Ink grins back, looking slightly insane as she pulls a kitten out a glove. "We think they're some some of Demonic Entity. I'm taking notes. Got any name ideas?"

They pass the kitten to Factor 

"NOT DEMONIC! Eldritch." Coder clarifies.

"You're the one who brought them here. How'd you find them?" Ryn asks, "...wait, is mine the first one you pulled. Uh oh."

"Nah. It's just a thing that happens. Eldritch demons/gods/monsters are constantly trying to invade the minds of everything that enters. I just don't let them invade the minds of humans. Humans are my domain."

“And that’s why we can’t have good things,” Verdance points out. “If Coder didn’t call dibs on the entirety of humanity, I could be human. But nooo, I have to splice my existence with fictional DNA just to prevent mr dragon enthusiast from controlling my mind…”

Coder quickly identifies your fictional DNA. "Yeah... so about that... how it actually works is I called dibs on all things that identify themselves even somewhat as human, so all humanoids and even some dogs fit under that category. It really just comes down to sapience."

"And I don't control your mind, it's more of a distributed algorithm type thing."

“Ha, well enders game logic makes me not ramen due to being part text box and therefore not fully sapient as my existence is the communication of a mind but not necessarily a sapient being”

”also excuse me if i dont want anyone having a backdoor into my soul regardless of intent”

"Hey. I have a backdoor into all souls. And I don't have any intent. And sapience is the existence of thought and the realm of a mind. And I don't like liking enders game."

"I finished reading Ender's Game yesterday. I got it from the library so the author didn't get any money. It was ... interesting. I can see why it won prizes but there were definitely parts that made me uncomfortable. The racism was unnecessary. I found it kind of funny how the Warsaw Pact was a leading superpower, though." Ink scratches xir kitten on the back of the head. It hisses angrily and starts levitating.

“Took me many moons to care about it… chapter three of book four sort of redeems it in that context, but you have to be pretty dedicated. Ritual sacrifice tree pigs, what can i say?”

"Yeah. I hate that it is such a good book. And I hate that he makes such good points. And I hate that he is so right. Because he is a terrible human being whom I do not wish to agree with."

"Oh yeah, it was a book series..."

[Factor She/Her]

Factor startles awake. “Ah yes, that… I haven’t read that and don’t plan to.” Factor pauses, then turns and happily scoops up their kitten. “Oh hi! A eldritch entity!” They pause again. “Is that right? I’m… disturbingly inexperienced in these matters.”

Verdance yoinks a fender telecaster from nowhere, magical in that it doesn’t require an amp or extra equipment, and does his best to drown out the earworm with a cover of Good Kid’s Rift. For the good of people everywhere

Flautist nods, plays a different sequence, and vaporizes to the Weird Floating Web of Seaweed up in the sky.

Slinging the guitar over his shoulder, Verdance turns his attention to Flautist. “Bass is cool. Bass players don’t get enough recognition. What music do you play?”

"Ooo, that's cool," Ink says, nodding. "I play clarinet but the groups I'm in tend to be more classical than jazz. What's your favourite piece?"

[Invested Flautist He/him]

"That I've played, or to listen to?"

"Both!" they smiled. "And, if you had to pick a favourite to play and listen to, would it be one of them, or something else?"

"I think my favorite to listen to is Fire Dance by Woody Herman, favorite to play is Freddie Freeloader by Miles Davis, and that is also my favorite to play and listen to. Yours?"

"Awesome! I haven't heard either of those, but I'll go and listen to them! I listen to a lot of Imagine Dragons, so maybe Shots to listen to, and then I like playing the Pirates of the Caribbean theme tune, which is probably also my favourite to play and listen to!"
