Is Steven's Plan working? Or does Inara interrupt after all?
Inara shows up
The cool, hushed air of the sanctuary was a balm. You smelled old wood, beeswax, and a faint trace of incense that spoke of centuries of ritual. The weight of your monstrous anatomy felt less present here, as if the very stones offered a temporary shield. You closed your eyes, letting the priest’s distant, steady voice wash over you, a monotone river of scripture.
A warmth pressed against your right side, accompanied by the scent of jasmine and clove. Your eyes snapped open. Inara sat beside you, her hip touching yours. Her usual revealing silks were gone, replaced by a demure, knee-length floral dress in pale yellow. It was dotted with small violets. She looked like a parishioner, almost wholesome.
Then you saw the detail. The soft cotton clung to the pronounced, unsupported curve of each breast, the outline of her nipples visible against the fabric in the diffuse light from the stained glass. “You look tense,” she whispered, her voice a low hum that vibrated in your ear. No one in the pews ahead turned. The elderly woman to your left kept her eyes piously on her missal.
“Get out,” you hissed under your breath, leaning away from her heat. “This is a church.”
“And I am a spirit,” she replied sweetly, adjusting the skirt of her dress. The movement drew your eye to the neckline, which gaped slightly. “We are both in our preferred houses of worship. Don’t be rude.” She nodded toward the altar. “He’s discussing temptation. You should listen.”
A low frustration boiled in your chest. You just wanted silence, a moment of unviolated peace. You gestured faintly with your hand, a shooing motion down by your thigh. “Just leave me alone. I wish you’d just—”
What does Steven Wish For?

Inara The Ifrit
An evil genie with a taste for tormenting her users
Everyone's pretty familiar with genies or jinn - you rub the lamp, you get three wishes. Ifrits are a little different. They both live in lamps and grant wishes but Ifrit specifically take delight in causing harm - either by twisting the owner's wishes around Monkey's Paw style or by forcing someone good and pure to make wishes that are purely sinful in nature. If someone summons an Ifrit, they're stuck with them until they've made 7 evil wishes, one for every deadly sin. They know everything that their owner knows, including all their secrets and hidden desires. What's worse, is that if some kind soul refuses to make a wish, the Ifrit can inflict penalties on the user once every evening until they do so - usually in the form of making a secret, sinful desire that person has kept hidden come true or just whatever the Ifrit thinks would be funny. Inara in particular is a Ifrit of lust, sex and vice - these are the things she enjoys the most and is very good at but she's not particular. While she won't deliberately kill someone - there's no fun in ending someone's suffering! - she'll do whatever her owner wishes for, so long as it hurts or corrupts someone. If some poor soul who is pure of heart summons her by accident, they're in for a dark, lusty ride, as she'll inflict her urge for sexual corruption on her owner until they're warped beyond recognition or give in and make those 7 wishes. And, unlike the number of evil wishes she can grant, the number of penalties she can inflict are unlimited until her "owner" is fully corrupted or finally gives in and makes the wishes. Of course, if their new owner is already sinful, they'll happily just alter reality to fit their evil whims. Which is why it is terribly troubling and unfortunate that Inara's lamp is found and activated by . . .
