Pretty handsome awkward (Lady and Nicholas)

by **Nicholas Cathin** Mon Oct 01, 2012 5:35 am

As he finished the ritual circles, including several ones to once again ensure that any demon in the room would be incapable of attacking him with the intent to kill, he sat back on his heels and looked proudly at his work. It took some serious skills to free-hand thirteen circles perfectly after all. Coughing a little bit, Nicholas rubbed his hands together before slapping them down onto the edge of the second circle,

"Azrael metatron zintos santo mageth..." he chanted, "Kurl El Li!"

He forced his magic into the ritual circles and the black lines immediately began to glow blue as his magic began to run through it. Gritting his teeth at the pain of the ritual almost trying to take every drop of his magic, he grunted slightly,

"Hear me demon..." he growled, "And answer my call!"

Lady Lilim Midday had been waiting outside the Cathin residence for what must be coming close to five minutes now, and she was getting more and more irate with each passing second, were they disabled or something? Or just mentally retarded and didn't hear her knocking on their own door?

With a sigh she dissappeared and reappeared on the other side of the door, hearing the start of a demonic ritual she sighed again and followed the source, she could feel the familiar tugging she had learnt so hard to ignore, she hated following summons, and the stupid circle entrapments that followed.

Opening the door she took in the scene and flipped open her PA, waiting for him to notice she was there, but also took a handy picture.

"Yoo-whoo." she muttered "Right here...right behind you, been knocking at your door for like five minutes now..."

by **Nicholas Cathin** Mon Oct 01, 2012 6:02 am

Nicholas turned when the door opened to reveal a woman he'd never seen before. He blinked a few times before groaning a little bit and slapping his hand to his face,

"Oh god damn it..." he muttered, "Can't I do one summon that doesn't turn out wrong?"

He frowned a little bit as he stood up. Almost immediately his right leg gave out and he fell to one knew. Losing a lot of magic all in way go was bound to make you a little dizzy. He groaned a little bit,

"Okay... Hi." he waved at the woman before smiling hopefully, "I don't suppose you're here to do my bidding are you? Cus I could really use some demonic bidding. Last time all I got was demonic sass mouth..."

by **Lady Lilim Midday** Mon Oct 01, 2012 6:07 am

Lady Midday tilted her head to one side when she saw the boy's knee give out what was a child doing summoning demons as dangerous as herself? He could get himself into big trouble, but then again, maybe he would be asking for it if he really knew what he was getting himself into involving himself in this world.

"If something has come to your in each summon, then it has gone right, it is the definition of a summoning after all." she smiled wickedly, letting her amber eyes glint in the darkness of the room that she and the boy found themselves in.

When he asked her if she was here to do his bidding she laughed coldly and shook her head, why on earth would she be here to do his bidding, oh no no no. Then a thought struck her, maybe he ACTUALLY didn't know who she was, oh how fun!

"Apologies, but I do not do peoples bidding." she smirked alittle bit "No demons really go into that sort of thing, unless its to a more powerful demon. So, Nicholas Cathin, what do you need a demon for?" she asked with a purr.

by **Nicholas Cathin** Mon Oct 01, 2012 6:12 am

Nicholas groaned a little bit. It was from a combination of a smart ass demoness (he assumed) and the pain. He pulled himself back up to his feet with another groan, shaking his head as he did so,

"So does that mean I summoned you?" he raised an eyebrow, "Or does that mean you were just passing through and decided it'd be fun to tease the kid? Be honest, I can take it."

He sighed a little bit. Great. Did no one ever want to do his bidding? Honestly it wasn't like he was going to make them do anything they wouldn't want to do. What demon didn't like to seduce, kill and otherwise bring down human beings?

"Great... another uncooperative one..." he moaned before pausing, "You know my name. I deliberately didn't use anything that could link this summoning to me so how... how do you know my name?"

