This is too damn luck reliant. This is why we should have been a chaos demon, all we had to do then was kill the master, come back, kill the kid, then go on a murdering spree.

...Huh? How would we do that? We'd still be bound.

He's knowingly summoned a Trickery demon. No human being can be sufficiently stupid to do that and not expect some, well, trickery.

You'd be amazed at how stupid even the smartest people are.
And this guy summoned a demon, a type of demon which is noted as hard to control, when no one was around, probably for miles.
He's not the best at thinking ahead, if at all.

I like the idea of playing at being an innocent woman saved from the jaws of hell or something.

[flame99]

Why do I have the feeling we will eventually become a succubus/incubus? Not that they aren't trickster demons, but still.

[Thecard]

I don't know, why do you have that feeling?

[Jbg97]

I don't know, why do you have that feeling?

You sugested we seduce a teenager to kill them. Pretty sucubus-y to me.

[GreatWyrmGold]

No, foobi are Lust Demons.
Lust is a useful tool, but not a required one.

Oh, all right, let's go for a bit of both

You cower in the pentagram's edge the furthest away from the boy, shivering on your whole body, tears running from your face, seemingly ignoring the boy. He's very irritated by this, probably would have expected more howling, growling and clawing. He's irritated for several minutes, while you remain in this state. Finally he seems having brought himself to some action, clears his throat, and asks What are you? Well. You've seen better questions after such a surprising event. Still.
You continue getting quieter, and calmer, and finally get enough breath to ask back rather calmly Where am I?
You... I summoned you. You're in my Ma... You're in my tower. He seems to get nervous, again. What... what are you?
Thank the gods! I must have been there for... for... for ever. It was... it was so cold. So dark. And the... the... At that point, you let your voice break again, covering your face with your hands.
He seems very irritated, now. The whole thing appears to be a bit different than he imagined. How did you get there? Only demons can survive that... that Other Place.
Demons? That... An eye seems to emerge from behind your hands He... that old... he... Your voice seems to become stronger. He sacrificed me! Promised me food, a warm shelter, work... then I wake up, and am in that place... that dark... Your voice trails off again. Then you shake your head, and straighten yourself  a bit. Time for the next step. In a movement both lascivious and so innocent it could never be intended, you sit up, thanking yourself for taking on a form well equipped both in holes in, and filling for your clothes.
The apprentice, however, seems to be blessed with the ignorance inherited both by saints and people you really need something from. Or he's too distracted by the situation as a whole. Well, that's why you always keep two aces in your metaphorical sleeves.
Instead, he took the time you spent displaying unnoticed bits of yourself to compose another question Where do you come from? How did I summon you?
How should I know?, you pause. Doesn't your precious book - you spit out, taking care not to hit the pentagram's edges - tell you about this?
The boy suddenly seems to remember said book. And what was written inside of it. Like, for example "Cunninge ant deviouse they arre, ant you shuld take greate care not to listen." And so, he prepares what'd be a sensible move usually - dismissing you. It actually is a great view, seeing as he obviously practiced before. He doesn't even seem to notice that poor woman inside the pentagram, screaming What are you doing? Don't send me back! Don't send me back! Even better, of course, is his puzzled view once he realizes to usual dismissal does not work. While there are several forceful dismissals for exactly this case, you hope he does not remember them.
Uhm... that should have... Sent me back? You bastard, I can't believe it..., you continue to scream. Then, with a deep breath and a step backwards, you change your tone again. Let me... let... please, let me out. I cannot go back there. Please...
And, completely baffled as he is, he actually seems to hear at you. I'll... I'll let you out. He gulps. I'll let you out without a task, and hopefully, you'll remain here, at least until... until my master comes back. And... and helps me. He actually seems to have shrunk further at this point, but luckily is still big enough to set you free... right about... now.


It's like opening your eyes. You feel him. His presence. Human. Male. Fourteen. Apprentice. Eager, ambitious. Currently crushed. Despair.
Presence. Human. Male. Thirty five. Servant. Floor below. Presence. Human. Female. Thirty six. Servant. Next to her husband.
And, even better, you feel your success. You tricked him. You tricked an untrickable: Your summoner. Well, he wasn't that difficult to trick, but in theory, at least. You are, for lack of a better word, thrilled. Ecstatic.

Spoiler: OOC (click to show/hide)

Well, you're free. Now, what to do?
If you want a more 'standard' form, to take whenever no other is needed, now would be as good a moment as any other to chose one. After all, nothing like stepping out of a pentagram as a triumphant pancake, blue tomato or evil lettuce. Well, probably not one of those.
You can, of course, continue the charade, too, keeping your form.

