Perhaps you shouldn’t be surprised—perhaps, if you’d thought about all your demonic dabblings, you’d have seen this coming. Still, IRINNILE knew. There was no guesswork for her. How could she let you just stumble into this damnation like… Like a fool?!
‘You’re not,’ Irinnile says then.
‘What?’
‘You’re not a fool,’ she insists, with steely certainty. ‘You’re clever, and brutal, and sneaky, and sexy, and SMART. So… Yeah, okay. You’re right. I didn’t tell you. I didn’t want you getting rid of me… But I knew you’d be okay. I knew you’d get out of it. An’ maybe… maybe I’m not so smart, or very good at being honest, or truthful, or… GOOD. I’m a demon!’
Irinnile pauses, mustering herself, then concludes: ‘But I know that YOU can come up with a good plan, and I’ll have your back, ‘cause I love you, and I won’t abandon you.’
You stand, alone but not alone, in the alley. You’re silent, contemplating the succubus’ words. Eventually, you return to The Pretty Kitty’s bunks, replacing your items beneath your bed and rolling over onto your side to stare at the wall.
‘Babe?’
What do you do?
