What is it?
"kthxbai!"
Grinning literally from ear to ear, you reach behind and pull out from your back, your contract and the thing you stole from his office. Kiv's official stamp. "Thanks for all your help Kiv!" You beam at him, before your wings snap outwards and forwards, flinging you, and the receptionist, backwards into a tear that you've just ripped back to your host's guest room. And as it winks shut, you see the shock on their faces give way to rage, as his friends and the other satyrs descend upon Kiv, blaming him for letting you get away.
Standing by the bed, you're caught between laughing maniacally at what you've done, and exhaling loudly and slowly for actually pulling it off, when you notice the other occupant in the room. The receptionist is shaking in her feet, staring blankly at where the portal used to be, murmuring to herself, your impromptu item crumbling away. "...free... I'm free..." she stammers, her voice wavering as tears begin to flow. Turning to face you, she starts to cry. "Thank you. I, I,... thank you... how can I ever repay you...?"
"Oh, you've made a good start," you reply, holding up your stolen goods and smiling warmly at her. "Once we've got this bit all sorted out, you and I are going to bring that Circles-cursed goat pit down around their hooves. How well do you know that place? As in the layout? Room locations?"
"Too well," she spits, venomous rage dripping from each syllable. "I've been hunted down and fucked against every surface in that place. Whenever I turn my head, I can see exactly who, where and how they used me. Used us."
Frowning just as deeply, you nod somberly. "Excellent. My forces will have need of floor plans when I send them in. What is your name?"
The receptionist opens her mouth, but closes it again, looking like shes full of despair. "I.., I... don't remember... it's been so long... They've only ever called me 'You' or 'Slut'." Choking and crying, she drops to her knees and hangs her head, completely defeated. "I don't remember my name anymore..."
Your black heart breaks to see another demon like this. Even a lesser demon. But you can still capitalize on this. Standing in front of her, you put your hand on her shoulder. Her head moves slowly towards you. "I am Selas of House Lusandar. Daughter of Lady Arilena of Lusandar. If you swear to enter into my service, I can give you a new name. A new purpose. Your revenge."
