[ Angel's feature's flicker onto the screen, black-eyed, black hair, those strange blue markings that adorn her body down her left side and right horn, that telltale hint of fur that appears across her shoulders, her neck, collar-like. Decidedly, completely, not human. ]
Hi. There has never been an easy way to have this conversation so I am just going to jump into it. I'm a monster. [ Her long ears flick, pricking to sound, her chin resting in the palm of her hand. Her thick, black claws that come to flat ends tap against her cheek. ] It's a long, long story. But the sum of it is pretty straight forward, there was a God. She took people like this place takes people, she turned us into things. I became this. I wasn't always this, nor was I chosen for any grand reason. But now I am capable of smashing through concrete with one kick, I can lift ten or twelves my own weight, and I weight a lot, despite my size.
But that and the horns isn't why I call myself a monster. I'm a monster because I crave human flesh. I can and have eaten living people. I didn't get a choice about it. I can sate it when things are good. Raw meat of animals will do the trick. But, if I put it off any meat at all long enough, the hunger becomes ravenous, and I get taken over by this... this rage and hunger. I might - care for you, want happy things for you. But when I am like that? I'm not your friend. I'm not human. I'm not... not me. I can manage it, but this place just wiped my memories for a few days, so I can't make that assurance it will never happen.
So this is my permission. The day that happens, and you can't trap me or stop me, you can put a bullet in my head. I won't cling selfishly to a life where I am hurting someone to fuel myself. I'll only regret it when I come out of it. If it's me or someone else, I'll always pick for someone else to live over me hurting someone just because I am like... this.
[ She clears her throat, because what else is there to really say? So just... ]
... Do you think Tequila is bad for the Reindire? I keep feeding them mine.

[ I mean, not that she's in any position to judge, after the way she was acting last week... ]
no subject
... That and I might be a little confused about what might be too much for other people. The planet I come from...
Well, I might eat people, but at least I don't wear their children's skin as party hats.
no subject
that sounds like something out of a hellraiser sequel
and not one of the good ones
no subject
They're called skin pizza parties. They like to wear faces. This is usually the point people ask me to stop talking.
no subject
its probably horrifying in real life
but on the other hand
your planet sounds like the most metal place in the multiverse holy crap
[ so, you know, CONFLICTED FEELINGS. ]
no subject
Also definitely a cannibal now, but that's the least of your problems by that point.
no subject
[ ... ah, she ... just remembered something, though. ]

no subject
Really, what planet do you come from?
no subject
i grew up on earth
that is the me who is talking to you now

no subject
... Not that anyone knows where or what that place is but...
