Why, despite her, erm, <span class="mu-i">overzealous</span> tendencies,” The mage explains as he and Rodhi share a knowing nod, “The <span class="mu-g">HIGH SC-</span>errr, <span class="mu-r">IZITHA</span> was one of the first researchers to really delve into <span class="mu-r">DEMONIC SYMBIOSIS!</span>
In the past most, if not all, of our onsite demonologists would make pacts with demons for an agreed-upon period of time… Once the contract was filled, the demon would return to their plane with more essence and a better understanding of other planes while the researcher would learn more about the demon that they hosted!”
So it’s like a field trip, huh?
“Yes,” The mage shrugs, “Let’s go with that explanation.”
“But suppose the demon loses control…” Sybil continues with a frown on her face, “What would happen to the host?”
“Well in more violent cases, we’d have a breach on our hands.” Replies Teevor. “You know how <span class="mu-i">that</span> goes. Whether the relationship is hostile or otherwise, however, the host may pass out from <span class="mu-b">HYPOVITAEA</span>, a significant loss of essence, slip into a coma, or even expire in extreme cases. But this,” he continues, gesturing to you and your new ‘<span class="mu-i">pal</span>’, “I don’t see why it couldn’t work.”
You do, you interrupt! You’ve already got <span class="mu-g">LY</span> riding around inside of you–what’s gonna happen to him, huh?
“Yea!” Ly shouts! “I was here first, toots!”
“I was pondering that, actually.” Teevor sighs as he looks you up and down. Hey, your eyes are up here, buddy! “Yes, I’m aware of that. This ‘<span class="mu-i">Ly</span>’ entity of yours… he expresses <span class="mu-i">some</span> characteristics of a demonic symbiote, but not all of them–therefore I don’t believe it would be difficult for our friend here to assimilate.”
“<span class="mu-r">I’ll take anyone!</span>” Pleads <span class="mu-r">DEMON STAN</span> from within your chinlock! “<span class="mu-r">I won’t even ask to be let out much–just please… PLEASE let me stay before that portal closes!</span>”
Riiight, you nod, if that portal goes away then her connection’s cut, isn’t it?
“<span class="mu-r">Yes…</span>” The demon nods with a pout on her face. “<span class="mu-r">A-and I’ll find my way back eventually! Don’t mess with me, bitch!</span>”
Is… is <span class="mu-i">that</span> what you sound like? Sheesh...
