The full moon's glow illuminated the town in a soft, silver blue light. The streets seemed to be quiet, the air crisp with the new season. The town itself seemed to be readying for All Hallows Eve, the night when the Spirits and Ghouls come out to play and cause mischief among the living. Even though that night has yet to come, a demon lingers in

It was Anise, sitting in a chair playing wish granter. It was cute in an odd way.
Perhaps what amused the man was the very real possibility that it might not be Anise at all; merely something that looked like her. He finally finished coming up the path and looked the girl over. "Well, good evening Anise~ I heard I might have a wish granted?"

Smiling, the devil sat up, looking overly amused that he was here. Maybe he'd want so big it would cost him his soul~
"So tell me, what is your wish? Then we can discuss payments~

It sounded dangerous even to him. "Well...Perhaps we can discuss a few things, I might want?"

Still...what was his life worth? Anything anymore? Probably not. "I want...power. I want all the power I can get. I want confidence in myself; to not be worried by ridiculous things." He hadn't been paying attention to himself, but he had gripped the girl's shoulders as he spilled out more, desires of popularity, talent, skill, all the things he had convinced himself he lacked and coveted, if she'd been a human, he would have long passed the point of pain for her, as it was, he was gripping so tightly his knuckles had turned white and he felt like he was about to snap a bone if he didn't lessen his grip soon. Only when he finished though, he did let go, a bit surprised, and backing up a few steps.
That had scared him.

Dusting herself off after her backed away, crimson eyes gazed at him, regarding him curiously. She could see he already had a lit of talent, he was just lacking charisma...and apparently power too. After a moment she finally spoke.
"I suppose I could grant all of that at the price of your soul and perhaps a bit more..." she needed to figure out what though, it was hard since his wish was so heavy.

He moved back in after a moment, smiling softly. Giving a small toss of his hair, he knelt, taking one of the little demon's hands and holding it up to his lips, pressing a light kiss to her as he looked up. "I'm sure we can arrange something~" Though, the emphasis he put on something implied he had only one other thing to give; his body.

"Does the price of your soul and blood, and body sound appropriate?" She asked, wondering if he would really sacrificed those things.

He tried, and stopped again.
It was definitely nice, but was it what he wanted? He sighed and pushed it away, back toward the demon.
"Instead..." He began, and pondered whether she'd agree. "Perhaps just some confidence to start with. That will tell me whether I really want everything else." He decided, happier with that one instead of one that would doom him near-instantly. "What would the price of that be?"

"To get confidence all you need is a bottle of this~" And with saying that, she made a bottle of alcohol appear out of then air. Tequila to be exactly, with another snap of her fingers, a mixed drink appeared and she handed it to the man.
"Drink it all~"

Joke aside, why not? At least it was free. Dist started working through the drink and bottle quickly, alternating, though he was soon favoring the bottle more as the alcohol over took him.
He laughed, leaning against the demon, and working into her chair. He loved a good chair. It takes a lot of good craftsmanship to make one.
"Thish isn't sooooooo bad." It wasn't. It wasn't at all. He really did feel more confident, but he was also a lot more susceptible to what was in the air.

It didn't take him that long to get what appeared to be shit-faced. He was even bold enough to try and move into her chair! His confidence was definitely through the roof, drinking a little too much liquid courage in her opinion.
"Do you feel like you want to complete the contract now that you feel more courageous ~?"

Power, he did want. But for some reason she seemed very tempting herself. Leaning closer, he slipped an arm around her waist, his hand drifting to her thigh, squeezing it lightly.
"I might just settle for you instead~"
Reply
"You can't wish for me silly~" she told him. "But I suppose I don't mind giving you a small taste♥"
She then leaned forward, pressing a kiss to his lips. Not just any kind of kiss though, this one contained a spell that would put him to sleep for a few hours.
