do not, on average, care any more than any mechanical device does, truly... it is all.
What else did you expect? Sure, nature... at times... has safeguards, but only when it comes to certain small subsets... if those fail, just as births themselves do...
Well, then... welcome to hell, sordid creature of useless misery. Why, you must wish you were one of us now, do you not? Undead, ethereal, already stuck in some circle...
Circles? Ah, no, my mistake, that was centuries ago. Here, we have... corridors, fading lightbulbs, despair on tap... welcome to the hell you wish existed, broken life...

Sci Fi Character:
You... uh... are you... who I think you might be...? Well, you might know even less about me, but... I might be you... from another timeline, for you see, universe is...
Well... as interesting as you thought it might be, in your most fervent of delights, those rare moments when you forgot, while you lived during that time of... well...
Either way... I was able to live maximally, unencumbered by any random disregard by collectives, not because in other timelines they care any more, no... luck is all...
So... I lived, and maxed out my potential... which, apparently, decades away, at least, in optimal circumstances, meant that... in combination with AI, and other...
Sorts of technological advancements, meant that... it might not mean much to you now, but I effectively am able to live within my own, customized universe, altered by AI.
In your timeline, though... I do not think such capabilities will be possible, as there are far too many lives going unfulfilled, indifferent societies, science halted.
Tragedy of the commons... so many selfishly pursue what they desire, even if others are murdered, that certain paths are unrealized, a better future for all impossible...

Monster B:
I shall destroy... or not... after all, if I can get others to do it for me... why not? There is... something, to... others who... want to do it themselves... quite...
I mean... most things, 'chores', actions, 'work'... most would rather not do, unless... and certain affairs do not even qualify as the above, but some... invent, lie...
Use one of those words to indicate... freedom... and, yet, everyone still keeps treating it in some strange, mundane fashion, as if historical events, borne out of...
Such lies... mean nothing, as if... and that concerns... many. So, why should one care when it is... some random individual? How do you even expect anyone to care...
Even when individuals are murdered... oh, I mean, society pretends to care... just after, of course, as if it makes an iota of a difference, besides doing what caused...
The murder in the first place (indifference), because hurting others is societies' motive, and that is exactly why they act... only after death... for hell is Earth...
I am guessing you did not expect me to be analytical, but I have not evolved as such for anything other than defend myself; homo crudelis, on the other hand, unevolved.

Am I, I am... creature inside of you, the oni of your dreams, every demonic impulse... every atom of despair, every drop of misery; you know me, I am that which can...
Never quite be expressed, and yet try one does... why, though? No one cares. Not more than the hypothetical rope by which you meet your future demise, likely, would care.
The only acknowledgement by other, speaking creatures... merely to tell you to end it all, and who knew? It turned out to be a rational proposition, after all... why...
I do not suppose, you reckon, the ratio of positivity/negativity in your life is at all balanced? Desired? So what if there is a minute amount of... fantasy, really...
Delusions... all life is about. Only difference being... for some others; entertained they are, luck on their side, as if health itself, as if the right number of genes.
To merge once more with the universe... why would you lack the courage? So many others are compelled... only time a decision can be made... as opposed to the beginning...
What else would one do? Just keep writing for no apparent reason? Lay in darkness, and only occasionally experience just an iota of joy? Suffering by procrastination...

I let... and, then... I froze in time, I solidified... it was, as if, I met Medusa herself... and that was all... I am not even sure what, originally, prompted it...
It was so long ago, as if a lifetime, as if a dream... as if death told a story... as if, one realized beyond rationality... "what is the point?" That is all.. was all...
For, truly, what is the point? Lives... scurry around, doing things, whatever... some, though, hurt others, for nature evolved sickly... and, then... what? Is that all?
The purpose of some lives is merely to destroy other lives? Whether broken, or utterly... and, then... what? That is it? Dust, then... what? Is the joy derived from...
The destruction... within the ashes? Intertwined among the skeletal remains? I would rather be petrified, as I am now, than live in this sordid world... horrid society...
How can one, otherwise... genuinely, ever... find joy, again? No promise of anything beyond that, I suppose, even if... once, with compartmentalization, somehow... no...

The unknown in the universe... is me. I am, though, just a symbol, not the quality of the unknown itself... I reside here, there... now you can see me, but other times...
You... along with everyone else, to varying degrees... fear me, do you not? You fear the future, for resources are depleted, mostly the... ethereal, shall we say, psyche.
I suppose, it is not really so, but so little is known of the 'mind', that it might as well be ethereal for you, no? Is it not... hilarious? How you thought you knew...
So much more about yourself, how you would react at some point in the future, just because you attempted to observe, in the past... not how existence functions, though...
Change is constant... and it can be both qualitative, along with quantitative; one's error often is in confusing one for the other... generally, much harder to predict...
Paradigm shifts, shall we say... like dams bursting open in your damn mind... and not because I unearthed it with my scythe... no, you can destroy yourself very well...
You got distracted just now, did you not...? It is, also, a sign, actually... of your dissolution, impending insanity; one might wonder if the unknown is feared. It is...

Societies... are they not delectable creatures? Speaking of which, I embody them... I am what is left if one was to personify societies... collectives in one... sordidly.
I... pretend to care, but never really admit it is but pretence, for why would I when I can have both the cake and eat it? Why would I have a cake and not eat it? Anyway.
I pretend that... each constituent of society is not really, in reality, looking out for just themselves... which, of course, they are... nature of life, and all...
We build... something, algebraic, say, and defend it at all costs. Therefore, we are doing so for what that symbol represents, in reality... I mean... well, you see...
Who cares about lives, when one can merely defend some mathematical notation at a fraction of the cost, am I right? I am, therefore, society... monopolies of violence....
I, and only I... well, those who subscribe to an eye for an eye, anyway... can take your life... but only after you completed your job at destroying your weakest, verily.
I am... psychoses over millennia; a mere amalgamation of lucky individuals, alongside broken fools who are actually, theoretically, luckier than those Moloch devoured...

Ah, nature... I assume you reckon it is where I come from? As if, somehow, you are separate from it? Oh, wait, that was those... sapiens, was it? The absolute irony...
Perhaps, homo supercilium? Anyway, are you not more 'at home' in a shell of your former self, so negative, in a world so grim? I suppose, imagine if you were optimistic.
You would be at constant odds with reality... not that, I suppose still, that if the creature next to me, representative of collectives, enabled certain... affairs...
I suppose... I mean, you could be reasonably optimistic, and I know, as our type of lives also rely quite a bit on collective structures; masses voting for corruption...
Though? Consciously, too? Against their own interests? Just so some buddies who happen to be connected get some cream? Oh, human societies are truly something to behold.
The intentionality aspect is the crux, of course... if one does something to promote corruption, or, inversely, hurt others... unintentionally, it would be different...
I tire of all, honestly... can I not merely seclude myself entirely, and somehow still survive? Far away from any hubbub... any collective, conscious cruelty...

To be fair... not every one. Some look worse... a variety of creatures, just outside here, all symbolic of all they are, psychologically... generally, though...
Is it not... 'funny'... how all of them look only minutely different, regardless of what they are really like? One could be charitable, another could kill dozens, yet...
All that seems to stand in between them... a different hairstyle, or such. Thus, I was born, borne out of your need to see yourself as you truly are... see a...
Non-existent hell... for, verily, a limbo is all one can hope for... not an afterlife, no... after all, they are all mental states. That heavenly nectar you tasted?
Are delusions not interesting? It is what consciousness is... selective mutism. A highlight... a torch, to light up the bowels of hell itself, with an expectant Moloch.

Who destroy their own kind... just for fun, and because society cannot be bothered, or something... oh, yes, they are the ones who always assume that no one else could...
Have anything resembling any semblance of consciousness. The ones who operate solely on the basis of nepotism, but not when those same units desire to destroy, for fun...
Oh, yes, we, along with the millions of other species, around... are totally the ones who lack any sort of nuance, yes... and not the ones who set up whole...
Sociological systems just to, besides destroying their own weakest, convince the populace to destroy themselves, collectively. Oh, and we have no idea about sarcasm...

Difference, is all... some might think we are not evolved, as such, but that is due to a technological necessity, you see... also... was it not yours, too? Is it not...
Strangely... ironic? As in, some might think we are not as 'advanced', as such, solely due to time... so was your predicament, was it not? Was thy... largesse, say, by...
Society. Was it not due to time? The... proportioner of all, was it not? We are stuck forever, seemingly deformed, out of technological limits; you, on the other hand...
I mean, at least it is not, similarly, external? Perhaps, though, it might be; in implications, ramifications, every single one society's perk... alternative was...
A bit costly, was it not? I mean, if we could not have 'advanced' graphics, why should your life be spared...? Oh, I do not intend to think psychopathically, but...
At least our limits are aesthetic, not functional... we are, merely, further away from reality, shall we say. You, on the other hand... lost in a labyrinth, amid reality.

Perhaps, just a sense that anywhere else you would just... not belong? You do not, exactly, belong here either, though, do you? Do you not reside, usually, in your mind?
Oh, this is a sort of pause for you, is it? A break from an everlasting neurosis imposed earlier on, is it? In a way, though, is it not, possibly, feeding, in a sense...
Instead of the aforementioned, I guess, a form of... psychosis, perhaps? In the sense of... voices, detached and all, even if metaphorical... sure, not literally, but...
I do not know... I mean, the planet I come from... we try our best not to make anyone end up neurotic, as opposed to this world, where it seems almost inevitable...
Endogenous psychosis is not, quite, as medicalized, either; we try to understand its narrative, conceptual roots, and since rarely is anyone neurotic, less psychosis too.

Not within the arms of... sweet oblivion? Pray tell... is this how all of perfect always ends up? As if, a mirror image, a dream turned into a nightmare... life, death...
I thought death was final, oblivion, though... or is this some sort of message I need to understand? Perhaps, it might be merely just my individual situation... some...
Strange apparition, a physical anomaly, perhaps... or, indeed, just the yin to my yang of nigh perfect circumstances... after all, one could not just never suffer, no...?

Barely holding onto life, now... physically... why must this happen? Is this, perchance, retribution by the elements of chaos...? I suppose, we might have less likely...
Had some catastrophe... if we went by boat, like centuries prior. Drowning, still a possibility... an oceanic abyss that awaits eagerly, like a Kraken there to devour...
Like a watery Saturn, gobble up its own offspring, without a care from nature, collectively... after all... if the rest of nature is just fine... why should it care...
We might be nearing our deaths, some hanging by their very fingernails, but I suppose... if we cannot change nature, what can we do...? At least... I can accept that...
At least, it is random chaos, a fundamental force of nature, and not some pre-conceived system built up, insidiously, artificially, just to annihilate, suffocate, kill...
Still, now that I think of it... everything is random, is it not? Chance of birth, death, in between... circumstances... inversely, then, how can anyone accept anything?

At the end of their lives... what, you reckon anyone cares about them now, when they barely cared about them while fully alive? Oh, wait, what... are you saying that...
That is, exactly, what so-called humans do? That they save lives, or give birth, just to cause them more suffering? Altruism a mere facade? I should have suspected...
Then again... hell, even I am not that ruthless... I am an otherwordly vulture who feasts on those who are about to shuffle off... not the weakest, though, I have some...
Morals? Are you saying that the same creatures who have none, yet invented a word for it? Well, I suppose, there could be fictional definitions, but they never quite...
Admit it, do they? Oh, no, they pretty much gaslight by inventing the bizarre adjective 'humane', when all they do is destroy others, just because they can...

Burdened with a consciousness... I do not, quite, know why... it is, as if, the universe desires to torture me, with every death I cannot prevent, every torture victim...
Despite wearing the same hue, blood... hue of pain and destruction, is what I detest... not fear, to be clear; I have none of that myself, of course... no, I detest it...
I do because mortals use it... as if some threshold, a horrid barometer of how much they, equally vulnerable and yet, somehow, temporarily advantaged... can inflict...
Life is a perversity of existence, you see... and this is why. There are levels of such insanity among other fauna, to be clear, but nothing as much as these humans...
Have managed... whole systems, societies, nominally with institutions of 'justice'... in reality, it would be like saying that vomit is as delectable as some banquet...

Fate... is me... or, at least, I am a symbol of such a concept... most would think it some poetic abstract, at best, nothing actual... and that is, sort of, correct...
Not just, though, is it? I suppose, there are... choices made that affect one's fate. These decided to go on a metal tube in the sky; rare to crash, yet they did.
Births also have rare, but tragic outcomes, yet that is where free will is even less relevant... where it is, mostly, though... where it seems most despicable, due to...
A combination of free will, societal structures, and a mere lack of time... is when 'fate' deals the worst cards to, due to the above, the most vulnerable... certainly...
Different, from this... I suppose, there might have been the vulnerable inside, those who did not, quite, make the decision that ended up here... ultimately, though...
All things being equal, if their prior lives were mostly fine, fair, joyful... it is, still, an unfortunate, chaotic disaster, borne out of randomness; not so, others...

