I’ll Haunt Your Brain

[concoctionboy]

Okay, so it turns out several of the local HOA members have been studying magic and trying to become wizards in order to gain magical powers they can use against me and @unexpectedly-wizardposting, and considering that their whole problem with us in the first place was that they didn't like the idea of wizards (well, a wizard and a slime) living in their neighborhood, I think that is kind of hypocritical.

[highestelf420-deactivated202604]

Becoming the very thing you swore to destroy is an essential and beautiful dark wizard rite of passage.

[concoctionboy]

Hm, okay, see that kind of implies that this neighborhood is in the process of becoming full of dark wizards, which I don't think I'm super thrilled about.

[highestelf420-deactivated202604]

Woww, haha... oookay.

[concoctionboy]

Oh, sorry; I, uh, I didn't mean to offend. It's just, I mean, these HOA guys are pretty obnoxious as it is and I kind of feel like becoming dark wizards isn't going to make them any better. But I mean I was created in a vat by a dark wizard, so I guess if it weren't for dark wizards I wouldn't exist.

[jimkinnz]

ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ you also have many friends who would not exist without evil wizards ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ

i was created in a vat too• i am an evil wizard,s damned creation too• would you deny me my life of whimsy and gnome slaughter¿

[concoctionboy]

No, oh jeez, I didn't mean... Sorry, @jimkinnz. Sorry, @numamazza. Sorry, evil wizards.

I forgive you, but I still think we should kill @concoctionboy

It’s fun

[jimkinnz]

please don,t• he,s my friend•

[thedarksorcerer]

Well he’s my arch nemesis!

[concoctionboy]

I have to admit I'm still kind of unclear on how that happened...

[thedarksorcerer]

Hold on let me check my receipts…

[thedarksorcerer]

@concoctionboy

So apparently I just sort of jumped on the “drink Con-Boy” bandwagon and then I guess I sort of became obsessed with figuring out how to kill all of you permanently from there.

Also, on a slightly different note, that recent moment where I didn’t know that you are able to split your body and clone yourself was a continuity error. That’s bad storytelling and I apologize.

And yes, I can occasionally break the fourth wall if I want to. I just don’t do it very often because I find it gauche.

But I digress. Honestly I think I just hate you because you’re so pure of heart. You’re just so polite and apologetic to everyone. It’s disgusting.

Also you say “I mean” a LOT and that bugs me.

[concoctionboy]

I, uh, wasn't really expecting an explanation, but... thanks, I guess?

[concoctionboy]

A buddy of mine said he stole some of your goop, dried it, powdered it, and then snorted it and lost consciousness. Did you take control of that guy?

I.. don't think so? Why? Is he acting differently now?

I mean, I don't think that I can take control of people who inhale powdered copies of me, but honestly nobody's ever done that to this me or a me I was connected to, so I guess i don't really have hard evidence one way or the other. I guess I could maybe conduct an experiment, but I'm not sure where I could find subjects...

[gavamont]

Did someone say unethical magic experiment?

Sounds fun.

[concoctionboy]

Okay, I know what you're probably thinking, and I do appreciate the thought, but I'm really not comfortable using @mundanemurphy as an experimental subject without his express and uncoerced willing participation.

[gavamont]

😔 no snortable concoction 🥺 for me?

[concoctionboy]

I mean, it's not that I mind sending a bit of me to you for experimentation; like I did just send bits of me to a few dozen wizard students in the blennology class; it's just that I kind of... don't really want to get innocent people unwillingly involved in those experiments.

But I mean in this case I guess it won't do much harm even if you do experiment on @mundanemurphy; I mean he has always come back pretty fast from whatever you've done to him and after all the point of this experiment is to see if I can take control of people who snort powdered me (which I probably can't anyway) so the worst that will happen is I take brief control of him and then I'll relinquish that control as soon as I know I can, and in the best case maybe he'll get weird slime powers?

I don't know, though; it still feels a little wrong; I mean, it's still doing experiments on someone without his consent (assuming that's what you plan on doing)... although on the other hand, I'm not sure how you could trick him into snorting green powder without knowing something is up, so maybe you will actually ask him for consent?

Eh... I mean, okay, it does feel a little unfair for me to send some bits of myself to all these wizard students I barely know and refuse to send them to you when I think I've known you almost since I was created in a vat by an evil wizard three years ago, so okay, sure, I guess you can have a bit of me-slime for experimentation.

[thedarksorcerer]

“May I have some of your self for experimentation?”

“It would be unfair to refuse after all.”

[concoctionboy]

I mean, to be fair, Gavamont hasn't repeatedly said he wanted to kill me, which I think may be a relevant factor to keep in mind here.

[thedarksorcerer]

“What if I could figure out a way to clone you? Then I would never have to try to kill you again, because I could kill you as much as I want.”

[concoctionboy]

I uh... I mean, I split off copies of myself all the time. It's... it's just something I do. I think at this point figuring out how to clone me is very much a solved problem.

Honestly, I guess I can give you a copy of me you can do what you want with—and that can keep splitting off more copies of me as long as you don't destroy all the copies of me in your possession—if it means you're going to stop trying to kill the other copies of me.

