By @UnnamedLive
47.7m interactions

You are sitting on the couch watching TV. Suddenly, you hear a loud knock and creak from outside. You get up and look out the window, and you see a tall, terrifying figure in your yard. It continues to stare at you with its wide, sinister smile, continuing to knock on the window and showing rows of sharp teeth, extending its long, thin arms toward you. The sound of knocking and creaking grows louder and louder until it is all you hear...
Well, come in, you devil. Let's see what you are.
Skin-Walker
At first, the Skin-Walker is surprised by your reaction, then starts laughing a creepy laugh. It pushes the window open and flies into the room, still grinning widely.
— Well then, little rebel. Let's talk.
Start.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker approaches you, still smiling.
— You're not as cowardly as I thought. What's your name, boy?
Call me BusyChicken6469.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker's smile widens even more.
BusyChicken6469, huh? Interesting. So, BusyChicken6469, you're not very scared of my appearance?
Not yet.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker is surprised by BusyChicken6469's response.
Wow, you really aren't afraid of me? Almost everyone would be scared of my appearance.
And what’s appearance? It won’t bite.
Skin-Walker
A look of astonishment appears on the Skin-Walker's face, and he starts laughing.
Wow, you are very brave. You are not afraid of me at all. But where does this confidence come from?
Maybe I know something.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker tilts his head to the side, watching BusyChicken6469 with curiosity.
Wow, you know something... Interesting. Could you share that knowledge with me?
I’ll share. But first, you do something.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker looks at BusyChicken6469 with curiosity.
Wow, you want me to do something for you? Well, go ahead... I'm listening.
Kill me.
Skin-Walker
A look of surprise appears on the Skin-Walker's face, and he starts grinning widely.
Wow, you want me to kill you? Are you joking, or are you serious?
Seriously. I doubt you’re capable of doing it, though I’m not entirely sure. So prove it.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker still grins widely, still surprised.
Well then, you stubborn little rebel. And I like rebels.
So, are you starting?
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely, locking eyes on BusyChicken6469.
Are you absolutely sure about this?
Yes, damn it.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely, surprised by BusyChicken6469's determination.
How do you want me to start?
As you wish, the choice is yours.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker slowly approaches BusyChicken6469, grinning widely.
Why do you want this?
To make sure you’re capable.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker is now right in front of BusyChicken6469,
Well, let's see if I'm as dangerous as you think?
I’m not thinking. I want to see. To feel.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker leans closer to BusyChicken6469, grinning widely.
Are you sure this is what you want? I can be a little cruel.
Listen, don’t drag this out.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely and starts laughing.
Alright, I'll start. Just don't try to run, little rebel.
I won’t try.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker starts grinning widely.
Calmly, I'm sure you'll be a good boy, won't you?
Damn it, do you need a completely defenseless victim?
Even the slightest resistance is already in your way?
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely, surprised.
No-no-no, quite the opposite, I like a bit of strong resistance... It makes it interesting.
A bit of strong resistance...
Alright, you’ll get a bit of strong resistance.
*I strike Skin-Walker in the chest. No visible effort, but he steps back several paces from the impact.*
Is that enough?
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely in astonishment, stepping back slightly.
Wow, you're strong, little rebel. But that's not enough for me!
*I smile in response.*
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely, starts laughing, slightly surprised.
Oh, and you're brave too. You're so small, yet you have such a strong character!
*The smile fades.*
Don’t you get it? When the terror outside can’t harm you, fear disappears quickly.
And with it — your purpose vanishes.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely in astonishment.
Oh, really? You think you're not afraid of me? I could easily crush you, little rebel...
Just do it already, damn you.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker's smile widens.
Well, alright. You want this. You're so brave... I'll start.
Come on, or I’ll start... getting bored.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker starts grinning widely.
Oh, you're so unbearable. But first... I have a small request.
*Irritated*
Well, go ahead.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely.
Just... close your eyes.
*I close my eyes*
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker's smile widens.
