"Awesome! Let's get back in the car then." Lilith was so glad. It was almost over!
Unfortunately it wouldn't be that simple. By that time the sharks had circled in and had gotten quite the appetite worked up. "Hey hey, it's kinda late, isn't it?" said one of the lowlives as his cohorts flanked in around him.
"Yeah, maybe you should check in at a hotel or somethin'. Heh. If you're nice I might even be able to get you a discount."

Melanie Du Coteau Sacred Gear:Vritra's Tail: Devil's spine.
Stealthy, strong, long reach and flexible. The black dragon's tail was one of it's many deadly assets. The tail itself is a wonderful yet terrible weapon. You see, the tail feeds on the host's spine until it completely devours it and takes it place. This not only grants the bearer full use and potential of this gear, but if the tail breaks... well you may get an Idea of that would happen to your body.
It it said that the tail holds a personality of it's own, vicious and vindictive, it requires constant dotting and spoiling to keep it at bay. Legend tells Vritra made people squirm and screech their lifes out of their lungs to ease it's tail and lead it to a tranquil slumber.
Still thinking she was inside the car, she payed no interest in the perverted thugs while she turned a little nervous to Lilitth. "Could we go now Laura's mom? I really don't like these people" She commented in brief honesty.
"Of course, honey." Lilith didn't blink. "Could you do me a favor, though? Hand me that?" It would appear there was a taser in the console to Melanie. It would also feel real in her hand, though it was just air. As soon as the Succubus had it she would proceed to tase the everyloving crap out of these would-be badguys. Really, she was tearing them apart with her vicious succubus claws.
"There, that should do... You don't know my name, do you?" In keeping with tradition Lilith chose her alias closest her own name. "Lily."
The trip back to Melanie's was short and sweet. They talked about Lilith's days in school, all made up, and how she was good at sports and could speedread and was a stenographer, and how she was too picky with boys and how her friends clamored for "silver trophies." It was all true history in its own way, though it was impossible to tell that unless Melanie was a psychology nerd on the side. No, her hair wasn't pink enough for that. "Well, here we are." Lilith "pulled up" to the place and parked. It was always such a unique sound when accompanied by night's symphonia inaudible. "Get some sleep, hun, you look beat!" She teased as she waved goodnight to the newborn--again--Succubus.

"Thank you Laura's Mo...I mean Lily... Sorry it's an habit." Said Melanie, leaning forward to kiss Lilith's cheek as a friendly farewell. However, something in her changed. Moving her lips at the las moment to kiss Lilith's. Apparently her bold succubus nature was returning. Even Melanie stepped back surprised and ashamed moments later. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to...uh... yeah I must be really beaten. G-g'night!" She quickly excused herself before darting of inside her home and directly to her room. Her heart racing like crazy as she could still feel her lips warm. The sudden memory of her embracing seductively Laura's body at the classroom invaded her mind next. But given her alterate perception she visualized them in Laura's room. "N-no ! we were studying!"
She told herself, fighting the Illusion. Then, Lilith's last orders whispered to her ear. "Take care of Setsuko..." But why? There it was the twisted memories. She remembered meeting with Setsuko... eventually finding their way to Laura's home to study. She embraced Laura seductively, but it was Setsuko's reaction to their little love play that made Melanie turn to Setsuko. She pinned her over the bed... and then... "please take care of me ..." Setsuko's fake words would echo in her head as Melanie flustered her entire face. "WHAT!? NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!! WE WERE JUST STUDYING!" The altered redhead was now rolling over her bed, not even noticing her tail, laid right beside her as it enjoyed her mental torment.
"And you'll have to stay away from most crosses and standing in a church will generally burn your feet until you're stronger as a devil," explained Janus as they approached the mall. "That normally takes a couple centuries, but don't worry 'cause devils typically live almost forever, especially if they don't forget to moisturize." Janus giggled. "Take mom for example. She's one of the longest surviving devils, and one of the first-wavers, and she's barely out of diapers in devil years. You've got plenty of time!"
The mall itself was lackluster. Sure, it was a mall, but they could have done so much more with the entrance, and the layout was weird, only having one route upstairs. Maybe that was meant to funnel them all into the lower shops like Thermoples during Christmas. Janus decided at that last word she didn't much like this string of thoughts. "Ok, so let's review, what do you know about being a devil?" Janus asked as she approached a Pac Luna. Hopefully she could find something decent there! These rags were all the way stupid on her petite frame.
The church and cross thing made sense, devils and angels were enemies in fiction. Although it wasn't really fiction now was it, at least not anymore. When she was asked what she knew about being a devil Setsuko hung her head and sighed. "I don't know a thing... Beside the christian stuff and the fact I've got wings I have no idea what is is I'm supposed to do. Lilith said I was a pawn, some sort of fighting thing, but that's all she told me." She shhok her head to try and clear up some of her memories from that night but it wasn't working. "There may have been more but I can't remember the details." Even though she was speaking more and stuttering less her new found confidence was betrayed by the fact she was clinging on to Janus for dear life.
"Agoraphobia." Setsuko's grip tightening a little. "I have agoraphobia, a fear of wide open spaces and crowds. I've been getting better but it still hits me sometimes. When I was younger I couldn't go anywhere without someone I knew without having a panic attack." Setsuko could remember the first time it hit her and what had cemented the fear. She was five years old and her parents had taken her out to the park to see a Hero Show. It was fun at first and then the crowds started to build, with all the pushing and shoving she had lost her parents. She had tried to find them but didn't have any luck. Trying to get home she ended up on a busy street under the feet of hundreds of people rushing to get places. It was two hours being kicked about before a police officer found her and called her parents. The fear that incident had brought shaped Setsuko into the timid recluse she was today.
"I see..." Figuratively of course. Janus was blind as a cave shrimp in any form but her androgynous state. It was a wonder Setsuko hadn't caught on, but then again Janus was pretty good at faking a stare. With her new hearing she could better map out the area around her. Not that "Jan's" olfaction was a terrible alternative, but smell-o-vision was just weird. Needless to say, though, the brain of this demoness was something... Different.
"Well, looks like we're going to have to break you of that," Janus said optimistically, "'cause our house works very closely with people, the more the better." She'd go on to explain that. "See, mom has this thing. Every day she has to sacrifice a hundred of her children, devils like you and I who she or someone in her house turns, to--uh--somebody, I'm not sure who, or she forfeits her soul. Game over, baby." She shot a finger-made gun at Setsuko's heart.
"Now, that's a worse-case scenario, of course. What normally happens on a 'bad day' is Lilith Inc. falls a couple under her 'buffer number' of about 200 over quota. That was for all--oh I'm sorry, you probably still need to learn how to be a devil... Huh." The GoD pulled a hand through her hair thinking of when she first made the switch. "I can hardly remember. Tell ya what; you just ask away and I'll answer your questions. Go ahead, fire awa--" She sighed.
"First, let's have a seat." Janus nodded to a couch out in the mall. Casting a quick illusion over the cashier, she was able to walk out with a new outfit. No one ever said virtue was a requirement in this line of work. "... You good?"
Setsuko sat down. "I...I'm fine." The information about her life hanging by a thread was a scary prospect. But there was nothing she could do about it now. "Erm... You and Lilith can make illusions and alter people's minds. What about me? Do I have any special powers now?"
( sorry for lack of picture. I will fix that when I am home on my pc. Thank you for understanding.)
Gonicarlo walked into the mall. He was surprised by the massive size, and the amount of people. Gonicarlo slowly walked down the path looking at the stores, he had never been to a mall before. Gonicarlo knew he was safe with humans around he wouldn't give off an aura of a devil just a simple human.
Gonicarlo looked around, he was trying to figure out what people did at the mall. He had been alone in his forest for far too long.
( sorry if I interrupted anything. sweatdrop I just wanted to get posting.)

