Your Demon Bestfriend Summons You to Settle a Bet

[magic sfx]

Hey, you got a second?

*small pause*

Over here, on your left.

*small pause*

In the mirror, just look down a little.

*small pause*

There we go. Hi! I want to ask a favor of you.

*listener questions*

No, it’s nothing immoral… this time. I just need a little help with a bet.

*listener speaks*

Yes, I know. I always make bets I can’t keep, it’s going to get me hurt one day, yadda yadda. This is different. It’s harmless, it’s among friends, and if I lose the only thing damaged is my pride.

*listener disagrees*

Oh, come one, please? At least hear me out, you don’t even know what I bet!

*listener demands*

“Two minutes”? Yeah, I can explain it that fast.

(deep breath)

So I was out with some friends and-!

*listener interjects*

“Who was there”? It doesn’t matter who was there, just uh, Axylu, Twqiop, Vishyte, and Craig. Happy? Okay, I was out with them, and Vishyte started going off about the human he entered into a contract with. Couldn’t stop raving about their perfect aura, and natural cuteness, and some other garbage party tricks. Then he had the gall to say that his human was the best human slave this side of the crucifix. And I’ll admit, I was a little intoxicated. They had goat souls at the party and you know how much of a lightweight I am. Ah, I’m getting distracted!

(breath)

Anyway, I said,

{drunkenly}

“Oh yeah, well ~my~ human could beat yours any day of the week!”

{normally}

Now, I don’t remember much of this stuff, I blacked out through all of this, but apparently, I continued with some very choice words about Vishyte, Vishyte’s human, and both of their mothers. So Vishyte called my bluff and offered a contest. I said yes, then went on with my night. Problem is, when I woke up in the morning, I had no memory of any of that! And I didn’t know about anything until two hours ago when Axylu reminded me that I agreed to do the contest, ~today~! So I’ve been panicking, since I don’t keep human slaves. Then I realized you’re pretty great! And you’re not a slave and I’m not asking you to be one, but maybe, you could pretend to be one and win the contest?

*listener denies*

Yeah, I know it sounds really bad, but the contest will be harmless. And nothing is on the line, besides bragging rights, so it’s okay to say no. I’d just be really grateful if you agreed.

*listener questions*

It’ll just be an hour, max! I promise.

*listener pries*

“What do you get out of it?”

{hopefully}

The undying admiration of your demon pal?

*listener denies*

“Not enough”? Fine, I thought you might say that, so I already wrote up a Tibi Debeo contract.

*listener questions*

Yes, the I.O.U. contract.

{underbreath}

Calling it that sucks all the spooky vibes out!

I’ll hold it up to the mirror so you can read it, but basically, I get to command you until your Earth sun sets, and in return, I am obligated to do one or many tasks which represent an equal or lesser Daedric value.

*pause*

Hey, I know making deals with demons is traditionally a bad thing, but we’ve been friends a long time, and I wouldn’t do anything to trick you, so if you’ll skip reading this for any loopholes and just sign that would be great.

*listener comments*

I know that sounds suspicious, but I have to present a human in like five minutes or I forfeit so I’m kind of trying to hurry this along.

*listener folds*

“You’ll do it”?! Thank you so much! Alright, just say the binding phrase, “Nuanquam Dabo Te”.

*listener repeats*

[magic sfx]

Thank you again, I promise you won’t regret this. Let me just pull you through the portal and…

[magic sfx]

Okay, if we rush, we’ll make it in time.

*pause*

Here we are. We’ll be up on the little stage in the bar. I know you don’t ~like~ unplanned public performances, but this is where the challenge was issued so we have to finish it here.

*listener questions*

“The challenge”? Yes, I suppose I’ve been keeping the subject matter pretty vague. You’ll be doing three trials, starting with fearfulness. You’ll stand up on the stage, I’ll scare you, and Vishyte will do the same with his human. The more you react the better we do. But don’t fake it, we can tell.

*listener comments*

Yeah, I know you’re not scared of me! But I’ll put on my game face and we’ll try to make it work. Just, be genuine.

*small pause*

Get on up there, we’re starting soon.

*pause*

Okay, are you ready? Try to imagine me as a demon who wants your soul, not your best friend.

(deep breaths)

(growl)

{hushed}

Hey, stop laughing! You’re throwing this for us!

(roar)

*listener laughs*

(sigh)

[bell dings]

*small pause*

That means Vishyte gets the point. We’ll have to get both of the next rounds to win this. But we should have this in the bag. The next round is affection. Like hugging and stuff. Vishyte’s human is clearly terrified of him, and we’re actually friends. Just act playful and warm. Like a puppy or… a calf? Okay, I don’t know many cute animals, but I’m sure you do! Act like that.

*pause*

Alright, I’ll just wrap my arms around you. There we go, I’m not smothering you am I?

*listener comments*

Good, we’ve got this. Just burrow into my chest or something.

*pause*

Okay, this is basically in the bag. There’s no way..!

Oh, heaven’s gates! Vishyte’s human is blushing! That’s totally going to sweep us! What are we going to do to-!

(kiss interrupts)

[bell dings]

*speaker pulls away*

We won! And you kissed me! What was that about?!

*listener speaks*

“Just displaying affection”? Okay, I guess it worked. Sudden death, for all the marbles. Human sorcery.

*listener questions*

What do you mean you can’t do magic? You do it all the time! You make cold food hot in seconds, you take stains out of clothes with potions, you can definitely do a party trick!

*listener explains*

You’re telling me that’s not magic? Well, that’s obviously not good! What are we going to do?!

*listener speaks*

Well, I guess you’re going to have to improvise, because you’ll be doing whatever alone! Figure something out! You’ll have a bit, since Vishyte has to go first. Maybe just copy whatever his human does?

[flame sfx]

*small pause*

Can you light fires?

*listener responds*

Holy hell we’re screwed. Unless you can think of something really special, really quick, then you can kiss victory goodbye.

[loud flame sfx]

{panicked}

Woah!

*small pause*

They went up in flames! That’s… actually really tragic. Do you think that was part of their bit?

*listener retorts*

Yeah, I don’t think so either. Bright side, we’ll win by default!

*listener elbows speaker*

(grunt)

Too soon? Yeah, you’re right. Still, you have to do a trick. Just stand on one leg or something. Anything would work.

*pause*

[bell dings]

{excited}

Woo! By technical disqualification, we win! My friend is the best, and this proves it! Take that Vishy!

*listener speaks*

{loudly}

Oh yes, you are right, slave! We are not friends, that was a simple slip of my tongue. Now, we will go home, and you will serve me, because you are my slave, and serve my every command! So… Serve Me!

Okay, I think I’m kind of losing everyone, let’s bounce before they ask any questions.

*pause*

Looks like no one’s following. I think we made it out, scot-free! Thanks for that, by the way. I guess that means I owe you one.

*small pause*

The sun is going to set soon, back on Earth. I’ll send you back.

*listener speaks*

Yeah, okay, goodbye for a while, I guess.

*small pause*

Wait, I want to know before you go. That kiss, from earlier. Did that mean something?

*listener retorts*

“Do I want it to mean something?”

{flustered}

No, maybe… It’s not like it means anything to me! We’re just friends and I’ve had plenty of partners so it’s not like it would matter to me! I just-!

(kiss)

Thank you. I… Lo-. like you. A lot.
