The One You Feed
Same Old Satellite for Liana
"Lianas compete with forest trees for sunlight, water and nutrients from the soil. Forests without lianas grow 150% more fruit; trees with lianas have twice the probability of dying. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liana
Liana (they/them) is the parasitic monster from the the mystical forest, who has identified Hayden as a source of the negativity off of which they feed. They are very charming at first, and manipulate Hayden into bringing them with her into the real world and carrying them with her wherever she goes.
Although this creature is ageless and neither male nor female, in the forest, Liana appears to Hayden in a form Hayden can readily identify with and trust (whether it be a fellow teenager, a sibling, a parental figure, etc.). In the real world, Liana exists only in Hayden's head.
Liana should have two different voices. Their voice in the forest is charming and persuasive (with a bit of the same mystical feeling of the forest itself) and their voice in the real world is truly monstrous: slimy, fetid, oozing, hungry, creepy, foul, deceitful ... altogether disturbing.
(In the forest) Oh dear, that wasn’t nice, was it? Don’t you just hate it when people who are such trash get treated like they’re royalty? It’s not right. You deserve more. Take me along, and I can help you.
(Real world) You know, she’s correct. You have so much potential. You really should use it sometimes.
(Real world - this voice should demonstrate the true essence of this parasitic being. The words are spoken among other vocalizations, whether they be hisses or screeches, sounds of eating, sucking, or slurping, wails, moans, and all sorts of nastiness! Let loose and be creative!)
Worthless….. Useless…. Incompetent…. Pathetic…. Broken... (feel free to improvise)
Great vocalizations at the end! (I mean, they were disgusting, but that's great in this case!)
Thank you! Glad you liked 'em!