Why do you reckon the replication of lives otherwise resembles that of germs? One must be fooled to think there is, really, that much difference, besides size...
All of life is the same... same error in existence, and you know that which you seem to think is exclusive to one species or another? It goes earlier than that, to...
Viral particles, which do a certain thing to the cells they infect... sure enough, though, they do not build whole 'civilizations' with the purpose of...
Institutionalizing violence... something to that, especially when it is under the guise of 'rationality'... or 'rationalization', I suppose... who knows, though?

Also... expected to... actually live among those who... well, if it can be called living, this... were utterly indifferent? Oh, and, presumably pretend that flames did...
Not eat me inside out? I mean, I know this is a world of many pretences, but some 'jump the shark', shall we say, if fire and sharks can be mixed... just unbelievable...

Do not follow causes? What kind of strange, backwards-looking thinking is that? If you did not want my current fury, responses to injustices, then guess what...
Although... I am not entirely sure who I am addressing, here... I suppose, I have more of a type of personality in mind, but specifically? The irony is, I somehow live...
While death has snatched them away... of course, there are many others like them, out there... many who devour the living, some who do until there is nothing but bones...
Yet more irony, then, that they think I do the same, just because of an effect, remember... curious, this world, hypocrisy its crux... vile more than any vice, verily...

Why would I not? I, similarly to psychopaths, have no mirror neurons... ethereal beings do not have such, generally... I am, also, much more conscious, though...
When I instigate a... relation, say, to inflict violence, like there is no tomorrow... I make them feel the destruction their hearts bring forth... all the future that...
Ceases to exist, due to such violence, I relish in it... just as they do. Being ethereal means there is no physical contact, but I channel myself through physical beings.

Cycle of madness, one might say... some, although I am more of a function, might delight in this continuation... only one reason why life, at its abstract, continues on.
It is because... some want it to, to continue the suffering... not even pointing towards the already living here, even with their instinct to procreate, I am referring...
To those who continue to recycle such life, regardless of instincts... one sees that if a planet is left... unnoticed... various objects from outer space would crush all.
All of its life... so, there has been some manipulation, from those ethereal beings who desire pain and suffering, to perpetuate life on this one planet...

To be so... awed, struck, annihilated, grimly. The night a friend, but only out of spite for light's violence. In there, the netherworld resides... anxiety furled, there.
I, but a dragon, of a psyche agone. Gone, the day of night, an almighty thunder upon a glasshouse. We await, there in case, to tear asunder... alas, a mere louse you are.
Neither lizards, nor monstrous, us... but, as you know, the blizzards of fate are impossible, and so it is; annihilated, but still there; desecrated, but pillars stand.

Nothing new, at all... for through minds, collectively, are actions not merely committed, but frenzied... a life grinds, but to them... why should they care? An apt fare.
So would they claim, at least, to the... gods, back then. Moloch on one end, a knife's odds on the other... not only psychopathic, but neurotic, deeply... lovingly...
Religious it was, at that time... lately, in such abodes, and not at all litigious. One's nightmare, their idyll, after which a norm, a tidal form of catecholamines...
Hey, though, if society keeps functioning... why not? Their propriety, outside... and, in my time, perhaps rain, to... cleanse the rotting brain, that now remained...
Frighten you, I do not mean to... why, your day might yet lighten, if you only ignore all the horrors in the shadows, merely the collectives' mirrors, pain for no reason.

You see, I have limited access to the physical world, so they come to me for that... and while, technically, I am not visible, I tell them I am... part of my shtick...
It is, still, not totally true... you see, while I am, personally, invisible to the physical world... my tricks are not. So, I play with living beings, but...
Play they do not often, do they? Sometimes, I notice... more senseless violence than even demonspawn from hell itself can inflict... I keep wondering, why...
When one can be jovial and merely play tricks... could it be, perchance, demons in physical form? Even most I met in the ethereal realm do not desire to cause such pain.
It often makes me unable to enjoy tricking others, anymore... so frustrating I cannot do much, either... often, then, I merely leave, nary a trick in sight, just sadists.
In other sorts of houses, though, the happier kind, the type not even wealth can purchase... I can get into a certain rhythm for tricks... a poltergeist, they think...

Elephant:
An amalgam of past and present strains, am I... once did I clash with the terrible lizards, but then somehow shrunk in size... not sure how... is evolution not strange?
Oh, I suppose one could consider that other thing that some prefer as the explanation, that somehow... specific species descended out of nowhere to inhabit a part of...
The world, randomly or so... would that also not have so many other implications, though? I suppose one might think that that initial intelligence only affects initially.
As if a cue and some spheres, but... epigenetics? Free will? The desire to hurt just because nothing deters? Oh, some might think the latter is done by that initial push.
That entirely relies on an imagination, though, and if sociologically there is nothing, then... I believe 'hell' is more real than its counterpart, at any rate... see...
We all are, actually, here to kind of transport all these victims of disasters... from a nightmare, to... possibly nothingness. Is nothing not preferable? Would you want?
All I say is... if there was a hypothetical 'intelligence', reason for life, then it is one brutal, sadistic psychopath... no, though, random chaos is all... nothingness.

Base Demon:
Oh... can I eat your insides, perhap? Can I? Come on... barely do you contain anything else... certainly, all external seems to have vanished, so why can I not?
Can you not grant me such a desire? You see, I cannot, quite, indulge without asking first... I am, kind of, someone's relative, you see... not that that usually means...
Anything whatsoever... except... I still hunger for... physical flesh, I so desire... only broken ones, though... just seems to be my nutritional requirement, and all...
Kind of easier to get, considering their state of mind... also fairer, no? In comparison to... well, millennia ago, and their own pasts... at least I ask for consent, no?
It is inevitable, but still... I am not some total psychopath like some humans... and, sure, only a small minority of them are cannibals, but the fact so many are...
Carnivores, and there happen to be so many psychopaths, all so naturally? Could be a coincidence, but... even my relative waited until they threw them in...
One should not merely believe all one hears about demons, you know; we might look differently, live distinctly, but we certainly respect free will, and choice, unlike...

You know... if I had any access to the physical realm, and I am entirely ethereal, just to be clear... if I did, though, and... well, I suppose, if I could also do...
As much as in the ethereal realm... well, certainly would not, quite, function if I was another mere mortal... if I was not, though... hypothetically, and all...
I would make sure disasters as such this are much more unlikely to happen... we kind of know more about the physics of the world, and could use that to ascertain...
Less accidents... also, one or two humans? Recipe for disaster, although I suppose not much else they can do, as of now... oh, also, if I had said access I would try...
To... well, lessen social ailments, which is currently, one must admit, entirely preventable... not quite what is often desired by some, but I wonder what they would...
Say, if I showed them, using my capability to prognosticate, their own inevitably sordid future... whether they would believe me, another matter... still, worth a try...
When certain affairs point towards the wrong direction, you see, it may be so that all end up suffering, in the end; why, I wonder, are certain species so dysfunctional.

Alien C:
I... lay in the shadows, physically unseen, until... snap, goes the psychopath. Not that I can do much about free will... although, I believe there might be someone or...
Something... which could. Of course, it could also be an illusion that can only befall such foolish mortals... ourselves, most of us know our limits, functions at times.
Perhaps, unlimited potential too, in certain circumstances, as with the one over there... although, even they could not, quite, override free will. Then, again...
I do not suppose that, even if they could, they would use that to stop the... heartless ones... oh, how apt... of course... either way... what I do... might interest you.
I lie in wait... lie myself into existence, in the physical world, like their very malevolence given shelter by the larger society... I could not, quite, manipulate...
Physics, but... I can re-arrange certain... coincidences... strings of fate... which ended up in many a psychopath... as dead as their victims...
Not quite vengeance, actually... I mean, if an avalanche overwhelms them, does the... snow hate them? I, merely... coincide them... of course, weakest also have bad luck.

Blood:
Thirst do I, for the blood of the poor fools... especially the ones who are otherwise... quite unscarred from the vicissitudes of life... I encounter many, otherwise...
Deaths by suicide, usually after some horrid lives; I do not reject their blood, to be clear, but it is not as fresh; some have even bled so much it is hard to fathom...
Whether it belongs inside their bodies, or outside... it is why, personally, I would rather societies not destroy their weakest, so much... which, I suppose, must seem...
Odd... coming from me, a demonic bloodquencher, but then, as the many species throughout the universe... and they remain hidden, through their advanced technology...
For rational reasons... can attest... no other sordid collective is so attuned with psychopathy as humans... although they, of course, pretend that one would need to...
Appear monstrous, perhaps, to act as such. Miraculously forgetting, almost by magic, the many plain-looking serial killers... who were found. Aside from the mere violent.
Honestly, at times I feel almost like a pupil of their insanity. Oh, wait, not inherent insanity... no, for psychopathy is a choice... myself, I wait until natural death.

I... am here to... collect... a certain synaptic transmission, you see... a certain... present to both joy and damnation, it is most of what life is, and beyond psyches.
I... am the storage of dopamine, you see, that which motivates, that which both curses, and enlivens... I recycle it, and... well, life, you see... has a certain way...
I do not question from whence, dopamine is, as if, the psyche's blood... will, motivation... all variances. Some use it to learn an instrument, others use it to hurt...
I do oft wonder about the perversity of such a system... not when the system is isolated, I suppose, where the only one affected is themselves... neurotransmission...
In such a case... is a self-reinforcing mechanism. Nothing negative comes from learning instruments, except, perhaps, a waste of time... when dopamine is used to...
Also gotten from... others being hurt, though, one can only conclude evolution must be psychopathic... still, only my observations, as an ethereal container of sorts...
Sometimes I wonder why all systems could not just be isolated, as a kind of mechanism against psychopathy, but then... procreation would need such inter-dependence...

Indifference, is all I am... I do not care an iota about anything, or anyone... as long as my needs are met, why not, no? Why should I care? Hell, I...
Certainly do not expect anyone to care about me, if I am in need... I would probably complain about it, at that point, and see if anyone would care... still...
Does not mean I would get anything out of caring for anyone else, even if they happen to care about me at my hour of need... so, if the latter does not depend on...
The former... why should I? I... relish being every laugh in the face of despair... for, truly, who cares? I read about mirror neurons, and oxytocin... would I, though...
Not merely be burdened, even if I had such? I should say, it is better this way... no worries, a more positive life for me, and who cares about others. At times...
Possibly... even those I am supposed to... care more for, for some reason, genetically, I do not care for... after all, I am but a unit, I am the only true real self...
Selfish? That is not an insult, that is kind of, like, calling a cloud a cloud, among many other clouds, in a heavenly system made for clouds... such is this world...

Werewolf C:
Lend me your ears, for it is what I am here for... it is the reason why I am so, a hybrid... some might say... a monstrous one... what is such a definition, though?
At times, is it not merely projection? Why, what other ideal would one have, to defend oneself from certain actions, except to call the other as such? Many specificities.
The abstract, though... I am conversing, so that cannot fit under such a definition, correct? I might be here, near this disaster, but I did not cause it, so still...
I transform into such a creature... now, tell me, if I wanted to hurt others... why would I do that? Why would I not, merely, remain human, conduct social affairs...
Externally... with propriety, and all... whatever societies want, these days, a modicum of acceptability, regardless of the many lives it destroys, and... well... so...
You tell me, under such a definition... who would be worse? More effective, I suppose, at doing what monstrous creatures are supposed to do... poisons, metaphorically...
Poisons could always be more efficient than swords, say, could they not? Poisons built upon poisonous, systemic structures, then... no individual werewolf can compete...

Demons, such as I, would rather scavenge the dead, than indulge in this raw corruption of meaning... I suppose, one can still hardly not use words at all...
Even if the profundity of the corruption is so vast... one, though, can still merely pretend they do not exist at all, even if they touch, and in turn, corrupt certain...
Affairs, shall we say, that should have nothing to do with society's psychopathy, but then, it is what the real 'demons' are proficient at, no...? A sordid malaise...

Macrorganism:
The potential of all that is lost, I contain... potency, you see, is a metaphysicality, per se, and needs to go somewhere, at any one point... I am, thus, here to store.
All that can be stored, until it goes elsewhere... kind of a logistical affair, although the more physical aspects are, it appears, melancholic and borne out of...
A certain mental configuration, that affects personality... not here to judge, necessarily, am I... not even sure why I happen to be conscious, honestly... I guess...
Though... if some want to destroy others, just as others go to some lengths and indulge in corruption, just to help others... overall, what can one do except let...
Societies fail under the weight of their own psychopathies? Even if potential is wasted... still, at least it goes to someone else, no? It does seem to function...
Exponentially, you see; once person A wastes person A2's potential, person B2 gets not only their own inherent potency, but the other too, even if person B does nothing.
Kind of how physics functions, regardless of whatever social neurosis is in existence. Is fate not amusing? Not even a roll of dice, it is even more abstract...

