Guess I'm stuck with you 'YUP!! :D' [ShinKami]
Posted: Mon Feb 15, 2021 3:42 am
"Alright, all I need now is the last sigil and a few drops f blood...." Droned Shinso quietly to himself, referencing a rather large, dusty tome he had found in his adoptive father's attic, that webby and stuffy place where the young, but tired young man had taken to performing a ritual. Well, his aim was to merely cure his boredom, as well as his morbid curiosity regarding the occult. Was magic real, as well as the forced of light and shadow, angels, demons and the in-between? He didn't know, and with this, he'll find out either way.
Taking an embroidery needle, he pricked his left pinky after marking the last sigil in the summoning circle. "Here goes nothing...." He murmured softly, before reading the incantation on the yellowed pages of the rome in his free hand, willing this to work, should this even be possible. Blood droplets soaking into the chalk drawn on aged wood, and words spoken, the ritual, supposedly, had been completed. Shinso sat in the almost stifling, anxious silence as he waited for something to happen. Anything, really.
After what felt like forever, he let out a dissatisfied, exhausted sigh as he cleaned his pinprick and wrapped it with a bandage, working on packing up his things. "That was pointless.... Well, at least demons aren't real, spare for those that walk like man." He said nonchalantly, making his way towards the attic's door and ladder, unaware of the soft, crackling glow running along the circle drawn on the old wooden attic floor behind him.

“Got an assignment for you, Kaminari,” the pitch black demon spoke, almost sounding amused. Her long, black tail flicked back and forth, her glowing yellow eyes piercing right through the smaller, more human looking demon. “Got a skeptic trying to summon someone up top.” She gestured to the screen that displayed a violet-haired boy crouched in an attic over a nearly completed circle. He moved in slow motion but that was pretty normal at this rate; time always moved slower down here.
“Name’s Hitoshi Shinso. Cute guy but not much of a real charmer. Figured we’d send an interesting little Lust demon like you to drive him down here.” The demon grinned. “Try to get it done within the year. Of course, if it’s too hard for you, you can always back out.”
Denki shook his head, standing up straight and grinning wildly. “Nah! I got it! Won’t let ya down, Lillith!”
“Right, right, suuuure. Have fun, sweetheart~” she purred, patting his head as she sent the demon on his way.
~~
The circle lit up slowly at first, then quickly. Small arcs of electricity shot off the blood then increased in intensity and frequency. Smoke billowed out after them before a deep red portal opened up in the middle of the circle. Denki’s little black wings lifted him out of the portal and let it close up underneath his feet. He grinned, folding his arms and resting his chin on them. “Well, you’ve got a pretty cute face there. Bet it makes ya popular with alllll the girls.”
The demon was clad in a blood red button up shirt and a black vest and black pair of pants. Underneath his shirt was a black, leather harness, disappearing underneath the red fabric. It connected to a choker around his neck. A black, forked tail slipped out from between his pants and his top layers. Black horns stuck out from his soft, blonde hair, a black lightning bolt on the left side. He grinned, flying over to hover in front of Hitoshi. “Name’s Denki. It’s a pleasure to meetcha. So, what kind of thing are you looking for? Money? Power? The ability to make anyone fall in love with you? One wild night with a dark otherworldly being?” He chuckled, leaning forward slightly.

When the greater crackling began, Shinso turned around, his normally exhausted gaze grew alarmed, but no less curious as he watched the demon emerge from his drawn circle on the wooden floor. The summoning actually worked-- and it produced what looked like a mostly humanoid demon, too! However, as the other came close, and began to speak to him, he began to get the feeling he had a lust demon on his hands. Not that he was complaining, really, but he would have preffered one for pride, or perhaps a jack of all trades sort.
"Flattery won't get you anywhere if it's a flat-out lie." Shinso replied to the other's compliment, knowing damn well his eye bags had bags. "As for what I want, I never really put thought to it. Never thought I'd get this far, really." He admitted dryly, looking fairly unimpressed. "What kind of demon are you? What are you capable of? Any rules in particular I have to be concerned with in case you try to pull some nasty genie bullshit on me?" He then asked, crossing his arms over his chest, deeply serious.
He may seem tired, but he was no less intelligent-- almost as calculating as his adoptive father, and near the top of his class. "Also, do I have to worry about you being seen by others, be it as you are now, or without all the demonic features?" He then asked, wondering if he'd have to pretend the other wasn't around, or have to explain his new "friend" to people he knew.
-----
“Me? Lie? Never. I may be a demon but I have standards. That’s just insulting. He shook his head, watching as Hitoshi asked his questions and worked through all of this. He was a lot calmer than people were normally. Usually the blond’s- or really any demon’s- appearance was met with shocked gasps and attempts and saying they were just playing around and didn’t mean to summon them.
Not Hitoshi, no. Definitely smarter than he looked. Calm, rational. Could make this assignment harder. Denki grinned. “Nope! Us demons are pretty straight forward. You say ‘make me a sandwich’ and we’ll go make a sandwich, not turn you into one. ‘Course, we won’t take that too lightly. We know an insult when we see one. And, every deal comes with a price. Usually your soul. Humanity. Other things. You want unlimited power? Maybe I take away your ability to find meaningful love. Depends on the day.”
Denki shrugged. “I’m a lust demon. I specialize in any of your wildest sexual fantasies, need for true love, sexual domination, anything to do with knocking boots together. Of course, I can do other things, but, Y’know, everyone has their niche.” He settled himself on his feet. “And that depends entirely on what you want. I can be seen by others like this, or normally, or I can just disappear from their view alone. Or maybe I’ll just mess with you, keep you on your toes.” He leaned in again. “So, you summoned up a demon without knowing what you want? Ballsy.”
-----
"Then you must have tastes similar to my louder adoptive dad." He replied, a quirk in his brow. "If I could get it myself, then what's the point of making someone else do it for you unless they're being paid for it? No, I'll figure something out for what you can do for me. Again, didn't think I'd get this far." He shrugged faintly, going with the flow of the situation in his own way. "Will you make me aware of the price for whatever I ask for before the deal is struck? I'd like to be able to weigh my options before deciding on anything."
"I had a feeling, from how flirtatious you were. I'll tell you now, I won't be happy if you try to do your temptation thing on me if you ever get hungry. I might not look it, but I would prefer to have a meaningful relationship with whomever I have intimate affairs with." He stated a bit firmly, before relaxing again. "However, I may be open to some things if you ask nicely. Just be aware I have the right to say no." He added, before running a hand through his messy purple hair with a sigh. "I'd say look human if you're following me in public, and invisible should my dads tell you to 'go home'. Not, right on the spot, but after going outside, then sneaking back in quietly. I Don't want any headaches."
He leaned back faintly when the other leaned in, quirking his brow once more. "What will happen if I can't think of anything as far as a deal goes? Am I stuck with you until I die, or....?" He asked, only, slightly regretting his morbid curiosity, if only for the fact that he didn't know how he'd handle babysitting a lust demon.
