[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.

Yes, that's in the 'part of the problem' range. My power doesn't offer a particularly obvious way for someone to back out once they've consented to it, except for me cancelling it or me telling them to do something so against their nature the cognitive dissonance makes the influence too obvious.

Normally, my kind aren't supposed to care about that... But I do. Which is weird for my kind...

[riderofcharlemagne]

Having some kind of conscience about it is a start...if you feel bad about it, you probably shouldn't do it right?

[have_hat_will_travel]

If only it were that easy. Having a conscience at all is weird for my kind,
for one. For another, my mind's weighing my desire to be moral and not suffer, against my desire to have a bunch of fawning minions in hot outfits of my regularly-updated choice. And the latter voice can be quite a strong one, because of the whole Succubus thing.

[riderofcharlemagne]

Please try to avoid the temptations of the sexy outfits.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Right...

[You can almost hear the 'but they're sexy' protest. Almost.]

[riderofcharlemagne]

Don't do it

[You can almost hear his frustrated sigh. How does he always end up around these types?]

[have_hat_will_travel]

I won't do it...

[riderofcharlemagne]

Promise!!!

[have_hat_will_travel]

I promise not to use my charm or suggestion powers to manipulate anyone on the station, unless they're explicitly willing and I can prove it well before doing anything, or in self-defense or the defense of others.

Fair?

[riderofcharlemagne]

Well...I guess, but...

You know some things are better kept in private? Have you ever heard of 'public indecency'?

[have_hat_will_travel]

I've had city guards try to arrest me for it like six times. All six were specifically part of plans made by my Queen, so I had to talk and charm my way out of the situation. Except for the one where being arrested was part of the plan. I never did actually figure out why.

[riderofcharlemagne]

Then you understand why you can't have sexy outfits in public, right?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Maybe not that sexy. But you can pull quite a bit with creative excess.

[riderofcharlemagne]

...how creative are we talking?

[have_hat_will_travel]

My own uniform is enough to not qualify in many jurisdictions, maybe after switching to plainer undergarments.

[riderofcharlemagne]

I don't need to know about the plainness of your undergarments, Pi.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Hey, you asked. Fufufu~

[riderofcharlemagne]

I did NOT!!!!

[have_hat_will_travel]

... It's beside the point. Not that I'm sure there ever was one, now. Other than 'how is the demon who's supposed to be super-confident in all things such a mess', I guess.

[riderofcharlemagne]

I was never really surprised by you being a mess.

[have_hat_will_travel]

I should probably be a lot more depressed at realizing I'm not surprised I'm a mess, either.

I never exactly had time for proper Succubus training.

[riderofcharlemagne]

Maybe with having less training it'll be easier to help you?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Or maybe with more of it my overall mental state would be more sorted out...

[riderofcharlemagne]

You'd probably be more messed up in that way that you don't ever seem to notice...

[have_hat_will_travel]

That... What?

[Astolfo's probably not wrong.]