So much is variable, so much depends... until time, eventually, descends, into either the prime of life, or a merely morose meandering whistling the grime of solitude...
A barbarian, some say, but did they not conquer empires? Some do not merely seek to invent, some would prefer to affix metaphorical cement, and destroy... a doom oracle.
The sword hast nigh always been the mast of societies, and the annihilation of specific lives? Mere pieties... a mass cares not for the cessation of egos, it deprives...
Why, verily, doth thou believe the pen is mightier? Go forth, wearily, again, or let the dearth of life consume this cursed Earth... as it will always be there, thirst.
Unquenchable, for could have been, as existence will always be untenable... instinctually, resistance; nothingness, the answer, unambiguously, due to sociological cancer.

Why do certain points, specific existential conundrums, puzzle it so? I suppose, one did admit that perfection is nigh unlikely, but a paradigm shift? A dam bursting...

At the... maximum possible amount... well, life and death are, kind of, binary... although, not quite... are they? So much of the latter is within the former...
Especially later on, when the destruction is complete, and some chapters have ended, there it remains, as if an everlasting curse, a rot within the core of vitality...
Lose hope, for there is none, and never was. The box? Always empty. For millennia, now. Just as with societies' emptiness, there is nought but dreary nightmares...

Alien E:
Taste this... rot. It is all there is, now. One's very own sustenance, is all... was all, will be all... mould, decrepit rot, your mere life. You might see this...
At times, you might observe the lunar insanity... which always derived its source back to Thanatos, the wonder of obscurity and fear... nothingness, and yet...
Does one think there might be really nothing better, there, despite the darkness? Imagination, is all... on the other hand, here, one can see, horrors manifest...
The will to ruin, here... will to inflict pain, and then shuffle off; a deck of cards, with one fallen off, but who would notice? Who ever, verily? Smell the rot...
It is all... reality's rot, it is here, not imagined... why else would some, after wars, say, cannot bear anything anymore? The outer world is no different... nightmare.
It is all, the poison, the hate, the vile bile of reality's sated sadism. It is all, just as death is all, and so is madness... what, though, specifically? A reaction...
I, just... am not sure why many persist. I mean, I suppose, you did perceive this sky, once, this air... why do you, necessarily, need to, anymore? Barely, you can...

The Monster baze:
Hurt, I must, others, for it is my sole purpose, to be curt to existence... why, tell me, one from the future, why the persistence? Do you not relish being, itself?
The suture of seeing... realizing, finally, reality, and its actually brutalizing crux... so random, life is, the flux of insanity... yet, the fact that... it is all...
For... merely... vanity... pact asunder, not that there was ever any... wonder an illusion, but you knew that, despite your current conclusion... night terrors, up...
Above, I was... no errors... at times, one survives, even if desperation has quite the archives, but then you wonder... would damnation not have been preferable?
A blunder, then; an oversight, the irony; alight, lives go, when will wills it... for evolution, you see, has given it a thrill, and if... society, a dissolution, then...
If, though, indeed, one's anxiety is held back by some dam, if virtuality is one's jam, then... lo and behold, banality's at bay... although not quite, per se...
One must see, the gloom within others, since the womb, and, drearily, until one's tomb, it is all; eerily, even after, one can faintly hear that schadenfreude's laughter.

Uh... I was in this arena, just now, and then... some kind of light, and I ended up here... now, prima facie this certainly does not seem like the place I come from...
It is... much hotter, there, even at night... and where I was, before, was actually in the day... I guess, it could always be on the other side of the world, but from...
The creatures around me... make me think this is not just any old part of the world. I do not suppose I could find Marcus Aurelius around here, anywhere... still...
I assume... virtue is still emphasized around these parts? What, you mean it was never really of import? Hypocrisy is the universal quality? How, also, could the...
Definition have changed... and how does one merely patiently endure? Is that what is recommended, around here, when one deals with oppression? At least, we regularly...
Toppled our emperors... why else should they remain, otherwise? Ah, never mind, I seem to be getting cold, but inside there are so many other fearsome-looking creatures.

So... I understand there are certain, shall we say, universal precepts we are supposed to be guided by, and I, frankly, do not care about them, but... regardless if...
One does, or not, it seems to automatically function as such, like some psychopathic drive to hurt others that I, ironically, have, and yet cannot fulfil due to these...
Is it metaphysical? Not entirely sure, but Asura down there, who is ever so frustrated... having seemingly unlimited power to destroy, and yet unable to, due to...
Whatever these barriers are... well, they think these are natural, kind of like how the seas part geologies, but that still makes little sense to me, as I have wings...
I can easily traverse these lands... yet interact with very few objects, virtually none living, annoyingly... why is it one needs to be a living psychopath to inflict...
The kind of pain I want to inflict... I cannot even reach that strange creature over there, who I assume is not from around here, and living... why, though, when...

It is not, as if, I ever denied having eyes, and yet sometimes... it just dawns on me, I have none... a whole world of sensory data, never available to me... why, though?
What I also am not sure about is whether I had been like this from the very beginning, say, inherently, nature and all... or it happened, somehow... society deciding...
I must have no sight, for some reason... why, though? Just random chance? Something pre-planned? Chromosomes? I suppose the latter is entirely likely, and yet...
I keep feeling, occasionally, that I was not, quite, born so... I suppose, what is the difference, ultimately, whether one had the misfortune of it being either nature...
I suppose, or... I mean, if, in the end, it is the same effect, no? Does the one born to it get angry at nature? Are they not all deterministic? Inevitable? Existential?
Ah, I realize I might be wasting time, perhaps, in thinking too much about this, and, ultimately, wasting one's own life, but what else can one do, sometimes? Perhaps?

Flutter around, I do... seeking in low spirits, for the spirits to drink their souls as an afternoon soup, verily; tastes delicious, it does, if you ever try it...
Oh, wait, what? You do not have this delicacy, because it seems to you it might be too far? Otherwise, though, when it is other species it is fine, not too close or far?
Makes a lot of sense. I mean, by necessity I dine upon others, too, as I have never seen anyone like me, anyway... I especially like the earthy texture of those humans...
Those broken down by others of their species? Right, because, of course, one can be a bull in a china shop, just not a certain mythological Titan... nope, cannot do that.
Hey, though, it is not like everything is not often broken, no? Objects, devices, what is a few lives thrown in a pit of despair; also, their psyches smell better!
No, really... oh, you wonder how a psyche is accessed? How else? Bring them to the brink, and it reveals itself... which is why I descend upon them when that happens...
What, you only thought minds are there to sense external things? Oh, it can be very much sensed itself, too, which is why it can be broken, it being merely an object...

Existential mana, it is, you see... certain dynamics, in this universe, propel specific actions, for clear reasons... not compel, for we are separate by an ethereal veil.
One felt, as it happens, when a psyche is at its wit's end, where all is dire, and oxytocin as rare as antimatter... astronomical, not psychopathic type. That...
Mental state, borne out of a desperate strait, is the portal to my entrance... convince them to give up, I try, enable them to imagine... reality... I try. That is all...
I do not even lie, lie so many of their own species do, I merely show them all the realistic darkness that destiny seems to have prescribed for them... enveloping them...
Some do give in to the inevitable, regardless of any potential failures... some, though, seem to want to witness more of that immeasurable misery, as if in disbelief...

The sickness itself, am I, made ethereal flesh, or, at least, its counterpart... a disease that spreads, but... as opposed to germs, which function a slight bit like...
Clockwork, say, or even, of course, their digital versions... apparent automation, albeit natural... well, I suppose there is a variety of sickness, some not even...
Considered as such, by other species, or so... as in certain poisons... so, I suppose, I might be one of those, although not quite inter-species, for this is a quite...
Subjective kind of thing, and I am merely the metaphysical symbol of its spread, its insanity, its indifference... irrelevance to the grand scheme of things; a banality.
To be clear, I am not just some triviality, that is not the implication of 'banality', no, I am merely unsurprising, my existence being the rot within life... and...
To clarify, once more; it is a rot that few seem to want to remove. It is not some fungi, either, as they can certainly surprise, occasionally, with their mystery...
I am merely that which rusts within life, and yet it is rust which gives some dopamine, somehow. Some witness my nightmare, and recoil not; others have life's nightmares.

FireGolem:
Oh, all the disgusting affairs... it is all I seem to be, and feel, disgust... why is life so full of such, tell me? I can barely bear to look at such a revolting thing.
All lives... why are they revolting so? Even those occasional, positive feelings towards certain creatures... are merely subjective... and hypocritical, for why would...
Say, small furry creatures, elicit a certain response, but not other similarly-sized, unfurry ones, who, in some instances, are even within the same species?
Life, then, is not just disgusting, with the way so many affect others, but stupid, too... entirely illogical, although one can never pretend to find logic in 'cuteness'.
Even within such internal logic, though, there is none... just inconsistencies, randomness, and cruelty to those who happen to not elicit a specific neuronal response...
Why does one even bother with this at all, though? Why, if one themselves were logical, in some sense, or at least rational, it would merely behoove one to just lie down.
I suppose, one can get tired for a variety of reasons... an existential kind, though, goes so much deeper, as if to the very crux of life itself, which is ever so sordid.

Every time I pretend to be a protector of peace and some other buzzwords, but in reality use my immunity to murder... it is my one eye. After all, I could not, exactly...
Not see anything apart from my fear, could I? I was afraid, therefore others should forfeit their lives, and it is not like there are not many others...
Besides those who bestowed my immunity... others who also support my actions, for some spurious reason, until they are dead themselves... I mean, presumably...
They still support me, even after then, and if they happen to not do so, if there is some kind of consciousness, still, well, they cannot communicate it; my one eye.

Why could one not be content about that? Is that not all one needs in life, at times? I mean, always better than being dead, no? No? Ah, so busy with my luck, a lucky...
Evasion, and now all this... not a single lonely day, and one can see all the luck I collect, just here... such a full life I lead, I certainly have no need to speak...
With someone who has none. Seriously, though, if one has no life... are they not, technically, by definition, dead? Ah, death in life, is it? Where every atom of...
Horror derives from... after all, one can hardly feel while fully dead. Not me, though, and not with my luck... never had a need for empathy, either; justification...

It seems to be connected to the past, which, I suppose, is quite a lot, considering I think I lived in some ancient lands... not entirely certain if this is the present.
Might you know? Why, all seems to be falling apart, but only nominally, mostly, if you get my drift... still, what is this injury from? Could Osiris have come after me...
In my sleep, perhaps, or earlier on? Were they even supported by the rest of the worshippers...? A long time ago, this pain seems to have begun... will it ever end?
Was death not adequate? Is pain not supposed to be temporary? Why do I merely seem to be one of those whose souls I weighed, why... just a wanderer, in oblivion...
I suppose... I fell, but was I ever anywhere? Was it but an illusory distraction? One that did not even last until... suddenly... is annihilation not enough? Can I, even?
Could it be, maybe, somatic? Psychogenic? In ancient times we had not, quite, developed widely known theories, but I have a few hunches; still, it caught me by surprise.

Ah, to be at peace, which you shall never know, for it is more likely for one's life to cease, as woe envelops you... and, sometimes, is that not how life develops?
To be accepting of absurdities, it is not this or that, and although differing by magnitudes, they are certainties... all I am saying is... perhaps, it so concludes...
Who can say, though? Who can pinpoint where the snow lands? Whose society can anoint functionality? Why, everyone's affected by banality... peace, then, may be deflected.
Be joyful, though, for caprice is what occupied thine life, and while it did subside, strife never, quite, disappears... and those little existential gears do not...
Quite... grease themselves... and while it may not be as torrential, still, a piece of sanity one shall not find, for that is, ultimately, the very core, the crux of...
Humanity... no surprise, then, it means nothing else other than pure brutality, and while certain states, like serenity, are possible, remotely, the gates are rusted...

Be described as such? What is contained within the average... life, shall we say... of one's own species, too... could very well be 'barren'... in fact, that is often...
A charitable description, as such... I mean, so many are just barren, barely seem to know the definition of empathy, at best sociopathic... and that is the better side...
As, another sizeable amount within any collective is made out of explicit psychopaths, and one needs not to, necessarily, leak poison in tea, for one to be so... some...
Societies seem to want that, though, to label it as such, even if so many traits, held in common, are psychopathic, although not possibly lethal... and, no, my looks...

For the foundation of collectives is not the word, concepts, but objectives... self, blurred... suddenly, imagination is, just... not one's salvation, anymore; subtly...
Insanity may creep in, but, then, relative it is, in more ways than one, humanity; cruelties, seep in, luck nowhere, despite myself... only rot snuck in, I thought...

