Evan woke up to the gentle tapping and clicking sounds of someone working away at a computer. A realization made it through the pleasant half-slumber: That meant someone was inside his room using his computer!
Turning around n his bed in a fit of panic, he saw a skimpy dressed darkskinned woman sitting in front of his PC. No not sitting, floating. And the memories of the previous evening flooded back, and he fell back into bed with a groan.
“Morning Master.” Inara greeted him.
“Good morning.”
So it hadn’t been a dream. He’d actually found a cursed lamp and freed an ifrit. And then…. his mind flashed back to hot lips around his cock. To a chubby blonde, kneeling above him, her naked flesh illuminated by the streetlamps outside.
He’d actually let the man blow him! Evan screwed his eyes shut as it hit him. God was he really that weak!? He onviously was, because he coud feel his dick twitch at the mere thought! Parademons naked! That – after some repetition and speculation about the demons nethers - proved to be a sufficiently unsexy thought, to prevent a repeat-performance of last night.
On to the next problem.
“Err why are you on my computer?”
“To look up a few things. ” Inara replied as if it was the most natural thing in the world “It is a lot more convenient than scrying magic in a lot of ways.
Remember when I said your memories helped answer a few things I had always wondered about? Well back in my early days, my lamp made it to the Nile and there was this one champion whose magic would bypass even the most sophisticated counterspells. Which annoyed my master to no end. Weeeeellll turns out that was because the guy wasn’t using magic at all. Apparently there is a empire of stars called the Reach and they send some weapon system to earth that can fire destructive beams of light, make a man fly and do all other kinds of fun stuff only magic was able to do back then. And apparently some other star-empire might have had a hand in the hawk-imagery going on in parts of Ancient Egypt. ”
“Yes, that’s uhhh very interesting. “ ” But could you ask permission before using my computer?”
“Of course.” Inara promised “But it is not like I don’t already know what is in all the encrypted folders – and the passwords to unlock them. I know everything you knew when you touched the lamp after all.” She reminded him “And I am more than happy to make some of that stuff reality as you have seen.”
“I really w--” Evan cut himself of before he could say ‘wish you hadn’t.’
“That ” he began anew “ wasn’t --- What is going to happen to that man anyway?”
“I imagine she will face a lot of frustrating bureaucracy in the foreseeable future. Maybe she’ll take a bit of comfort in having regained about a decade of life in the transformation. Marriage is probably shot though. But a juicy thing like her will have no trouble finding someone else to warm her bed.”
Evan buried his face in his hands with a groan. Right, the cabbie had been married! Then another thought occurred to him. Yesterday he had been to tired to think about what would happen afterwards. When Ron went to the police and told them what had happened.
“I am a witness.” He looked up at Inara, wondering if that had been her plan. Force him to make a wish to avoid legal trouble.
“Technically yes.” Inara agreed “But this was an all-inclusive blessing. Unless the girl would be willing to jump your bones even before you touched them, they will be too ashamed to even mention you. That driver didn’t seem to be the type to go for one night-stands with dudes, so she is probably lying her ass off to avoid having to face you again. And when they examine her they will find that she came into contact with an unknown plant based compound that will – among other things- mess with short term memory for a while after reaching the blood stream. So nobody will wonder about a few small holes in her story. And even if she wanted to give an accurate description of you, it will be rather vague. ”
Evan felt himself breathe a bit more easily, at the mountain of trouble he had just avoided thanks to Inaras foresight. A plantbased compound would mean they’d be looking at Poison Ivy. Especially since she didn’t seem to hold men in high regard. Evan couldn’t remember her ever making a big thing out of it, but it wouldn’t be totally out of character making that stuff.
The ifrit really was amazingly thorough, when she cooked something up. But still…..
“So I have a roofie touch?” Evan wasn’t sure how to feel about that latest revelation.
“Nope. Not any more.” Inara said with a light pout.
“What do you mean?”
