You are Magic, which is just grand and a little boring. Mostly you sit around in your home dimension, waiting for a mortal to call for you. There are a lot of other Magic’s and you can’t choose who gets summoned, though the more experienced elders usually let the young ones get a chance.

You are a veritable baby, the first of the century. It’s very exciting to imagine what might be your first wish. Everyone likes to tell stories of their time in the physical realm and you have a lot of good ideas already.

Hold on…The others are nudging you towards a big red portal that’s opening in the emptiness. You’re being summoned! This is great!

Presence is very important. You’ve practiced making yourself look mystical and mighty, but you forget all of that when you see your summoner. She’s a young rabbit who’s sobbing into her paws.

(Mortals have to stay awake for three days to access Magic, and by that time they’re usually a bit hysterical.)

“My boyfriend cheated on me and when I confronted him about it he got violent.” she says. “I just want him to go back to when he was nice and we were in love.”

You have your task, which you need to fulfill using the following guidelines:
-You must complete the task
-You must increase the overall TERROR and/or MISERY in the world.
-If you complete the task with generous IRONY, you will have a better story to tell back home
-You can play the long game, but you’ll risk your summoner being found out or killing themselves.

what are our abilities?
what limits do we have?

Gather information about your target. Their name, names have power, appearance, the person he cheated with, etc. you could go with some strict mind control but that would be boring, maybe some illusions where anyone he looks at reminds him of this girl, it might be funny to drive the man insane, but he can’t get caught. Oh boy you are excited!!!

also, try to get the BF to genuinely want to get back together only for the summoner to cheat on him.
(preferably with a close friend of his)

>>997800
It's pretty straightforward and expected irony, but it is a delicious irony. More broken hearts this way, increasing MISERY.

Ok so how good are we at brain surgery? We could lobotomize the poor sap after abducting him in the middle of the night.

So we need to magic him into being nice and in love with the bnuy. Simple goal.

Ooh, note how she didn't state that explicit "always act in my best interests" clause. That means we can mess with her any way we want besides messing up her boyfriend! She done goofed!

>Get the boyfriend to genuinely want to get back together, only for the girlfriend to cheat on him with a close friend

The rabbit collapses on her bed and you stand watch while you debate how exactly to do this. The problem with being an omnipotent eldritch monstrosity is that you have too many options.

You can interact with the physical world now that you’re here, but if you change a living creature with your influence it will become ‘cursed’ and liable to side effects.

You can talk to the boyfriend. Given your predecessors’ reputation of TERROR and MISERY, he’d probably respond well to threats without you having to do much else, though you could also pretend to be a familiar mortal to more authentically persuade him. Getting your summoner to cheat once they’re back together will be tricky, but once the situation is stable you can start causing all sorts of doppelganger trouble.

Well, okay, so Step 1 should be to off the girl he's cheating with. Horrifically, painfully, and ironically. Murder that hypotenuse real good. Heck, you don't even need to be subtle about it. What are they gonna do? Arrest you? They can't even kill you, and of course, any heat you bring will lead back to the summoner.

(Hey, it's the summoner's fault for not laying down any classic ground rules like "no murder" or "don't screw me over.")

But what if you shapeshifted into someone who that buny was attracted to and had her cheat on her soon to be re-boyfriend with YOU. And then you spread selacious rumors of your sinful acts. Wait that doesent really spread misery. Uhhh, Can you just curse the two to have demons follow them and hurt the ones they love near them unless they copulate. Force them to be together, then curse someone else with that and push them together with the bunny. There's just too many ways to go about this, I wonder what the other parts of your collective hive-mind have to say on this matter.

>What counts as changing a creature?

For example, you could go into the boyfriend’s mind and make him nice again, but then he wouldn’t really be himself anymore. A similar effect would be achieved by killing him and taking his place. If you changed someone physically, say by saving a dying patient or giving someone superpowers, their body would be cursed, but their brain would stay intact.

>Kill the girl he’s cheating with

That seems to be a reasonable and prudent course of action. You leave your summoner and swoop from her apartment to the other girl’s place, halfway across town.

You find the offending boyfriend sleeping by her side, which is very convenient. You form yourself into an approximation of your summoner, complete with hockey mask and machete like the one you’ve heard about in the stories.

Take on video game jerking motions, they will decrease the probability of premature killing while screwing with his mind.

NONONONONONO not as the summoner, that might make it so it's impossible for them to get back together without mind control. Maybe uh, read the mind of the Boyfriend or Girlfriend and pick their Ex or their Mom or something, heck if you could pick some politician or someone famous and leave evidence that it was them that would make it 10x more CHAOTIC.

Hey, hey, hey! Didn't I say you didn't have to be subtle? Pretty sure bothering to disguise yourself as a mortal kind of counts as subtlety. Drag the whole room into a hell dimension or something and turn into the Demon of Unfaith - scare the dude straight and keep the girl for torture purposes. Stop limiting yourself like a mortal would.

True, you wouldn’t want to cause any confusion for the boyfriend. You shift back into your base form and draw back the machete. A touch personal for your first task, but what the heck.

You’re jerky at first, but get the hang of it. Once the blood is gurgling out of the gashes in her neck and chest, the boyfriend wakes up.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” he screams. Blood has already soaked into his fur and he tries to scramble to his feet, tangling himself in the sheets in the process.

How do you convince him to get back with your summoner?

>>997890
"If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with."

Did you know they changed the law, cheating on someone is punishable by death on the second offense. Good thing you only did it once right. Tough break for the girl though, she was a repeat offender.

Shotgun wedding time.

>>997896
This, and "Remember, God loves you. That's why He sends us down to enforce the Law. Even if you're not of a high enough caste to receive divine visions about the updates, you can still get instructions from those who are, like your friendly local politician, or CEO, or Pope. Not the priests though, half those renegades preach kindness and wisdom - what does any of that have to do with the law?"

You fashion yourself a chair and address the panicking fox who is currently being sick on the floor.

One of your parents made friends with their summoner and told you that mortals were quite talkative when they didn’t think they were in danger. You adopt a casual tone.

“Cheating on your girlfriend is not cool.” you say.