Nicholas paused before sighing dejectedly,

"I'm out of my league again aren't I?"

by **Lady Lilim Midday** Mon Oct 01, 2012 6:17 am

Lady Midday seemed to be in the presence of a very enthusiastic child, and he seemed to know what he wanted, but in a few years, would it still be worth the price that he was going to end up paying today, she didn't care really, she just hoped that the boy knew what he was getting himself into, otherwise the deal might not count.

"I don't answer to Summons any more, they annoy me, I did however come here on purpose to speak with you, my card." she stated, flicking her fingers out, her card stuck inbetween the two of them "It would have been much easier if you had just picked up the phone."

Letting her slow, catlike smile grow on her lips, Lady Midday couldn't help but think that the boy was smarter than he looked, he was definately out of his depth dealing with her, and she was glad that he was slowly coming to realise that.

"I have friends in high places." she grinned "I don't know, it depends Nicholas how you want to play this meeting...I can be quite nice when people are nice to me."

by **Nicholas Cathin** Mon Oct 01, 2012 6:49 am

Nicholas blinked a little bit. Summons annoyed her so she just ignored them? Oh crap. You had to be a major demonic player to resist a summons on the level he'd pulled off. He'd intentionally chosen a very powerful and binding one after all,

"Okay so you didn't answer my summons but you're here anyway? Well that's convenient." he admitted as he took the card and read it before pocketing it, "To be fair I didn't know I was summoning you."

Nicholas was mentally going through his list of escape routes from this room. Unfortunately the list was short and none of the ideas there would help with this demoness,

"Or should that be low places?" he quiped absently. When he was distracted he quiped and used puns, "Considering you could kill me in a second? I'm going to be very nice to you dear lady."

by **Lady Lilim Midday** Mon Oct 01, 2012 6:55 am

Lady Midday sighed gently and she wondered how young people today managed to pass any exams at all when it came to independant knowledge, after all, if it wasn't in a film people didn't know about it, and she had never been documented in a film so of course he would have no idea who she was even though her card had her name on.

"Well you're lucky that you did with the strength of that summoning spell, surely Lucian told you that not all demons are as nice as himself and me when it comes down to it." she sighed, flipping her PA shut.

Her eyebrow raised, and lip pursed when he joked about her 'friends' she wasn't sure that they would appreciate the joke as much as she did, and she needed to make sure that the kid didn't put his foot in it more than he already had done.

"Anyway, ingoring your terrible jokes and puns, as my card says I am Lady Midday, and once again, what do you need a demon for?" she asked, her eyes glinting again.

by **Nicholas Cathin** Mon Oct 01, 2012 7:00 am

Nicholas was getting a little tired of being in the dark but then again what did he expect? He'd found a book for summoning demons. Great. Next time he read something in a book he'd get someone else to use it first so this kind of thing didn't happen,

"Hehe... yeah I might have overdid it with the power." he admitted before scratching the back of his head sheepishly, "He might have mentioned something to that effect..."

He shook his head. She was right, he had to drop the bad jokes and puns and that meant he had to be serious. Becoming serious was easy for Nicholas. He coughed once and his face became neutral,

"Of course Lady Midday." he agreed quietly before smirking slightly, "What other reason could there be for summoning incredibly powerful demons such as yourself? I have a dream... a dream of conquest my Lady. I think that you can help me to achieve this dream of mine. I would like to ask you... for your assistance. I am willing to pay the price."

by **Lady Lilim Midday** Mon Oct 01, 2012 7:06 am

Lady Midday smiled gently, he was like a child being chided, and it was rather sweet to her, and deep inside she knew that the reason she was here was because she needed to offer him a deal before someone else did and he got rapidly out of his depth, and couldn't help but agree to something he'd regret.

"Yes I think he might have done." she grinned "Don't you worry, I have nothing to gain from harming a potential dealer, it would just mean a loss to me in the end really."

When he became suddenly serious, she raised an eyebrow and she smirked to herself, so he was willing to pay the price was he? Oh if only he knew what the price was, tilting her head to one side, she took out a small, black notebook and quill without ink, a blood quill.