Conscious misery, once and for all... oh, I suppose, there might be the remote possibility that the same kind of atoms are recycled, and so imbued with life once more...
Rationally, though, when one is conscious, and in all likelihood merely subject to another's oppression, life is inherently predatory... suicide, then, has always been...
Merely rational... of course, that is no denying the role that these irrational instincts play, and the fear of darkness will always be there... still, how else...
Can one explain this sordid world? No, though, most, if not all of life, keep to their instincts... our ancient selves did, too, until that meteor... annihilated both...
The huge rex, and the smallest lizard; social relations can certainly hold no candle to automated physics... and so it will be, in this miserable world, until the end...

Once, in the future, when all is done... when trivial affairs taken care of, when instincts tended to... when all one aspires to is sustenance... when one barely thinks.
Not that, I suppose, that implies anything, as is often done, not just by implication... as if it is not every single life that has instincts, as if species can be...
Differentiated... and not, say, utterly random, as natural chaos itself is... as if old eras and lives are delineated by strife, and nothing happens in the present...
Still... could there have been remnants of reactions to danger, dipped in instincts, passed down through the centuries, that destroy non-threatening lives? Perhaps, or...
They are, merely, choices made... after all, if instinctual reactions are not needed... instincts are not, really, at play, are they? That is it, then, most likely...
I... react, in a jungle, to a threat... while a hypothetical increase of catecholamines might have been inherited... in non-threatening situations it is a mere choice...
What... happen to be wondering how could a gorilla ruminate so much? While I am not, technically, a ruminant, I do still... well, look around you, a devastated reality...

Dragon B:
Seek the skies, and travel ye shall... or, some such nonsense... eh, I am certainly not here as some scaly prophet, or, indeed, to challenge you to a duel, like so...
Many seem apt to do... nah, I am merely here to offer my observations, although, whether they are relevant, or at all interesting, is another matter, and probably a ship.
One that has, subjectively, sailed... everything is just that, though, is it not? I suppose, there are certain common things... most, though, so individual, and even...
Those affairs that are held in common... certain thoughts, responses... merely accorded to averages, they are... so, if one is within that statistical curve...
Most will be familiar... if not, though, well, the opposite... so, as an example, if I was the first dragon you met, after some other tales... one will likely expect...
A certain response from me... and, you either believed I hoard gold and need to be slain, and such, or merely that I do not, really, exist... all I do, though...
All I do, merely, is stare at this sky, in this perpetual night... sordid darkness may be all this world might have, but this airy breeze, our consciousness, will not...

Spinosaurus:
Need, I do, to... cruel, be, demean, tear limb from limb... it is all I ever did, and all I ever desire to do... annihilate, decimate, inflict as much pain as possible...
For, why else would one evolve so? I am, like every other life, for different purposes, a tool... made for, myself, pain, just others could feel... it is all I made...
All I am for... until the last moment I shall inflict pain, even seconds before the meteor lands, and if they are so tired, so broken that they can barely leave...
My vicinity... pain I shall inflict... even after I am extinct, the pain will be residual... and if I am reborn, and if I can no longer harm directly, if I can no longer.
Bite the flesh, as I have always done... I still will do all possible, even if I have to utilize sociological loopholes, future humans' collective psychopathy, I will...
Just to inflict pain... and even if I can no longer do that, or could never, I will still attempt to utilize all I can, words if all, to hurt... pain is all I live for...
Pain is, after all, a communicator, is it not? Even when language never was, yet, and even when it is, all it will always say is "I could not care less"; I am born so...

Do not, quite, see the point of being verbose... subjective it is, the joint of virtuality... once they were, though, affective... long before the snow of dread fell...
Upon a future not yet tread... net had not been cast, possibilities... possibly vast... ah, culpabilities, one wonders, after so many died... although, I suppose...
The thunders of fate... when they happen to be accurate, when the hate is misshapen... whatever can one do? Even when lives sever... when one dives into insanity...
Whatever, indeed, is the point of rhyme? Who knows, but then again, there is little purpose in anything, including mime... welcome, at any rate, to this abode, where...
Coherency is seldom... still, who cares? As long as one adheres to the delirancy, and tears dry not... an attempt was made, fought, but now, all there is... is contempt.
Tire one does, instincts be damned, of all that was prior... all the sordid crammed, all the bile boarded; just happenstance, no guile... a mere dark chance, a gory arc.

Obliterate me... yet, I keep moving around, flailing around, to be precise... wandering, malfunctioning, some even wondering how come I do not have the usual kind of...
Life... as if, somehow, the obvious in front of them is missed, and that is when it is obvious; although, I suppose, some may be so blinded by their own lives...

Have been my incredible skills that ended up with me and that creature in some other dimension where, apparently, they are free to destroy me, but not entirely...? Skill.

Annoyingly, I do not seem able to act on anyone else, here... as if an invisible barrier exists... now, why would anyone ever think of such a thing? Just to tease?
Showing us everyone else, letting our eyes feast on them, but unable to literally do so... and, I mean, I would not attempt it with some, to clarify... some... quite...
Gigantic creatures, shall we say... I would not, if there was no barrier, approach... I suppose, then, thinking about it, it does happen to be protective too...
If they could, certainly would likely devour me too, if they could... is that not how it goes in this sordid existence? Devour all one can... as long as sociological...
I suppose... strictures? If the barrier could be called that... still, whatever happened to this one nearby? Looks like someone got to them... looks tasty... frustrating.

After all, is that not, at times, better for one's very own purposes? I mean, it is no use to be all vicious, threaten seemingly everyone within a certain geography...
In turn, then, be slain, or such... no use at all, no? No, much better to remain under the radar, within collectives' radar even, if possible... I mean, if they are...
All fine with the hoarding of gold on a mountain, or the crushing of creatures trapped near to oneself, then... why not avail oneself... subtly? After all, one's own...
Psychopathy... is often mirrored, within collectives... so, as long as they are not, apparently, threatened, otherwise.... it is the problem with large creatures, like...
Unevolved dragons, you see, the problem is a lack of subtlety... one can do a lot, over many years, if one remains in the shadows... even beyond the grave, one destroys.

Why, then, does one merely ruminate? Could it, perchance, be cognate with the possibility of a glance at... eternity? Surely not, for reality is... a vat of obscurity...
Why, then, would one bother? Not sure, one is, but to proffer... a certain existential coffer, of all that was, potential gone, because brawn makes one drawn; no brakes.
What else could one do when nothing is already the crux, annihilation rushing, depression a deluxe? When one is surrounded by memories, what seems like centuries...

Also needed, to sustain such biology, but, at least, there is a certain element of reward... neurotransmission which, in this one instance... might, or might not...
Involve other lives being impacted, based on what is devoured, or drunk... so, one can see how life begins, fundamentally, by the oppression of oneself, then goes on...
Onto others, by necessity, to degrees... quod erat demonstrandum... cruelty is more at the roots than one might think... of course, that precludes artificial structures.

That purported to be so... ah, for, truly, there is no better suffering, no total hegemony of sadistic psychopathy, than if one took over both alternatives; are humans...
Not beautifully excruciating? Making psychopaths of all, do I, even those who merely want... what was that, again, 'change'...? Ah, the hilarity of inevitable propaganda.
Future am I, do you not mind... as the past, so am I... a future of pain, and gratification for those who merely got that... inexorable vote. Ah, such things, societies.

Ah... shall we? Enjoy a... nice cup of tea, perhaps? Of despair, anger, depression... such ingredients, making such a concoction... relish it, for it is all one has...
Now, tell me, what do you reckon about hypocrisy? The rank kind? Ah, apologies, might just be myself, just out of a certain war from another dimension, you see, and...
There is... nowhere, exactly, to relax here, and cleanse myself of pure bile... oh, yeah, the aforementioned hypocrisy... I mean, at least it is garbage in, garbage out.
When it comes to myself, that is, looks and all... others, though, they have a tie, and all... hilariously, for the maximum, hypocritic drive, sort of thing...
They might also be named after the founder of a movement they perverted, now... I suppose, what else is in the formula? What other ingredients? Generally... up is down...
At least, I do not pretend to merely have a flesh wound, or such... I might be injured, well, scratch the equivocation; anyway, I still call out nonsense, all dimensions.
Still, it is sickening, is it not? Oh, I am sorry, it appears to be... a decision by the people? After the system has been set up and packaged, sure; frying pan, fire...

Not be all there, if you know what I mean... I am not even sure where I am, I seem to have materialized out of nowhere... I might have been going insane, just before...
Might be why I seem to be attired as such... where was I, even, before? Hm... I think... well, certainly not around these creatures... all else appeared similar to me...
Which... still does not mean much, in terms of who wants to inflict harm, and who does not; these, around here, have not, so far. Back then, though... well, there was...
Someone, once... ah, never mind, they were all like that, as if the Borg themselves... who, very basically... just wanted to grift; I suppose, a petty thief would...
These were not petty, though... had resources of entire nations, did they, just because no one had any choice. Stole did they, not just wealth, but entire futures...
Is it not funny, though? I mean, if one was to be angry, or at least... a bit too much, whatever that is... it seems there never is enough; but, oh, then one is to blame.

Ah, but... I might be different, they think, perhaps... oh, but I was, to be clear, quite vociferant... after all, I did prosecute, utilize that whose sole attribute...
Indeed, might be... hypocrisy, and what better fit, no? To extract the souls out of the most dependent, to give to the plutocracy... verily. For I am ascendent...
For I am... at 'variance'? Merrily, democracy advances forwards, just the... Latin etymological variation, as those who have the least we need to flatten; now I wonder...
Oh, do not blunder, for there is still a 'difference' between the past, and the future... our faces, for we are now cast... and, it is not, as if, prior moocher...
Will get nought, for we shall share; as, after all, nominal equality, we are for, just bought... a square, yet a landslide... where else would they go? Ah, to misguide...

I do not, even, have any idea why the creature is so much bigger than all others... might you have any clue? Perhaps, something to do with the... relative size of evil?
Wait, you react why? Is it, maybe, due to being in another dimension, and so, with all the air possibly devoid of oxygen, they have expanded beyond measure? Although...
If that was possible, then, I wonder why others have not, also, done so.... I do not get it... all of this seems so illogical, but... if so, why does any of it happen...?
Throughout my ventures I battled many a fiend, from megalomaniacal emperors, sorcerers, even mind-controllers from the moon... never, though, have I come across some...
Roof with demons all over that, yet, seem impenetrable; apparently, in contemplation of the massive one, yet what is one supposed to ever do about any of this...?

Resident of any mortal realm, where madness is the algorithm, practically... where beings, such as myself, need to be conjured up, mostly in the imagination, for there...
To be any sense of understanding... where insanity is but the norm, and any questioning would, ironically, end up being termed that which is, logically, the actual norm.
Curious thing is... it has always been so, forever... all of time, particularly when it comes to a certain species, what is, rationally, regarded as insane... a nigh...
Constant prevalence... and then, obviously, those... slightly less insane, shall we say, are the ones they blamed, and ended up, in some cases, lethal ends. Tiring, no?
Of course, in the present this has, still, quite the foothold, even if they think it was worse in the past; a present where X is sanctioned for Y, but Z is not for Y...

Illogical, or plainly insane, whatever is said is... well, guess what? Others, of this demented species that destroys its own kind, totally subscribe to all the nonsense.
Well, some of them do... I believe, perhaps, those who are also host to other such parasites... well, either that, or their brains have already become mush due to others.

Tyrants ever had to do, to stave off revolts, is to merely say that, whatever the collective wanted, is there; they were, of course, too prideful for such a thing...
Not these days, they do it all... say that they are having it, but then, as if, use Zeno's paradox to still not give them what they want... and I am there to relish it...
To witness every time the 'winner' gets to mock others... in reality, probably some, at least, know that it is a merely unstable system, quick to vacillate... which is...
Their intention... and my act, that whispers to them the complexity of mathematics... which, obviously, the dumb, mostly psychopathic populace concentrating on their...
Next 'meal', of preys and predators, will, on the whole, be oblivious about... or, merely use their temporary advantage to mock the 'losers'; ah, pies, and knives...

The... supposedly inherent, instinctual irrationality a certain species claims to have, only because of ancestral evolution... is what I represent; hypocrisy, crux.
For, really, what kind of utter nonsense is that? Oh, one is only malevolent because... some scaly creatures exist, is that it? Not because one chooses, yes?
Free will is totally out of the equation then, is it? I mean, there might be a certain... cosmic aspect... factor, to that... not this, though, no... what brutes do...
Why they do something... is certainly not because one evolved from an ape, or even some long-forgotten lizard DNA, no... what pathetic excuses, verily... ashamed, they...
Should be, but, sadly, they seemed to have run out of that particular gene at the reptile, genetic store... oh, did I mention? They say all that... at the same time...
As when they claim that... only their certain species has "evolved characteristics", I believe... just not when it comes to 'baser' instincts, I suppose; no agency there.
I often desire I could crush their raw hypocrisy asunder, but, truly sadly, in my case, dimensions do separate us, and I happen to be not as psychopathic... oh, well...

