Your name is SAMANTHA, but you prefer to be simply called SAM. Right now, you're actively checking out the mess that is your hair in the mirror.
You are a FIRST YEAR COLLEGE STUDENT, studying ECONOMICS. However, it is summer break right now, and you work in the local LIBRARY as a cleaning la- cleaning girl. yeah.
You have a tendency for getting rather NERVOUS AMONGST LARGE GROUPS OF PEOPLE and get easily exhausted in these kinds of situations. You solve your struggles with social life by simply NOT HAVING ONE, having a single friend on the other side of town. Most of your interpersonal activities consist either of talking with her, or lurking around on 4CHAN and pretending to be a MISERABLE, MIDDLE AGED NEET with a WIDE COLLECTION OF UNSETTLING FETISHES. You aren't middle aged or a NEET, and your fetishes or lack thereof are strictly your private business, you sure are MISERABLE.
Your friend says your COOKING SKILLS are supreme, which is not untrue in the least; actually, cooking is one of your few hobbies. You sometimes contemplate that you should quit the econ course and enroll a CHEF SCHOOL. But only sometimes.
When feeling a bit down or bored, you're not averse to ALCOHOL, either; and you're not picky. The substances you ingest range from cheap beer to fine-as-fuck liquors, depending on what you can get your hands on. You have just woken up after such a SPREE OF CONSUMPTION, and dear god your head aches like hell.
While you don't know this yet, you'll be possessed by a demon in about 40 minutes.

What do you do?

Go to a bar and get laid

>>52351
> Go to a bar and get laid
That is the exact opposite of a good idea. First off, your head hurts like a bitch, which is the #1 excuse women use to evade sex. Also, the idea that you'd just hop into bed with a random stranger kinda creeps you out. And to top it off, the only bar around is a tiny-ass little shack that only old soccer fans visit.

> Go search the cupboard for Aspirin
Your cupboard mostly holds food ingredients you either cook into your meals or eat out of the box, depending on how tired you are. However, you keep a lot of your essential stuff, including medicine, tucked into the crevices between the food cans and boxes. It takes a while until you manage to fish out the box of Aspirin from between the cocoa powder, a bag of pasta and the oregano. You quickly gulp down several pills with some water.
As you are about to close the cupboard, you notice a pendant that fell out onto the floor.

[Correction, it is a necklace, not a pendant]

>>52570
Pick up the necklace and inspect it.

Inspect the necklace for value. We could pawn it off for college/booze money.
We need more people in this quest...

Looks cheap. Probably one of those things you can buy on street corners for five bucks or less. The pointy parts sticking out appear to be teeth of some kind. The dice-like middle part is probably wood. The rest is mostly comprised of beads and such.

>>52701
Leave it on the table and search for munchies. You don't like voodoo stuff and the necklace is giving you bad vibes.

>>52723
> Search for food
You sure could eat something right now. You have no idea if you had dinner yesterday, you were too drunk to remember.
As your headache lessens, your mood gets a bit better. You decide to whip something up instead of just microwaving Hot Pockets.

Chinese food sounds just about right. You prepare a wok and the oil.
As you toss and stir the vegetables in the wok, you momentarily think about the necklace.
You have absolutely no idea where did you get it. You have a fuzzy recollection of a family member's birthday; you wanted to buy her a present and it seemed a good choice. You don't know how it remained in your possession, apparently you didn't give it to them...? Whatever.

Your breakfast is done. You set up the table and sit down to eat.
You don't recall making it this spicy. Like, eating this stuff feels like clawed hands pulling your brain inside out. You sarcastically think this is what demonic possession must feel like before losing consciousness.
Incidentally, you're 100% right.

Roll "6d12". Comment the sum of the rolls.
(This will determine the nature of the demon possessing you.)

Rolled 11, 6, 8, 8, 5, 10 = 48 (6d12)

> Be the demon
You're now the demon.
Hell has many echelons in its hierarchy. On the top there are the arch-devils, then the dukes, marqueses, presidents and arch-presidents, princes, grand demons, infernal commanders, legionaires, and then there is you.
You are a low-ranking LESSER DEMON. And by LOW-RANKING, you mean the errand boy of the legionaires. You are a demon of Great President Valax, commander of thirty Infernal Legions.
> What is your name?

>>53308
Tumultus

Your name is TUMULTUS. As you've mentioned previously, you're a LESSER DEMON OF VALAX. Your kind is reknowned for its power of TRUESIGHT, an ability you also possess, but due to your INEXPRESSABLY HORRIBLE MAGICAL POTENTIAL, can only rarely use.
You spend most of your time serving as the ERRAND BOY for a bunch of smug VALAXITE LEGIONAIRES. What little free time you have is spent with the creation of COAL DRAWINGS, and studying HUMAN CULTURE. Your goal is to succesfully pull off a POSSESSION, thus gaining a host body you can borrow at any time you wish, sort of like a HUMANOID SUMMER HOUSE. Because, honestly, you're SO DONE WITH THIS BULLSHIT. The bullshit that is Hell and your underdog status, more precisely.
You just screwed up another possession attempt. Your target had an INFERNAL ARTIFACT in their possession, which helped you gather your magicks, and yet you still failed. You are slowly coming to terms with the fact that a FRUIT FLY has more demonic potential than you.
You are currently in your LIVING CAULDRON, and not your HUMAN HOST, regrettably.
What do you do?

