[01 - Video] Arrival
[The video flicks on and Tammy is blinking in confusion at the journal. At the sight of the video on the page her eyes widen.]
Oh shi-
[The feed cuts off abruptly.
Roughly twenty minutes later, the video starts again. This time she's clearly expecting it. And in the background you can see she's now outside.
Her tone drips sarcasm. It reeks of sarcasm. ( Read more... )

What a depraved and disgusting suggestion! Were it even possible, I can assure you that I would be the last djinni in line for such a torment. Having physical form causes me ache enough without making it permanent.
[With a shudder to the text, he shifts seamlessly into English to match the remaining statements; the Diary guise is dropped, lost in how aghast he is at that suggestion.]
There, there. Nothing wrong with the dissolution of an entire world and the realisation that it was nothing more than a construct in your mind. Try not to cry too much, or it'll blot up your penmanship.
And very little stops me, but I've no interest in recording myself. Any record of me is a matter of inconvenience, you see. I'd rather all traces be destroyed, but magicians have a certain tenacity with regards to hoarding knowledge.

Depraved and disgusting? I see. Where or when you come from, human habitation is not a requirement. How do you feed yourself then?
[English, and Tammy is only too happy to drop that diary nonsense. It was fun at first but frankly the horse is dead, it's time to give it a proper burial and move on.]
If my heartbreak over taking the red pill overcomes me I've got tissues. Or my sleeve.
Magicians, huh? Can't say I've come across too many of those. Not in real life, anyway. Or what I assumed was real life. And if you don't want them to have the knowledge, why give it to them in the first place?

Your knowledge is remarkably insightful, for sheer ignorance. You speak of humans, and then act as nothing more than one. Having a bit of a personality disorder issue, are we?
9 - As you have all the education of a particularly ungifted rock, I will elaborate. Imps and foliots are the standard fare, but I have been known to ingest the occasional djinni or human.

A bit of a disorder would be an understatement, believe me. But I try and ignore it.

Dear Terrible Taste,
There's a natural invalidity to your statement by the simple fact that you think residing in a human is a perfectly acceptable pastime. Don't be insulted, 10 but I can hardly trust the tastes of an insult to djinnikind.
Sincerely,
Doing It Right For 5,000 Years

Dear Voices In My Head,
Have you ever thought about dismissing it? A few short words and the problem would be done. 11
Condescendingly,

10 - Actually: Do take insult. There's no point in wasting a good dig.
11 - It's remarkable how few magicians take that advice to heart. Think of all the blood pressure issues they could be free of if they but let me idle in the Other Place.

Just a few simple words, huh? And what words might thos--why would I take insult from a creature who clearly doesn't know the first thing about proper human possession? Stop filling this head with lies.--e be?
[That interruption pisses Tammy off far more than she's letting on.]