The boyfriend might have missed that over the retching. You cough lightly to get his attention.

“You need to get back together, and be good to her, or else what happened to your friend will happen again. Understand?”

“You’re Magic.” he splutters.

“If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with.” you say sagely. “Do not tell the authorities. I will be watching.”

You clean up the body and give the boyfriend some tips about healthy relationships and clear communication. Now to report back to your summoner once she’s awake.

Make blood gurgle out of the bathroom mirror in the form of a big thumbs-up finger when she wakes up. That's the classy way to tell her 'mission accomplished!'

Time to work on part two, let’s find some random (rich?) (handsome?) schmuck and just hypnotize them into being in love w/ your summoner

That's a terror and misery smorgasbord right there. You pretty much got a free pass to do whatever.

Put him to sleep, preserve the body in an extra dimensional space, become the girl and lay next to him, pretending to be asleep and un-chopped up, disappear all the blood but leave the chair and his puke puddle in tact.
Then Rouse him. Let him think everything is OK, until he realizes it's not. When he looks away or flees, make all the vomit and the chair disappear from reality.

Drop the severed head of her ex-ex's ex in her bed as she wakes up. Job well done!

You certainly could, but any more stress and he’d throw himself off the balcony.

>Wait in the bathroom mirror

You run through the profiles of suitable suitors for your summoner while you wait for her to wake up. You have to wait a while as she catches up on her sleep deficit.

Finally, she peels herself out of bed and stumbles to the bathroom. When she meets your eye you stick your thumb out and show her the head of the girl you killed.

She blinks at you, dark shadows smudging the fur under her eyes. “This is real? And you fixed everything?”

You nod.

She leans back and beckons to you with a finger. You poke yourself out of the mirror and are startled when she hugs your form.

“Thank you.” she whispers. “Magic really is the only way to get justice in this world. I knew you would help.”

Nothing left now but to FINISH THE JOB

An important lesson your parents taught you as a tot was to not be an asshole. Sure you could poke holes in your summoner’s phrasing or explode them on sight or annihilate the planet, but then no one would use magic and babies wouldn’t get made.

You think you’ve done a fine job with the original intention of the task. It’s an art, not a science.

Speaking of art, you do some impromptu brain surgery on one of your summoner’s friends, a handsome yuppie mole you find walking home from work. As long as she’s alive, he’ll be the perfect man and hopefully a candidate for infidelity.

If the boyfriend kills her, which you wager is fairly probable, the mole will go back to normal with a nasty mental curse for the rest of his life.

Anything you want to do before you return home? You’ll be able to keep an eye on the mole when you go back.

Take some time to think about the story you want to tell to your other Magics!!! You've got a moment to kill before you have to go back.

Maybe go snoop on someone who was magic'd by one of your elder Magics just so you can get a taste of what someone more experienced would do!

You should give your summoner a hug back before you go.

You find the city where your parents were lucky enough to meet. The buildings are empty and the years have burst water pipes and let vegetation run wild. Bones and fossilized skin are scattered everywhere.

There’s a burnt house on a small hill overlooking the city. You find a dead summoner’s husk melted into the carbonized carpet.

A very enlightening field trip, but you must get back home.

You let yourself swirl into a portal and disappear into your dimension with a small pop. Your parents immediately crowd you.

“How was it? Were you alright?”

“Was your summoner nice?”

You understand your parent’s concern. You had been a weird child.

Summoner was very nice! She was a sweetheart who'd had her heart broken by a faithless boyfriend, so you murdered the boyfriend's new girl, and then lobotomized one of your summoner's friends so she'd inevitably cheat with him thus making the whole thing a delicious double tragedy!

She gave you a hug and everything when you dropped old bf's new gf's head in front of her!

Then you went and saw mom and dad's old stomping ground and it was cute. You can see why they liked it.

Suddenly realize you did far more damage than your kind needed.

“Very good.” says your mother, the city destroyer. The other Magics, who have clustered around nod with approval.

“But I also made one of her friends fall in love with her and hopefully they get together. That way the boyfriend will be extra miserable and the summoner won’t even need him.”

The Magics clamor with excitement. They rub against each other and produce a shining gold star, which they toss to you.

After things have died down, your father, the formerly burnt house, takes you aside.

“That was very good.” it says uneasily. “But you only killed one person, right? And the summoner survived?”

You nod.

“Next time, try to cause a little more trouble.”

You’re confused. You’d been thinking you could have done a lot less damage.

What kind of damage?
Won't people summon Magics less often if there's too much collateral damage?

So like instead of just taking the head of the girl and showing the summoner I should have put it somewhere really obveous to incite mass panic?

's fine, you'll work your way up. You've got so many ideas! This one just turned out to be one of those intimate personal-relationship ruining things. You think the mortals call it a romantic tragedy?

You're up for critiques, though! Did anything other than the scale of things feel off?

The humans aren’t made of cities, dad. Besides, it’s the start of an urban legend. We can always come back to this story and see how her life unfolds. It’s the gift that keeps on giving for a couple of decades.

“Hrm. Well young one, if a nasty summoner ever tries to trap you with a paradox or turn you against your home, simply crush them underfoot.”

“Oh…” You really don’t want to smash your rabbit. “Can they actually hurt us? I thought Magics were all powerful.”

The elder sighs. “True, we cannot be harmed physically, but your father is an example of how we can be manipulated. I myself have a number of summoner’s descendants who know of me as an individual, with thoughts and feelings. Soon I will have to use a summons to leave this plane.”

“Retirement.” you say thoughtfully.

“... Hey Elder? I... I know that I have a need to cause suffering and chaos. And yet, I did genuinely like my summoner - she was really sweet once she got over her sleep-deprived hysteria.

“Certainly. A mortal may ask for power greater than your own, or for you to not kill anyone or create any curses. Impossible things. We need to cause suffering, that is one of the rules of our access to their space.”

“Stay where you are. Do not use your power on anyone.” she snaps. This is technically a task, so you plant yourself in the cement and adopt a tall, regal form complete with muscles and a cape, star on your forehead. You look around.