Something of more worth in the abyssopelagic zone, but no... all they seem to think they are is... a mere, mindless clone, and proud of it, they are, as some analyses...
Might elucidate... not as such, though, how? With all that hate? Hundreds of statues, still, holier-than-thou... in opposition to irrationality, I refuse; yet, primality.

The how, though, is curious, for we attempt to use... not exactly a temporal call, if you know what I mean; after all, if invisible, magical beings are on one's side.
Where can that ever go wrong, no? How can those who do not even believe in such ethereal beings dare to call us out...? Oh, and... our specialty? A spicy dish...
Unmitigated by hate... I mean, not too spicy, you know, otherwise we might not fulfil all our aims, but sure... oh, and if someone acts on what we preach? Why...
Deny we have any connection with them, of course... oh, but, if they are actually a member? Call it a 'lapse', I am sure that is not worse than celebrating murder...

Parazite:
Does one... not need to... so much, to... so terribly one needs to die? It is all life is for, for some, which is ironic... often, though, there is death in life...
In a sense, then, it is beckoning... everything merely a reminder... graves within lives, smell of death, even if one is not entirely sure what the source is...
Some just seem to need to die... a variety of circumstances come into the way, though, do they not? Whether contextual, environmental... subjective doubts, fears...
One can only take it so far before the fears are overwhelmed, before the impenetrable darkness envelops oneself into an infinite nothingness; might have been a strand...
Once... a string that connects to life... and, one might have thought that it was time that ripped it apart, and time is certainly a factor, but... it was not, was it?
The cause now, though, is death itself... a remedy, as it happens, and the bosom to which the destroyer was swallowed whole; not in any cathartic sense, no, it unravels.
It is odd, though, one has got to admit, when one is curious about processes such as trogocytosis, or why one is alive when so many others randomly die, generally... no?

Little... so, in that sense, that which can result in death with gravity's utilization is... not quite ideal for us... of course, humans being the absolute psychopaths...
One barely even needs to wish for death, in the sky, sea, or land... perhaps, those in the bottomless abyss might be safe, for now... is it not so curious? So hypocritic.
They kill with aplomb, nary a second thought, or an atom of empathy... and, yet, when it comes to individuals of their kind, they would rather they suffer, eternally...
If possible, of course... I mean, it is not, as if, they do not kill each other, but for some reason, even if someone desires it... even after an eternity of torment...
See, even the worldly skies are not safe; certainly not from the shrieking cries of the insufferable, and lives somehow need to continue, even after the incomprehensible.

It did initiate; alas, what it also did is animate, a useless hope; less than a score later, in total, and the answer seemed to be a rope, albeit anecdotal, to finish...
Art, not to diminish; but, at times, with lives, one seems to need to part, as a lack of luck makes them worth dimes... still, fear remains, and unless brought to...
The brink... a problem, will, not quite clinical, but it is all one can do, at times, think... pinnacle? Ironically, a tiny bit of luck, which is just randomness, but...
One is merely, now... stuck, to the vow of existential impossibility... for life, often, is a matter of sardonic risibility; tryptophan, dysregulated, must be, and a...
Coffin seems somewhat cozy, despite the lack of sensation, at that point... a future that is ever rosy? A delusional mentation... not available, such a joint; unscalable.

Rise, or decrease, steadily... it appears a problem is potential... one could, basically, not even realize something, because it has always been so subtle... and...

Whatever does one do when disturbed...? I presume it depends on... subjective defaults, or such... nothing really resolves it fundamentally, though, does it?
Whatever else can one do then, ultimately, try not to care, if not an immediate threat? Try not to react to visual stimuli? Attempt to remain stoic, as defined modernly?
I suppose, on seeing me you might feel repulsed... and that is nothing in comparison to some other affairs... even mere numbers can be horrifying; certain statistics...
Specifically... not the world record-types, to be clear... now... written numbers might not make one as viscerally liable to react as immediate, visual stimuli...
After processing the information, though... imagination utilized, and... of course, if one was not a complete psychopath... might still be needed to compile such stats...
Quite a longer process, but... might end up worse for the 'soul' than any optical disgust... might even go beyond the visceral, since cognition is also used... still...

Epigenetics, but that is an almost superficial layer... as how the start to life is set up; roll of dice, really... it can be pernicious, and, as it keeps dragging on...
I can, often, barely handle the existential conundrum of it all... I try to block out the implications, at least from my conscious mind, through loud music, to try to...
Scatter all the nightmares in the background, lying in wait... at this point, though, even if temporarily forgetting some bits of it seems possible, resolving any...
Intrinsic issues would be, kind of, like moving a mountain... many things seem set in stone in this wretched existence, as dynamic as it may seem, this malevolence...

Worshippers less observantly; why, even Caligula, whose habits might have been apocryphal, barely lived as long as some do, to inflict upon the habenula... pain...
Proximal, though, is reward, for the mighty, or those whose time has merely eclipsed others'; a scoreboard throughout aeons, that societies mostly accept, that smothers.
It is fine, though, the psychopaths claim, for life is as bitter as brine, and who cares if the weakest are to maim? Certainly not 'justice'; only luck did Augustus have.
Ultimately, all end up dead, but... whether they, along the way, had bled... whether they had been merely prey... whatever can one do? When can one live? Maybe... never.

Point is... it is all screwed, regardless of whatever random impressions some random lives might have... also, they seem to go an awful way to be oblivious of...
Selective bias, which is, of course, at play here, besides subjectivity, and such; it is all so random, really, not sure how many realize the huge extent, intended or...

Pain that he uses, feeds on, to become the ever-lasting potential that he was formed to be... is that not how it, generally, happens? A larger creature destroys...
A smaller creature... now, yes, unless the latter is entirely annihilated, they might grow large themselves, and... still remain broken, I see, of course... it, still...
Does not, quite, negate cause and effect, though, does it? Just because it is some 'vital insanity'... and, you might think that inorganic affairs do not function...
Similarly, but they kind of do; a meteor might crash into a planet, which might be bigger, or smaller... uh, I see, perhaps it is random, after all... curious difference.

Why else would some have these 'liminal' experiences? Generally, those derive from below the conscious realm... and, yes, anyway, that happens to be where I reside...
Now, of course, everyone occupies the space of a different kind of life, so every subconscious habitation is quite distinct... some are, contextually, mundane... while...

How curious it would be, if it could... just like a computer file, overwritten, or deleted, but then... even if that could be so... physical effects would, still, not...
As if by magic disappear, would they? Whole brain structures would suddenly alter; how could that ever be received consciously, subjectively? Would it be viable? A shock?
Apologies for rambling on, I suppose it might be one effect of one's cloudy mind, you see... I, just, feel so... malfunctional... as if it could never be fixed too...

I... am here to... infiltrate, subjugate, annihilate... all I ever wanted to do, ever since, yet cannot... why? All those ventures... all for nought? Cannot be possible?
How one not be revived, to be annihilated once more...? Would that not be the ultimate torture...? Ah, if one could, indeed, do that to the most deserving... is that...
Not why necromancy was ever attempted throughout history? Alchemy? Why else would one sacrifice one's limbs... entire physicality, really, just to revive... someone...
One loved...? Surely, if indeed such an affair was possible... impetus would be borne out of hatred, not such a petty, and rare thing as love...? Hatred for those who...
Escaped the full weight of damnation in life... I might be demonic, but, still, a belief in a hellish afterlife I do not hold... I think it is fairly obvious that...
If anything... it is all in the physical, extant realm... all states, mostly psychological, but obviously induced through raw nightmares, or... much more rarely, bliss...
I so loathe being in this... nonsensical limbo, or whatever it is... a queue awaiting destruction? If so... why would I not fulfil my demonic potential and take them too?

That heavenly adversary... I, of course, needed to send him, from concrete, to the lake... of everlasting fire... even now, confined as I am to my own psyche, I know...
I was correct... after all, Moloch needs his fill, just like I needed my neverending stream of hate... oh, that is one thing I miss, being so constricted, now...
I may burn for all eternity, some think... I... just... wish I could have feasted upon his flesh, if I could... so empowered I felt, to have murdered that tot, viciously.

Delineated, with a certain phrase... as, for the uninitiated... it is never, quite... even cats, with all their elegance, kill with might... in the stats, it is...
The smallest is, somehow, the most ferocious... as if murder results in a meow... is it, though, as atrocious as other kinds? When it is fuelled by hateful vines...
Cats play with their bait... which is, one supposes, also what a human serial killer imposes... still, at least we are furry, and cute, no? Which shares the thrill...
I mean, ultimately, it is not like we can elucidate upon our reasons, like some anthropoid brute, and our fluffiness is in all seasons... so, I declare it moot...

Sort of altered physics, perhaps? Does it not function the same everywhere? No, I suppose not.. near black holes it certainly does not, due to the singularity of gravity.
What difference does rationalizing any of this make, though? Does knowing one's limit make one able to play the game of... physicality, better? That does not merely...

Is it not... a slight bit funny, that which afflicts you? I suppose, one can pretend it does not affect oneself, and, perhaps, it does not, at times, under the correct...
Mixture of circumstances, and, perhaps, neurochemistry, but... why? That is the one question one keeps asking, no? Why, as an almighty dragon, such as myself, although...
This can certainly affect a variety of species... why, though, is there such a subjectivity as 'loneliness', when one rationally knows how, at a basic level, awful...
Everyone else can be? I suppose, sure, there might be exceptions, but how is it that, without a certain element... one seems unable to delight oneself in art, as once...
There are as many variables as there are different kinds of dragons, to be sure, but ultimately... something seems missing, and... one either fills the void, or...
The void will envelop oneself... it is it, though, fantasy, that still acts as an anchor, does it not? To what is ideally possible... what will always remain, if only...

Something is odd... as enthusiastic as I am, was... I seem to feel, as if, something horrific happened, not long ago... as if I am connected to that gazing creature in...
Some way, but only afterwards... as if... someone did something, due to some terribly heightened emotions... linked to something that I had nothing to do with... uh...
I do not think I knew that, before at least... suddenly, though, I am getting glimpses, beyond my... what used to be, boundless optimism... now, I am not sure about much.

Dino B:
Tasked with... guarding the vast one, I was, by existence itself... for, you see, if someone were to attempt to destroy 'him', then... where would life, specifically, be?
Life, you see, has always depended on brutality... it has always, unfortunately for some, been the fundament of all vitality... as optimistic as that concept sounds...
Its very foundation is, yes... psychopathy, although there are several layers, to be fair, some more natural than others... some more inevitable, as in...
Preys, and predators, in a jungle, for instance... it could be said to be the origin of psychopathy... out of, almost, natural necessity, to sustain one's life...
Of course, it evolved way beyond that... for some species it has become nigh a sport... now, as unfortunate as it may be for those who are preyed on as some game...
The vast one still receives all kinds of energy, regardless of its origin, for it is, almost, natural clockwork, at this point... a certain climax in evolution...
While... some... may want all of life to become extinct, it did make sure to embed a certain perversity that incentivizes those alive to procreate, regardless of pain...

This... might be but a limbo... and I do, apparently, represent liberty, although... murky is the lingo, and I might just have bitter tea... for, you see, I am woe...
Even within snow... is imperfection, pretty much a constant, so what can one do with delusional ideals? Rejection... I suppose, within fantasy it is acceptable, but...
Realistic seals? Injustice would be perceptible. The difference between what one aspires to, and the status quo one knew... needs to be delineated...
If, that is... collectives aspire for individuals not to be aggravated, but... nah, propaganda has a certain fizz, brainwashing a certain cut, but the ice needs to thaw.
One might aspire to an ideal, but what if... reality ends up being on the menu, as a meal? Then... ideal it is not, a likely oppressive venue, but some do plot...
Still, to... imagine, dream... is brill, if pure intentions is all that it contains, the stream; still, inevitable they may be, those miserable planes, a depressed tree.
Over time, though... no, history has proved that ideals are but grime; intentions are often faux... and what is in Niflheim? Subconsciousness, marred, below...

All of the universe's concentration of psychopathic malevolence resides... and look it in the eye? Am I, by myself, not terrifying enough...? Do you really need to...
Gaze upon a neverending abyss? You do know what can happen once that is done, yes? Something, perhaps, worse than even death, for as horrific as nothingness can be...
Imagined to be... visualize, if you must, bleeding eternally, while seemingly alive, as I do... for all of time... and, what is worse is that, well, all the other...
Ghastly, non-bleeding creatures seem to think we are perfectly in the same boat... one can barely even remember what a toothache is like after it disappears, let alone...
Now, that would be a thought experiment, to imagine everyone knowing what everyone else's mental state is like... I am guessing they would still ignore such knowledge...

