Up Where They Walk (Mo' and Others!)

[Asmodai]

“An angel?” Asmodai blinked her eyes a few times at the idea, feigning innocence as though the very idea touched her. It quickly dissolved into a chortling laugh. “No, I’m not an angel. I’m a princess.” The demon corrected Sinsae without actually answering the question. Asmodai could only assume that if Sinsae knew what angels were then she would also know that demons were quite the opposite of them. She didn’t want to frighten her off before she had her fun so for now ’princess’ was as good a title as any. Besides, it wasn’t exactly a lie now was it?

Asmodai took Sin’s hand and led her to the doorway, guiding her to look out into the club and at the many dancing people. Each writhing body held possibilities in their assorted fashion and vices. “Every night they come to partake in this place that I give to them. And I will share it with you too. So lets find you some sparkle. And then perhaps a dance?” Asmodai put her arm around Sin’s shoulder and smiled wildly at her. “I would very much like to dance with you. I’ll even teach you how so that you can come and dance any time you like.” Asmodai had Sin’s number now. She could tell that the girl wanted nice things, and that she wanted freedom. Not that Mo could blame her- they were some of her favorite things too. Before long Mo was sure she’d also have Sin riddled with lust for adventure. Any trouble that came from that was Sinsae’s problem.

For now though Mo focused on the most immediate aspect of her plan. She motioned to the crowd. “So do you see something that catches your eye?” Hades always had an assorted lot, leaving Sinsae with a variety of options which might strike her fancy.

[Sinsae Niniane]

"Princess." Sinsae said with much resolve. To her, who have never met an angel she knew about, a princess was better. She held Asmodai's soft hands as they walked through the demon's lusty playground. Her eyes were wide, watching and curious, as Asmodai spoke. It would raise an interesting question in many minds, to see such an innocent girl in the company of such sin. What really is good and bad to someone who has not been taught the things to stay away from? As a mermaid, sheltered and alone in their underwater world, what denizens of creation would they place their wicked deeds upon to be judged?

Sinsae knew nothing of this world, but being shown the dark and jeweled palace of the Princess of Hell was not a way to make the ocean creature hate all that it stood for. Sinsae assumed that this place was something to strive for. Everyone seemed so pleased and Sinsae loved to smile and be happy. Isn't that the same thing?

She watched the dancing with a soft smile. Their movements seemed vaguely familiar of her own underwater swimming. Sinsae quietly followed behind the beautiful woman, thankful that the floor was cool to the touch of her freshly turned feet. Her skin itched all over in uncomfortable spots and the temperature change from sole to stone was refreshing. The feeling was getting progressively worse, but the fabled mutant couldn't find it in her spirit to stop Asmodai's tour.

As the question was directed her way, Sinsae lit up like a festively decorated evergreen tree. She looked among the crowd and spotted a necklace on some lovely woman's neck. The stones glittered like eyes in the darkness, the faint glimmer of gold surrounded clear violet stones in the dance floor lights. "That. I like that."

[Asmodai]

Asmodai’s smile dialed up to a full blown grin as she watched the wonder in Sinsae’s eyes. Moments like this made temptation all that much sweeter. “Then you shall have exactly that.” Mo purred, giving Sin’s shoulder a little squeeze as though to suggest that she should stay and watch. Her long legs sauntered in the woman’s direction in a straight line, her thigh high boots catching the shifting lights in their slick reflective surface. Between the boots, Mo’s stride, and the leopard print undergarments she looked like she was on the prowl.

“Excuse me.” Asmodai said to the stranger before stepping up to meet her eyes. She bat her thick black lashes a few times and stepped in close so that her mouth was pressed to the jeweled woman’s ear, cheek to cheek. She rested one hand on the small of the woman’s back and the other rested on the back of her neck. The touch was gentle and made the woman blush. “I’m going to be needing your necklace.” Asmodai said evenly, unhooking the clasp. Before the woman could protest Asmodai’s lips were pressed to her’s in the same smooth motion that she removed the necklace. She pulled away, her dark eyes brimmed in black and bearing into the woman’s soul. The response was a silent, gaping expression.

Satisfied, Asmodai made her way back to Sinsae. She held up the necklace to show it to Sin with an expression befitting the cat who ate the canary. “Yes, I think this is much better, don’t you?” She moved to put the necklace around Sin’s neck.

[Sinsae Niniane]

Sinsae watched Asmodai's swaying hips and confident spine with a twinge of jealousy. She only wished that she could be so confident. She watched with wide eyes as her newest friend placed her lips to the woman's lips in a passionate kiss. She had seen kissing before. Her people saved such touching for only the most serious of relationships. They were not particularly fond of a mermaid who could not sing their siren song and therefore did not show her much affection. Her heart clenched with want.

Her eyes were the richest of chocolate colors as Asmodai held her prize high and placed it around the little mermaid's neck. Sinsae reached up to touch the glittering jewels about the column of her throat with a pensive look. "This, is mine? All mine?" Her voice was soft and still, unbelieving. Sinsae held her suit jacket tighter to her small form. It's fine blended material slid across her caramel anatomy with such a silken feeling that it gave Sinsae a bevy of chills to her toes.