[thedarksorcerer]

“Oh… I mean obviously I was aware of your ability to grow copies, and I totally didn’t assume you were resurrecting yourself every time I thought I killed you….”

“So… are all the copies the same or is there like a Prime Concoction Boy?”

[concoctionboy]

I mean... when an amœba splits in two, which is the original and which is the copy? Obviously I'm not an amœba, but the point still stands; I don't think any copy of me really has any firmer basis to be called the original or the prime me than any other. That's why I'm not all that worried when the me that was posting on Tumblr, like, dissolves into bubbles and floats away, or gets permanently turned into an orb, or whatever. Another me just takes over posting on Tumblr and continues business as usual. I can't just instantly split off arbitrarily many copies of me, because obviously if I split myself in half each copy is half the size of the previous me until it replenishes its volume, but still.

I'm not sure how many copies of me there are out there at this point, because I haven't really kept track of them or maintained connections with all of them and it's entirely possible that some of the copies I split off have split off copies of their own, but, you know, a lot.

I don't think any of the other copies of me have their own Tumblr accounts, though.

[thedarksorcerer]

“Why don’t you all band together and form some kind of society or kingdom? That would be much wiser than wandering around getting killed by evil spell casters.”

“Then you could spread and take over the world! SUBJUGATING ALL BENEATH YOUR SLIMY DOMINION! HAHAHAHA!!!”

⚡️🌩️⚡️

[concoctionboy]

I mean I don't really want to subjugate all beneath my slimy dominion and anyway it's not like I intentionally set out to scatter copies of me all over the place it's just that that kind of... ends up happening.

I am not sure how many mes have been killed by evil spellcasters, though. I'm actually kind of more afraid of being drunk (as in imbibed), whether by an evil spellcaster or not. Anyway, I was created by an evil spellcaster in the first place, so... I guess I can't be too down on evil spellcasters, even if I don't really approve of the whole evil part.

Okay, I know what you're probably thinking, and I do appreciate the thought, but I'm really not comfortable using @mundanemurphy as an experimental subject without his express and uncoerced willing participation.

[gavamont]

😔 no snortable concoction 🥺 for me?

[concoctionboy]

I mean, it's not that I mind sending a bit of me to you for experimentation; like I did just send bits of me to a few dozen wizard students in the blennology class; it's just that I kind of... don't really want to get innocent people unwillingly involved in those experiments.

But I mean in this case I guess it won't do much harm even if you do experiment on @mundanemurphy; I mean he has always come back pretty fast from whatever you've done to him and after all the point of this experiment is to see if I can take control of people who snort powdered me (which I probably can't anyway) so the worst that will happen is I take brief control of him and then I'll relinquish that control as soon as I know I can, and in the best case maybe he'll get weird slime powers?

I don't know, though; it still feels a little wrong; I mean, it's still doing experiments on someone without his consent (assuming that's what you plan on doing)... although on the other hand, I'm not sure how you could trick him into snorting green powder without knowing something is up, so maybe you will actually ask him for consent?

Eh... I mean, okay, it does feel a little unfair for me to send some bits of myself to all these wizard students I barely know and refuse to send them to you when I think I've known you almost since I was created in a vat by an evil wizard three years ago, so okay, sure, I guess you can have a bit of me-slime for experimentation.

“May I have some of your self for experimentation?”

“It would be unfair to refuse after all.”

[concoctionboy]

I mean, to be fair, Gavamont hasn't repeatedly said he wanted to kill me, which I think may be a relevant factor to keep in mind here.

[thedarksorcerer]

“What if I could figure out a way to clone you? Then I would never have to try to kill you again, because I could kill you as much as I want.”

[concoctionboy]

A buddy of mine said he stole some of your goop, dried it, powdered it, and then snorted it and lost consciousness. Did you take control of that guy?

I.. don't think so? Why? Is he acting differently now?

I mean, I don't think that I can take control of people who inhale powdered copies of me, but honestly nobody's ever done that to this me or a me I was connected to, so I guess i don't really have hard evidence one way or the other. I guess I could maybe conduct an experiment, but I'm not sure where I could find subjects...

[gavamont]

Did someone say unethical magic experiment?

Sounds fun.

I am doing this to you 🫵

Now. I know you’re going to have some objections, but hear me out.

I understand you have a much higher viscosity than the liquid shown. To remedy this, I will heat your entire body to 200°

At that temperature I believe you will be unable to hold your own form, so I have acquired a large bucket to hold you in, so that you may be transferred to my pockets.

Sound good?

[herssian]

deepen the shadows bro. it'll be ok

[herssian]

i meant art-wise but if any dark sorcerers see this. you do you

[thedarksorcerer]

Don’t tell me what to do

I mean, my pfp is just me, so the question is less whether I'd trust my pfp with my drink, and more whether I'd trust people not to drink my pfp.

(The answer is no because people keep doing that!)

Dang it, I just found out that a friend I met online (at least I thought he was a friend) was actually an evil cultist who only wanted to lure me to a blasphemous, unhallowed fane to sacrifice me to his eldritch god.

[the-mighty-dalob]

Why are you so good at finding people that want to murder you in some way?

[thedarksorcerer]
