[From user: dreadsexy. Interesting choice on Pidonus's part.]

Hey, this is Pidonus Marasia. I'm trying to figure out my goals and motivations and such a bit while I'm here, because the more I'm reviewing the situation, the more likely it is that it's gonna be quite some time before we find my world and I can return to my Queen. So, I gotta come up with motivations for myself,
I guess? Other than, you know, the dungeons. Which have some very weird loot, to say the least...

Anyways! I'd kinda like to try and get some, well, minions for myself. People willing to let me influence their minds into long-term servitude. Key word there is willing, because as quite a few people here have emphasized, it'd be a mistake for me to just take people's wills with my seductive powers.

Of course, anyone who would voluntarily agree to being under my spell is someone with clear and very severe issues. Like, if your mindstate's bad enough that "under the maniplation of a Succubus" qualifies to your own perception as an improvement... I mean, whatever floats your boat I guess, but I'm pretty sure in some cities that would legally qualify you as 'kind of insane'.

So, uh... What does that leave? I genuinely don't know. I'm. Sorta new to the whole 'need to have my own motivations' thing, and the Chaotic and Evil subtypes unto themselves don't do a lot for giving me ideas.

You'd be surprised what people would agree to if they have no motivation beyond basic survival, and sometimes not even that. [He's thinking of his own depression, when at times it was only with Macy's encouragement and assistance that he could get out of bed to take care of himself.]

Not that I think there's anyone here who's currently that bad.

Yeah, that and the more extreme case of repressed suicidal tendencies are what I was talking about. I'm not a therapist by any sane measure, so...

[stormkingofshepherds]

I don't think anyone here is. I think Macy might be closest to that as a service Pokemon, and even she's trained mainly to help me.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Let's hope we don't get anyone with that sort of issue, then.

[stormkingofshepherds]

Yes. [Good thing pauses don't show up in text! Except as taking a while to reply.] Or at least that whatever new arrivals show up next time do include a therapist.

[have_hat_will_travel]

With our luck, I doubt we'll get THAT anytime soon...

[stormkingofshepherds]

I fear you're right about that.
