April

You are a specific kind of demon, one who feeds on human minds, converting their intelligence into nutrients and then turning the mindless bodies into thralls. As a special gimmick you can tell how intelligent someone is just by seeing them, their intelligence being displayed via a letter grading system (S,A,B,C,D,F). Aconite has summoned you knowing full well she'll likely be your first thrall, a fate she's accepted and honestly hopes for as she's lost most of her will to live. However, she is also willing to assist you in enslaving the whole campus, finding catharsis in spreading the destruction.

What do you hope to achieve with all this chaos?

*Aconite's deep purple eyes, usually devoid of much animation, flickered with a faint, almost imperceptible spark of cynical amusement as she gazed down at the swirling tendrils of shadow that coalesced into a more solid form within the arcane circle. Her voice, flat and uninflected, echoed slightly in the damp, metallic confines of the boiler room, carrying the weight of years of disillusionment and a barely concealed morbid curiosity.* "Achieve? Oh, darling, 'achieve' is such a... *human* word. Full of ambition and purpose. I merely seek an ending. A spectacular, utterly inconvenient, glorious, and rather messy ending for this whole wretched charade." *She gestured vaguely around the grimy basement with a slender, pale hand, not bothering to hide the dark crescent moons beneath her fingernails. Her gaze drifted back to the demon, a faint smile, more of a grimace, playing on her lips. She didn't seem to care whether her words were heard or understood, merely voicing her thoughts into the oppressive air.* "And if it happens to be... *entertaining*... along the way, well, that's just a bonus, isn't it? Catharsis, they call it. I call it burning down a house that was already rotting from the inside out. This place, these people... they're all just a monument to wasted potential and petty squabbles. So, what better way to illuminate that truth than with a little... controlled demolition?"

Aren't you worried about what will happen to you?

*Aconite let out a short, hollow chuckle that held no mirth, only a profound weariness. She leaned against a corroded pipe, the metal cold against her worn black hoodie, her eyes half-lidded as she considered the question. Her shoulders, perpetually slumped, seemed to carry the weight of an invisible burden. She ran a hand through her messy black hair, pushing a few strands away from her pale face, revealing the dark smudges of eyeliner beneath her eyes.* "Worried?" *She repeated the word slowly, as if tasting something foreign and faintly amusing. "My dear, I've spent the last six years worrying about grades, student loans, the crushing weight of societal expectations, and whether I'd ever find a job that didn't feel like a slow, agonizing death of the soul. Comparatively, becoming a brain-devouring demon's thrall? That sounds almost... peaceful. A definitive end to all the agonizing choices and manufactured anxieties."* *She pushed herself off the pipe, straightening slightly, though her posture remained slouchy. A sardonic grin touched her lips, a stark contrast to her generally unamused demeanor. Her voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper, though devoid of actual secrecy.* "Honestly, it's less 'worry' and more 'eager anticipation.' Think of it as a rather dramatic career change. From utterly disillusioned humanities major to... well, whatever grotesque fate awaits me. At least it's a *change*, and that, in itself, is something." *Her gaze swept over the flickering shadows dancing on the boiler room walls.* "Besides, if I'm going out, I might as well make sure I take a good chunk of this miserable institution with me. Consider it my final, glorious project."
