First Resurrection [Audio]

[shaper_of_things]

This world has again brought forth my mating cycle. As it is happening again upon the same day of your short human year, I believe once again it is false, though the need is true.

I therefore offer a challenge to any strong males of this world. Show me your strength and receive the honor of mating with me. Weaklings will be killed should they accept. I will accept nothing more than the best.

I await your responses.

No killing weaklings, Illyria.

[shaper_of_things]

If they challenge me, they do so at their own risk. I do not take mating as such a fickle matter as some humans do, Knight-King.

[externalmonologue]

I am well aware, Illyria.

Must I prove myself to you in order to not push the matter?

I believe I've done so before, to both of our satisfaction.

[shaper_of_things]

I am well aware of your strength. I need no further proof. Though if you are offering, name a location.

[externalmonologue]

When you've finished, come to my quarters. I'll send Armadimon out, and hide the fragiles.

I expect we'll still break things, but that's half the fun.

[shaper_of_things]

I shall be there and we shall see just what we can destroy.

Killing seems extreme for people not able to put up a decent performance BEFORE the "mating", to be honest.

I'd think killing in general is extreme for your opinions.

Well that too, but I'm meeting half way here.

Re: [Audio]

[shaper_of_things]

I will mate with no one weaker than myself. Strength in the genetic material is something I will not forgo. If they challenge me, they do so at their own risk.

Re: [Audio]

[straycatgunning]

I... don't think strength has anything to do with genetics.

Re: [Audio]

[shaper_of_things]

Ones strength is passed on through their genetics. My offspring must be strong and therefore I need a strong mate.

Re: [Audio]

[straycatgunning]

Are we talking about your genetics or genetics in general?

Re: [Audio]

[shaper_of_things]

My genetics and the ones of my potential mates.

Re: [Audio]

[straycatgunning]

...Uh...you know what, nevermind.

Re: [Audio]

[shaper_of_things]

What thoughts dance along your mind?

Re: [Audio]

[straycatgunning]

Mostly me trying to recall my high school biology class to think if you're right about strength being genetic.

Oh and the killing people thing, reiterating that's pretty extreme.

Re: [Audio]

[shaper_of_things]

Strength comes from discipline and diligence. Also, the parents broods share their strengths. Strong mates bare strong children.

Re: [Audio]

[straycatgunning]

Okay but what if said offspring isn't strong?

Re: [Audio]

[shaper_of_things]

I discard them.

Re: [Audio]

[straycatgunning]

...uuuuh

...errr

Re: [Audio]

[shaper_of_things]

Offspring must be strong or they will perish anyway.

Re: [Audio]

[straycatgunning]

...This conversation has gotten really dark really fast.

Re: [Audio]

[shaper_of_things]

You disagree?

Re: [Audio]

[straycatgunning]

I don't think you're going to find a lot of people that agree with you on that, actually.

Re: [Audio]

[shaper_of_things]

Humans grow connections and emotions for their offspring; coddling them even if they are weak.

[doesntneedarmor]

Just how many potential suitors do you kill each time?

[shaper_of_things]

Hundreds. Many demons flocked to me in my last time of mating. I slaughtered them all.

[doesntneedarmor]

Every time I talk to you i'm reminded how glad I am you're on my side. Even if right now I'd be too...distracted to fight properly.

[shaper_of_things]

You would seek to battle me for a chance to mate?

[doesntneedarmor]

I'm still trying to figure that out. It's...not normal. At least not where I come from.

[shaper_of_things]

In my time, demons took whoever they wished as their mates as long as they could prove their worthiness. It did not matter ones supposes sex. It was our desires that drove us.

[doesntneedarmor]

And when was the last time you had...release?

[shaper_of_things]

The last time his world brought about this feeling, one human year ago.

[doesntneedarmor]

It's been...longer for me. These viruses only prove to make me..uncomfortable. And even more uncomfortably open about it.

[shaper_of_things]

Perhaps you should follow your desires. They are within you for a reason.

[doesntneedarmor]

I suppose. But that reason is...different then normal. It's the gods doing.

[shaper_of_things]

My urge is brought on by this world as well. But resisting it shall only hinder you.

[doesntneedarmor]

You make an excellent point...

[shaper_of_things]

Of course I do. Now find one to lie with and enjoy the pleasures of the flesh.

[locked]

[whoisslade]

An interesting challenge.

By what strengths would an elder god judge by for such a honor?

Re: [locked]

[shaper_of_things]

Intelligence, physical prowess, and stamina. If I am to bear offspring, the next generation must be stronger than the previous.

Re: [locked]

[whoisslade]

As I expected. I've been watching you for some time now.

It will be an honor to prove myself worthy.

Re: [locked]

[shaper_of_things]

You have been observing me. Very well. We shall test your strength.

Re: [locked]

[whoisslade]

How could I not? You walk among the worms of this world like a common being when you should have the respect you deserve. So far what respect you have comes only from your power, not your status. Not what you are inside.

But I know better. And you are right to only demand the best.

Where should we meet so I may prove myself to be exactly that Goddess made flesh?

Re: [locked]

[shaper_of_things]

I will be waiting in the room of training inside the Green One's domain, the Hyperion. Come find me. We shall see if your strength is as powerful as your insight.

Re: [locked]

[whoisslade]

Of course. Five minutes from now and I will either perish, or prove myself. Either way? You will be pleased.

As it should be.

Re: [locked]

[shaper_of_things]

Of course.