>>53532
Make some obscure references to human culture.

> Reference human culture
You are absolutely, completely PISSED OFF. You let out your anger in a lengthy tirade in the black tongue of OLD COCYTAN. It's hard to reference human culture in a language older than any human culture, but you manage to pull it off. "Pae'pe the Hell-Toad" is sort of a rough translation, but it works.

>>53702
Enough of that.
Is there a way to get that girl to focus your magicks?

I'm going to sleep friends. I'll be back in about 12 hours. Keep this thread afloat, suggestions and bumps are welcome.

I like the idea of this, will definitely follow when Narrator comes back :)

"Pae'pe the Hell-Toad" has to be my new favorite thing.

BADUMP BUMP!
Hey he said "bump"s were welcome.

>>53758
> Make girl focus your magicks
Sadly, that is not possible. It's the INFERNAL ARTIFACT that allowed you to concentrate your (almost nonexistent) magical prowess, not her. It seems like she's even worse with magic than you, a fact you feel slightly proud about, which is kind of PATHETIC when you think about it. Being proud about handling magic better than a human is sort of like bragging about beating a slug in a footrace.

>>56515
Is there a way to at least influence her to pick up the infernal artifact without possessing her?

You suppose you could whisper into her mind, but she's more than likely passed out. That's simply how possession works.
A glance through the veil of reality with your TRUESIGHT confirms this. Yup, knocked square out. Drat.

Only DEMONS OF PAIMON are able to actually puppet a human without possessing them. They aren't someone you want to cross roads with though.

That old thing? Geez.
You haven't used the Inept Demon's Guide in years. It's basically Demon Stuff For Dummies, except bound in human skin. It's extremely embarassing that you, a theoretically full-fledged demon, have to resort to using a baby's guide. Reluctantly, you dig up the INEPT DEMON'S GUIDE from one of your many STORAGE CHESTS. The heavy cover of the grimoire opens slowly, wearily, revealing the abyssal secrets within.
Alright, let's get this over with.

>>58392
Possession
Then corruption. Maybe we can make Sam want to be our vessel

>>58392
Possession obviously, though maybe it would be good to reread The Sekretes of Magick.

> Possession
You turn the page to Chapter 3, "The Sekretes of Magick", and look up the part about possession. The grimoire, being a beginner's guide, isn't very informative.
"Possession is the most ymportent of any mightie Daemone's Magickal powyrs, thrustyng them upon a Mortal easilie. It requireth a stabile flow of Magick, for if the flow dystuptes, the Possessor shall suffere from a back Fyre. The Mortal thou possess is advysabel to be Weak of Wyll, else they may banishe thee with an invocatio or sheare Force of Wyll. If the Daemonic Possessor suffyrs banishement, they shall suffyr a dearthe of Magick."
Well, that's stuff you already knew. Nothing new here.

> Corruption
Truth be told, you never tried corrupting anybody. You're not of the tricky type, and even if it would make it easier to possess someone, it sounds like it requires tons of guile. You're simply not guileful enough.
Nevertheless you dig into the sub-chapter about corruption.
"Corruption, the arte of Turnyng the Richteous to a lyfe of Sins, is some Thing all Daemones who harbore desyres of Powere must masther.
Corruptyng a Mortal requireth deepe and care-full Studie of their Temperamente, Personalytie and Interestes. The Daemone deviseth from this Knowledge the righte way to corrupt the Mortal. Then, as the Strathegie he possesses, he begins temptyng the Mortal, opheryng them Pleasures of decadente nature accordyng to their interestes. By showing them temptyng Visages, the Mortal's Force of Wyll shall slowly crumbel, and eventualie they giveth in to the 7 Deadlie Sins. A Daemone may corrupt to spreade his Influetse in the Mortal Woerld, to easen the Possession of the Mortal, to sowe Khaos, or any other reasone."
So far it sounds way too nuanced for you to ever master. This won't do.

>>59188
Try to corrupt the human.

>>59188
Alternatively, see what Sam is up to right now.

> Try to corrupt the human
You suppose you could do that, but that requires extensive knowledge of their interests, as stated by the grimoire. It takes time. If you're gonna do this, you're gonna have to start now.
So, as a way to start studying them, you decide to use your TRUESIGHT again, to see if they're up already.
> See what Sam is up to right now
You concentrate all your magical might into your TRUESIGHT. Your gaze burns through the dimensional barrier, and reveals that your human target is, indeed, awake! Furthermore, they're rummaging through their cupboard in search of something! Now you could make use of that INFERNAL ARTIFACT! You've already seen that only its proximity is not enough, but you know exactly what to do.

You quickly grab your CHALK and draw a HEPTAGRAM to help focus your magic. You're running low on magical energy, if you can't do it now you'll blow your chance to possess her forever! You slither to the center of the heptagram and begin to channel your HELLISH WHISPERING.
> You are now SAM.
You just came to your senses from an unexplainable LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. On one hand, you seem to be alright. On the other hand your head hurts again. Dammit.
As you rummage through your cupboard for the Aspirin box again, you suddenly remember the SHITTY NECKLACE lying on the table. You have no idea where the thought came from, but it's very persuasive.
