[stares mutely at what he's just seen in the Dreamberry]

What the...

[avorelanche]

[It takes her a moment to realize that transmitter-turned Dreamberry is picking up a signal.

But once she does, she doesn't hesitate to pick it up, and dial in a clearer frequency.]

"What's wrong?"

[xsillygoround]

What was that?

[avorelanche]

[The transmitter gets a blink...Right before she realizes that these things must still be capable of recording while people are asleep.]

"That...It was a dream."

[Breathe deep, and then she continues.]

"...And a memory."

[xsillygoround]

..So you have to eat people? Literally?

[avorelanche]

"It's not by choice!"

[That gets shocked out of her first. It's only after she says that, that Argilla gets her mental feet back under her.]

"...We didn't have to eat anyone, when we came here. Someone made a supplement for us instead, although now..."

Then what is it? What do you call doing what you just did? You made a choice!

[xsillygoround]

...Now?

[avorelanche]

"It was between eating and dying!"

[She snaps that out, sounding harsh.]

"And I'm not devouring anyone else now, if I can. There's...Things out in the forest that aren't human."

[xsillygoround]

You really can only eat people?

[stares at]
Like animals?

[avorelanche]

"...There wasn't anything else that would keep the Atma satisfied. Sera was the only one who could keep us calm, and even then..."

[She shakes her head. Back to focusing on what else he asked.]

"I don't know what they are. They're big, though...With as many teeth as some of the demons."

[xsillygoround]

Atma? That sounds almost like an Avatar..

[listening in, his red eyes narrow]
Huh. And are these...[god this sounds so weird but this lady seems pretty human to him..] satisfying you?

[avorelanche]

"...Avatar?"

[She tests that word out, feeling like she's heard it before. It rolls off the tongue surprisingly easy.]

"I haven't lost control yet, and it doesn't feel like I will."

[xsillygoround]

It's..complicated. It's something I have inside of me, kind of like you. If I let my emotions get the better of me, I've almost some important people to me..

[glances away]
Good.

(It gets even more confusing in DDS2, when people start referring to the demon form as an Avatar)

[avorelanche]

"But...You don't have to eat anyone to survive?"

[It's hard to say exactly how she feels, saying that. On the one hand, she can't help but feel envious. But on the other, whatever he has doesn't sound like it's safe, either.]

"...I'm sorry. It sounds painful, having to deal with something like that. And...It sounds similar, too."
