(Ralmok gives a knowing grin, as he promptly regrows his arm, making horrific squelching sounds all the while)
"Oh, you misunderstand, Nodis. even if you kill me, I will return. i am not a being who is easily slain. that's why I was sealed away: to stop the endless cycle of my death bringing my resurrection. if anything, you killing me would be a blessing!"
(he then backs away, still grinning.)
"but i digress. i simply wish to know: are you with me or not?"
// a teaser for a black redesign of my own, hehe!
(Nodis feels... a shadowy presence. behind them, they see the shadows themselves turn to liquid, move a distance away from them, and then conglomerate into a shape somewhat like their own. they seem VERY tall, and their skin seems to crawl with maggots, despite looking very healthy at the same time. they turn around, their neck making cracking sounds as they grin a smile that is way too big and has WAY too many teeth.)
"GOOD EVENING. YOU MAY CALL ME... TARAGOS."
[ Rising from the shadows, a tall figure looks back. Sickening cracks and squelching of the unknown viscous shadow-like substance suddently shifting into joints and somewhat more stable shapes resembling a body only confinued until an intimidating hatted figure was looking back… eye rolling forward. The other seemed to not be present at the moment. ]
“ Nodis. ”
[ This… thing doesn't return with any emotion. It simply stares. ]
“ You must have a good reason for bothering me. ”