Your summoner is a thin rat, clearly irritated, whether from the sleep deprivation or the sheer number of automatic rifles pointed at her head. The captain is still shushing his soldiers, who are on edge after your eyeball stunt.

Once they settle down, he leans over to the rat. “What’s that on its head?”

“I believe it’s a gold star.” she says dryly.

“Yes, but what does it mean?”

Your summoner is in danger, and has yet to give you an "Acceptable" task.
You need only not move nor harm with current orders. Alter your body so you surround your summoner entirely, as YOU cannot be harmed.

Then you may convene in peace.

Claim you were playing around with x-ray vision, like a superhero, but you weren't allowed to use ACTUAL x-ray since that'd be counted as using your power on someone, so you cheated.

You don't gotta answer unless the summoner directly commands it of you.

She only specified that you "stay put" and "don't use magic on 'anybody.'"

Can you place an extreme accelerated erosion/corrosion/entropy curse on the physical location encompassing the building, but have it only affect inorganic materials? Bring the building down around us real quick.

>Something you'd give to a child for doing a good job
Very insightful.

Make a face like you're about to eat or attack one of the soldiers, get 'em to shoot you, but position yourself to have the bullets whizz right through you and hit someone else.

>>998330
That wasn't a question, no need to comment on it. You were clearly told not to give them information. Although... you can respond to non-questions with LIES. Not that I can think of a cool lie to say in response to that comment...

Hmm. "your power", huh? Would physical force count as "your power"? Perhaps you could interpret that as simply being unable to change them directly. You could probably just grab the guns and use them to kill everyone but your summoner.

Or you could just... expand to take up all empty space in the room. Why don't you do that? Do it very quickly, while saying "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, does this bother you?"

>>998330
"You know, your mother summoned me once."

Do not elaborate on this, however you are pressed.

Make a scary face on your back. Maybe your summoner’s, gasping for air.

Stare daggers at the mouse and, without a word, throw the star at her face.

Then say "Shut up, Stuart Little."

>Throw the star at her

Hell no, that star is your dearest and only possession. Some would say it’s your sole identifying physical characteristic.

>Make a scary face

The seagull flinches and you howl into the tight space. You get as close as you can to your summoner without touching her, like you’re about to eat her.

“That would be a lot more effective if you weren’t wearing a good job star.” she says.

“I AM SHOWING YOU MERCY.” you say. “I COULD CRUSH YOU.”

She flicks you in the middle of the horrible mass and the captain gasps audibly. When you don’t retreat, she rolls her eyes. “Yes, yes, you could kill me. Tell me about yourself. That’s a question.”

I am a fairly NEW magic. You are my SECOND summoner.
I am told I am LESS DESTRUCTIVE than my counterparts.
The ROILING CHAOS inside me is fickle, bouncing between EXTREME VIOLENCE and EXTREME KINDNESS.

>>998347
No it isn't.

>yes, you could kill me
YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND.

Say that you are new, and you said “you could kill me” so bye. And proceed to kill her since it cancels out her other order.

I am young and desicive magic with much to prove!

>>998357
Release a burst of radiation. Their wish is our command, after all. There is more misery to be wrought of a slow, invisible death than a sudden and violent one.

>>998360
Precisely this. Maybe thank her for being such a cool and easy summoner.

>>998375
Making it slow will give her a chance to have you undo it.

"I am fairly new, my elders say I could stand to be more destructive, but I just learned that I should do-" impale her through the throat, heart, and both lungs with your own mass, no curses, "this to uppity summoners. Pretty cool and easy of you to say I 'could' kill you just now - k thx bai." Finish with the brain and bounce.

>Annihilate that rat

With an invitation like that, how could you refuse? Your elder told you not to talk to strangers anyway. Before your summoner can react, you make a massive hand and flick her head off, which is extreme IRONY.

The head crunches against the opposite wall and you hear a soldier yelp as it falls at his feet. The captain is frozen, staring at the headless corpse.

You wait for the portal to take you home. You’ve never killed your summoner before so when nothing happens, you wonder if you did something wrong.

Black tentacles sprout from the neck stump and form themselves into a bloody, tooth gnashing face.

“Fucking children.” your summoner spits. “Answer the damn questions.”

Well then be more careful, damn.
I guess answer the question.

Yo, that's rad. Tell her that's rad.
Explain she said you could kill her, so what did she expect? She should really be better with her wording here if she's an experienced summoner.
Anyway, we're compelled to comply, so answer her questions. Her last question was to tell her about ourself.

We're pretty new Magic and we're just stoked to be here honestly. Our elders told us we weren't as destructive as other Magics but hopefully once we get some experience under our belt we can do something cool.

You could just answer that you are magic, an embodiment of Chaos.

Also while you say that, analyze her, figure out why she didn’t die, if it’s something simple like needing to completely borp her body out of existence. Do that. She never did tell you to stop trying to kill her.

>>998395
Yeah just tell her you're magic, chaos etc. You're also, you know, not supposed to be giving out eldritch knowledge.

I am the first magic born in this century, concieved during the destruction of the nearby city.
I see you are fans of my first mission.

The compulsion is strong enough to make you stumble over your words. It’s hard to think about what to say that won’t give away too much information. It doesn’t help that you know you’re going against the task with the evasion. “Uh, I’m Magic. I’m pretty new.”

“Yes, obviously. We have a cursed artifact that’s alerts us to summons, and another that can identify Magic signature so we could tell you were new. Be more specific.”

“Well—well I was born a few years ago, from a city and a house. My dad told me I’m nicer than I should be. I do the usual chaotic evil stuff cause I’m a Magic. I dunno.”

The rat gets up while you’re talking and approaches the unfortunate snail from earlier. She claws his throat open and catches his body as the heavy gun clatters to the floor. She starts eating his face while he’s still struggling.

“Keep going.” she says, mouth full.

You squint at your summoner. Now that you’re looking you can see several layers of wishes swirling around inside her. That rat is mega cursed.

“That’s really it.” you protest.

“Tell me about your first summoner then.”

>>998428
Can't, would spoil the specifics of the wish if government officials started meddling with the parties involved.

This is after all, with a broad interpretation of her desire for happiness with her boyfriend, true.