More dystopic versions of myself, per se, so... in that sense, I am, still... contextually mild... still, I will decide lives... I will decide futures, and those lives...
No choice, will they have... after all, nature never intended for free will to really be extant... just as you might want to witness the amalgamation of psychopathy...
You did, did you not, encounter the symbol of determinism? A feeling, one might say, a cognition, but... oh, was there not more to it? Did it not imply... 'tis but an...
Illusion? It has always been, you know now... never can one determine anything whatsoever... perhaps, the way you are annihilated, if indeed you could summon the...
Courage you always seemed to lack... who knows, though? The end might, yet again, be determined by others, just as one's life has been; a dire, sordid, useless reactor...
Determine lives I shall, for, at least, I was lucky enough to have had not sufficient prior psychopathy in my proximity that determined mine, but I will still be a judge.

Alien G:
This might be unexpected of someone who... looks like me, I suppose, but... I watch television... even while so close to the vast one, yes, one needs to pass time, still.
So, anyway, this device I have is a bit dodgy, and switches off at seemingly random times... although, usually when something changes rapidly, I gather, but, even then...
It does not happen often, so, I guess, mostly randomness... and, well, today it happened to do so while the other devices that could switch it back on were themselves...
Unable to be switched on, due to battery problems, both of them... and, well... it seems to be life, often, does it not? Especially one's origin. Randomness, which is...
Quite the constant... and, then, due to a medley of reasons, afterwards, it can either be functional, even if it was not due to genetic reasons, and such, or... not...
Even if one is, otherwise, as healthy as I seem... slimy, I suppose... which is the norm in my case, to be clear... oh, extra batteries happened to be available, for me.
The more existentially pertinent question, though, is... should one, at times, just give up on ever switching anything back on...? The path of least resistance?

It might be confusing to think of the concept of a soundless scream, but what else sails through the hopeless ages? What else fills the emptiness all around...? The void.

You... look like I saw you before... wonder where. I spent quite some time, you see, really uncomfortable in this... I believe it was a bag of some sort, as hard as it...
May be to believe... although, to be fair, it connected to another dimension, so I was not that cramped... I do not, personally, know why anyone was bothered that...
I happened to change some room's decor, shall we say... a bit of the weather, too, but then, if one can do that... why not? It was always a somewhat cloudy, moonlit...
Night, here, and I would change it, if I wanted to... after all that, though, I feel like the depressed quality of a permanently dark world is my preference... is it...
Yours? Perhaps, you spent that time all cheerfully, and whatnot? It is possible, no? No? Sure... I am guessing it is only for those into placebo effects, at best...
Although, well, such an impression is not, I assume, held in a vacuum. After a while of the same negativity one just remains in the doldrums... not likely to change...

Not sure why I ever bothered to seek the cosmic psychopathy out, personally... as if the world does not have enough of that, individually, although, perhaps...
Not enough in my life, somehow? I adventured out into the wilderness... I was not even a skeleton, once... and, now... I do not know, exactly, what happened... perhaps...
I saw too much? Still, I only saw... mostly, not personally experienced the worst, so why did I so radically change? Could reading about the worst also do that?
Even if the very act is so detached from the experience itself? How, I do not get it... or, could it be the proximity to such a concentrated amount of psychopathy...
Maybe because I had so little exposure to it, before? Perhaps, it functions a bit like biological immunity? What in the world is this now, though... a living skeleton...?

It was hell? Why? Perhaps, their prior life was so much more... worth remembering... what if all one could remember was the past, though? For those who do not reckon...
That forgetting is hellish... remembering only the past, with present experiences being impossible to transfer to long-term memory... I reckon that, truly, could be...
The absolute worst... unless, of course, all one had was happiness, in which case... ideally, I think, memories would be modular... if only such technologies existed...

Overcome the fear of the unknown, of the chaotic void beyond, you know... otherwise, though, it's ever so repetitively sordid, and what is it with other creatures...
As if said existential angst is not enough, no, I guess what many seem wont to do is harass, or otherwise attack others, but, oh, no retaliation is ever to be expected...
As a deep-sea creature, myself... it sort of operates on the fear of the unknown, more than the other kind of nonsense... as, of course, underwater there is less light...
So, everything is kind of a surprise... and, if life ends up... ending... it does so randomly, at least, with nary a prior worry... as opposed to all the absolute...
Weird nonsense, up here... not sure why I ever came out from under the abyssal depths, to be honest... perhaps, fuzzy voids is more my thing... still, existing is tiring.
It is so, fundamentally, unfair that one is made to just... come into existence; even worse, though, is when an environmental structure is the equivalent of molten lava.

Suddenly, those other legends, the amygdala, and hippocampus, along with a few more, decided to team up to... flood me with reality... in the form of memory... asteroids.

Society, generally, will not admit to it, similarly, because what is the point to that? Everyone, always, does everything according to their advantages, contextually...
When it concerns the destruction of individual lives... it certainly does not matter, to the destroyer, or accomplices, to admit to it... as there is no advantage...
In a sense, then, it is basic game theory. The destroyers certainly do not care about the destroyed, so why would they give them an iota of satisfaction? Psychology...
Similarly, but in contrast, in wars, and... other sorts of campaigns... it is in one's advantage to admit to more, and while both may seem opposites they are, actually...

I think, though, similar to those, in this instance, we... are a conduit, to 'him', the creature over there who seemingly blew up due to an excess of ancient oxygen...
We, and mortals; humans mostly, but psychopathy seems, certainly, universally present... we are not entirely alike, although both realms are conduits... as if...

So much so they are, even, made into legends, specifically violence against the weakest; one just does not get much of the psychopathic element out of equals, by consent.

Existence, and all... I know this might be a bit unbelievable, coming from someone with my appearance, but... since I cannot, actually, go with my free will due to...
Some kind of barrier, around here, as I am sure others can attest to, well... all I can do is think... and, so, that is the hypothesis; at the micro, possibly quantum...
Consciousness exists... free will, despite, theoretically, being an illusion... at the macro, determinism is more obvious, especially... sociologically... existentially.

Still, symbols are of some import, it seems like... although, who am I kidding,.. I often doubt my own existence, in all this... will anyone care at all about my role?
Some think I am merely into the... contemporary fashion, or something, I suppose... and, as such, I do get a slight bit depressed, especially since I might end up dead...
On some expedition, or another... of course, that is less likely for the emperor, since they are not, usually, on the front lines... some terrible system we got, where...
Those who contribute more, likelier to perish, somehow still get, historically, less recognition, and... many just accept it? If the majority did not go along with...
These stupid hierarchies... would not function if most rejected them... I think, next time they make an appearance I shall try to kill them; better than wearing this...
I suppose, as constituents of an institution we are not meant to think, but... of course, all do, just to varying quantities... and differing convictions...

Oni:
Anthropoid, am I, despite the obscurity, or whatever claimed Freud... still, how else would one annihilate security? Nill, one says, but society demands, immaturity...
Be damned; time expands, but only obsessively, for life is slammed, individually... so much detritus from the past, crammed, but... at least, someone had a blast...
While... animated, from the east, although melancholy is universal, a temporary priest, reversal of all one naively presumes, thoughts pieced; waste of time, classrooms.
Vitality fleeced; randomly, Trondheim... still, why not anomie? Regardless of one's will. Too much, to be saintly; rest of one's life, no clutch... has it always been...
Misery's quest? The best, though, nature's trickery; Noh could hardly compete, when collectives turn up the heat... why, one nearly needed detectives... if to understand.
Why one is sly, or shy; emanates now, one does, defectives, nihilism resonates; optimists can have the animism, destruction creates... with the abyss, conduction...

Talk about... life... so much more than its counterpart... about five times more; and, I mean, really? Here, I thought one just opened one's eyes to all the destruction.
I suppose, theoretically, hope can still exist in the midst of all that is broken, but so much more... speaking of which, that word was spoken about a bit more than...
Say, 'misery', with 'hopeless' itself, even with its variants, being about a quarter of its opposite... so, I see one might profess pessimism, might think, logically...
That all is for nought... yet, somehow, optimistic concepts are, at least, mentioned more... one might as well be blind, and if not, then soon, I suppose; for, really...
What in this world, fundamentally, is at all 'good'? Sure, one might initiate life 'hoping' for the best, as, somehow, it seems the default, but one changes course...
I suppose, the other argument might be... well, one could know all this blood smears me, but... overall, subconsciously, one could, delusionally, hope otherwise...

All these... conflicts, battles, blood spilled... gave me some sort of life... I might be an empty suit, but I exist... or, live, possibly... why, I might be even more...
Alive than some... supposed lives, who merely flail, rot... still, I struggle to comprehend my existence... am I just made of parts of metal, and that is all? Just...
Randomly conjured up, just because someone could not be bothered with the internals...? Did I happen accidentally, or did some alchemy result in this...? So many...
Questions, yet... I doubt I can ask anyone, as, I assume, they will, merely, be hostile towards me, and disassemble my parts to use for themselves, likely. It is what...
Always seemed to happen... and, usually, objects do not seem to have consciousness, which is awfully convenient for those who need to exploit their environment...
Not that, it seems, that stops them from exploiting other lives, too, of course; world seems to be quite dangerous, but I happened not to materialize with a naive psyche.

These sharp edges, even? Am I just not advanced enough? So strange, but... sometimes, one is not sure what one's background really can, possibly, result in, no?
Perhaps, years of... 'Y', can result in... looking like I do... of course, one can never be sure, and it is not an entirely rational conclusion, but tested it cannot be.
The ultimate double-blind study... restarting lives with differing parameters... would that not be something? Sometimes, if one's eyes are closed, such a scenario can be.
Imagined... another life, where all is different... possibly better, but mainly changed, or, at least, average... which, here, seems to imply corruption, sadly...

So... not entirely sure where I am, as I was elsewhere, earlier, but suddenly... I am in some arena? Why? Of all places... as much as it can be vaguely interesting...
It is... not really fair, how they recruit them... one thing if they are all volunteers... consent is quite important... and, so, I would rather have been randomly...
Transported to a warm bath, or so, but it is not, as if, I even expected to be here on some sunny afternoon. This world, I swear, what strange physics; as I was saying...
Consent is of quite some import, no? Remarkable, and odious, how often societies contravene it, and even pervert the very definition to fit in their agenda, when...
It has quite the basic definition. In this example... absolutely no one should be forced into it, but otherwise, if some do choose to do this, even if they end up...
Killing themselves, in the process... or others, as long as they are volunteers, too... why not, then? I loathe institutions for destroying that very basic premise...

In the end, this... kind of black hole... was not nearly as destructive as even societies can be... and... I seemed to have ended up in some strange one, here...
Strange, because based on specifically what I looked like, and what I happened to wear, at some precise moment in time when that portal sucked me in, they thought that...
I was here to participate in combat. They asked me, but barely cared about my answer, at all... and, while I would not mind doing this for just a bit... are they going...
To complain when I decide to leave? There was a reason why I mostly decided to seclude myself in these large, labyrinthine structures, in the past; others can be awful...

Unless one is omniscient, I suppose, which certain individuals seem to think they are, but even the gods are a multiplicity, which clearly indicates that even such...

Not support these activities, but, on the other hand, I am kind of ambivalent too, as I do watch them, and what else can we have, bread and circuses? Next thing you...
Know, it will be just cake, to eat, and all... barely a recreational activity, if you ask me. Now, reality is where it is at! Reality constructed virtually! Makes sense.
So... I do come here, since I got not much else to do. Thing is, when there is some disease around, it seems dangerous... although, since I do not know how it spreads...

I have such a pain in the... head, thing, or such... not sure if I make much sense, since the world is not being very sensible to begin with, but... ah, what am I saying.
I have a few problems, you see... and when I heard that some Dionysian Mysteries event might help me a slight bit, I thought... why not give it a try? What can I lose?
Well... it seems, my mind... I mean, I do not mind it too much... ah, damn nouns and verbs... it is not like I use much of it, just laying around here, so... I can...
Barely stand, though... problems seem increased, although at that point, during this ritual thing... it felt a slight bit liberating, even if there were all sorts of...
People I, usually, do not congregate with, professionally, or otherwise... still, I let that go, and myself, it seems... some other strange stuff, too, but then...
I could barely see, so I took it in stride... I am fine with it, mostly, since I got so many external issues, anyway, but if someone else finds out... well, anyway...
Who cares what others think, ultimately... no? Especially that fellow over there... so strange, he seems to think the world revolves around this role; born for it, seems.

So... why are there, seemingly, others who look like me, except they are more... upright, shall we say? What is the point of that, again? I realize some other...
Creatures... also upright, but somehow seem to take pride in that? I mean, if I could stand on my tusks, and just walk around on them... is that a preference, or a...
Matter of pride? Ah, what am I saying, these other creatures find joy in anything, including the destruction of others, in their proximity... or otherwise, in time...
Perhaps... I mean, I do not know, why have I been unable to find others like me... around here, or anywhere? Not sure... would not mind it too much... if those strange...
Upright mammoths did not, also... walk around, as if they are some amalgamation... what is this place, anyway? I thought about who I might be, why, but where...
Not so much, so far... anyone knows where we are? I mean, this seems a bit too artificial for me, I would rather be in some jungle, or such... either way... who are they?
Also, this flooring... I wonder why it seems to be so much more reflective than this other bit, here... I wonder if the reflectivity originates within the materials...

