Absinthe opened her eyes sleepily, woken from her peaceful sleep for seemingly no reason whatsoever. The pale succubus squinted at the bright bonfire just beside her, then looked down at the summoning circle drawn on the ground underneath her. With a shocked squeak, she protectively brought her white bat-like wings around her body and looked around for whoever must have summoned her this time. She even began to pray, for just a moment, that there would be no more lecherous old men tonight. Finally, her eyes fell on a beautiful young woman with pale skin, hair black as the night sky, and piercing ebony eyes that twinkled like stars in the light of the bonfire. Absinthe quickly let her guard down upon seeing such a benign-appearing human in front of the summoning circle, and took a deep breath before addressing her.
"I am Absinthe, demon of the night and fulfiller of earthly desires. Do you desire a contract?"

Lottie was a young woman in her early twenties who had only recently got into things like rituals and witchcraft, and decided to go all out and summon a demon on her first go. She was surprised when the demon woman actually appeared, her eyes widening. She heard her words, though it took her a while to answer them.
"A-Ah... Yes, I would. What exactly does a contract entail...?"

Absinthe blinked. "Uh..... You ask me to do something and I name a price? I guess um... wait.... how the heck did you summon me if you don't even know how contracts work?"

"I-I dont know... I didnt expect anything to happen if I'm honest, so I didnt look into it too extensively."

"So..... you don't even have a wish? A deep-seated desire? A revenge plan?"

Lottie blinked, thinking it over. "Well... I guess I kind of have a wish, but I dont know if your contract covers it."

The demon shrugged nonchalantly. "Try me."

"Well you see, I'm kind of an outcast everywhere I go. I dont have any friends, and people often shrink away if I try to approach them. Maybe it's my looks, maybe it's the rumors that I'm a Satanist, I dont know, but... I would like to be less lonely. I would like to have a friend."

Absinthe frowned and thought for a moment. "I can't really make someone else like you.... and I can't make a whole new person.... I guess the closest thing I could do is sorta like a companionship contract...? I've done a few of those, but most of them were... gross...."

"Well I'm not gross." She grinned mischievously. "Besides, most people cant say that their best friend is a demon."

".....you sure you're okay with me? I mean... I'm a succubus. I might take some work on the side or something. And I'd need a host, since I don't normally stay in the human realm..."

Lottie nodded. "That's fine. Friends can always spend every second together, so we will just have to make the most of what we can."

"Also... the price for a companionship contract. Since you're new to this, I suppose you don't have a partial soul, or anything containing a human's essence to offer."

She smiles nervously. "M-No, nothing like that..."

"No family heirlooms, presents from lovers..? I mean, I could also just take a part of your soul, but..."

Post by HerWhisperIsTheLucifer on Jul 25, 2018 21:33:51 GMT -5
"But what...? How bad would that be for me?"

Post by Aurelia on Jul 25, 2018 21:36:19 GMT -5
"I mean, I'd collect at your time of death, so it wouldn't change your life at all. Just your afterlife."
|

|
Post by HerWhisperIsTheLucifer on Jul 25, 2018 21:37:28 GMT -5
She shrugged. "Demons are from Hell, right? It can't be too bad. However, if you would prefer a family heirloom, I can take my mother's ring."

Absinthe blinked. "Uh.... no. And I tend to prefer souls, but it's whatever you want. Kinda like some places take cash or card, ya know?"
|

Post by HerWhisperIsTheLucifer on Jul 25, 2018 22:21:15 GMT -5
She nods. "For convenience sake, you can just take part of my soul. I really don't mind."

"I just don't want it to be... awkward.... ya know..?" she fidgeted uncomfortably as she looked away. "I mean, me supposing to be your friend and also owning like, half to two thirds of your soul...."

"Wouldnt that just make me feel closer to you...?"

Post by Aurelia on Jul 25, 2018 22:44:25 GMT -5
She blinked. "It.... would..?"
|

|
Post by HerWhisperIsTheLucifer on Jul 25, 2018 22:48:31 GMT -5
She nodded. "You would hold a part of me within you... It's kind of cute."
|
|
|
|
Post by Aurelia on Jul 25, 2018 22:54:47 GMT -5
Absinthe blushed bright red. "I-I'm not cute..! I.... uh.... let's just get this over with, okay?!"

"O-Okay...!" Lottie sat up quickly, smiling nervously. "What do I do...?"

Absinthe shoved her hand into a hidden pocket in her skirt and pulled out a locket on a white gold chain, then floated down to Lottie. "Close your eyes and imagine your wish. I'll do the rest."

She nodded and did so, closing her eyes tightly and thinking intently on her wish.

The succubus pressed her forehead against the young woman's, closed her eyes, and sealed the contract. As she did so, the locket began to glow a gentle purple, then snapped closed, holding their contract inside for the remainder of Charlotte's lifetime.

Lottie blushed profusely as her forehead was pressed against Absinthe's, waiting for the ritual to be over.