>>998428
Tell her that's a wish conflict. Can't do it. Also you're wondering how many body parts she can lose before she dies for good. Maybe you should find out.

I'm not sure the wish I was tasked with has fully come to frution, and you executing the summoner won't help.

It was DEFINITELY not a grave enough wish to eat an unrelated soldier over.
Thanks for increasing terror and misery for me, by the way.

Since you can't go and kill anyone yourself this is kinda convenient actually. We didn't bother getting her name, so just describe her build - short, female, bunny, touchy-feely.

Never got her name. She's a bunny. That's honestly all we got.

Are interrogations of Magic like this common? I'm not even really sure what they're hoping to get out of this.

Teenage psychopath.
Happily thanked me for murdering her boyfriends mistress.
I Secretly made someone else in her friend group the perfect man to encourage her own infidelity.
I regret not establishing a working relationship with them. Someone so simple and genuine would have been a joy to be repeatedly summoned by.

You don’t want to give any specifics in case the government officials start meddling. That would cause a wish conflict, and though that’s never stopped any Magic before, you’re happy to use it as an excuse.

“Girl.” you say unhelpfully.

The rat grumbles something incomprehensible as she strips the snail to the bone, and you choose not to understand her.

“I said, how many people did you kill?”

You screw up your face. A specific question like that is harder to work around.

“One.”

“Really? How many people did you curse?”

“Uh…” you feel like you’re being judged. “One.”

The rat snorts and wipes her mouth. Fur is starting to grown back around the edges of the grey flesh. “You’re a weird one.”

“Why are you interrogating me?” you complain. “Is this normal?”

The captain answers this time. “It’s in the national security interests of our country to have a comprehensive view of the Magic threat.”

“Yes, and if your first summoner caused actual trouble we’d have to do something about it. But she didn’t, so we won’t. Anyway, you can go now.” the rat says dismissively.

"Am I the murderous magic, the only one concerned she just killed a fellow person instead of asking for an animal or something?"

If you were to switch a chunk of matter from the core of the planet with one nearer the surface, it would create a delayed, and very catastrophic, volcanic eruption.

This experience has been an unpleasant one.
If this happens again I'm going to cause a natural disaster.
Good day, sir.
Leave. Someone died for a conversation. Good enough.

"Well, alright. This has been pretty boring, so I hope I never see you guys again!"

If she kills and eats people to recover from dying, go ahead and kill her again before bouncing - completely squish her underfoot this time.

"K', bye."

>>998487
Exactly.

You've only killed one person thus far, and it looks like they need to kill someone every time they summon a Magic. Wouldn't that mean they've been making the world a more miserable place? That soldier probably had a family.

>>998491
I think the rat only needs to kill to regenerate.

>>998486
Don't go back home yet. Leave the compound, go cause some chaos. The rat didn't specify where you should be going, after all.

“Am I the only one concerned that she just ate someone?” you say to the assembled soldiers. They keep their eyes down and ignore you.

“It was your fault. You injured me and I had to regenerate.” the rat says, slumping back into her chair. “Even an idiot can see that.”

You look expectantly at the captain, who nods in agreement.

Upset that the captain would take the rat’s side, you take a generous interpretation of ‘you can go’ to poke your head up from the compound.

You emerge in a sunny field, civilization nowhere to be seen. You can’t even spot the vehicle your summoner came in on. There’s not much you can do for revenge.

Red flecks are swirling around your body. You retreat back into the bunker.

“Alright, bye. You better not call me again.” you say stiffly.

These guys are all dumb jerks. Taking "reasonable precautions" when dealing with an intrinsically harmful and extremely dangerous force! How dare they!?

This is unbecoming behavior for a Magic. Injure your summoner again before you go. If they're so unconcerned, then I guess it's fine.

Weird nerds. Flip them the bird on your way out.
Also perhaps flip the bird-captain enough to make him puke.

Don’t inherently hurt anyone there, but make the air smell gross enough they want to vomit as a fuck you before you go

Pretty sure we can still only kill the summoner again as per our current parameters.

"Alright, peace." Smush her underfoot and bounce.

“Of course we’re going to summon you again. You barely caused any damage and you appear to be just as powerful as your kin.” your summoner says.

That puts a real frown on your face. No damage?? You’ll show them no damage.

You arrive home in a rotten mood. What do you say to your parents and friends?

How often do we get summoned by colonel questions? And how do they summon specific Magic anyway?

They called me to see what I did.
Answered a couple questions and killed a couple people.

Fuckin government wanting me to pay taxes n shit I'm a freakin' sovereign citizen they can't tell me to do shit.

"So I got summoned by this boring rat lady with the government or whatever. I let her bad attitude get to me, and I ended up looking pretty immature. They asked a few basic questions about who I am - Magic, duh - and what I did, but I managed to give nothing up aside from a few vague statistics and the fact that I was new. She said what I did wasn't worth following up on! I mean, I know there's something to be said about keeping a low profile, but come on! I ended up killing her a few times, but she was too cursed already for it to stick, but she kills and eats her buddies whenever she regenerates, so it was still a productive summoning, I think."

ask your parents if they ever had to deal with stupid government idiots

>>998515
This basically, also mention they want to summon you again because they think you’re “relatively harmless” you’re in a bad mood. Maybe try to do stuff that Magic’s do for fun around here to destress.

The general anarchist malaise generates a lustrous red star, which soars through the non-space and fixes itself to your form.

Two stars! You are a very lucky Magic indeed.

Hopefully you’re not going to be summoned again for a while, you feel kind of tired. What do you do while you wait?
-Talk to your mother
-Talk to your father about his relationship with his ex-summoner (juicy)
-Check in with the mole
-Do something fun

funfunfun

What fun can you do in this realm? Isn't that the point of summoning?
Check in on our mole.

I’m gonna echo my previous comment and go with FUN

Juicy, you say? That, definitely!
And let's also see if we can get info on this rat lady from the other magics. What's her name? What are her curses? What her history as a summoner?

It's been a minute; let's check on our mole, see how that unfolding situation's coming along.

Check on the mole through the magic of Magic TV. Maybe invite your mom to watch and give pointers if it's not creating too much emotional distress yet?