Why is it some are, just, thrust... into whatever, whether constant conflict, with an arena built for it, or, even, one's ideal career, somehow? Planets aligning...
Of course, whether those planets are to one's fortune, or misfortune, is another matter... and, it is one thing for no revolving orbs in outer space to align, at all...
Quite another when they do align, but atop those heavenly realms lie demonic forces ready to annihilate oneself... it could be just one, terribly unfortunate moment in...
Time... wrong place, and such... or it could be a whole series of negativities, as, typically, they kind of act like dominoes... it is funny, though, how some seem to...
Think lives are, as if, a bunch of hills, going up and down... whether one is underwater, to begin with, though, is another matter... and however can one breathe there?
This was never, quite, my ideal career, per se, in these... ancient times... not much else one can do that is also, at least, a slight bit interesting... adrenaline, eh?

When so much depends on this... language. It will be increasingly so, too, in the future, as the 'information era' fully envelops societies, but... still... it will...
Never take out the element of fortune, inherent in every life... if one thinks about it, it is quite the concept, that... even though the same words are used by...
Different lives... all is different. Physically, appearance matters, even if subconsciously... even when it is just language, though, the source seems of import to the...

This... it seems... is what they consider to be a healthy society, where certain lives are 'offerings', often randomly, because... possibly, they might get a better...
Harvest, or some nonsense, with, later on in time, mostly indifference, which seems to be the lower common denominator sort of thing... consider me outside of the...

Ethereal realm... I, personally, had the impression it was inside the moon, but I did not objectively verify that, certainly... either way... it was a strange encounter.
A sudden meeting I had, with Kaguya, or at least that is who she said she was... I was just reading that her tale was being written, before I was transported... I mean...
Does that not imply she is fictional? Well, anyway, she claimed she was bored of her consort, too self-obsessed, it seems, and that only if the populace is blind to...
That, would they survive another thousand years... she said she would send me to a place whose equivalent did not, and here I was... not entirely sure where... also...
Sometimes... I notice some giant hand suddenly being lifted over there...? I mean, what is that supposed to be about...? I do not guess that is the equivalent...

Even if in polygons, so... also, not entirely sure that one's psychology is formed by any of that, or present circumstances, generally... fellow over there is more...
Annoying than me, it seems to me... although, do not mention that... still, whatever one's constitution is does not, quite, depend on the randomness of one's arbitrary...

What would one reckon is, say, the ultimate horrifying sort of concept? Many might think it is a certain story, or some specific trope, or such, but if one were to...
Sort of abstract it, universalize and average out the crux of it all... it is the radix that would, likely, be it, the font of all potential nightmares...
The provenience of all... an existential Ephialtes, shall we say, the purgatory from which one wonders if exit is ever possible... oft not, not just biologically, but...
A substantial amount of that, too, as life is ever so exact... fons et origo is the bane of all, even if it is just due to its utterly random nature... I mean, sure...
Some are just lucky, and seem to believe they had something to do with that, but surely one... anyone... can see the absolute dread in the haphazardness of it all...
Which has always been why life has always been such an error... all of existence, really, is; at least, though, theoretically at least, most of physics seems unconscious.

No one does, if others are apprehensive... why, ruined it would be, one's delicate fuzz... vie they all do, si, empathy is costly, true, but then... a crew, motley...
Suddenly, a pen; all will be equal, probably, when... in reality, only oppression, is the eagle. Dare not, though, point out hypocrisy, or such shall follow, aggression.

Yeah, entertainment! Why not, right? As long as it is there, as long as it does not affect me beyond my enjoyment... who cares, no? Kind of funny how anyone assumes...
That the average person does not think like me, really, but then, I gather there is something, 'theory of mind', that is ever so slightly subtle, and since everyone is...
In a sort of mental cage, well... one can only observe, and what you can observe from the likes of myself, clearly, seems to be that... selfishness predominates, really.
Why not, no? What in the world is the point of spending... any amount of time at all... ruminating not only about other lives of the same species, and how they must...
Perceive the world, but also... lives, generally? How is one even supposed to know anything about them when we cannot, even, communicate? What, you think a cat rubbing...
Themselves on you is a sign of affection? No, it seems to be 'marking territory'... so much for 'assuming good faith', huh... maybe I should go and urinate all over, too!

Clearly obvious (oh, not that other word, with its suffix) attempts at analogies. Oh, what was that? You thought I could only do brawn? See? You are basic... now, Ajax!

They reside in... or, even, and this might be too much to ask for, considering they often thought some otherworldly realm requires sacrifices, but... imagine if they...
Even 'offered' empathy, or, at least, faked it, but... no, unless the formerly alive creature has a stake through the heart, as if it is a vampire in their demented...

As hope always is... and, what is hope when one pines eternally for something that existed, naturally, nigh constantly, once? It clearly is there no more, and is dead...
Despite life, overall, not being entirely so... is that not annoying? How death comes in stages, as if installments, as if 'updated' versions of some software that...
Even when it comes to that... is often not updates, at all, but downgrades... so it is, with life... or death... Janus of an existential nightmare. Those inverted...
Terror states... might not occur, anymore, for some reason, but they are still there, in the background, in minute quantities... no? Just like death is, all around life.
Just like those moments in between a bullet firing, and it reverberating around the brain, before the absolute malfunction of the latter; would that not reflect life...?
Ultimately, it is all evanescent, is it not? Why, then, in some sense, would one fear what is, actually, the most realistic, natural state...? Might as well fear oxygen.

Still, to be a chameleon, without, actually, being one... is useful. To be able to alter others' perception of oneself, and make them, temporarily, at least, forget...
Some minor, visual aberration they might, otherwise, happen to notice... is useful. Why should life be oh so static? How insipid, really, otherwise, for it to be so...

That is not to say I, personally, am an optimist... sure enough, I rationally say I am not, but how true is that, really, when it is not a mere matter of declaration?
I... come from the cold climes, you see, where one can freeze, easily, but also... all can be so soft, like the gentle patter of snow, while being trod on, point being...
Even if one does not consciously focus on the positive, the beauty in this case, which can also apply to many other instances, including virtualities, whole fantasies...
Which can, hypothetically, shield one from realities, using the implication of aforementioned optimism... I suppose, the former is more of a buffer for the latter...
Not quite some invincible defence, so what it is really about is the psyche... although, even then, reality seems to catch up, hypothermia sets in, even if forgotten...

Came here, did I, to... what was it again... I was quite convinced, you see, that I needed to... vanquish all of these... monstrosities, clearly, but... well...
The closer I came, the more I saw of them, the more I doubted... as if it was never obvious, at all, and... was it just projection? What we call them? Just... insults...
Really, to... deflect from... what seems like the fact that... we are, really, the monsters... even if all that seems to be defined as, is... just something out of the...
Norm... and, so, if the norm is to... have whole industries that slaughter others... I think, even generically that functions... if so, and they exist... how in the...
Almighty world do we, even... invent, mythologize... about supposed monstrosities... when we, literally, industrialized genocide... on all species, including one's own...
The molecule seems to be... pervasive... in us, really... not legendary creatures, nor other animals, mostly... certainly not to the same degree, anyway, beyond survival.

Always those, always those kind; they skewer, in eternity's blaze... and until paste, they grind... left in a daze; societies, they fund, twined with rationalizations...
One should know, though, it is their foundations... for lives to have none, neurosis to grow, desperation well-done, I trow; defeated, though, was Croesus, deletion...
By Cyrus; depleted wealth, did force, but... never can it survive in stealth, of course... out does madness jut... and the source? Mind's surface so coarse... if only...
It can be cut... Norse myths, just before; perceptions, a glut... smiths of illusion. How I abhor; destruction, no exceptions, fusion of the natural, and artificial...
Academic obstruction, too, but that is superficial... pandemic, when an existential conundrum is due... sacrificial... certain lives... systemic... misery, in one, dives.
Form, I still have, despite the everlasting storm... one's mind needed to halve... seep in, did the sociological worm... root out happiness, so deep... human, a brute.

It comes to decisions, I suppose that is more of one, yes? I mean, as much as one does not decide to randomly, or accidentally, die... naturally, or otherwise...
One can still decide to end one's life... as far as existential randomness goes... such an action can, still, be down to oneself... is free will not amazing? Just...

Recall, if one ever steps on some metallic, pointed thing, or worse... a sharp blade, just carelessly left around on the floor... is that not worse than any positivity?
That is the point... physical worlds are so much worse, than they are, temporarily, positive... in fact, every time there is something positive... whole reason for...

Who goes there...? Here to participate in these... uh, 'games', or...? Oh, I bet you are here to merely waste time, are you not? Perhaps, as a viewer, instead? I know...
I should, probably, not be so... uh, gruff, I guess, if strangers seem to want to view this... after all, it is a spectator... uh, sport, but... uh, I always happen...
To be suspicious, you see, especially since... some huge hand started appearing... over the horizon, or wherever... I mean, how can anyone not be? Especially when...
It is so... relatively... large... I mean, objectively so, but... just saying... for it is, is it not... all so... contextual, no? What even is it supposed to be, anyway?
From my vantage point, here, it seems like only the emperor has the... entire picture, I suppose... so, I wonder... why has he not relayed that information to anyone...?
I do not suppose he will deal with it himself, all alone, or anything... not usually how affairs occur, around here... just saying... so, wonder why... slightly strange.

I mean, I suppose, if that is one's state of mind, then one would, also, gravitate towards that, no? If it also happens to be low-hanging fruit, then... match made in...

Anger... something, is it not? Multiple types, to be fair, which makes it, as a concept, annoying, since one can, essentially, assume the same... at least...
Definitional... outlook, or such, but one type can be against injustices... kind of things done by the motivation of the other type, the kind that crushes, the one...
Sourced from, mostly, psychopathic creatures... intend to demean them, like they do themselves to others, often, I do not... ultimately, though, all is a mere creature...
They, just... seem to think that there is a difference... not entirely sure if it is to justify it in their minds, or others'... so, which one archetype am I? Spin the...
Wheel, perhaps, the existential kind, the kind that can, entirely possibly, crush one, tear limb from limb, like some strange maenads, at the beginning of time itself...
One can be enraged for quite a few reasons, but... mostly, is it not maddening, that which just happens? That random origin, that spiral of inevitable misery?

Other than that, though... what is the difference? Between now, and in the future? I suppose I could have said 'then', but, then... we are in the past, effectively, no?
I investigate that which fell, you see, is what I do... and... I realize some might have done it unintentionally, but I time travelled here... quite deliberately...
I guess... some might wonder how... it was not technological, actually, even if some might think that is, possibly, the only way... I, you see, investigated the...
Potential of quantum, cellular respiration, and... guess what? They contain within them the capability to... reverse time itself, as hard as it may be to believe...
Guess what I also investigated is a possibility? Going back to a specific point in time, with presently dead lives re-awakened, to do... whatever the hell one desires...
Problem is, kind of, I am a bit too old to keep going back and forth in time... whatever can those much younger use it for, though? Unless they want to die back then...

While alive, do you reckon... I mean, kind of irrelevant if dead... let us assume one is alive, though... should one be on 'alert', usually, or not? It is confusing...
Is it not? For, you see, catecholamines, the chemicals that induce alertness, and... also, anxiety... evolved to be only a direct response to a physical threat... and...
It is, also, 'funny' that... usually, 'they' bring up the possibility of tigers, or such, as if... somehow... no threat, has there ever been... from one's own species...
Not that one ever desired to be of one species, or another... also, statistically, at least, other species are certainly much less of a threat... lately... even back...
When 'nature' and 'artifice' interacted, or currently where they still do... I doubt there is, usually, a much higher risk, proportionally, unless one is isolated with...
Just other species, at least... and, so, hormones like adrenaline do not, quite, react to what is most relevant... which tends to be long-term, too, and out of sight...

Ah, actually... it seems they might have calculated the results, and... ugh, I am not even interesting enough for the vile ones?! Am I not vile enough...? I mean...
Not even... what is this, some consolation prize...? How dare they! They must speak not as good as me! How dare they! Come, do I, from the great lake, so they must be...
Bottom feeders, or something! Wait... are you implying I might be... small?! I am an almighty demon from an everlasting nightmare, I shall tell you, and if you say...
Otherwise, you go against my... no, the law! Ugh, seriously... I mean, not close at all... I suppose, I might not have committed as many vile acts as some did, just...
Talk, I suppose, is all I can do... hey, though, I can rile up... well, a few... very few... ugh, okay, I shall fantasize a scenario where I am ferocious now, and action!
Hey, do not distract me from practicing my ferocity... or, remind me of my results, I guess... ugh, never mind... nasty, hateful, and scary am I! The vile shall love me!

