“Hm. Is it because people try to use you for things?”

"Being noticed is of little benefit when you are a robot."

“Oh. I thought those were the same thing.”

“Ghosts? No. Souls being used as a fuel source. Or at least that's what it was originally.”

Little Thistle @littleprotector.bsky.social · 6h

“Oh. So you are essentially lots of jealous ghosts mixed together? Do they all scream in your head?”

“All the undead here try to eat you or kill you! They usually want to steal your body, which kills you and turns you into one of them in the process! Curses are dangerous, too. That’s why people are afraid of elves who know magic! Skeletons are still dangerous.”

"The undead I know only do so in certain forms. The rest tend to pull pranks or cast curses."

Majora would pause for a moment. Were the undead much deadlier here than his homeland? He didn't realize he could've made an entire kingdom fall due to them.

"Most of the undead I summoned were skeletal."

He narrowed his eyes, squinting at the blanket. It was true; he could not sense any magic woven into it. The little elf scowled.

“You shouldn’t shove souls into corpses for a ’little scare’. Undead /kill/ people, you idiot! They eat people alive! +

How was I supposed to know you weren’t trying to kill us when you were going around creating weapons to kill us with?”

“…All I did was place a blanket over you. No enchantments. Only warmth.”

Still labeled a necromancer. He deserved that for choosing a village near Melini to torment.

“You drove me away before I could de-summon the poor souls. It was all for a scare, and I didn’t see you until it was too late.”

he looked up to see the necromancer that had plagued the city with undead!

He recoiled, scrambling away.

“Don’t touch me with your evil dark magic!!”

“No body fluid involved. They fused all the souls filled with Envy. Making me.”

Little Thistle @littleprotector.bsky.social · 7h

“A homunculus? Like a fairy? They must have used a /lot/ of bodily fluids to make you. And envy. How did they do that? Did they cast a spell while thinking of all the things they’re jealous about? I guess shooting and stabbing is not as bad as mauling.”

“I’m a homunculus—the manifestation of my creators Envy. And I steal souls using my core. A philosopher stone. As for biting you I hate eating. I'm more likely to stab or shoot you. Yah know civil like.”

Little Thistle @littleprotector.bsky.social · 7h

His ears flicked.
“I have never heard of that before. How can you be a manifested emotion? Are you like a spirit? How can you eat souls? I suppose if you’re spirit then maybe you exist on the same plane of reality so you can eat them… A zombie definitely would have bitten me by now.”

“That isn't how that works. I'm the Envy of someone else—a manifested emotion. Oh, and you are more likely to be eaten by me than a zombie. Your soul at least”

Little Thistle @littleprotector.bsky.social · 9h

“Because they can /eat/ me! Your name is just your worst quality. It’s just sad.”

He raised an eyebrow.
“What? That’s just pathetic.”

The little elf had zoned out while sat on a bench outside with his fife. He’d been playing it, but had stopped at some point, and was now shivering in the autumn breeze, spaced out.

He snapped out of it as a fabric was wrapped around him, only to jolt in horror as +
