Practically Spellbound [Casually Insane + Summer]

Even as the human left the room, Mirajane let out a long, disappointed sigh. "Typical," she said aloud to no one. "Oh no, Mirajane, you have to stay here. Can't let anyone see you, now can we? No, that would mean I'd have to share you with somebody. No, you have to grant my wishes, not everyone else's. See the world? Live your life? Live any life? No no, Mirajane, you still have wishes to grant!" She conjured a small pillow and then punched it across the room. It disappeared on impact. With a "tch!", she sank down to sit atop her lamp, arms crossed and a scowl on her face.

When he finally returned, she floated down to the floor. Once the door was shut, her smoky tail again turned into solid legs, and she held out her hand expectantly. She might be a servant, but she was no one's dog.

"I would," she answered, giving a polite nod in deference to the offer. Genies did in fact eat and drink like anyone else. Usually, however, they simply conjured their food into existence. Convenient, but it killed the flavoring. "However," she warned him (she didn't want to, but it was one of her duties as a genie), "in order to eat, I must become tangible, meaning anyone will be able to see and hear me." She lifted an eyebrow slightly - she wanted to see how he'd respond to this one. "Shall I accompany you to your kitchen, where others might see me, or simply wait here alone, where none will?"

Mira raised an eyebrow and placed an impatient hand on her hip. "Well, master, what you wished for was to be, and I quote: 'the best player on your school’s lacrosse team'. And I made it so. The reason you don't see anything is because you have yet to try it out for yourself." She suddenly smirked. "Or is it that, when you made your wish, you expected me to make you some big, strong, overly-muscular man with perfect hair and a cleft chin?" She chuckled to herself, then shook her head. "You've gotten exactly what you wished for, master; no more and no less."

She thought for a moment. "If this is a 'school' team, then they play on a school day, correct?" Her understanding of human society was still sadly underdeveloped, but she thought she had at least that part correct. "Then let us make a deal. The next time you go to school, investigate. Play your game of lacrosse, and see if I have slighted you. If you feel that I have not fulfilled your wish to the letter, then I shall undo the magic and return you to three wishes. Sound fair?"

Sarah has some issues with her looks. =(

Sarah couldn't help it: she tried so hard, but she finally erupted into laughter. "Ahahahahahaha! I-I'm sorry, just... Ahahahaha!" The very idea that the Princess of Hell would suddenly just spill soda all over herself like that was just too funny to help it; she had to laugh. Finally, she started to calm down, though her grin was still ear to ear. "I told you not to shake it," she told her, still a little bit giggly. "It builds up pressure when you shake it like that, and then it explodes like it did." She shook her head and stood up. "Here, you can have the rest of mine. I'll go get you a towel." She was still giggling all the way to the closet.

When they finally got Nefas all toweled off (though she was still a bit sticky), Sarah sat back down in her chair. The laugh had helped with the uncertainty and fear she'd been feeling, so she felt brave enough to ask a question. "If I may, why are you in my room. Not that I object!" she added quickly, holding up her hands. The last thing she needed now was an angry demoness in her living room. "It's just... why mine? There's over 7 billion people on the planet, and I know a lot of them are smarter, richer, or..." She lowered her gaze a little. "...well, prettier than I am. So why'd you end up here?"

^-^ You know, even with her superiority complex, I feel like Nefas is gonna be a really fun roommate. I like the comical approach, too! Makes it more fun! :D

"Trains of...? H-Hey, don't read my mind!" she told her, clutching her head as though it would somehow shield her thoughts from this strange demoness. Under any other circumstances, she would have thought she was going crazy. Heck, who's to say she wasn't crazy? Even so, with what she'd seen so far, she had no reason to believe this woman couldn't read her thoughts. She sighed; all she'd wanted to do today was finish her homework and then read more of her novel, not play hostess and potentially next meal to some crazy demoness who'd just randomly decided to show up in her dorm, of all places.

"Ah, no! Don't shake it!" she cried, holding her hands up to stop her as Nefas started to shake the can. Despite herself, she couldn't help but grin a little bit: a demoness from Hell, and she didn't know how to open a can of soda. It was just... really silly, somehow. "Here," she said, still grinning, "watch what I do." She turned her own can so that Nefas could see the top. "Hold it like this, put your finger here, and then just pull." Sure enough, with a "tssssSSSK!", the can popped open, and Sarah took a quick sip of the fizzy drink. "Try it."

Sarah stood nervously for a moment, wondering if she should say anything else. Then, "Um... In that case, I'll just... go get some..." Her voice steadily lost volume as she spoke, until she finally stepped into the tiny kitchen, closing the door behind her.

Then she collapsed into panic.

There is a demon in my house. There is a demon in my house! THERE. IS. A. DEMON. IN. MY. HOUSE! She slapped herself, stopping the extreme panic at least enough to think through it. Fear was her weakness, but logic was her strength. "Calm down," she told herself. "Breathe deeply." She took deep, slow breaths, forcing herself to keep still and slow, even though the fear was still screaming through her veins. Eventually, her heart rate slowed to a more normal level, and she was able to get back to her feet again.

"Alright." She spoke to herself even as she set her little tea-maker to brew a new batch. "I need options." If this woman really was a demon - and she'd given no evidence to the contrary - then calling the police would be useless. Option A: Attempt to contact a priest. She didn't know much about exorcisms, but priests were supposed to be able to banish evil spirits, right? ...Then again, this woman technically wasn't possessing her, just... sitting on her couch and reading a book. Would that even work? Come to think, would she even be able to contact anyone without alerting Nefas? Alright, discard.

Option B: Try to run. She stopped what she was doing and made a (-_-) face at herself. She was not sporty; she could not run fast. Or very far. Discard.

Option C: Do what she wants and hope I don't get killed for it. ...Unfortunately, that seemed to be her best option at the moment. So, with a sigh, she reached into her mini-fridge and pulled out two small cans of Coca-Cola, then - making every effort to seem calm and collected - she stepped back into her living room.

Yep, she was still there, sitting on the couch and reading her book. "Um... The tea will be ready soon," she said, "but here's a soda for you." She handed her one of the cans, then sat down at her desk chair, turning it to face the demoness. The other Coke, obviously, was for her; right now, she needed one.

"The-" Sarah stood there, fright still etched on her face, before her legs simply gave out from under her and she collapsed to the floor. "ACK!" she cried, banging her head as she landed. The fall proved to be a blessing: for one, it didn't knock her unconscious. Additionally, the sudden jolt helped her brain start working again. She picked herself up off the ground, and began thinking carefully.

Okay, Sarah, she told herself. Approach this just like any other problem. Nefas claims to be the daughter of Satan. Evidence? Well, angry red eyes and a door suddenly slamming shut without any wind were pretty convincing. In favor of. Now what did she ask for? Coffee. She'd asked for coffee. "U-um..." She was having a little trouble finding her voice suddenly, but she managed to make it work eventually. "I-I don't actually drink coffee, so I don't have any around." She thought for a moment. "I... Well, actually, I have some tea and a few cans of soda, if you're willing to work with those."

Issue: she wants to kill me. Solution: make this woman happy. It was amazing how clear her mind became when her life was on the line.

Now she was getting concerned. "Take your soul"? This woman was either completely insane or-

The door slammed shut behind her, causing Sarah to scream and jump about a foot off the ground. That had always been one of her weaknesses: she was very easy to scare. She turned to face the strange woman again, only to realize that her eyes were now glowing red, cutting off anything Sarah might have been about to say. "W-Who... Just who are you?" she asked, now clearly very frightened.
