Details
Prior to arriving here, I was a new demon applying myself to learn everything I could about Hell and its rules as well as demons and the games that they play among one another. Prior to that, I was human—a student in school.
Anything else you want to know about me, you will have to ask me yourself.
Regardless of whether I’m here or in Hell, my goal is the same: I want to learn everything I can about this place and its people, and then I want to utilize the rules and rewards of the Game to best benefit myself. I want to discover what it means to become “powerful” in this place, and I plan on collecting cards and climbing ranks in order to do so—and on my own terms.
Determination and adaptability.
I’m interested in anything thrilling, frightening, or mysterious. Beyond that, I’m willing to try any number of new things, though I typically tend to focus on whatever is capturing my interest at the time. As for food, I would say that my sweet tooth is comparatively underdeveloped—I tend to prefer savory food, though I would be happy to share sweets with another.
What’s most important to me is that it’s someone who accepts me and loves me for everything that I am.
…Though, if he’s attractive, that would certainly be a bonus.

10. ROUGH SEX OR GENTLE SEX
Both have their place, I think…
INTJ-T

I feel like there's a difference between something that can poison you and something that can exorcise you...
And, I mean, I'm pretty sure I've eaten things with salt in it since becoming a demon. What exactly are you planning on doing with it?
no subject
there's probably a priest here
or a shaman
if there are no other demons to take care of you here you've got to know your own body right?
that means knowing it limitations too
if salt's a no go we can test other poisons
[when did this become about poisoning him]
no subject
I know plenty of its limitations! There's just no one in Hell trying to exorcise anyone.
I could tell you what would happen if you poisoned me without having to test it.
( you know, assuming his body still works here the same way it'd worked in hell. which there's no guarantee that'd be the case? )
no subject
✨✨✨✨✨
dont spare any gross details i'm experienced
no subject
in a way. )
Well, demons can't die permanently from things like that.
So, depending on what poison it is and what dosage I'm given, I will probably get sick or die the same as any human would. But then, after some time, I'd come back.
...Probably.
( he's seen it happen a few times at the brothel. )
no subject
like would your dead body still be around?
don't tell me you despawn like FPS enemies
[he's imagining this very human-looking demon laying on the ground and then flickering out of existence; maybe with a coin sound effect in the background]
no subject
It wouldn't "despawn."
( this answer took a little more time; he seems to parrot aak's game terminology with extreme derision. )
If it still existed, even in pieces, I'd just come back to life.
If it had been destroyed somehow... I don't know. But I know I'd come back, somehow.
no subject
[What an unscientific explanation! Makoto doesn't have the force of personality to convince Aak that it just works or that the answer should be outside the realm humans can understand. Like, he's a rookie demon. He's suggesting people can just become demons in some way, shape or form. If Aak were in that situation, well, he wouldn't be able to contain his curiosity!]
[... although, in most of his tests, he did know what the intended effect was. It's harder to confidently say you would kill someone "innocent" without knowing if they could return.]
[Then again, it's a demon, how innocent could it be?!]
so for devoting ALL your time before this to learning about demons you didn't get much did you
no subject
the only thing he'd learned was the strict rules of names and hierarchy, and they don't seem to even matter here, so what good was that, even! )
So, if you were in my position, what would you have done differently?
You know. To be less "lame."
( he feels like he's being picked on again. it's not pleasant. it's kind of exactly what he asked not for?? )
You can believe that, if you want.
Anyone can be a potential upstart threat to their rank, so demons are not generous teachers. Everything I learned, I had to learn the hard way.
( and, considering what he's gone through, he doesn't really like the insinuation that he'd been idle... )
no subject
with demons being so harsh i just figured you'd have seen someone that kills a normal guy up close and personal
or had it done to you
but hey! good for you only dying once
[He won't accuse Makoto of being a suck-up or demon's pet to have achieved that. If demons were anything like gangsters then you could be cooperating your life out there and still get your lights knocked out. If humans could become demons, then there had to be some demons out there stupid enough to kill a golden goose.]
no subject
anyways, to all of that: )
I've had my head ripped off of my body, like, three times at this point. What more do you want?
no subject
lead with that next time!
[Admittedly, with the topic jumping from exorcism to poisoning to now it's lot like a story of sheer physical brutality fit in. Aak would argue that when he asked for gruesome details, though, that's totally an invitation to talk about being beheaded like three times. Aak would argue a lot of things. He's got high school "i'm just playing devil's advocate" written all over him.]
really put it on your profile it's a way better ice breaker
no subject
( this guy is aggravating... and, admittedly, he hadn't thought to bring up the beheading because they were talking about things that would kill him, and because of the weird way his body is, it's just not really in the same category. )
What? Where?
As a talent?
( he means this as a scathing sort of joke,, and yet,,, )
no subject
only if you were willing to show it off [in spirit, there would be a winky emoji here]
but it's not like everyone's gonna know what a demon is and what they're capable of
it'd answer another question right away!
no subject
I know I can do it, but it's really painful either way.
( that, and there's a small chance he will make a mistake when removing it, which would cause the nerves to sever in a way which would paralyze his body. and then he'd basically be completely helpless until someone else sewed him back together. ugh, that would be so embarrassing... )
Well... maybe I want them to think that I'm potentially capable of more than what I'm actually able to do?
no subject
well
step one would be to not post that anywhere
[Like, now he's got reason to doubt anything Makoto's telling him. He's a rookie demon that wants people to overestimate his abilities. Not that Aak was building an atmosphere of trust anyways.]
"I'm a Demon I Could Do Anything"
although
that would probably get even more people in your messages
hehehe
no subject
( ...
...
...
hm )
You think it would?
no subject
yeah
at least way more than
[copy, paste]
"I don’t really see myself as having any particular talents."
no subject
I didn't know what else to put at the time!! I just wanted to leave, and they were forcing me to finish it, and they were being really annoying about everything!
( and, truth be told, it's how he feels. the only thing he can remember being praised for as of late that had been under his own volition had been when he had summoned J; he'd acted like it'd been something impressive for such a young man, reading a ritual from a book he'd found, to do. )
But lying there isn't exactly going to be very useful for me. If someone asks me about it, it will just make that obvious.
no subject
[he's not denying being part of the problem]
yeah it'd be a real mess to keep up a big lie
little lie or a vague lie are easier
cos demons shouldn't be honest right?
no subject
( were they in person he would give aak a positively venomous glare )
Not unless it's for a specific purpose.
( like endearing oneself to another for personal gain. or for unleashing a devastating blow to strike at one's composure. regardless, makoto for the most part knows this and would likely have to work on his profile a little bit later, but... )
You're being surprisingly helpful now.
no subject
like a logic puzzle or something
[For Makoto it's a real balancing act he's had to maintain in a life-or-death-or-death-or-death situation. For Aak it's a fun hypothetical. He can step back and log off at any point. He can say he'd solve it any way and he never has to put his money where his mouth is.]
i can go back to being not helpful if you want
:3
no subject
( whether you decide to be more helpful or not, aak, makoto's already-scarce patience is dwindling down to nothing here...
i mean, you never even gave him a checkmark or an x, what tha hell )
no subject
[look, if a system's going to allow prolonged messaging without choosing one or the other, that system's going to be exploited]
[from the point of view of the system, though, they must consider this successful. why talk so long with someone you wouldn't fuck?]
good luck finding your identity and all that junk!
