Oh, Island. Quite the entertainer, arent you? I know you find enjoyment from messing with their small human minds, and I do as well. But please, do not cause too much trouble for them. I would not want those who are not meant to doing something... drastic with themselves. Do not make me go back and rewrite their fates whenever they have already been carved into stone.

I shall do whatever I wish. You know you can't do much to my kind.

Oh yes, she really is! So very lucky indeed, all that joy and distress, grief and sorrow, love and hate... it's all so very entertaining! I can certainly see why my dearest Whimsy took an interest in these humans! ^v^

I recently had a great time playing with one of its residents, Cupcake! Hahah, the look they had on xe face as my brambles pulled him beneath the clovers, the horror on their face when their landlord visited and the clovers that had been plaguing them simply vanished before, only to come back the moment the landlord turned their back, the utter despair and hatred~ Oh, I hadn't had so much fun in ages! Haha!

It's only a shame I couldn't break them, but it's alright! I'll find someone else~ got any recommendations, dear? :)

How delightful! Truly, the way you and little Annie torment the people is one I really must look into. Alas, feeling myself expand and push them out, well... it's quite a special event for me. Downright thrilling.

I'm afraid I can't really offer a specific one to play with, they're all far too entertaining to watch on their own. But please, once you do I'd be happy to hear about the terror right from you.

The people on darling Ness Anne sure are stubborn, aren't they? So very fun to toy with, always insisting everything's fine when it's really not! Humans sure are resilient, hmm? All the more fun to break, hehe :))

Anyways~ I trust you've been well? :D

Why of course I've been well. I've been attempting to change my host, the current one is almost skin and bone at this point. Which... while certainly fun to play with, does make interacting a rather dull task.

I've heard many stories of the people living there. Why, they're practically all it can talk about. All the sadness and anger and pain... my sister is quite lucky to experience such a thing firsthand, don't you agree?

Hi Cali! (Can I call you Cali? Lmk) I wanted to talk to you today because I remembered this one story about a moose and I couldn't resist telling you because I don't know WHY this is so funny. So, there was a time in 2011(I think) when an incident occurred where a man called the authorities because of a moose in his neighbor's yard. He also added that he believed the moose was intoxicated. How did he know this? Wellllllllllll...

...Yeah-

Intoxication... I've dabbled with it. Has an interesting effect on some of the creatures. Although it can be annoying to have them drop dead or be unstable for long periods of time.

Cali is fine, I suppose. But my name is Caliban. Don't forget it.

Hi, I did not sleep whatsoever and am somehow not even tired. Though to be fair that's kinda normal for me by now lol Anyways, did I miss anything? I didn't check tumblr nearly all night If not, then I'll simply ask: what wildlife even is there in your domain? I'm not too well-versed with your achipelago, if I'm being honest

My wildlife...? Quite a lot. There's been many over the centuries, although not all have been natural. Humans aren't the only animals that wash up, and they certainly don't always travel alone.

Theoretically, I could support all wildlife. I can change most everything about myself, I simply enjoy the 'tropical' look. The animals on me are rarely changed, unless to comply with my current look.

Yknow what, while we're conversing, entertain an inquiry of mine, would you? Only if you want though. Out of curiosity, when it comes to people dying on your island... How many of them are your direct doing? Like- does every person who arrives end up dying specifically because you did something or do some of them just die from the stuff that's on your island without your direct intervention or control?

What people and animals consider dying and what I consider dying are two quite separate things. By all accounts, as soon as they step upon me, they are dead. There is no way to escape. There is no way to postpone it. It is instant and wholly consuming. They are no longer what they were. Memories are to be erased. Life is now a fleeting moment between a fragile mind and me.

There is no more existing for them. Not in a meaningful manner that they will ever understand. They will never know anything but me again.

To me, they die when their body has decayed to the point where it is useless. Often it's just a mass of bones and meat and muscles at that point – I make sure to use them up until the very end, of course. I simply leave it for my other aspects to deal with. Some eat it, some decorate with it... honestly I couldn't care less. It is worth nothing anymore, and I move to my next vessel. If it wasn't a vessel and just some spare, well... the same thing occurs.

Quite simple really.

Ah, unfortunate that you have none to share yourself. Well, I suppose I can contribute in that department myself even so. Tell me, do you recall how long ago it was that you gained conscience? was it exactly as your landmass formed or later down the line? Pardon me if that's a bit of a personal topic, you needn't answer if that's the case. Though granted, with the way you act, I'm not entirely sure what topics would count as personal for you anyway-

Hm... hard to say. I am more than what I appear on the surface, I know this. Trying to measure the time ultimately results in going around in circles and trying to put it in years that you all would understand.

I suppose... if you really want an approximation. Those animals you never met. Dinosaurs, you call them. I remember those. Some were me, for a while.
