Everything about Lilith makes you uncomfortable. The way her single red eye glares at you, how she clenches her cigarette between her teeth, the pistol hanging conspicuously from her hip… For a governmental agent, she doesn’t make you feel very safe.She’s standing in the house’s kitchen, smoking out an open window as you blearily make your way down the stairs. You had a fairly rough night, what with your dreams being permeated by the sensations and tastes of your encounter with Natasha. Part of you was hoping to see her again that morning, but by the time you had woken up, the Succubus was nowhere to be seen.”Kid, you look like shit,” comments Lilith from the window, flicking her cigarette outside.You mumble a word of greeting as you rub your eyes. Glancing around the empty room, you ask where your charge is.”What, you mean you don’t know? All the demons staying here have been enrolled in classes at the local college, to help them get acclimated to life on Earth. Nat’s doing a chemistry course, I think.”You dimly remember her mentioning something about being an alchemist.”Supposedly she makes the best aphrodisiacs money can buy. But I’m not here to natter. Dallas dropped your stuff over,” says the EHI agent, pointing to a collection of boxes piled by the front door.Your entire life, crammed into a few packing crates. It’s almost sad when you think about it.”Get yourself unpacked, and then get to work. Your next charge will be arriving this evening.”What does she mean by “get to work?”Lilith audibly sighs when you ask this.”Fuck’s sake… You’re the manager, kid; fucking manage the place. Fix anything that needs fixing, clean what needs cleaning and make sure there’s enough food for everybody. Got it?”You have to buy the food yourself? With what money?”Check your phone. The EHI should have granted you access to a bank account for living expenses. Also, your payment will be wired directly to your own personal account. As long as you do a good job, of course.”That sounds… threatening.”Well, duh. Do a shitty enough job and I’ll fire you, no questions asked. So don’t fuck this up, kid. Really don’t wanna have to do the paperwork all over again.”With that cheery thought, the one-eyed agent gives you a half-hearted wave and makes for the door.”Seeya this evening,” Lilith calls, right before she slams the door shut.Alone in your new home, you walk into the dining room and seat yourself at the head of the table, silently pondering your situation. You have no idea how you managed to land this job, but you aren’t about to look this particular gift horse in the mouth, especially when it has a gritty attitude and a gun. So instead, you make yourself a rudimentary breakfast out of what little food is in the kitchen before you begin carrying your things up to your room. It doesn’t take long to unpack and arrange things to your liking. In a strange way, it feels nice living in a proper house like this; it is miles away from the dingy apartments you were used to renting.Frowning, you see something on your nightstand that you didn’t notice that morning. It is a pair of lacy black underwear, alongside a folded piece of paper. Going red at the sight of it, you gingerly pick the undergarments up with one hand as you unfold the paper with the other.”You can use these if you get lonely, honey. I’ll be home by five – Nat,” reads the neatly-written note within.Succubi really are demons of Lust, aren’t they?Leaving Natasha’s underwear right where she left them, you instead head to the bathroom in order to clean yourself up. It’s a fairly spacious room, boasting both a bathtub and a shower, as well as twin vanity sinks. Natasha has already claimed one of them, if the bottles of strange creams and lotions are anything to go by. After a quick shower and a brush of your teeth, you dress yourself to face your first day on the job as a boarding house manager.A quick inspection of the house itself reveals that nothing is out of order, though it does give you an opportunity to learn your way around. A utility room out the back hosts the washer and dryer, as well as a cabinet filled with any and all tools needed for maintenance. There is also a staircase leading down into the basement, where the boiler is Ankara bayan escort situated, as well as a small coal bunker for the living room fireplace.On your second loop of the house, you clean whatever you can, though there’s admittedly not much that needs to be done. Having only had one person living in it up until recently, the place is spotless, save for Natasha’s own bedroom, which you decide to leave alone. Organising her things in the bathroom doesn’t take long either, and before you know it, you run out of things to do.With a sigh, you seat yourself on a comfortable sofa and start swiping through your phone, right before you remember what Lilith told you that morning. You check your banking app, and sure enough, you’ve been granted access to another account, labeled “EHI Household Funds.” With a glance at the barren kitchen cupboards, you rise to your feet and grab your coat. Perhaps if you got a bus into town, you could grab some food and welcome Natasha home with a homecooked meal? Granted, you’re not exactly a gourmet chef, but if you buy some recipe books along the way, perhaps you just might be able to make something edible.Invigorated by this idea, you gather your things and head out the door. — The guy at the checkout said you couldn’t do it. The girl helping with packing your shopping bags said you couldn’t do it. The bus driver said you couldn’t do it. But your masculine pride said you could.Unfortunately, as you stagger your way from the bus stop back