Spoiler: Ourista (click to show/hide)

Status: Just summoned. Weak. Ecstatic. No longer inside the pentagram.
Form: A middle-aged woman. Hunted look. For now.
Location: Your summoning room.

Ah, I see now. One last question - what will happen if the mage fits a non-order between the starting and ending brackets incantations?

Well, you probably wouldn't need to follow it. After all, what would there be to follow?

Tell him we're not really a demon. We have been in Hell for a long time though, and could really use some company right now.

We're subtly offering him sex.

I must have misread the part where you'd so so subtly... 

Hey wait, isn't he a kid? And thecard suggested... My god we are terrible people.

Well, I didn't specify any age beside "young" until now. Mainly to represent you not being that familiar with people. Corrected that for now and, in my impeccable authority as a moral guardian, the seduction attempt failed. Mostly due to trying to seduce a frightened teenager who just summoned a demon and gotten a slightly singed, and slightly damaged human female instead. That were quite some odds against you. Plus, I think I'm incapable of writing such a scene tastefully, and by that I mean in any way but completely ludicrous.

Thank you for not turning this into a very messed up porno.

[Thecard]

True, but that has to be the least horny 14 year old ever. 

Anyways, if the jig is up, we should subtly become more and more shapeless, to the point where someone looking at us won't see the same shape twice.

If he doesn't realize we're a demon, continue the charade.

[germaina]

Have him run and grab us some food or something, and while he's gone see what powers we have access to at the moment.  See if we can modify the spell book in some way so he can't use it against us anymore.

[Gentlefish]

Yes, beg him with puppy dog eyes. I mean, a woman in hell or wherever demons are from wouldn't have food. Or water.

[flame99]

I say we beg him to get us food and water, but when he turns to leave, we kill him as soundlessly as possible, and then screw up his spell-book, in case his fellows notice us, and try to dispel us. While they probably would have a spell-book of their own if they were mage apprentices, who says they study demonology? Besides, it gives us a tiny chance thet if we ARE noticed, we aren't forcefully removed. After that, we take his appearance and get outside of the fortress. While screwing with these guys will be fun, they're mages and we aren't powerful; getting dismissed will put a damper on things. After that, we go to the nearest of the two fishing villages, and we stir up some trouble by poly-morphing into villagers and killing other villagers, so that we aren't caught.

I agree with continuing the charade, but I'm not sure if we could kill him. I also find the fear that the servants would recognize a demon misplaced.

see what powers we have access to at the moment.

You stumble forward, looking relieved, and fall down on the only chair. It is, of course, just a crazy random happenstance that said chair is standing right next to the demonology book. You again bury your face in your hands, and just for a good measure, cry a little relieved cry. But, not for long. You then look up, and ask the apprentice to Can you get me a drink, infusing your plea with a bit of magical incentive. please? I haven't drunk anything since... since too long. He seems to be really eager to get out of the room - wonder why... - and quickly agrees.  On the way out, you ask him to open the shutters. Air, after all, is something you didn't have, too.
Now, as he left - door shut tightly behind him - you take on exploring his room. It's rather small, the pentagram and table taking most of the room. A bed, and some kind of wardrobe complement the furniture. Now, how about that book? It's heavy, parchment, bound in old leather. Very badly written. Most of the information about you is false, which is quite an achievement, seeing as they don't have much of it. They know your name, true, but your form is listed as "a horrible being, eight feet tall, of red colour, with a voice too horrible for mortal ears to hear." And, according to the book you can control someone like a puppet, summon coins, and eat a human being on seconds.
That reminds you. Your abilities. What are you able to do without being blocked by the pentagram? Well... feel people, for sure. And manipulate them. In this case, at least suggest them. However, you're not sure how it'll work on someone you didn't break before.
Changing form, too. You quickly change yours now, like stretching a muscle. Big, muscular human male; small, corpulent female; humanoid devil with horns and a tail, and even try the form described in the book. You don't like it. You switch back to your old one, as you hear the apprentice coming up again. He breaths a little quicker, now, and carries in his hand a mug of - you sniff - wine. Standing before your door, he takes a deep breath, tries to straighten the robe, extends his hand and...


Now, quick decision: Do you want to kill him? If so, you may specify how, if not, too.
Deface the book? If so, how?

Let's wait on his evisceration.  We should keep him occupied as much as possible on random requests while we modify the book.
