Annohter fucking wannabe pupet-master.

Sly was somewhere... else. The place is brilliantly lit and in front of you is another woman, at least you think. They have green hair in pigtails and a nimble effeminate flat-chested build. Their pink eyes watch you with mild concern and they are wearing only a pair of shorts and a flowy barely concealing shirt. A pair of glorious white wings extend from their back.

“Awawawa! I didn't manage to stop them! But you shouldn't have listened to the creepy voices in the dark in the first place! You have a monster core now, I can't return you to earth like this! I can still make this right, I'm sure I can convince you to be a good person! By convince I mean bribe, I know you darkies are a bit deaf to reason.

Don't scoff at me, I'm Ariel, the lion of heaven, Lord of Air! What did you say?! Fuck You! I'm a Man! I like Girls!"

Sly kept making the Spock face at the little angelic fem-boy...

"Okay look... I can switch your core and family to something better for free! Once you get your hands on the beauty of Light, you won't want to help those two perverts anymore! Not that you should have anyway!” Proclaimed Ariel with a frankly adorable pout.

"Look, kiddo. I didn't agree to shit with those two. I don't like being told what to do, It's a thing. Now, you want me on your side? Think you can fucking bribe me!? No fucking way." Sly was beyond fed up at this point. Back on Earth he had lived by a simple principle, 'No Gods, No Masters'.

Here he was, demons and angels and fucking monsters, oh my. Oh the little angel looks hurt... now comes the shitty feeling.

"I'm *Sniffle* not a kid! I'm a divine being! No lowly creature of the Dark should dare speak to me like that! No matter how good he smells..." Ariel trailed off.

"Fine, free you said? Ill take a look." Sly said, feeling a bit abashed but still irritated by the angel's pompous attitude.

Sly picked out an Inspiring core to replace the brutish thing the demons loaded him with, loving the extra info his HUD was showing him. Then a Faerie race noting the boost to magic stats. Now he was even taller though more wiry and slender, with an inhumanly chiseled form and small antlers sprouting from his forehead just below a wild mane of coal black hair. Giving up on the Knight class was a bit painful and left him feeling weaker but he tagged that quest and moved on certain he could acquire it again.

Feeling much better about his looks and quite happy with his new body, Sly turns to Ariel with a 'what do you think?' pose. Noticing when the angel looks redder than a fire hydrant that he is, in fact quite naked. Shrugging Sly asked. "Are we good?"

Snapping his gaze up to Simon's eyes Ariel stuttered out something about oaths and waved a hand at Simon, the requisite info appearing on his HUD with the quest 'Pact with divinity'. Sly carefully went over the oaths and their benefits, noting that they would grant further powers and that the oaths were prescriptive as opposed to descriptive he tapped into his fae self and drew out three contracts on vellum scrolls, made his mark then handed them to Ariel. The angel was taken aback a moment. Not trusting the dark fae contracts he read them carefully. Seeing that they were indeed just as he offered, Ariel's mood shifted from caution to indignation that his word was insufficient. Grumbling he placed a finger to the vellum three times, sealing the compact.

"Well, that was easier than I had thought it would be." Ariel remarked.

Sly just put on a half smile. "I'm not as much of an asshole as I could be. Besides, I've already thought up about half a dozen ways around em." He said, leaving Ariel with a growing pit in his stomach...