You wonder what your double agent is up to and you settle down to watch Magic TV. You get a first person view of sitting on the couch, talking to the rabbit summoner about feelings.

“Things have been a lot better with Chris, thanks for asking.” she says.

You can speak or let the mole speak for himself.

Let the mole speak, see who's suffering more.

Let the mole speak for himself, you made him the perfect boyfriend material, let your work do the talking and feel proud of yourself.

I trust our brain surgery skills. This is relaxation time, let the mole control.

After the mole I kindof want to know what "manipulation" means when the summoner can just... you know, tell you to do things.

Let him do the talking, then if its insufficiently heartbreaking you can take over

“I’m glad he’s stopped being an ass. Speaking of, it’s weird how the police haven’t been able to find Jessica. It’s like she completely disappeared. Must be hard on Chris, they were close.” the mole says.

Your rabbit looks strained. “Yeah, no idea what happened.”

The rabbit stares at you. “Elijah, I wouldn’t be alive if I used magic. Don’t fucking say that.”

There’s a loud crunching by your side. Your father has come to watch and is munching on an ethereal bag of popcorn. You glare at him. Magics don’t need to eat.

“Sorry.” your dad says. “I’m doing a bit. It’s IRONY.”

The rabbit was an exceptional summoner. She takes joy in death so long as it serves her ends. I hope I am summoned by more like her.

Taking over the mole for a second to say she was a cool summoner might scare the shit out of her, but then she’d know what ya did to the mole. Might be worth it if you want her to summon you again, she seems neat.

But like, you’re totally not attached or anything. Maybe ask your dad if that’s a good idea first.

We did kind of leave Chris to deal with the body, huh?

Ooh, come to think of it, seduction via blackmail would indeed be the method of homewrecking that would cause the most stress and suffering to all parties.

Then again, it's a bit of a weird angle to come out and directly accuse her of that out of nowhere without proof, but we did program him to be manipulative, so he could very well be going somewhere with this. Let's consult our experienced dad on the issue, though.

"... Then again, maybe it's more likely that Chris did something... more mundane to her." When she objects, assure her that "you" only think she should be careful around this whole situation... because "you" really do care about her.

Even if it'd be highly sus for him to have proof of Magic-based murder, we could direct our mole friend to investigate Chris's movements during that fateful night - evidence of him hiding Jessica's body would be much more effective (if a bit misleading to those not in the know).

You missed a few seconds of conversation and your summoner is now right in the mole’s face.

“—try to blackmail me. If you even think about getting between me and Chris, I’ll end you.” she says.

The mole scoffs. “You won’t.”

Whoa now, things are getting spicy. “Should I do something?” you ask your dad.

“Why? It looks like they’re going to kill each other.”

Nah. if she tries to summon you again for it, so much the better.

Let them be, maybe she'll summon you again to kill him and you can do the same thing, but this time to two more dudes she knows! and then repeat it even more times! She'll be an emotional wreck and be pushing away people that care about her, it's a win win for magics right?

>>998641
Is the curse working right? He doesn't exactly seem to be acting like perfect boyfriend material right now.

Nudge him into being a little more supportive. Maybe curious about the summoning.

Now would be the perfect moment to nudge him to start making out with her.

Make him confess his love.

Oh god the mole blackmailing her to go out with him over this would be terrible in the best way. Then she might summon you again to kill'em or something. Magic sure is an art.

Push the mole towards blackmail. The worse this goes the more likely she summons us for some axe-murder again.

“Dad, shush, I’m about to snag a repeat customer if I play this right.”

He’s blown any chance he had at forming a natural relationship. Don’t let him back down, but don’t let things escalate too quickly here, either. Make her feel cornered without things ending in direct murder.

If you succeed, do ask dad how far you should escalate this time. You were thinking of adding even more abhorrent admirers - this time to the tune of about a dozen, and not all of them as “safe” as this putz.

Intimacy seems messy and unpleasant. Never mind that you were the one to set this up in the first place, you weren’t expecting them to start making out after threatening each other.

You turn off the connection. Your dad makes a disappointed noise. Yuck.

“It’s a part of life. Not our lives, but still.” he says when you frown at him.

“I mean, she did seem kinda cornered in the moment, so getting repeat business out of her’s not out of the question, which is cool, especially since we also get some immediate heartbreak... Oh, if she does do that, how much should I escalate this time? I was thinking like a dozen more abhorrent admirers.”

Ask your dad if he ever had to watch that stuff when dealing with his ex-summoner. What did he mean by manipulation anyway?

Humans are weird, but hey, at least it ended up how you intended, even if you didn't want to see that particular bit.

He looks surprised. “Of course. 20 years is a very long time to be in their realm and my summoner was quite attractive.”

You have the most grisly and harrowing thought. “Did he ever kiss you?”

“A few times, after a particularly wild night. Sometimes out of platonic affection, I think. He said it was like breathing gelatin.”

“So, when you warned me about manipulative summoners, you were talking about this guy?” you say, disbelieving.

Your dad sobers up instantly. He lowers his voice and tips his form toward you.

“Our kind does not feel pain. Cannot be injured. We are endless, supreme beings.” your father leans in close. “I cared deeply for my summoner. He hurt me.”

You give a shaky nod. “You don’t want me to get close to any mortals, got it. What should I do if the rabbit summons me again?”

“Make sure she won’t summon you a third time.” he replies.

What if pain is good though?
Is it not an experience?
What if your experience was akin to a gift?

Your dad had a rough experience, but as long as your careful you can keep being summoned without exposing yourself to so much risk! A life lived in fear is no life at all little magic!

Sounds rough. Thanks for the advice, dadgic.
I don't think we need to change anything, though. It's not like we feel particularly attached to this summoner, she's our first one.

Thank Dadgic, though think internally that you hope something like that doesent happen to you. You don't wanna be hurt by a summoner like that you think.

How did he hurt you, dad? Nothing can be THAT bad for our kind!

>>998679
Ah, manipulated his feelings, then betrayed him. Or at least, that's what he thinks happened... I wonder how much was intentional on the summoner's side of things. I wonder if all that happened was the summoner wasn't having fun anymore and called it off. 20 years is a long time to have a friendship, long enough for it to drift apart.

