The Simi Has Needs. Lots Of Needs. I Need Akri’s Plastic Card, For One Thing. It Very Nice. People Give Me Lots Of Stuff When I Hand It To Them. Ooo, I Really Like The New Plastic Card He Gave Me With My Own Name On It. It Blue And All Sparkly And It Says Simi Parthenopaeus. Doesn’t That Have A Nice Ring To It? I Have To Say It Again. Simi Parthenopaeus. I Like That A Lot. It Even Has My Picture In The Corner And I Am A Very Attractive Demon If I Do Say So Myself. Akri Says It, Too. ‘simi, You Are Beautiful.’ I Like It When He Tells Me That. (simi)
