[ In the dark, Clarisse rolls over and squints at the screen of her phone. It takes her a couple minutes to answer. At first she thinks it's her dyslexia, that she's not correctly reading whatever this is actually supposed to say, but it's the same when she turns on the speech function and a monotone voice reads it out loud: You understand nothing. ]
what the fuck are you talking about are you high right now
Though he, of course, started this battle tonight.... Regardless, Paimon has learned by now that turning on "capslock" is how to express shouting. He takes a few minutes to find the "capslock" and thenβ )
[ Well, the way she sees it, she has two options. Option One: Turn her phone off and go back to sleep, content in the knowledge that she took the high road and didn't engage with a literal demonic presence. Option Two: Turn on capslock and scream back at him.
( And so begins King Paimon's first Rage Text session.... though he's still extremely slow about it, because he's typing with one finger and having to find the letters. It takes awhile.
Part of Clarisse is actually wondering whether Paimon has made a lucky guess, or whether he knows something about Ares and pigs somehow. Boars are one of his sacred animals, and they've been used to insult her before. Obviously she isn't going to ask him, though. This is kind of infuriating. ]
I AM A DAUGHTER OF THE GOD OF WAR GRANDDAUGHTER OF THE KING OF THE GODS SLAYER OF THE LYDIAN DRAKON I CAN RAISE THE DEAD AND MAKE THEM DO MY BIDDING I CAN CALL DOWN CURSES UPON ANY WEAPON WHAT HAVE YOU DONE EXCEPT PISS ME THE FUCK OFF AND MAKE ME HALLUCINATE BUGS??? IF I'M A PIG, YOU'RE JUST A LEECH. I COULD STOMP YOUR FUCKING GUTS OUT WITH MY BOOT.
( The funny thing is, Paimon has no idea about the connection to Ares and pigs. It was just something to insult her with β pigs being a certain low rung on the hierarchical ladder as a slaughter animal.
But though he doesn't know exactly why he's hit a nerve, it's clear he has. And he's SHAKING, immediately screaming his own credentials. Aka things he's read about himself in the grimoires.
He also imitates the way she types things out, one line at a time, which ironically.... really helps him. )

ooh BIG fucking deal, you leech and now you've taken over the body of a teenage boy who can barely tie his shoes without falling over. good for you. you're really showing us all how powerful you are
I WILL LOCATE THE MEANING USING TOMES OF MUCH GREATER KNOWLEDGE THAN THE DICTIONARY
( He doesn't know what a dictionary is but if she recommended it, then he knows it SUCKS! He'll find sarcasm in other, better books! (He won't though...) )
( The absolutely horrible thing.....is that he actually just straight up looks up the meaning of this one, himself. On the Omni's search feature.
Sure, she'd said "fuck" before and he'd copied it; he didn't know what he was saying. Now that Luna's involved, well.... He needs to know.
He finds multiple results. )
IF YOU MEAN FUCK AS IN HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WE DO NOT HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE I AM NOT A HUMAN ENSLAVED BY CARNAL DESIRES I AM A DEMON KING I AM KING PAIMON
( .....Goetic demons don't fuck, apparently. But he's not done screaming about it )
OUR BOND IS NOT OF FLESH BUT OF SPIRIT SHE GAVE ME HER HAIR AND I GAVE HER MY VOW WHAT WE HAVE EXCHANGED TRANSCENDS THE FLESH WE ARE ONE
( RIP Clarisse's Omni, as every single line will be sent as a new text. He's also sending one of his Many Saved Photos Off Pinterest to clarify the point. )
[ Luna, what the fuck is wrong with you?? But anyway, in case anybody was expecting Clarisse to concede defeat, she refuses. She just immediately pivots to the next stupid insult. ]
okay so what you're telling me is that you're just a sad old virgin
