I don't gotta be a monster ta do that!!

[It's basically what he said it's fine ]

[vogelfrei]

Mhm... but being a demon did help.

[ He's seen you reclaiming the word and he likes it. ]

[goei]

Some fancy prince type fallin' fer the demon that was trying to kill him sounds like the premise fer some trashy romance novel.

[But he's not complaining.]

[cirquedesang]

...So does a werewolf and a vampire, come to think of it.

[They're all trashy romance in here--]

[vogelfrei]

Huh. You're right, we really chose some interesting set-ups.

Looking at all of us, Izou and I might as well qualify as ghosts or zombies so... There's theming here.

[ Which is a better way of thinking of it than acknowledging he's the only human!! ]

[goei]

[Huh yeah, McGillis really is a ghost technically speaking.]

I wonder if you could be summoned as a heroic spirit. Then I could see that big robot of yours.

[vogelfrei]

[ H u h. ]

Well, I'm probably of a similar level of historic relevance to you - but not to your world, or at the very least not for another few centuries.

[ Fascination with the how is currently still overriding disgust with the idea of the what. ]

[goei]

Well Fujimaru's summoned people from Lost Belts, and those timelines technically don't even exist anymore. And there's definitely a couple people around who're from the future. Apparently it's possible because of how the throne's outsidea time.

[vogelfrei]

[ ... h u h again. ]

Interesting. There's a variety of reasons that make heroic spirit existence thoroughly unappealing, but it's a fascinating hypothetical nevertheless.

I'd be able to use Bael like that?

[goei]

Uh huh. You'd probably get put in Rider class, same as Odysseus and all those pirates that summon up their ships.

I mean that Iskandar guy summons a whole army with his Noble Phantasm.

[vogelfrei]

[ Bael.............. ]

The abilities of you heroic spirits are still beyond my usual sense of logic but... good to know.

[ BAEL................... ]

[cirquedesang]

[Monster Mash real--]

...Well, for now you're still human, no?

[For now.

But he's mostly just testing the waters to see if McGillis makes a face at being the resident Normal Guy in the room, honestly.]

[vogelfrei]

[ He won't, sorry. He's unfortunately pretty pokerfaced most of the time.

But also... ]

That's a very foreboding way of phrasing it.

[cirquedesang]

[Fair enough!

But he will also gesture to encompass... well, all four of them, but he's mostly meaning the three nonhumans.]

You are rather spoiled for choice, should you decide you no longer wish to be.

[vogelfrei]

[ ......................... ]

By the standards of my world, I have already thrown away a large part of my humanity. Don't tempt me for the rest of it.

[cirquedesang]

If mentioning it is enough to tempt you, there's little more I could do to make it worse.

[vogelfrei]

Oh come on, it's hard not to engage in thought play. You ought to understand!

[ Who HASN'T imagined themselves as a fucked up terrifying demonic being of some kind!!! ]

[cirquedesang]

[He's spent ninety years imagining himself as a fucked up cryptid, McGillis, he's definitely on the same page, here.]

Well, in that case...

[Let him just tempt you a little more.]

My shadow was given just a taste of what I am capable of with my powers, and there are still those who think what I can do is child's play.

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Look, he knows Celeste is kidding around, but... ]

Uh, don't choose werewolf. There's a super high chance I would just eat you instead. Like, literally eat you, and not in a sexy way.

[vogelfrei]

I won't, don't worry.

I'm slowly coming around on Fenrir, but I don't think I am in that much of a hurry to lean into the wolf aesthetic.

[ And he does not want to be literally eaten. ]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ There's a relief. Phew. ]

...okay. Okay, good. I mean, you wouldn't even get immortality like with a vampire or a heroic spirit, so it'd be a worse choice, anyhow.
