“Yeah, that’s pretty much how it works! As for the bonding part, I… Don’t think that would be a very good idea either.”
(anyone is welcome to fill out the bingo card, just make sure to @/ me in it!)
“Of course! Come back anytime. If you need me, I’ll come and find you. Or you could come and fine me! Whichever one is easiest for you.”

“Hello. We I have not met another of my kind before. I am VICE.”

“Salutations, little one!”
Parasite crouched down to Vice, their eyes wide as they examined the symbiote
“Vice, you say? I’m Parasite. It’s a pleasure meeting another!”
“I… No, no, I’m sorry. I don’t think that’s why you’re sad, I was just saying that- well- a lot of symbiotes do that.”
“I don’t know if it counts as cannibalism. Either way though, plenty of symbiotes eat others, so it’s not exactly unnatural. It’s just what we do to survive. The less you think about it, the better.”

Parasite crouched down to Vice, their eyes wide as they examined the symbiote
“Vice, you say? I’m Parasite. It’s a pleasure meeting another!”
Parasite seems distracted enough by that new question. “Yeah.”
After an awkward moment of silence, it spoke up again, their voice a bit hesitant. “I mean, don’t we all? I didn’t realize there were symbiote’s who didn’t.”

Parasite winces a bit, their smile turning a bit sad for a second.
“…I did. Not anymore though, now I just hop from person to person. I’ll find one soon, though, I’m sure.”
Their voice sounded more like they were still trying to convince themselves of that, like they weren’t completely sure.

Parasite crouched down to Vice, their eyes wide as they examined the symbiote
“Vice, you say? I’m Parasite. It’s a pleasure meeting another!”
“Oh! Your hosts, you mean?”
Parasite perked up at that, seemingly much more engaged in the conversation and no longer half zoned out as they heard the mention of VICE’S host (One would think that the mention of something so sensitive would make Parasite offended, but oftentimes it had quite the opposite effect).
“Well, Recluse and Bluejay sound like very nice people. Keep them safe and close, if you can.”

Parasite stares at VICE for a long, long time, before speaking up after a moment.
“That’s a nice way of seeing it.”
“What birdie and spider do you speak of that was hurt?” Their eyes shone as they spoke, perking up a bit.
“Do you have a spider-person too?”

“Vice, you say? I’m Parasite. It’s a pleasure meeting another!”
“I… Guess you’re not entirely wrong.”
Parasite replied, a look of surprise forming on their face, seemingly deep in thought as they considered Vice’s words. They hadn’t really thought about it like that before, but they did seem to have a point.
“I think you’re one of the least vengeful symbiotes I’ve seen. Though, that’s a good thing, especially here, in this world.”

“Oh…” Parasite’s voice was almost… Sympathetic? Sorrowful? Comforting? One of those.
“I’m sorry for your loss, little one.”
It hesitated again, before carefully speaking again.
“May I… Ask who did that? Who were the humans were studying you. I mean, you don’t need to tell me if you don’t know or don’t want to or anything-“ They quickly added on.

“Yes! I’ve met a couple others myself, though, admittedly, we are a bit far and few these days. Most of us tend to stay hidden, though. Many of the people here don’t tend to react well to differences.”
Parasite grinned, before their expression got a bit more worried, almost concerned.
“Your kin were killed?”