Sinsae grinned, eyes bright again. She peered over the crowd with no thought of cause and effect. She didn't stop to consider that all these gifts would come to a steep price. She was young, impressionable and deeply under Asmodai's spell of seduction. Sinsae's personal brand of seduction wasn't in the form of skin and flesh, she was hungry for knowledge and shiny things. Magpie of the ocean.

She smiled softly to Asmodai and threw her arms up and over the woman's shoulders. Her thin elbows wrapped around the demon's throat as she giggled happily and gave Asmodai the very first hug she had ever given. She bounced up and down on her toes, too full of sudden and likable energy. "I love it! I do! I love it, Princess!"

Her hair gave it's musical tones as beads clinked and ruffled. "I can have another? Yes? Can I, Princess?"

[Asmodai]

Asmodai laughed in a girlish and jovial way as Sinsae beamed in excitement. She did so like to see her playthings enjoying themselves… or at least she was in the mood for that at the moment. Should the tide of her favor turn, Sinsae would have a very different situation on her hands. However, for now she was as safe as one could be in the presence of the Princess of Lust. As Sinsae wrapped her arms around Asmodia, she returned the affection in as innocent a way she could manage. That is to say not terribly. She held Sinsae for long moment, her bare caramel skin delightfully warm and soft to the touch and her plentiful breasts pressed against Sinsae’s frame. Her fingers slid along Sinsae’s spine, trailing the line of her back affectionately.

“Another? Why of course you can.” She purred at Sinsae’s request. This was going swimmingly, if you could pardon the pun. Asmodai knew that one desire lead to another quite naturally... it was all a matter of time and the proper... inspiration. It would take time, but Asmodai enjoyed a long game on occasion. She was a big picture sort of woman. She tucked a strand of hair behind Sinsae’s ear and then leaned in close to her, whispering in a breathy way that befitted being between the sheets. “You may have anything in my house that brings you pleasure, my pet. Just name it.” Asmodai’s tongue flicked lightly against her earlobe, a purr resonating in the back of her throat. “Perhaps some earrings to go with your newest treasure?”

[Sinsae Niniane]

Sinsae's cheeks flushed delicately. The simple act of having Asmodai's arms around her had been intimate. Her enjoyment was cut short as the taste of sea water flooded her mouth. She blinked quickly, stepping back with a scared look. The itching of her limbs had been going on for some time, building in it's pain. She looked down to her toes, shocked to find them slowly knitting back together. Her legs wobbled, more from fear than anything less and she fell to her bottom.

Tears lined her eyes as she reached up to touch her throat. "I need a drink." She managed to croak out, but the strength of her voice was waning. "I-i would like a drink."

Sin was shaken to her core. Her head seemed to spin. No, this couldn't be happening now! She wasn't done exploring! Her eyes grew dark, changing from their deep brown into navy blue of her aquatic form. It seemed like the outside edges of her form grew cold and her scales started to rise like goose bumps. Sin looked to Asmodai with alarm and opened her mouth to speak.

"Need. Water. Sanct-..."

[Asmodai]

Asmodai was about to ask what kind of drink Sinsae meant when she noticed the change. Something was happening, and it was only the beginning. Sinsae’s sweet brown eyes became blue and her skin began to show signs of scales. Asmodai had no doubt that the girl’s proper form was emerging. This was a double sided coin.

On one hand, Asmodai was curious to see what the girl looked like without such a human guise. On the other, she did not exactly have the facilities to comfortably house a mermaid. But perhaps something else could be arranged for the time being? How much water exactly was required to house her? Salt water? Fresh? Asmodia had never so much as cared for a goldfish, never mind a mermaid.

Sanctuary. That was the last word the girl had been trying to say, she was sure of it. Of course that was where she’d come from. But did they even know she was missing? Asmodai found it laughable that they would ever willingly allowed her to wander into her web. In order to maintain her plan, however, Asmodai would have to maintain her guise of a helpful friend. She stroked Sinsae’s hair affectionately. “Not to worry, we’ll take care of it. Now.” She placed her fingers on Sinsae’s forehead, gently, her dark eyes brimming in blackness. “Show me what you need and I will get it for you. Please be as specific as you can.”

Asmodai was calm in a way that was infectious. Even if Sin was worried, the gentle touch and mild breach into her mind would prove distraction enough to get the message across. Or at least, that was what Asmodai hoped. As she touched Sinsae she gathered the girl up in her arms with surprising strength, easily carrying her to one of the back rooms and setting her inside of a large tub before turning the water on for her. The actions left Asmodai looking like a concerned and gracious princess. In truth she was simply playing along to keep the girl’s trust. She had so willingly come to her, after all. What a blow it would be to those at the Sanctuary should a day come that the mermaid preferred the demon’s waters to their own.
