[ 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.

And I don't think anyone is meant to drink tequila.
voice
Are you sure? The robots keep bringing it to me. I really like it so far.
no subject
It tastes good, I'll give you that. But that doesn't mean you should feed it to them. Or drink it yourself.
At least, not without my company.
no subject
... Well quit taking so long, these little robots are just going to keep bringing them to the reindeer.
no subject
Are you at that odd pub? I don't know if I trust those little machines.
no subject
I can be. Hang on, I have to make sure the deer are safe before I head there. They seem to really like the tequila.
no subject
Shall I come to you? And have you tried giving them anything... normal?
no subject
... Uhm. I don't remember? I just woke up curled up with them and the glasses everywhere. - and oh, yeah that might be easier, if you come here. I'm just up at the agricultural levels.
no subject
Sounds like a good night. I'll be there in a moment. Try not to drink any more of that stuff. You could clean engines with it.