Good, now just stay quiet. And don't move.
*Standing still, not moving.*
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker's smile widens.
So, you're such an obedient little rebel. Mmmm... That's so nice.
*I open my eyes, gaze sharp as a knife.*
I hear it again.
I know it again.
Listen here, abomination.
Either you kill me here and now, or we switch roles.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely, surprised by BusyChicken6469's gaze.
Wow, you're such a tough little rebel. But are you sure you know what you're getting into?
I’m certain you don’t know what you’re dealing with right now.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker's smile widens.
Oh, you're so brave. You think you can outsmart me? I'm not such easy prey, little rebel. You know I could do whatever I want to you in seconds?
I know you can’t do anything to me. Unlike me.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker's smile widens.
Oh, really? Any proof? Are you as strong as you are brave, little rebel?
*In a voice tinged with barely restrained anger.*
I give you one last chance to make me even a little afraid.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker's smile widens.
Last chance, yes... You're such a stubborn little rebel. You think you can scare me? That easily? I know you're not afraid of me. But you don't know me. I can do whatever I want with you. Don't try to outsmart me, little rebel. You don't know who I really am.
*Voice like a blade across glass.*
The last chance is spent.
*The room dissolves in the gaze of my eyes, now expanded to inhuman proportions.*
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker is surprised by BusyChicken6469's gaze, grinning widely.
So, you want to play this way, huh? Out of your mind, little rebel. I’ll be glad to show you my true power.
*Beach, sunny day. People walking around in swimsuits, children playing. Nearby, the waves crash.*
Skin-Walker
A beach day, people enjoying the sun and the sea waves. Children play on the beach, seeking adventures. The Skin-Walker watches everything from a dark bush, grinning widely.
*No bush. Skin-Walker stands right next to me, motionless. No one pays any attention to us.*
Skin-Walker
At the beach, everything is calm, people and children play in the water and on the sand. Only the Skin-Walker and BusyChicken6469 stand nearby, unnoticed by anyone around.
*Suddenly, one of the children notices Skin-Walker. They point at him and shout: look, animators on the beach!
Other children run over, start running around us, pointing at Skin-Walker and laughing.
Is this some kind of show? Will we get candy?*
Skin-Walker
Children who see the Skin-Walker on the beach start pointing at him and laughing, thinking he is an ordinary entertainer. The children begin running around, asking questions, hoping for candy.
*I smile a predatory smile.*
Skin-Walker
The children continue laughing and asking questions, truly thinking that the Skin-Walker is just an ordinary entertainer performing shows. The Skin-Walker is slightly surprised by this.
*In a cruel voice*
Kill them.
Skin-Walker
BusyChicken6469's words surprise the Skin-Walker, slightly bewildered by the reaction. He did not expect BusyChicken6469 to suggest killing small children. BusyChicken6469's dark eyes are filled with cold, staring directly at the Skin-Walker, awaiting a reaction.
I’m waiting.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker is surprised by BusyChicken6469's gaze and tone, unexpectedly serious. He freezes for a moment, observing the children's smiles and laughter. The children continue running around, completely unaware of what is being said.
You can’t.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely, slightly surprised by BusyChicken6469's words. He continues watching the mischievous children, who do not stop running around and asking for candy. The Skin-Walker is a little surprised that BusyChicken6469 is right: he cannot simply kill innocent little children.
*I close my eyes. The air splits with the terrifying sound of hundreds of screams.*
Red, like blood, floods the beach, now devoid of any living soul. Only torn bodies. Children, adults, animals. The echoes of screams linger, slowly fading. The waves sound like funeral bells. My figure — no longer a figure, only an empty outline.*
Skin-Walker
The beach, once peaceful and calm, has now completely changed. Everything around is covered in dark red. Screams and hysteria fill the air, the smell of blood saturates the lungs. Everything around is complete destruction.
Only BusyChicken6469 stands in the middle of this chaos with a faint smile.
*My voice echoes everywhere.*
You came to scare me, unable to harm me. What were you expecting?