Inara’s pout increased “Don’t you remember? Last night you rejected my little gift and wished ‘someone else would have to deal with this DTF-sting’. You were mumbling a bit but that was clearly a wish. And after I put so much effort into it too. ” she wagged her finger at Evan “Not nice.”
“I did!? I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to… I was just so exhausted and… I must have slipped out! I would never….”
“Well,” Inara put a thoughtful finger to her chin “ Normally such callous disregard for my hard work would have made me really mad. But if you truly don’t remember….”
“I do!”
“Then I’ll forgive you this time.”
The last part of inaras statement was disrupted by Evans roommate poking his head inside “Everything ok?”
“Errr, yes. Thanks.” Evan assured him, caught between the relief that he hadn’t invited Inaras wrath and the embarrassed realization that in his haste to placate her he had been using his indoor voice “Sorry about that.”
Liam looked around the room “Are you sure? ” he asked, a bit puzzled “Who were you talking to?”
“Nobody. I …. I got into some argument on the internet last night, ” Evan lied “ and it just hit me that I posted some really stupid stuff for everyone to see. You know. Because they made total sense while arguing politics at three in the morning. And then I woke up and … “ Even gave an embarrassed little shrug ” the memory of just how much I fucked up came back. ”
“Heh, I know the feeling.” Liam looked to where Evans PC was still running “Only one thing to do. Apologize for your inner troll slipping the leash and get some coffee. Then wait for new forum-drama to distract everyone.” He advised with a chuckle.
“Yeah, I probably should.” Evan said somewhat distractedly. Because knowing only he was able to see Inara was one thing. But having his friend basically stare directly at the scantily clad woman sitting at the computer and not react in the slightest was really disconcerting. Especially when said woman was blatantly licking her lips as she stared at Liams shirtless abs.
“It’ll blow over. You’ll see. ” Liam reiterated gently “Probably by the end of the week. I hit Dunkin D last night on the way back home, and there is still half a box left. Take a few if you want. Maybe some sugar glazed – if a bit stale – goodness will lift your weary spirit. ”
“Oh. Thanks.” Evan gave his roommate a smile, if just to ease his worries.
“Don’t mention it. I bought way more than I should have. But that’s the price for buying dinner when starving.” Liam laughed and closed the door behind him.
“Your friend sure looks nice .” Inara commented “Not that you are bad looking. But no wonder your confidence to bring a girl back, took a hit lately when he’s around.”
“Story of my live.” Evan grumbled, not appreciating the reminder that he hadn’t gotten beyond first base since high-school. And it was true, Evan was in reasonable shape, but Liam had actual abs thanks being really into HMA – regularly competing in sword-fighting bouts on Ren-Fairs all across the state.
Yes Liam was as much of a -if not a bigger - dork as Evan was, but at the end of a day Evan was ust a normal guy while Liam had this knightly air around him. And even if Liam didn’t seem to notice, the ladies sure did because far too often Evan would be the one with the guts to walk up to a girl and talk to her but then it would be the bashful and tall Liam she flirted with.
And as thankful as Evan was for Liam helping him get his job at the museum and as much as he enjoyed their talks and their game nights, sometimes Evan couldn’t help but wonder if rooming with his friend had been a mistake.
Of course right now girls flirting with him would be the last thing Evan wanted. Unless he wanted a repeat o last night. “Wait.” Evan snapped out of his thoughts “You said I don’t need to cum inside a girl anymore!? Right!?” he asked Inara. Maybe he wouldn’t have to avoid girls after all.
Evans blossoming hope was dashed quickly however, as Inara shook her head “Nope, you still do. You just wished you wouldn’t have to deal with turning people into girls with an accidental touch. So I took care of that. ”
“So, what does that mean exactly?” Evan asked, if he wouldn’t do it on accident but only if he wanted to Evan might not live in fear of crowds for the rest of his life.
“Simple.” Inara answered with a wink “I’ll make someone else deal with having a DTF-sting. And after witnessing that little scene right now, I know just who that will be.”