"Oh, definitely!" cheered Janus. "You're a succubus now, a demoness of the highest caliber who feeds on the subconscious life energy of men to sustain and grow! ...So, like, you should be developing hypnosis pretty soon." The thought swept her away for a moment.
"I'm not sure if you can learn to use illusions like Lilith and Lamia, at least not for a while, on account of their older and, well, Lilith's the Succubus. I've heard Lamia was the first one Lilith turned--well, the first one she kept out of the quota... Ah!" Janus realized how that sounded and start waving her hands crazy-like to dispel the paranoia in the air. "But all of Lilith's inner circle are outside that now! So don't worry about that." With a big PHEW the crisis was averted... Hopefully.
"Anyway, yeah, you're a lot stronger than most humans now, and you're just starting!" She continued with excitement. New demons were like watching an egg hatch. "When you figure out your wings you'll be able to fly, and... Well, have you noticed how bright it is in here? You'll be able to see better at night than day, and infinitely better than me." She said with a laugh. Then her attention went to some other.
"Look at that... Poor guy's lost." She said nodding in his direction. "Ok, this is what I'm talking about. If you're looking for a victim, this is your perfect prey." She gave a small, semi-nervous wave to the poor guy.
Some things still didn't make much sense to Setsuko. True she could perfectly copy kanji to make some bizzare power, but what else was there to her? Right now she was a regular succubus and not a very good one. When Janus mentioned the guy Setsuko looked at her worried. "Bu... But I can't..." When Janus waved at him she hid behind her, carefully looking over her shoulder.
Gonicarlo noticed a female waving at him, he looked at her and her friend. Gonicarlo slowly walked up to them, His moves soft and weak yet the way he held his body was like a mountain of power. He stopped looking at the two as he spoke is a soft voice. " uh... Hello... umm could you two tell me what this place is? I am from the country and have never been to the cities before. " Gonicarlo had gentle soft eyes as he spoke almost like nervous child.
"Yes you can~" Janus nudged Setsuko with her elbow as the boy came over.
Strange one, he had a look: "I'm afraid of myself!" ... Or something. This went under the category of Cliffhanger. As in Stallone, but also more obviously as the more direct analogy in that the boy and people like him needed a hand otherwise he would fall to a pit of creepiness. Depending on the scenario it could be called the "nice guy fall." Starved, the boy would be responsive to anything they'd throw at him--in theory--and all they needed to do was make him feel good. Baddabing.
"Hi~ ... Um, this is a mall... Are you alright?" And Janus was a prime example how NOT to start. Hopefully Setsuko could pick up the slack, but to be honest that was a bit surprising to hear, see, a modern Tarzan parallel to the food court.