"The price of my aid, is Marylin Mason's soul, that's all I want, one little tiny soul, on your way to world domination, it's hardly something you're going to miss, you'll extinguish many in your time after all." she stated, coldly, and in her neutral expression.

by **Nicholas Cathin** Mon Oct 01, 2012 7:13 am

Nicholas chuckled a little bit. He even planned on seeing Lucian again as well, the guy was a gold mine when it came to giving Marylin whatever she wanted from him in terms of relationship things. This was going to be told to him, he just knew it,

"Sounds like something he'd say doesn't it?" he replied with a small smirk before grinning, "Thanks... that actually makes me feel less like the ant that's pissed off a shoe."

When she suggested that he give up Marylin's soul his eyes widened before narrowing in anger. His magic burst from his body in a violent display. It was impressive for an fourteen year old but obviously not enough to impress Lady Midday. Almost instantly his anger was gone, replaced by sadness,

"No... not that. Not her." he whispered quietly, looking up at Lady Midday unflinchingly, "I am willing to pay the price. Me. Not her. Anyone but her. I... I just can't... not if it's her..."

by **Lady Lilim Midday** Mon Oct 01, 2012 7:23 am

Lucian, she could tell, was going to be a good friend to this boy, if what he had said to her was any indication, hopefully he would be able to keep an eye on him when Midday herself was busy.

"Well I don't crush many people with my stillhetto heels, so don't worry." she smirked a little bit "Sit down for Gods sake you're making me feel lazy."

Lady Midday blinked when the magic burst from Nicholas, she felt her eyes narrow, obviously this woman meant a lot to him and she pinched the bridge of her nose, she really hoped that she would be able to convince the guy that this wasn't what he needed, it wasn't the way to go, not at all.

"Good job I don't really want her soul then. Or yours." she stated "But do you think other demons would be so agreeable, deal or no deal if they want something they will take it anyway, you're putting her and yourself in danger."

Running her hand through her hair Midday sighed; "Which is why I'm putting this deal to you now, before another demon gets to you and fucks your life over."

by **Nicholas Cathin** Mon Oct 01, 2012 7:29 am

Nicholas was dreading having to face Lucian again. They might have been getting along but he was afraid the guy might not like him after he'd deliberately ignored his advice,

"And here I thought they were the perfect shoes for stepping on a guy..." he joked before blushing slightly, "I would... but I don't think my legs are working properly..."

He sighed in relief when she told him that she didn't want either his soul or Marylin's. Despite his little display, he was running on fumes alone. His body was aching like hell and was beginning to seize up,

"Thank the gods..." he moaned in pain as he fell to the ground, sitting down, "No I guess not... I wanted to do this for her. The whole conquest... so that I can give her the world."

Blinking a little bit, he nodded slowly, "What deal are you proposing Lady Midday?"

by **Lady Lilim Midday** Mon Oct 01, 2012 7:39 am

Lady Midday sighed gently and when she saw Nicholas fall to the ground she blinked and felt the inexplicable urge to go over to him and pick him up, he just looked so gentle and fragile sitting there on the floor like that, like he needed someone to care for him and make sure that he recovered properly.

"Where are your parents Nicholas, surely they don't approve of you doing such rituals in the comfort of their home?" she asked, changing the coversation topic just a little bit, but sterring it in the way she wanted it to go at the same time.

Pinching the bridge of her nose again she wished she could have some coffee right now, she knew that she needed it.

"Have you ever asked her if thats what she really wants, does she know what you're going to do to give her that? She wont want to date a soul-less wandering body will she?" Lady Midday explained, gesturing at the circles on the floor.

Coughing she then continued "I need a new personal assistant, my last one was useless, you're smart, and don't mind working for a girl like myself, of course you would have to move into my home for the job so I wondered if you would consider that, for my AID and tuition to help you gain the goal of your choosing. "