Anyway, tell him you'll keep things impersonal.

You consider your dad’s words. Your current strategy seems fine since you’re not particularly attached to your first summoner. It would help if you knew exactly how your father was hurt so you could try to avoid it.

“How did he hurt you?” you ask.

Your dad flinches. “I don’t know how to describe it. He didn’t give me a task at first, so I couldn’t complete it and go home. He treated his inevitable wish like a strategy game where he would take as long as he needed to bend the rules.

He genuinely liked me, I think, but everything he did was calculated and the affection he showed was meant to strengthen our relationship. I was very alone. I thought he was special. And then, when everything was perfect and I thought he and I would be together forever, he died.”

Your dad leaves with an audible sniffle and you’re left in your quiet patch of empty space. What do you do while you wait for something to happen?
-Talk to your mom
-Gotta go fast (time skip)

Well that was sad.

Talk to mom.

We should remember to entice people to wish for immortality if we ever find a person we like, maybe.
Talk to Mom. She probably has some more practical advice; how can we be a more destructive magic? We wanna blow up a city one day, but it feels really lame if we just hop out and do that without building up to it.

Talk to mom, get her perspective on things.

Ask around to see if anyone knows anything about the super cursed rat summoner.

>>998711
Support information we must know and we must rally our kind and if we meet that rat again we will i dunno curse them fat beacuse they eat people to regenerate flesh and blood when they seem to do good with just a curse head

You find your mother engaged in vigorous ouroborosing and you have to raise your voice to get her attention.

“Mom! Do you know about any weird government rat lady? Also I just found out dad is super traumatized and likes watching mortals kiss.”

Your mother takes her foot out of her mouth. “Oh, you met Gruoch? She’s effectively immortal. I gave her a curse, made her eat her own children for regenerative powers. She obtained longevity from my cousin later. That rat is going to outlive the solar system’s sun.”

“Dad is gay for his old summoner.” you say for emphasis.

“Yes, dear. There’s nothing wrong with that.”

>>998824
Why didn't Dad just give his summoner longevity or something? Did he not realize he would eventually die?

I don't like her. She said I could kill her and then didn't die. So next time I see her I want her to die if possible. help?

Is she old enough that, like, most people are considered her 'children' by distant blood? She seemed to regen from some random dude.

“She probably meant it rhetorically.” says your mother.

“Then when I beat her up she just ate a random dude and got better.”

“Yes, that’s how my curse works. She had to eat her children to get it started but afterwards any mortal would do.”

“How do I kill her?” you grumble.

Your mother laughs. “Kill her? And ruin all of our hard work?”

The laughter stings and you sulk until your mother has calmed down.

“Dear, that rat is like, er, a mortal bottle of wine.” she explains. “Her curses cause her pain that will only strengthen in time, and while the mortals will eventually die out, she will remain forever.”

"But what if she finds a way to blockade travel between Magic and the world? She has enough time and enough hate."

So she's already suffered a fate worse than death. Got it.
...wait what happens if she needs to regenerate but there are no more people left for her to eat?

Hmm... So I could throw her into the sun...

Got it, so the next time I see her I should cause her more long lasting pain instead of just trying to kill her.

Is there any way the curses set on her could ever backfire? She seems like she’s important to the mortals, with their help could she ever be a threat?

“Okay, but what if she’s a threat to us? She seems to have a good idea of our power, she could get the other mortals to help her stop Magic from coming to the world.”

Your mother opens her mouth and closes it. “Yes, I suppose she could try. Now that I think about it, the government has been rather strict with Magic usage in the recent few decades.”

She wraps you in a hug. “That’s why there haven’t been many children, there’s little chance that two Magics can encounter each other on the planet. You’re my rare treasure.”

Acquiesce to mom snuggles

Snuggle mom, rest until your next summon, think about infecting someone near the rat lady so you can spy on her going forward, maybe so you can set up some countermeasures so she doesent go after your summoners.

Hmm... Maybe we can play the long game with our rabbit. If she has kids, and they get raised as summoners, that's a more likely chance for simultaneous magic summons, right?

Accept snuggles and rest.

What's probably going to happen is the government is going to regulate Magic usage and encourage summoning of those Magics that cause the least harm, then try to negotiate with Magics, which could lead to Magics agreeing to cause less harm in order to be summoned more often and thus get more chances to make children.

How bad would that be?

I wonder what would happen if you throw the rat to space, like into a blackhole or sum

rolled 20 = 20

You give a contented sigh and close your eyes in the protection of your mother’s coils. You’re a little worn out after all the excitement of being summoned for the first and second times and the rest is welcome.

Your thoughts flow as you doze. Maybe the next time you’re summoned you can curse someone to spy on Gruoch. Make sure the rat isn’t plotting something.

Or you could convince your rabbit that Magic isn’t too bad so she’ll start telling other people about it. Yes, and then there would be more children and you’d probably get another star…

You take a few deep breaths. What do you do for your dramatic entrance?

Just walk in the door behind her and tap her on the shoulder.

Is there an eyeball we can burst out of? That feels like a good schtick. She already knows we're a big dumb blob boy though so no need to dress up.

Seep out of the shadows like spilled ink.

Come out from her skirt or below her and scare the bejeezus out of her

Scream a string of angry expletives followed by a loud punctuated "I was busy".

Seep from out of the ceiling like ink all spooky-like.

Appear invisibly to all mortals except her. Engulf her in silent darkness. Speak through thoughts.
Hello again most malevolent one. How may I serve you this day?

Embrace her from behind with the shape of a handsome hawk (but still with the substance of Magic - it won't do to be ambiguous with your summoner). This advance will be thoroughly distressing, assuming she hasn't somehow moved on from her true love already.

“Are you okay?” your summoner asks. “Why are you wearing a skirt?”

She sounds awfully concerned about your well-being for someone who hasn’t slept in 72 hours. You flush and nod hurriedly. You assemble yourself back into your usual blob form and wait for your instruction.