to the house, you begin to admit to yourself that maybe you can’t carry eight shopping bags all at once. You’re reminded of your childhood, helping your parents unload the car after the weekly shop, and how you insisted you could carry everything back in one trip, regardless of how painful it was.By the time you get to the front door, you feel as though you have lost all circulation to your fingers. Struggling to catch your breath, you nearly collapse on the porch at the sight of Lilith’s sports car in the driveway.Shit, the new arrival is here, and you’re drenched in sweat, gasping for breath and one light breeze away from toppling right over.Hell of a first impression to make.Swallowing hard, you push the door open and hoarsely announce your presence.”In the kitchen, kid,” calls the surly voice of your handling agent over the sound of something bubbling.Wait, she’s already cooking? After you busted your ass hauling all these groceries up two fucking hills and through a goddamn bus station?!”Jeez, tone it down and hurry up already! Come meet your new charge!”Muttering under your breath, you slope into the kitchen and are met with a sight you certainly weren’t expecting.Lilith is leaning against the island, idly loading and unloading her pistol in a rather disconcerting manner, but surprisingly that wasn’t what drew your gaze. No, you find yourself staring at the individual standing in front of the oven, humming pleasantly to herself as she stirs something in a saucepan. She seems to be wearing a peculiar dress covered in seashells that clacks and rattles as she moves. Noticing you, the EHI agent gives you a nod.”Kid, meet Mucsibi. She’s a Glutton. Play nice.””Oh Lily, I told you to call me Muu!” chuckles the newcomer, lowering the heat.”Don’t call me Lily. Anyway, he’s here.””Ah!”She whips around to face you, bearing a brilliant smile.She’s green. Literally. Mucsibi – or Muu, you figure you should call her – has rather lovely apple green skin. Not only that, but she has little rounded horns poking through the almond-coloured fringe that framed an endearingly round face. She’s a chubby little thing, and as you continue to stare, you notice a stumpy little tail wagging behind her, like an excited puppy. Or dinosaur. It looks kind of like a dinosaur’s tail. But short and not scaly.”Hiya!” she says.Her sudden outburst startles you into dropping your bags.”Lily told me all about you! I hope you don’t mind, but I brought some gifts from Vorshaw, my hometown!” she continues excitedly, opening the cupboards to reveal that they are stuffed with all kinds of food.”Please stop calling me Lily,” Lilith grumbles, tapping her gun’s magazine against its frame.You gesture to the shopping bags before pointing Escort bayan Ankara at the stuffed cupboards.”Oh, um… I’m sure we can squeeze all that in somewhere! Here, come try this!”She grabs your hand and pulls you over to the stovetop. Her own hands are soft and pudgy. Picking up a ladle, she dips it into the sauce she’s making and holds it in front of you face. Noticing your bewildered expression, she blows on it before gently pressing it against your lip.It’s like nothing you’ve ever tasted before; rich, spicy and flavourful in equal measure. Eyes wide, you relay your amazement to Muu, who laughs and thanks you. Over by the island, Lilith slips her sidearm back into its holster and gives you a wave.”Right then kid, I’m off. You take care of her, alright?” she sighs, jamming her hands into her pockets as she heads for the door.”Aren’t you going to stay for food?” Muu calls after her.”Nah, don’t worry about it. I’ve got to meet my dad for dinner in an hour. Probably gonna have to help oil his leg.””S- Sorry?””Seeya whenever!”You hear the door shut, followed by the roar of an engine and the squeal of tires. Alone with Muu, you swallow hard and try to compose yourself. Thankfully, she just returns her attention to cooking, smiling all the while.”I’ve always wanted to visit Earth! I like to think of myself as a gourmand, but when I think of all the untasted delicacies cooked up by the human race…! Oh, I’m salivating just thinking about it!” she titters excitedly, her tail going a hundred miles an hour behind her.You can’t help but smile at this. Relaxing a little, you decide to ask her about herself. Or more specifically, what she is.”I’m a Glutton, sir!”Sir?”We’re demons of Gluttony! Obviously, heh!”Wait, why did she call you sir-?”I’m not trying to generalise, but we’re all about food, you know? Where I come from – Vorshaw – we reap the bounty of the ocean and transform them into amazing dishes! Before the EHI came knocking, I worked with my papa curing meats and stuff! He said he’d hand the business over on my twenty-fifth birthday, but as much as I love working with him, I re~ally want to get out there and experience the international cuisine of both Hell and Earth!”Okay, she’s on a tangent. Setting the “sir” thing aside, you allow her to prattle on as you begin trying to pack your groceries away into the overstuffed cupboards.”I’ve always wanted to use an oven like this, you know!”Didn’t she have them back home?”No, Vorshaw is a pontoon town, so we can’t really get electricity out there, but we’ve made do without it for centuries. We have to cook our fish in special iron stoves, which we also use to dry our seaweed!”An oceanic town with fish and seaweed, huh? Has she tried sushi?”Huh? What’s that?”You chuckle and tell Muu that she’s in for a surprise later on down the line. Making a mental note to get takeout from that Japanese place downtown later on in the week, you jam the last of the groceries into the fridge and return to the bubbly