"There's this one girl..."

“Well… there’s this one girl…”

You listen carefully as Meg describes Jo. Jo, her nemesis. A tall, sporty, athletic brunette, captain of the Upknott College girls’ basketball team.

“She’s always picking on me,” says Meg, embittered, getting worked up as she describes the dozen infuriating ways the basketball girls harass her on a daily basis. “Just because I’m smart. Upknott’s pretty small, so I keep running into her. And one time she even…”

“Yes?” You already know what happened, since you can read Meg’s mind, but it’s fun to make her say it out loud.

“I was coming out of the library with my arms full of books, walking across the lawn in front of everyone, and she… she…”

“Go on.”

“She pulled my pants down,” said Meg, reluctantly, in a small voice. “And I couldn’t get to them, because my arms were full of books.”

“How dreadful. Did lots of people see?”

“...yes.”

“What colour panties were you wearing? It might be important.”

“I… yellow. But I don’t see how…”

“Are you wearing yellow panties right now?”

“That’s none of your business! I command you not to ask me any more impertinent questions!”

“Please, don’t take offence. I’m a professional. Demons have to know this sort of thing. So you’d like **** on Jo, is that correct?”

“...I mean, since the summoning actually did work, and I’ve got you here, and it’s sort of your whole thing…”

“...yes?”

“I suppose I might as well.”