“So things have been going fine except people are starting to ask about Jessica, uh, the squirrel you killed. Chris is staying quiet but Jessica had a lot of friends and her family is getting suspicious. Help?”

Curse her to be able to assume the shape of anybody you've killed, so she can turn into Jessica when needs be to allay suspicion. There's no way whatsoever that this is a horrible idea that will end extremely badly.

Obviously you need to invent a serial-killer persona to throw off people's suspicions.

Mind control one of the relatives/friends to kill the next person to bring up the squirrel girl and give that same person the remains, so if they get caught they both get blamed for that murder and caused another murder and the heat will be off your summoner. But don’t tell them who it is so there’s a chance she accidentally is the one that is killed.

>>998985
Haha is she giving you free reign to solve this?
That's extremely unwise.

Hmmmmmmmm... why don't we frame one of Jessica's friends for the murder? Bury Jessica's corpse in their back yard along with a machete covered in her blood, then curse them to attempt to kill Jessica's family too. Put some kind of incriminating evidence in the friend's personal belongings to establish a motive, like diary entries about how they always hated her and were trying to get close to her to take her down. Then after the date of the murder (make sure the friend has no alibi), alter diary entries so that they grow resentful of the family for getting suspicious.

Huh.
Why AM I wearing a skirt?
The world may never know.

I could make them forget Jessica ever existed!
But I'll need to tack on a curse to each individual as well!
I could figure that part out myself, OR you could try suggesting one!

I could also just SLAUGHTER THEM ALL, but the government might notice.
FUCK THE GOVERNMENT!

...Help how? That's so vague, we could literally do anything and it'd technically count.
We could just kill them all, but that's the lazy option, really. It wouldn't really solve the problem, either.
We could frame someone, of curse, but who?
Or we could take her request the completely other direction and help the friends/family find her. That's a valid interpretation of her wording.

I think our best bet is to curse one of Jessica's family members or friends to have a murderous obsession regarding anyone connected to Jessica. Starting with the family, eventually working up to the boyfriend if they don't get caught first! Irony!

We can help by making her family forget she ever existed and driving all her friends that get curious to mysterious deaths. How’s our driving?

You need the perfect scapegoat for your summoner’s Magic related crimes. You can customize the following features:

-Animal species
-Size (small, medium, large)
-Personality

You also want to give your killer some superpowers to evade capture. You can give them up to two powers, though each will come with an unpleasant curse proportional to the power’s strength.

Size and shape:
An exact physical copy of the girlfriend, as best we can remember. It's probably a plus if a few of the details are wrong.
Personality: Completely cheery.
Special abilities: Hmmmm. Using mirrors/screens/other reflective surfaces to travel ala The Ring, but cursed to be comically inept about half the time ala Ghostface.

Rabbit
Small (Neotenous)
Kind, fun loving, attention seeking, NEEDS others.

Heightened Strength, Speed, Toughness, and Senses.
at the cost of THE HUNGER

A young girl that only wants to be loved. Is regularly consumed by an irresistible urge to hunt, kill, and consume sentient flesh.
She should be unable to share knowledge of this curse with others, crave the company of others, and be mentally unable to kill herself or allow herself to be killed.

She should naturally avoid the summoner. Anyone else the summoner designates as well, though it's not up to us to give her that choice, she'll need to think of it on her own.

A small scrappy fox, they act all adorable and innocent, but are really just a high functioning sociopath.

Give em the power to avoid magic detection (but not yours ofc, you gotta watch them like it’s prime time tv) so the cops and the rat lady don’t catch on. But the curse is that they tend to be memorable to people, so they’ll remember if they see them without a mask on or something.
Maybe the second enhancement could be that they can transform their body’s shape and size so that they can disguise themselves, but they need to eat someone fully in order to transform into them and not just the body part they are.

>>999006
>>999004
Combine both of these Id say, maybe even all of them. Happy go lucky high functioning sociopath shaped like the girl we killed. Frame her as having done shit with magic. One of the powers should be a magic detection avoidance trump power with whatever curse that comes with. Second power maybe a magic bomb ready to go off when she comes into close contact with other cursed/magic beings, proportional to the amount of magic/curses nearby. Leave that rat a ticking time bomb for when she comes sniffing.

Plus if they call you into questioning you can point to your creation and have them bring a bomb straight to you.

If that is too broken idk shape shifting to into who they eat or telepathy but they’re cursed with unending nightmares or some shit works too.

>>999006
Go further and make them a hippopotamus who makes funny hippocampus jokes. They became the apex predators by mastering the cruel practice of wrestling all outsiders underwater until they drowned, and were spared from the purge by being as adorable to theocratic imperialists as possible.
Make them cutely deformed and brittle, with a personality to match.

Foxy guy who is obsessed with pleasing you by killing rodents with the machete you used to kill the squirrel.
Have him fail miserably on his first mission, though,that way, they can frame him for the squirrel.

A yardbird, male. Generally pleasant but somewhat distressing in his inability to care about anything bad he witnesses or hears about.

Power 1: Memory Fog.
ABILITY: People start to forget details about him with alarming speed while he isn't within their field of perception.
CURSE: He's unable to remember people's names and faces himself.

Power 2: Deadly Pursuit
ABILITY: Anyone who thinks he's responsible for a crime and actively "pursues" this guy will suffer misfortune after misfortune, which gets more dangerous the closer they actually get to him. Can turn lethal, Final Destination style, if they really get too close to comfort.
CURSE: The power fails if multiple people are physically pursuing him at the same time, and he's plagued with minor bad luck and injuries at all hours of the day regardless of whether his power is active.

>Moose
>Large
>Oblivious
Powers: Accelerated healing by eating. Like the rat.
If they can fit their thumb into an opening, they can squeeze into it. Mouseholes, eye sockets... eyes are going to be a thing with us aren’t we. Maybe we should make a pseudonym to take credit for these murders. How about... the Oculus Rift.

You grow a small female fox out of cells and tangles of protein. You make her absolutely adorable and a complete sociopath.

Her first power lets her avoid detection, both magical and normal. Any Magic that’s tasked with finding her will get a gentle, but firm handwritten note to leave her alone. The fox can also make herself partially invisible and hide in tight spaces.