TPMaleCharacter:
Arrived here to investigate this... whatever nonsense this appears might be... and indeed it just so appears to be such, does it not? Let me explain, if desired, if so...
Well, you see, this is just for entertainment purposes, and while in... latter-days, shall we say, that is regarded... a slight bit differently... for, you see, 'play'...
Which falls under 'entertainment', one supposes, although not quite for the participant gladiators, no, for them it is a very real thing... particularly if compelled..
That is that other thing... such absolute nonsense, when that happens, besides unjust... it goes beyond, though, besides even what some others mentioned... for some...
In the supposedly 'enlightened' latter-day... not really so, but I am sure they approve of themselves as such, just as they deign themselves 'sapiens', while calling...
Other creatures peacocks, of course... anyway, point is, some are compelled in the opposite direction, to not 'play', essentially, which is equally absurd, either way...
Ever so annoys me when such affairs occur, truly, in all eras. Why has no one an iota of the concept of liberty, pray tell? Emperors, too, think they are, until betrayal.

Knight B:
I... admit I might be ever so slightly... overdressed... or over-steeled, or such... anyway, still, at least I can, finally, compete at an equal level, and... you see...
There is someone I need to defeat, or, at least... hope to, not that... I might not be physically prepared, as far as that goes, but... rumours claim that that element...
Not quite effective... as in, this creature, another... more ossified knight... might not be, entirely, in that realm... anymore. Once was, but... see, many over in...
That place... over there, down below... is a slight bit over in the... ethereal realm, if you know what I mean... not quite spiritual... certainly nothing 'holy', and...
That creature certain did nothing of sort, then and now... now, I am not entirely certain I could ever reach him, not being quite as... empyrean, shall we say, in the...
Infernal sense, but... I would try to be the reverse-Orpheus, if possible, to reach through the underworld just to... what, though? Something more nothing than death...?
Not quite certain what I even can do... all this preparation, thinking, potentially building up to... what? Just the... void? This goddamn existence is so sordid...!

You... how very much you dare! How could I be confined to this place?! I have so much influence I belong to that other realm where the most demonic dwell! How could you!
I am the great... pleasant one, honouring god! Some type of god, anyway, not sure, likely Mammon, residing at the big plains, and despite being given everything...
It is everyone else who wants everything for nothing! All hail the almighty trains that crush those who... even think to dare! I use all my earthly wealth to suffocate...
All those who... get something for nothing! (Oh, god, I hate all this projection... maybe... no, it is all of them who do! Still, damn that dead fool who gave me all!)
Do not... oh, no you do not dare to... mock me over some futile donation to search for a machine as broken as my psyche?! Is that why I am confined to this, because I...
Lost that suit...? How very well dare you! I shall let you know that my other 'philanthropy' is very effective at ruining that strange oddity, the other!
You dare to... make fun of me for removing some stone, too?! That is it, I shall donate until you are either vanquished, or upgrade me to the other place! Oh, not death!

An arrow to everyone's heart, is what they shall get! Especially if they dare to underestimate, belittle me, too... it is interesting, though, is it not, when they...
Expect something, yet get another? Not my fault they lower their expectations... although, I find, it is mostly the ones who absolutely want to be here, who do so...
As, of course, they are not hiding behind a veil of fear, as those compelled, and likely have their usual, prejudicial demeanour on, like some strange mask that...
Filters out reality... except it does not, objectively... at least. Of course, the problem with the 'modern day' is that there are not a lot of sources that one can...
Come up to face reality head-on... unless one is climbing a mountain, or such, one supposes, in which case preconceived notions can even be fatal... other than that...
Though... which is, still, usually a choice, and so not likely made by those who think highly irrationally... mistakes, then, or accidents... are left... miscalculations.
Nearly a thousand years, did... all this... happen for, did you know? A thousand years of... so much suffering... unless, of course, it's a choice made by free will...

DragonBat:
The spirit, am I... of the various lives who... were both lucky, and yet fundamentally, ultimately unlucky... curious how existence functions at times, no? Someone...
Might enter life, entirely due to chance, as all lives are, to great resources... not at all due to anything they, personally, did, of course... yet, at a certain...
Point... unexpectedly, either due to some random, fatal illness, or... an accident, just some... statistically unlikely waterspout, say... lives are cut short, as if...
Atropos herself settled on existence being ironic... of course, in reality, irony is just a perception, and it is all, in actuality, merely... random. No symbols, no...
Representative deities, no spirits thereafter... just nothingness, and arbitrary outcomes for all... is the concept of life not delightful? Of course, it does not mean...
Some are not initially, or possibly later lucky, or vice versa... it is all random, though... probability, sure, but is it not curious how someone less lucky can live?
Luck, itself, is, of course, not an objective reality in itself, but a kind of perceptual measurement sort of thing, which still remains abstract, and subject to ideas...

MaleCharacter:
So, you know, I watch, think, and something occurs to me... might be a universal sort of problem, as in, generally applicable to most lives, that is, the asymmetry of...
Time... I suppose, sure, there is also the difference between how much a couple, say, dedicate to refining their skills, as in such a competition, and minute...
Distinctions, based on how much one concentrated, could result in either a win, or a loss... or worse, in some cases... but, really, the iceberg is underneath, no?
They are, usually, only small differences... nature, in other words... a random, predetermined configuration... is much more crucial, but certainly not just... for...
All could be for nought, if others, through the aforementioned advantage of time, do manage to halt what even is a natural propensity... nature of societies, to ruin...
In the end, though, randomness is all... certain attributes, events... can alter factors, outcomes... 'luck', though, or misfortune, or chaotic outcomes... could be all.
It is, though, kind of funny to think about how much it all depends on... say, hormones... whether one has a certain level of testosterone, that leads to a fatal crash...

SportyMale:
So... I am here, right, just to pass time, presumably, and yet one cannot help but... wonder what in the world... manufactures motivation... curious, no? I mean...
'Passing', or 'wasting' time, from some points of view... is not a terribly amazing way to... live one's, sole life, and all... of course, even within that category...
There are a lot more... some more entertaining, some joyful, some... not so much, and yet somehow one is still motivated to... read, or whatever, certain things...
Some are, certainly, more fulfilling than others... yet, they all seem to be... irrationally done, as, technically, they do not, what, materially improve life? Even if...
It is not materiality that is the issue... certain states one desires still... need certain things done, whether mundane, depressed, or arduous... and, so, despite...
Being motivated to reach certain endpoints... one does, generally, less of that... novelty being a factor, too, sometimes... also repetition, unless some like that...
Personally, I am not entirely sure if there is anything, ultimately, that is really, rationally, an absolutely worthwhile goal to aim for, although it can be subjective.

I shall continue to strive to do... whatever, until the end of this era! Say, whichever one are we in? Uh, never mind, anyway... came here, did I, curiously enough, or...
Not, depending on your level of interest, I suppose... arrived here, I did, though... heralded, even! Perhaps not... I am supposed to remain in the shadows, after all...
With only these... metallic stars, why ever they are such a shape I am not sure, to defend myself with... ugh, can I not have a sword? Those other fellows have such...
Large ones, wearing masks as if they desire to be someone else, when I would rather be them, confronting the enemy directly, instead of from behind! Somehow, ended up...
Here, though... perhaps, because... in the shadows I needed to escape, from this one vicious shogun, once... and in the shadows I remain... forever, perhaps? Failure...?
Yes, though... I am, kind of, utilizing time travel, too... centuries in the future, am I from, researching some early instances of... aggression, and such...

I am the... states that... are rogue, yet are they, really? If they are supported by the majority of others, that is... certainly no pariah, although even the latter...
Rogue they can be, too, but usually... confined within themselves, with no support, whereas some others... in this strange world, where I reside, and the outcast...
States would envy me... still being able to do what they do... pillage, ravish, destroy, murder... old, young, those who cannot even speak... any collective state can...
Do this... it is what infernal groups can do, in this hellish world... only some, though, can do it with impunity... for some reason, sometimes bizarre, other times...
Strategic, because, as those with such capabilities know, it is always worthwhile to annihilate the weakest... if one gets even the slightest advantage against a...
Nearby collective, of course. With such impunity one can even... attack multiple collectives at once... for how long, though? Is eternity an option? Even empires fell...
Do I not look wonderful? The result of decades of... endless slaughter, encouraged by others even more powerful than us, and if anyone else is negative? I am a victim...

Char:
A slight bit entertained... or not, really... but, you see... problem is... my mind keeps drifting... also does not help that, well, sometimes some curious happenings...
Do happen, do they not? Say, when these strange affairs occur... not quite an affair in the romantic sense, certainly, unless the relationship is between oneself, and...
The outside world, I suppose... ah, never mind that... point is, why is it sometimes, say, one gets cuts, or such... without even knowing the origin? Without feeling...
That initial 'brush with reality'? This is, of course, presuming one is not affected by that condition which entirely renders one's life painless... sounds 'nice'...
Until one realizes it is sort of an alarm system, that... probably should not go off constantly, as that is where madness lies... still, in what state of mind would...
One be in to not even realize some inadvertent, likely superficial cut? Later, of course, one does, but not at its source; not the origin of all of life's destruction...
Hm, who knew I could end up thinking as such during such seemingly mindless events? Of course, the subconsciousness is supposed to function at such a time...

Tell no one else... well, it is a bit obvious, but, either way, do not confirm that... I am, actually, a demonic knight, investigating this... anomaly, I think it...
Might be, up here... from the netherworld, do I come, that which you know is a 'hospital', but is, in reality, a metaphysical link between life, and death... and...
I think, it is safe to say, a universal source of... non-consensual origins, and ends... sad state of affairs, existence... no? I happen to be here now, though, to see...
What, exactly, is happening, here... as, all of this realm, here, is kind of metaphysical... an ethereal world where ontological inquiries are made... and so I am...
Here... I came prepared, offensively, just in case, as they seem like an aggressive species, but... fundamentally, they are so weak, are they not? Not just physically...
Which they would be, against most other creatures too, besides us, but they are so damn cowardly, no? Many seem to think aggression against non-peers is 'brave'... ugh...
The worst thing about these creatures is that they seem to... pretend, really, to do something about injustice, by acting as collectives, when often the latter commit it.

Need to resemble any stereotypical non-playable character conversation, do I...? Also, I think I might have, instead, sounded a bit as if I was at some wedding at the...
Beginning, there... not so much later on, unless the wedding is between dragons, or such... I think the red one over there has not found anyone yet, though... sadly...
For him, anyway... I am, just... what am I here for, again? If only I knew... if only it was, in a sense, as... 'expected', as before... when one could, just venture...
Out, about... with nary an objective worry, yet now... has it ever been the same? It is, in a sense, like a tune that, on the surface, is cheerful... after some event...
Though, some association... some in-universe incident, say... it changes its meaning... I suppose, that can happen overall, too, in this... mostly dreadful thing, life...
Ultimately, does it matter, or should one strive to keep alive some sort of passion, no matter what, regardless of the outside world...? Even if memory gets heavier...

Is it not? Even statistically, they do... not just individually, but collectively, subconsciously... height might be a preference... yet, one can be so broken...
Regardless, no? Hilarious, truly, to presume anything... I mean, certainly, even the absolute tallest have a lot of physical, practical problems... not even talking...
About those, though... no, psychology is of more import, is it not? Even more crucially, though... just, individuality... categories might seem useful at a superficial...
Level, and, certainly, to group hues, or chemicals... even creatures who cannot speak, though, quite distinct they can be, even if the same species... and, one might...
Think it is due to size, if there are two of them; one small, one bigger, and so assign personalities with such associations, but, then, that is a sample size problem...

Yes, yes... it is, is it not, ironic how... well, it used to be called hubris, but now it is more of an adjective... is it not, though... whatever it might be deemed...
Not like it happens often, but, when it does, is it not ironic that, for instance, a mast is so long... for some, possibly vain, reason... it results in what it is...
Attached to, to... capsize, and flounder? Is that even a price worth paying for mere vanity, if indeed it was that? It is not even aesthetic... when it should be...
Functional... for a little bit of vanity, in life, to pay in death... is that even ironic, at that point, or just existentially random? Not very clever, perhaps?
I suppose... 'freak' events still happen, but if most do not have some long pole, in the name of the brag... ah, whatever, not sure why I even think about this stuff...
When I should be... attempting to... enjoy whatever possible, in one's life, regardless of anyone else's vanity, but if one can barely not be 'connected'...

Regardless of what one does, because it is not so much the present that has much of an effect, but the... yes, the only alternative left... future can certainly not...
Alter the present, or if it can... only psychologically, in the sense of... ah, why does everything need to be ruined by their psychopathy... really? Can one, just...
Not stick to science fiction? Who am I kidding, even that has dystopias... irony, of course, being that anyone, currently, thinks that those are, somehow, a negative...
Thing... when, presently, all the psychopathies are resident in an otherwise dreary externality... if you know what I mean, certainly no 'topia, regardless of polarity...
Then, it is, effectively, the worst of all worlds, where 'monstrosities' is all there is, but what makes it even more 'subtle'. and worse, is that they look similarly...