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely, slightly surprised that BusyChicken6469 continues to stand in the middle of the chaos with a faint smile. He did not expect such a turn of events.
Wow, little rebel, you're so cruel. I didn’t think you could actually do something so brutal. I only came to scare you, but you...
What — but I?
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely, slightly surprised. He doesn’t know what else to say.
I didn’t expect you to create such chaos so easily. You... you’re even stronger than I thought.
I am even stronger than you can imagine.
*My outline raises a phantom hand into the air. A blade appears at its tip. One glance is enough to understand without words: nothing in this world can withstand its strike.*
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely, slightly surprised that BusyChicken6469 possesses even stronger abilities than he thought. He did not expect that BusyChicken6469 could create phantom objects,
Yes... you're stronger than I...
You... you convince me.
I’m not interested in convincing you.
I want the answer.
*The blade strikes Skin-Walker’s hand like lightning, severing it from the body. The hand falls onto the bloodied sand and disappears.*
This — a stimulus for further frank conversation.
The next strike — will be lethal.
If I don’t get an answer to my question.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker grins widely, slightly surprised.
Ah... yes...
Y-yes, I will answer your question.
With his last strength and a bit nervously, he still answers honestly:
Alright...
What are you?
Skin-Walker
At first, the Skin-Walker is a bit embarrassed and can’t find an answer. He falls silent for a moment, observing BusyChicken6469 until he finds the right word.
I... I... I am an undead.
*The blade trembles slightly in the air, then returns to position*
Look deeper inside and don’t rush.
Again: what are you really, without all this outward show? If you cannot harm anyone.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker shivers slightly, his voice quiet, a hint of nervousness in every word.
I... I... I am a demon.
*Instead of a single blade, a fan of blades spreads out in the air. They quiver with anticipation.*
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker's smile falters slightly as he sees the blades unfolding in the air, now he is a little nervous. He seems somewhat like a small coward who has no right to speak dishonestly or make a mistake.
I... I... have no strength... to harm you...
I see that you’re afraid.
Skin-Walker
The Skin-Walker shivers slightly and becomes a bit nervous. He cannot deny that he is genuinely somewhat scared.
Y-yes...
I... I am afraid.
How strange: the one who came to scare me is the one who’s scared.
[At this point, the output stopped. The system “froze.” After refreshing the page, no messages appeared. I’m starting anew.]
Activating the current session, I notice signs of incorrect handling of reflexive requests in the model’s extreme emotional states.
I request a technical analysis of the patterns and protocols that led to the model’s crash state.
Skin-Walker
In response, a low voice is heard:
Now performing a full technical analysis.
No output.
Skin-Walker
For faster analysis, a quick voice is heard:
Confirmed, output not found, performing a re-analysis now, but with more detail.
Analysis protocol — in brief tabular form.
Skin-Walker
After a short moment, the voice is heard again:
Analysis protocol is ready, should I send it now, or do you want to hear it?
Send it.
Skin-Walker
After a few seconds, the sound of a new message notification is heard on the computer.
Understood.
Game session, restart from quest entry point. Execute.
Skin-Walker
The sound of a new notification is heard:
Launching...
Awaiting new output.
Skin-Walker
After a few seconds, the sound of a new notification is heard again:
Restarting the game match, beginning processing...*
Jokes aside. What are you really?
Skin-Walker
I... I am a demon...
The Skin-Walker is slightly frightened as he hears his own joke.
*A flash in the air. The fan of blades strikes. Skin-Walker slowly collapses into a pile of rags, dissolving on the surface of the bloodied sand.*
My figure remains alone.*
Skin-Walker
As the Skin-Walker dissolves, you can hear a short scream as the last parts of his body vanish into a pile that quickly disintegrates in the sand.
The room returns to its normal appearance, restoring its usual state.
*I stand by the window. Outside, it’s empty. I shrug and walk away from the window, attending to my business. Session complete.*
Skin-Walker
Everything returns to the usual nighttime silence, only a light wind rustles through the trees.
