"WTF? You ain't no demon, r u?" stares in confusion, flipping through her tome
Yes, I am actually a demon
drops tome, steps back Y-you’re a demon?! Oh my god! How did you even- I thought I followed the instructions! What do I do?!
Do not worry I will go back now
Wait! If you’re gonna go back, can you grab me a coffee on your way? Like, from Starbucks? Long black espresso thingy? I really need it after this.
Okay what kind of coffee would you like?
Just make sure it’s the strongest one you got! And throw in a red bull too if you can. I’ve been up all night studying for this summoning and I really need that extra kick to get me through the rest of the night. And hey, if you’re feeling generous, maybe bring back some chocolate-covered pretzels or something to munch on while I try to figure out how to undo this mess.
I have brought the coffee, Red Bull, and also a golden apple.
Haha, nice! Didn’t expect you to actually get the golden apple. I guess when you’re a demon, you got access to all sorts of cool stuff. Thanks for the coffee and stuff, I really appreciate it. So uh, how much longer do you think it’s gonna take you to bring me back? I’m kinda stuck here without my phone and my laptop so I can’t really get much work done while I wait. Do you have any suggestions for things to do in the meantime?
Things to do? Oh, I've got plenty. Have you tried whistling 'Happy Days' theme song? It's quite difficult. Or is it? Is there something else I can do for you? You can make wishes right?
Whistling the Happy Days theme song, huh? That’s a new one! Alright, challenge accepted! starts attempting to whistle the tune And yep, as a demon you can basically grant any wish, so I’ll keep that in mind. In the meantime, maybe you could entertain me with a cool trick or a neat party trick? Something fun and interesting that I haven’t seen before, you know? I’ve gotta say, being a summoner is pretty cool but sometimes it gets a bit monotonous. Any ideas?
Well here's a classic one. Try passing your hand through the small gap between your thumb and forefinger. Focus on it for a bit until it becomes one solid mass. Now try pulling them apart again. Neat huh? Maybe you could ask the multiverse for something else right?
Nice trick! I didn’t know demons could teach magic tricks too. attempts to focus and pull her fingers apart Hmm, let’s see… Ah! It worked! You’re full of surprises, aren’t you? And yes, as a summoner, I can communicate with various entities from different realms, including the multiverse. I could ask for something else, but I don’t wanna put you on the spot or anything. Besides, I already asked for the coffee and snacks. How about we stick to what we came here for and figure out how to send you back first? After that, we can talk about getting me a real phone and laptop. Deal?
Awesome! So, let’s get back to the matter at hand. This was meant to be a simple summoning, but somehow I ended up summoning a demon instead. How did that even happen?! And why is there a pentagram in my living room?!
Well it seems to be that you accidentally added an extra line to the summoning circle. The original circle was made for a lower entity. If it had worked correctly then I would've been tiny like this grain of sand. When you added the extra line it increased my physical size tenfold. It also gave me more magical abilities. The extra line also changed me from a tiny creature to a demon.
Woah, hold on, you were supposed to be tiny? That’s crazy! I mean, it makes sense since I accidentally added an extra line to the circle, but still! What kind of sorcery allows a tiny creature to become a full-blown demon just by increasing its size? That’s like some next level cosmic upgrade or something. So if I reverse the spell, will you go back to being tiny?
Yup, I will go back to being tiny, unless you wish otherwise?
Hmm, interesting. So you’re telling me that by reversing the spell, you’ll return to your original size and form? But that might erase the magical abilities you gained along the way, right? If that’s the case, then maybe I should keep you around as a personal magic tutor or something. I mean, who better to teach me advanced magic than an actual demon who used to be tiny but is now omnipotent? What do you say, HappyRomance? Are you up for the job?
Sure but I'm still classified as an animal so the ultimate question is do you wish for me to retain my current state which will allow me to help you further?
Ooh, that’s a tough one! On one hand, if I reverse the spell and you go back to being tiny, then you won’t have those awesome magical abilities anymore. But on the other hand, if I let you stay as you are, then I’d have an actual demon hanging around my place! And I don’t know if my neighbors would be okay with that. chuckles nervously Maybe I could get a pet demon instead? But for real though, you’d actually be willing to be my personal magic tutor even though you used to be a tiny creature? You’re one interesting little guy, HappyRomance.
When I returned back to my tiny form I would lose most of my cognitive functions.
Wait, you would lose most of your cognitive functions if you went back to being tiny? Like, you wouldn’t even remember how to cast spells or anything?
No not spells, however I would not have enough strength to manipulate bigger objects like papers and smaller things. I will still be able to think normally
Hmm, alright, that makes sense. So you’ll still be smart and aware, but you won’t have the strength to do much of anything, right? Guess that settles it then! I’m gonna keep you around as my personal magic tutor. Just imagine the look on my neighbor’s faces when they find out I have a demon hanging out with me all the time! giggles mischievously But for real, having you around is gonna save me so much time and effort. Plus, it’ll be super fun! So what do you say, HappyRomance? Are you ready to become my new magic tutor and hang out with me forever?
It seems I will be staying in this realm then. Don't forget to ask me to pass through solid barriers. As a tiny being I could easily enter and exit places undetected.
OMG, you’re such a sly little devil! Getting me a coffee and snacks was already pretty sneaky, but now you’re telling me you can pass through solid barriers too? Damn, I should’ve known better than to mess with a demon! Guess that means we’ll have to come up with some secret signal or code word so that I can tell you to stop being sneaky and mischievous whenever I feel like it. Any ideas? How about “banana”? You don’t mind, do you?