little Glutton’s side. You ask her if there’s anything you can do to help. After all, you’re her host; it wouldn’t do to leave her to do all the work.She brightens up at this suggestion. Just looking at her smiling face makes your heart melt.”Of course!” — Over the course of the next while, you help Muu out in the kitchen as much as you can, asking her questions about herself as you do. She’s all too happy to answer, telling you all about life on the Hellish ocean, as well as what it was like when she ventured ashore to visit more modern towns for supplies. Everything she says is utterly fascinating, and though you’ve only known her for an hour or so, by the time five o’clock hits, you feel as though you’ve known Muu most of your life.As she’s adding the final touches to dinner – some kind of roasted meat you’re unfamiliar with drenched in that beautiful sauce – you hear the front door open.”Honey, I’m home!” chimes the voice of Natasha, setting your heart aflutter.You realise that you haven’t actually spoken to her since your “encounter”.The Succubus steps into the kitchen, holding a shopping bag of her own. She’s wearing a trendy skirt, blouse and jacket that you don’t recognise; she must have gone clothes shopping after Bayan escort Ankara her classes.Upon noticing the Glutton in your midst, her face lights up.”Oho, and who’s this?” she asks, wings fluttering excitedly.”I’m Mucsibi! Call me Muu!” responds your new charge, warmly shaking Natasha’s hand.Deep in the Succubus’ eyes, you can see her own heart melting. It seems Muu has that effect on people.”Aw, aren’t you adorable! I’m Natasha, and this big lunk over here is-“”Don’t worry, we’ve already met! You’ve been helping me prepare dinner, haven’t you, sir?”You smile and nod your head.”Here, go set the table! It’s almost done!” Muu cries excitedly, directing you to the cutlery drawers.You do as you’re told, grabbing a set of knives and forks for the three of you. Heading out to the dining room, you begin setting the table, only to be startled by a low whistle from Natasha.”Seems you’ve bagged quite the cutie, honey,” she teases, placing a trio of wine glasses on the table.Producing a bottle of merlot, she pours out a hearty measure for each of you.”I must say, when I saw you two cooking together, I almost mistook you for newlyweds.”Your face goes bright red as the Succubus sits down. She is smiling, though it is a touch more lurid than you would like. Shaking your head, you simply reason that Muu seems very easy to get along with. Besides, cooking with her is fun; she often needs you to get things off high shelves for her.Upon hearing this, Natasha stifles a snicker. You frown and ask her what’s so funny.”Oh, don’t you know? Gluttons are capable of magnimorphisis.”Magni-what?”Magnimorphisis.”Yeah, that doesn’t really clear anything up.”It means they can change their size at will. You know, get bigger or smaller?”Your eyes widen. So why did she have you get all the high-up things for her?”… Honey, don’t get me wrong, I adore you. But you’re really dense sometimes, you know that?”You are?”Case in point. Anyway, here it comes…!”Right on cue, Muu steps into the dining room, carrying three plates in her arms. You can already smell it from where you’re sitting, and it smells absolutely gorgeous. As she sets your dinner down in front of you, your stomach growls loudly, earning a polite laugh from the Glutton.”I’d ask if you’re hungry, but it seems you already are!” she giggles, seating herself at the head of the table.Across from you, Natasha takes a bite of her meat.”Oh, I haven’t had roast brimison in years! Muu, this is amazing!” she exclaims, dabbing at her lips with a napkin.Roast what now?”Brimison! It’s the meat of a brimcerv! It’s a kind of deer, but with two heads and an acidic tongue!” Muu informs you.That sounds kinda freaky.”Is it? They’re pretty common in Hell,” Natasha says, digging into her meal.Though you’re a little put-off by the idea of a multi-headed demon deer, you steel yourself and take a bite of a slice of brimison.The taste is simply phenomenal. Coupled with the sauce, the meat is beautifully spicy, but not overpowering in the slightest. It’s juicy and tender, and before you realise it, you’re greedily tearing into your dinner. Muu takes this as a compliment, and with a little toast with her wine glass, the three of you get to eating.Dinner mostly passes in pleasant silence, broken only by the scraping of cutlery or the clinking of glasses. Occasionally, Natasha asks her fellow demon about how she found the crossing to Earth, but once they start talking about things like “cloaking charm synchronicity issues” and “cross-planar nausea” you stop listening. Taking a swig of your wine, you leave the girls to get to know each other and instead focus on indulging your appetite. Normally, you wouldn’t be so big of an eater, but with Muu’s superb cooking in front of you, you can’t help but clean your plate. You briefly wonder if it’s rude to finish so quick, but looking up you see that the girls are done as well.The Glutton newcomer gives a little burp and drains the last of her wine.”Ah… I needed that after such a long day,” she sighs, dipping her finger into the last of the sauce and licking it.Natasha smiles and nods as she places her knife and fork down.”My compliments to the chef, I must say. I haven’t had a home-cooked meal that good since Jezzy gave me her casserole recipe!”Who was that?Ignoring your question, Natasha checks her watch and sighs.”Oh, I’m so sorry to leave so quick, but I’ve got a mountain of assignment work to do. Honey, could you please wash up for me?” she asks, giving you puppy eyes.
