Time to make plans

Okay, okay, I made a deal with the most obvious demon ever... what is WRONG with me?! It's all her fault, I know it. Every time she's around I feel... overwhelmed I guess you'd say. The terrible thing though is she's overwhelming me with my own desires.

Damn it all if it isn't true. I've been long looking to get the better of all three of them. Wouldn't you? They're constantly being a nuisance and trying to steal Ranma away from me... not that I like him or anything, but he's my fiance after all. Right... yeah... okay, fine, maybe I sorta like him too, but that's beside the point! It is the principle of the thing! I guess with all the... intimacy involved in this situation, it was perhaps inevitable my desire to get it over them would get mixed with it. Not like they don't flaunt their goods whenever they get the chance!

So, here I am doing a little dual thinking. On the one side I'm trying to figure my way out of this situation, and the other plotting. I have to admit, the plotting is winning out. It's all her fault though. She's hovering over my virtual shoulder practically all the time now, and I just can't resist when she's around.

I learned her name was simply Lust... how very on the nose. No one else can see her but me, apparently, so naturally just screaming out there is a lust demon haunting me is most likely to get me locked up in some asylum than get help. So, for the time being, I'm on my own. As for what she can do, apparently that varies.

As a demon of lust, she can amplify those feelings fairly easily, but only so much at once, at least at the start. Basically, you had to take it slow, building up piece by piece to the climax. That was fine by me. I didn't want this to be fast... wait... that seems off... shouldn't I... ah, forget it! Point is taking them down would take time, and need work.

As she said, she also had quite the ability to tinker in people's minds. She could drive a memory into the realm of forgotten dreams, or restrict someone from interfering. "It's real popular with the exhibitionists," she said. I bet.

She even had some physical powers. The most obvious was to fortify you, making you quite the love making machine. Alternately, she could do the inverse, making someone practically orgasm from a simple touch. She could even do some body alteration later, although that was expensive.

Speaking of which, all of this had its cost. The more overt the power usage, the more juice she needed. So, there was also a need to start small then go big. The more energy she had stockpiled, the more versatile she became, but of course I'd have to get her a stockpile first.

So now was the plotting phase! Who would be my first target? Hmh? Find a way out of this mess? What are you talking about?

Kodachi was honestly a total nutter, but she was also a rich kid type who believed herself inherently superior to everyone else. She was little physical threat outside of her rhythmic gymnastics ring where she could cheat to prop up her lacking talents, so I could easily over power her. She also has a mansion with lots of space, and a good deal of money which could be very useful later.

Ukyo tried to present herself as the friendly sort, but under the hood she was a schemer. She was more than willing to **** her friendship with Ranma to get closer to him. So, while she might initially seem undeserving, I knew differently. She had her own place, however small, and a bit of funds to her name, but she was also formidable in a fight, far better than me. Taking her down would take a more subtle approach.

Shampoo... oh Shampoo, you're my top prize. That damned arrogant superior Amazon, she has practically everything I lack, and she's more than willing to remind me of such every time we get into conflict. Laying her low I was going to particularly savor, but that same superiority made her a troublesome target. Plus, she had little use beyond that.

I really did want to go after Shampoo first, but I had to admit, long term, it was a bad choice. No, she would be the prize at the end of the road. No, strategically speaking, Kodachi was the logical choice. She was the least threatening, giving me time to work out the kinks, and with the most side benefits.

I feel like I'm forgetting something... bah, probably wasn't important anyway. Now to take down Kodachi! How to start though?

"If I might make a suggestion... I find you get best flavor when they bring it on themselves. So, why not give her a little opportunity to be a bad girl... and punish her a little."

Yes... YES, that's perfect!