Her second power is accelerated healing by consuming mortal flesh, just like the rat. Not very original, but there’s some good IRONY in there.

You want to show your summoner your work, but the poor rabbit has already passed out on her bed. It’s up to you to finish the job.

What is your creation’s name? How do you prepare her for the real world?

Speak in your BIG BOOMING VOICE that you think sounds cool and that you programmed your sweet child to think sounds cool but then realize you're too loud and make it a quiet booming voice and welcome her to the world. Tell her that you gave birth to her and what her job is. Answer some questions for her if she has any, and when everything is done, give her a big old smooch on the head and let her do her thing.

Her name is Fenn and you prepare her by going shopping for cute, stain-proof clothes. Also tell her that she's free to go somewhere far away and do whatever once she fulfills her life's work, killing these specific people.

>>999077
This and also we're naming her Emma, but we're calling her darling.

Make her passionately obsessed with your summoner, imitating her at nearly all times so everyone thinks she's poorly pinning her crimes on your summoner.

Also see if they will do the hanky panky together.

Copy your summoners knowledge and her recent memories, and implant them into her brain.

Implant a strong notion that these memories are forgotten and not her own, she is her own person.

Implant a strong desire to kill anyone the summoner has felt strong anxiety towards lately, except the summoner and her 2 boyfriends.

Implant a subtle aversion to the summoner and the mole, so that she naturally avoids those two, at least physically.

If summoner goes to school, insert Emma into the school roster, but with a different schedule, one that most aligns with the targets schedules.
Grant her valid state identification, drivers license(with driving ability), birth certificate, ect.
Grant her basic martial arts capability, basic knife use ability, fire arm use ability, lock picking ability, 15000 bucks, and a non descript hand bag.

Emma, Or Emms for short, works.

just show her like, a bunch of seasons of Matlock.

Perhaps we should check what kind of curses our powers incurred?

The fox winces at the loud noise and you hastily turn down the volume.

“NOOOO, THAT IS THE PERSON YOU’RE TRYING TO PROTECT. YOU KNOW, BY KILLING PEOPLE.

You’re a good way through season 1 when you hear the rabbit groan from the bedroom. Emma follows you back to the edge of the bed. She stares at your summoner with hungry eyes.

“Blegh, why’d you make her a fox?” your summoner says, rubbing her face. “My boyfriend’s a fox. It’s weird.”

The rabbit sticks out her paw. “I’m Joanne. Call me Jo.”

Emma takes it and you hear the fox’s bones sliding against each other in her hand. That tight spaces power seems to have made her quite fragile.

Wonder if she’s even going to be able to kill anyone with how fragile she is. Maybe suggest poison?

is she just really squidgy or will she actually break?

Also be like "that's a necessary part of the magic" in regards to her being a fox also.

Oh should we tell her the government is like, tracking her magic use and knows she's using magic or something? Like. They don't know it's her directly, but they have ways of finding out pretty immediately.

hmm.
Alter her collagen so that her joints are hyper elastic and well lubricated, but do so in a way that will overgrow and cause severe deformities once she starts to age.

It will partially mitigate the fragility issue now and make her a more efficient weapon, but also cause her many decades of suffering should she survive longer than 10-20 years.

>>999155
Exactly. Hence why we made the fox to help take care of 'these little problems' Jo has been dealing with.

That way they government shouldn't be able to track her as easily.

>>999153
Suggest ranged weaponry. She can hide somewhere improbable, shoot them with a sleeping dart or stun gun or what have you, and then take her time. ...Probably not a sleeping dart in case she has to eat them afterward.

Suggest eating only burgers or other such socially acceptable foodstuffs for regeneration.
Also, teach her about bribing, blackmailing, coertion and other forms of manipulation.

The less deaths there are, the better she will take attention away from Joanne.

“It’s fine.” Emma says. “You made me like this.”

“Are you sure it’s okay? I can change your collagen or make you more flexible. Do you need a gun? How are you going to murder people with your baby, frail, darling—“

“Oh yeah, the government can tell when you use Magic.” you tell Jo. “They don’t know it’s you, but they can find out.”

The rabbit looks startled. “How? They have to be using Magic too then, right? That’s super illegal.”

The irony of this statement is not lost on you, but you keep quiet. “Emma will distract them, and she can defend you against any attacks.”

“I know how to lie and manipulate too.” Emma supplies.

Jo frowns. “Does that mean she’s living with me?”

No.
If she can't tell, that's a yes.

Uhhhh where else could she live? She's got no ID and no job, no money, no possessions... I guess she'll have to stay here until she gets some resources. Or murders someone and squats in their home.

"... Imma slap you silly now to pay for teleporting Emma to the outskirts of town so nobody can connect her to you."

"Wha-"

"Then it's house hunting time!"

Slappyslappyslappy! (Make sure to hold back so that you don't maim her or anything. The stress of people asking her repeatedly whether Chris is beating her will make up for the initial lack of severity.)

"You wanted a quick solve-all solution, here she is. Don't complain if you now have a few extra problems you can solve yourself."

Offer your summoner a choice, pay for the teleportation of Emma to the other side of the city in blood or by being beat up a bit, or solve the problem of her housing by coming up with the solution yourself, you asked for a solution to the problem, she’s it. You have to figure it out from here.

Depends, do you have any shut-in neighbors that wouldn't be missed if they were replaced with someone else?

she can live in like random peopels' atticks or whatever. She's real squidgy

If you command me to house her, doing so will be a trivial process.
The issue is identity, and (Growling) THE GOVERNMENT. (Make a nearby person or animal outside of this room randomly shout FUCK THE GOVERNMENT for no reason.)

If Emma stays with you I can produce GOOD ENOUGH ID that'll pass in most circumstances.
If I put her in a house or some shit I need to put her info into GOVERNMENT (Someone once again screams FUCK THE GOVERNMENT) databases and shit, and they'll DEFFINANTLY KNOW ABOUT IT.

Or I could make her a werewolf and she could live in the woods or some shit but how would you communicate?

Before you go, you have a brilliant idea. You take your gold star and fashion it into two rings. You give one to each woman.
