‘Mmmmm, FUCK,’ Irinnile moans. ‘That’s that GOOD shit. It’s weird—it’s like all my senses are sharper, my mind faster, my body…’
‘You don’t have a body,’ you correct her.
‘Oh, but if I DID, what a fuckin’ body it would BE!’ she says giddily. ‘I bet I could possess and even simultaneously control, like, a dozen people now! Maybe even shapeshift ‘em while I’m at it! We should do some tests.’
‘You’re exaggerating,’ you surmise.
‘Only a little,’ Irinnile pouts. ‘Bet I could at least control a couple at once, and change their bodies at least a little. Bet I could even patch you up against magic weapons, if they weren’t… Like, holy or some shit. I bet they’d show me some respect back home now, too! I can finally keep you safe after you… You know, croak!’
You do FEEL different, you must admit. Irinnile’s presence feels… Heavier. You feel FULLER, in away that isn’t quite physical, and that you can’t quite describe. Her presence feels more… Dominant. It’s honestly a little off-putting, as if she is no longer hidden away in a corner of your inner world, but rather shares dominion over your body… Almost in equal measure.
‘We should deal with The Incubus,’ you say.
“It IS high time we had a talk, isn’t it?”
You look up with a start at the door of your room at the brothel. Your last client-turned-acolyte is gone… But now someone else stands there, a human you do not recognize… But speaking with a confident tone all too familiar.
“The Incubusss, I pressume?” you say.
The human—the avatar of The Incubus—smiles darkly, and his eyes transform into inscrutable pools of darkness. It is answer enough.
