((Um, Harry, I see your theory, and it ALMOST matches up. but...))
"Hello! Would you like to engage in a social call? Perhaps a territorial dispute? It seems you're having trouble deciding."
"Territory... I... dispute!"
((You didn't say "I" to her before this statement.
otherwise though, it matches up perfectly. so this might be an oversight, or a shortened version of "It"))

((@lenglon: I meant to write that as "I'll", but the forum decided to eat that. I'll go edit it now. Other then that, everything is as it should.))

((@lenglon: I meant to write that as "I'll", but the forum decided to eat that. I'll go edit it now. Other then that, everything is as it should.))
((I'll is first said in Ike's reply to "Territory... I... Dispute", before that, he mostly says variations of "you". and that's if you include what he said to river before she even appeared.))
"You need to do it now! You cannot hold them for long!"
"Hello! Would you like to engage in a social call? Perhaps a territorial dispute? It seems you're having trouble deciding."
"Social... call...?"
"Territorial... dispute!"
"Territory... I... dispute!"
"Ah! I see you are possibly insane and/or a wizard, and you feel you need to dispute some territory! This is most interesting, clearly! However, note that my territory does not extend further than one foot from my body, and the rest I assume defaults to you, then!"

"Now, thing is, we have no beef at the moment, though our interests may overlap. So I'll state the question clearly, my dear, what do you want?"

((see?))

((@Lenglon: I never disputed that. Though "Territorial" and "Territory I'll" do sound similar, don't they? On the other hand, was "mine" ever said by Ike? Hmm...))

((It's very fun working with elements. Every mix gives rise to interesting ideas. Too bad you know nothing about them except what River has been able to discern, because I've made a nice little drawing about them to help me better visualise how they work. If you're lucky, you'll hopefully come upon that knowledge eventually and I'll be able to use it.))

Campaign, Ike!

"You need help, it seems. Let me throw you some linguistic bones, then! Let's go: dimensions, parasites, property, willpower, explosion, resurrection, theft, life, death, I am, you are, we are, pain, suffering, horror, provide, aid, refugee, yellow land octopus, sphere, bones, skin, flesh, blood, nose, ears, feet, robes, sky, ground, horizon, people, friend, enemy, ham, bread, water, save, hate, love, kill, magic, crush, destroy, brutalize, vandalize, sodomize, victimize, give, take, beasts, spirits, cataclysm, soul... Do any of those help you express yourself?"

Don't let her get into my personal space. She hasn't obtained that level of personal trust. Keep my distance. Do so in a circling way to establish dominance - circle around her at a distance and make sure I'm not getting backed up against a wall or anything. Be ready to dodge.
You start speaking, backing away at the same time, but she does her best to keep getting closer to you. You think you see the edges of her lips rise for a moment as you speak, as if in a smile.
"You help. Help more." she responds. You think there's definitely more vocabulary there now.
You keep moving, but you think she is getting closer regardless. You don't think it's much closer, just a bit. You think she is moving faster now. You think her dark red hair look more vibrant now.
"I want you. You aid me. I take aid I need to aid."
You think she is talking louder now, although she is still whispering.
"Keep expressing yourself. Stop circling. I need it."
You think your head is starting to hurt.

((So she IS trying to possess / feed off him. Neat. Wonder if ignoring her, denying her, attacking her, or helping her is the right move...))

Campaign, Ike!

"Would you be some kind of soul-stealing vampire? Yes, no! I'm fairly sure I could find you somebody less important to fulfill your hunger for lifeblood or lifethought in that event, and I could certainly offer you quite a bit of help with hunting the local refugees if so. Always a good minion and ready ally, that's what I like to be."

Continue circling, retreating at a faster pace. Grab a rock.

You pass by the collapsed building as you retreat and grab a brick. You manage to maintain your distance.
"I need body. I need it to aid. To do. To hunt."
You're not sure if she's asking you to give her a body or asking for your body. Why are magical things always so obscure?
The pain in your head is getting even worse. You can feel your heart beating in your temples, hear it in your ears.
"I need you expressing yourself. Help me be me."
Well, this conversation is getting repetitive. You should teach her your name and the word 'hope' so she can make a star wars reference.
"That's what I like you to be."

Ike nods, smiling for a moment.

Throw brick at her head, make a quick retreat, get another brick.

Glad you enjoy it.  :)

Campaign, Ike!

Ike nods, smiling for a moment.

Throw brick at her head, make a quick retreat, get another brick.
She stops moving as you draw your hand back. The pain in your head increases.
You run towards her and throw the brick straight at her head. Her head breaks apart as the brick goes through it, exploding into a cloud of ash and dust, followed shortly by the rest of her body.
You quickly back away, trying not to breathe the ash. You approach the collapsed building and grab another brick.
You feel slightly better now. But it doesn't appear to be a permanent solution. The cloud of ash is shrinking, condensing into a shape.
"You are mine."

You start walking away, but then you reconsider. Would letting her borrow your body for a while really be such a bad thing? What would be wrong with that? It's not like there's anything to worry about. I mean, she seems really nice.  Yes, she'll probably do whatever she wants to do with it and then hand it back to you. Just like lending a friend your car. The worst that can happen is that they crash it somewhere or use it to do some crime. But she seems responsible, you don't think she'd do something like that. Besides, all this running away thing sounds really tiring. Yes, you should probably just go over there and get it over with.

Having convinced yourself to not run away, you instead approach the reforming cloud of ash.
"Yes. Come to me."
A hand made out of particles of ash frozen in the air reaches out towards your head. Her body has almost fully reformed. Only a couple of steps stand between you.
"Give it to me."
Your head is starting to feel really bad. You sense something dripping out of your nose. You can taste blood.
"I will have what I need. I will do what I want."
