D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad

Chapter 12: Five Questions Left

"Promise me, promise me you won\'t hurt me please," begged Berthelm.

*I kinda feel bad for this poor guy. Am I taking this too far? Nah this is pretty funny, and besides nothing is actually going to happen to him. *

"That isn\'t a question," said Kat.

shaking the man sputtered out a string of nearly incoherent words."WherecanIfindtheloveofmylife,whenwillIdie?" spat Berthelm, before breathing deeply trying to stop himself hyperventilating.

"I. Don\'t. Know," said Kat. "Your problems are your own Berthelm. Come, I thought you wanted to know about demons?"

The man collapsed on all fours, sweat dripping from his face and hands, before it all stopped. A glassed look came over the man as he slowly stood up and looked Kat in the face, "How do demons access different dimensions?" he asked.

"Using something older than even myself, I know not the inner workings," said Kat.Berthelm nodded, as if this was to be expected.

"Are greater demons truly immortal?" asked Berthelm.

"Well, I\'ve never seen one die, and every single one I know still exists," said Kat settling into a more passive expression to try and match Berthelm.

"Finally, how much of this day did you plan for?" asked Berthelm.

"Enough," said Kat with a small inclination of her head which was matched by Berthelm. He had a strange look on his face as if all the mysteries of the world had somehow been answered for him. He nodded once more at Kat before collapsing face first onto the floor.

* Well that sure was fun… I really do think I went a bit overboard here but this was hilarious. The dude thought I was stronger than him and that there are countless demons ready to break down the dimensional walls if someone pisses them off. Though then again, as he mentioned we can cross dimensions somehow so maybe the demons could do pretty much everything I said. Aw, well not my problem. * The tunnel of fire engulfed her again. Kat relaxed and let the colours float by, taking in the tunnel as it sent her on her way.

Kat was deposited back in her room but before she could begin preparing for bed, the familiar letters burned in front of her.

CONGRATULATIONS USER KAT, D.E.M.O.N.S THANKS YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. YOU HAVE COMPLETED THIS TASK TO AN UNIMAGINED STANDARD AND D.E.M.O.N.S HAS DECIDED TO REWARD YOU WITH TWO FAVOUR TOKENS INSTEAD OF THE ONE INITIALLY OFFERED FOR THE SPECIAL CONTRACT. TO USE THESE TOKENS PLEASE VISIT THE SHOP SECTION.

* Shop? I haven\'t heard anything about a shop. What are you even talking about?*

USER KAT DOES NOT YET HAVE THE REQUIRED RANK TO ACCESS THE SHOP. MUST BE AT LEAST RANK 1 TO ACTIVATE THIS FEATURE.

* Well, can I use one of those favour tokens to activate the shop early?*

USER KAT IS CORRECT, THE TOKENS COULD BE USED FOR THIS HOWEVER D.E.M.O.N.S SUGGESTS THAT USER KAT DOES NOT CONTINUE WITH THAT OPERATION AS IT IS A DISGRACEFUL MISUSE OF THE TOKENS POTENTIAL.

* Well what do they even do? I know I accepted the job and everything but what can I even get with favour tokens? *

D.E.M.O.N.S FAVOUR TOKENS CAN BE USED FOR AN EXCEPTIONALLY LONG LIST OF SERVICES. IT IS BEST FOR USER KAT TO THINK OF SUCH THINGS AS A WISH FOR ALMOST ANYTHING. PLEASE NOTE HOWEVER THAT D.E.M.O.N.S IS NOT OMNIPOTENT OR BENEVOLENT AND SOME OUTRAGEOUS SUGGESTION WILL BE OUTRIGHT IGNORED. ADDITIONALLY, USER KAT IS FORBIDDEN FROM MENTIONING THE DETAILS OF THE TOKENS TO OUTSIDERS. USER KAT IS ONLY PERMITTED TO SAY THAT SHE HAS THEM AND THAT SHE IS UNABLE TO SPEAK FURTHER ON THE MATTER. ANY ATTEMPTS TO BYPASS THIS LIMIT WILL RESULT IN PUNISHMENT.

* Well, great, Kat thought as she stretched. Pausing halfway through the stretch, Kat remembered that her outfit was supposed to accommodate her tail now. Repositioning herself and stretching, a shudder ran up Kat\'s spine and she let herself relax.

* Ah, I should have done this earlier. I can hardly compare this to the few times I could unwind my tail in after a long day. The ability to move it properly with clothes on is such a benefit. * Kat enjoyed herself for a little longer before being interrupted once again by the system

D.E.M.O.N.S INTERRUPTS USER KAT WITH NEW INFORMATION. IT APPEARS THAT THE NEXT STAGE OF USER KAT\'S AWAKENING WILL INVOLVE MORE CHANGES THAN EXPECTED AND WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANTLY MORE MESS THEN IT HAS PRIOR. D.E.M.O.N.S RECOMMENDS KAT FIND SOME WAY TO CONTAIN THIS SUCH AS A LARGE SHEET OR GARBAGE BAG.

* Oi, don\'t just say something like that out of nowhere, what the hell is going to happen to me. *

D.E.M.O.N.S IS SIMPLY MAKING BEST GUESS BASED ON USER KAT\'S MOST RECENT STATUS UPON TRAVELING THROUGH THE SUMMONING SYSTEM. D.E.M.O.N.S CAN ONLY GUESS AT USER KAT\'S NEXT TRANSFORMATION AND IS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM ANYTHING AT THIS TIME.

* Great just what I wanted to hear. Ok Kat, what options do we have. Flinging open her closet doors, Kat scanned the thing for anything useful. * No old sheets, we don\'t even really have spares, um… wait it\'s cleaning day tomorrow, I should be able to find one of the larger garbage bags for whatever is happening. *

Quickly but silently making her way downstairs, Kat made her way through the dining room into the kitchen and found the oversized rubbish bags used to store the kids bags before dropping them in the bin outside. Grabbing it and making her way back to her room, Kat sat on her bed unsure of what to do with it.

D.E.M.O.N.S RECOMMENDS USER KAT UNDERGO AWAKENING FROM WITHIN THE CHOSEN COLLECTION METHOD.

* Oh, what great advice \'burning text\'. Falling asleep in a garbage bag is way up on my priority list. * Kat sighed to herself, wondering about the life choices that had led her to such a decision. *Are you certain this is the best way D.E.M.O.N.S? Surely sleeping like this is going to cause more problems than it solves. *

USER KAT, D.E.M.O.N.S WILL NOT REPEAT THE MESSAGE AGAIN. D.E.M.O.N.S HAS BEEN GENEROUS WITH THESE SUGGESTIONS IN LIGHT OF THE OWNERSHIP OF TWO FAVOUR TOKENS AND WHILE SUCH ADVICE IS EASY TO PROVIDE IT IS SIMPLY A WASTE OF RESOURCE TO CONTINUALLY REPEAT THE SAME ADVICE FOR USERS WHO ARE UNWILLING TO LISTEN.

*Fine, fine, I get it. Alright I\'ll sleep in the bag. Sheesh I just hope that I wake up in less pain then the first two times. Is that too much to ask? Peaceful transformations?* Kat grabbed a pillow and pulled it onto the floor before covering herself in the bag.

After much tossing and turning, Kat finally managed to sleep.
