What would you say if....

[J and Captiosus]

J posted this on the humans' forum, but I want to get some daemon's opinion. J's acquaintance said that I was a bad influence and...well, here's what she said.
HDMDNAGO [7:54 PM]: why don't I like Capt? He brings out the worst in you. How does he bring out the worst in you? Well, he forces you to seperate your personality. And Capt tends to be the unfeeling, often hypocritic, too-cynical, too-pessimistic side. And even if he wasn't, it would make J that. I like Our World fine. It's where we live, the only place we COULD live. The reason our daemons (because I'm not saying they aren't real -- I always considered Endy my conscience, that part of me that keeps me from just giving up on school or vegetarianism), The reason our daemons aren't coporeal is because we need them not to be. I really love you when you're vaugely unfeeling, vaguely cynical. It's part of you. But when it's concentrated, it's unbearable
VFDJ42 [8:00 PM]: Right. That's another thing--what's wrong with imagining a corporeal soul if it helps keeps things focused, and encourages you to think and evaluate your life more?
HDMDNAGO [8:03 PM]: because for you it didn't. It doesn't. Or, it doesn't seem like it does. It's like...people say that drugs do that. Encourage creativity, reflection. And they might, for a time. But eventually, they destroy you. Sort-of. Capt, previously, hasn't been helping you. He's been making you, firstly, more withdrawn. More charismatic, asthetically, but ultimately more withdrawn. You talk to Tiller, but you don't talk with any of us.

I'm not reposting it because I particularly care much, but I want to know what other daemons would do/say or something in reaction to that.

[StephXZed]

Do you think that you bring out the worse in her?

If you don't bring out the worse in her, then you don't. Case closed. If you don't think this is true- and you should both probably talk about it, in case it might have a point- then its not.

I personally don't like dætheists,unless theyre willing to debate on the subject,whihc is always fun. Other than that, isay screw them and just don't let my human mention me in conversation about them. Jackasses.

[J and Captiosus]

She actually used to have a daemon, but I think she's, ah, to embarrased, or insecure, to talk to one. There's more about it that she's not ready to tell J yet, and I'm trying to make J more patient and considerate of other people, so, we'll let her take her time until she's ready to discuss.
Yes. Patient and considerate. *left eye twitches*

[Kamy]

well, i think that friend is crazy cus ur definately the opposite of what he thinks.

[J and Captiosus]

Yeah...I can't blame her, though. Publically I'm rather cynical and captious, and I think I'm truly like that. But I watch myself and make sure I'm the opposite of whatever J is at that moment in order to acheive balance. I think that's what a daemon's for: balance. And through balance you can acheive perfection.

[cock of teh walk]

and perfection is impoosible so why practise? or your case, why try? i think daemons are for fun. acctually...i think i dont really believe in daemons anymore

[J and Captiosus]

Then, pardon my asking...why are you still here?

[cock of teh walk]

no, its a reasonable question. i dont have an answer.
i guess some part of me still compels me to come here.

[Alexei & Kryii]

I am hesitant in what I am about to say... but I am going to anyway.

This friend makes the accusation that J spends too much time with you, and ignores his human friends. I know that my world is Alexei, and he loves me, but Humans and Daemons are different. Humans HAVE TO spend time with other humans, and talking to other humans. If she has a valid point, and J is spending an inordinate amount of time with just you- then J might need your help.

We've something to do, a job- us daemons, that is. We have to protect and help and love and correct and nip and cuddle and do all the rest that our human needs. I would die if I couldn't comfort my Alexei. But if he walked away from his life and spent all day with me, all the time... as much as I'd love him and want it to continue, I know that he and I are different. He needs people, too. I just need him.

[Melannen]

I'd go with that too. Melannen often unprojects me or just leaves me sitting and listening. She feels really guilty about it, but I try and get her to understand that it's alright, as long as I can be with her, which I am all the time.

Eee...this probably isn't the best thing to talk about right now...Melannen is feeling a little emotional, and I have a feeling she might start crying again...
