foreverphantom | JIAOQIU

A spirit that possesses bodies.

[ he sounds exactly like the one heliobus that jiaoqiu has met it's so funny, it's the only reason he's saying it ]

This is a much different death than you're used to, then?

...oh. Well then in that case, yes, that's not too far off.

Normally by now I would've left the body behind and returned to being a ghost. But I guess this time they wanted to find more creative ways of making me suffer.

You must really hate your form if this is suffering.

I'm dead and I don't even get the benefits that come with it.

And I'm still stuck looking like a weak child.

I'm going to be very disappointed in how old you actually are, aren't I.

[ glares ]

Silence is such a resoundingly loud answer.

Is there anything you enjoy, then?

[ looks off to the side, glaring at nothing ]

...not anymore.

[ hmmm. silence, for a moment. ]

I understand. [ simply. genuinely. ] Would you be interested in trying to find something?

[ hunches in on himself a little bit ]

I doubt there'll be anything.

That sounds like you're letting those who torment you win. [ he settles his arms behind his back, folding them. ] I'd find something out of spite, if I were in your position.

[ yeah, you've got his fuckin number already. he unhunches a bit, tentative. ]

Maybe. But that's...easier said than done.

[ sometimes insight is the only thing you're good at ]

Hmm. Well, you like destruction, it seems. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[ scoffs ]

For all that I can even manage to destroy at all, limited like this.

You certainly wreaked havoc on my knives.

[ since when are they your knives, jiaoqiu ]

There are some foods that explode spectacularly when you hit them with something solid. Have you ever splattered a watermelon before?
