She's mortal." a smile, "Well, at least as far as she knows. When she came to my attention, she was a skilled MMA fighter, and John has been coaching her." Jane winked, "In return for certain benefits."<br><br>The first impression when Sara walked into The Pit was uttered out loud by Carl, who was mopping the floors. "Fuck, she's big," the Were exclaimed, earning him dirty looks from Kazumi and Sarah. Sarah glared at Carl . "Too big for you, little man." she retorted. Kazumi stifled a laugh as he told Carl, <strong>"Sounds like she has your number."</strong> <br><br>The woman muttered, &nbsp;"I'm here to see Taryn. Jane sent me." &nbsp;Sarah was dressed more for practicality than fashion or to impress. She wore large army boots, fatigue pants with bizarre camouflage colors, and an XXXL UFC T-Shirt. Sarah's large breasts moved freely under the T-Shirt, as she could find Bras in her size, and her sports bra - custom-made for fighting - was too precious and tight for everyday wear.<br><br>Sarah settled into a chair across from Taryn. The woman was large enough that the chair was a bit undersized for her. However, it appeared to be a common occurrence for the woman. What was telling to Taryn was the way the woman sat in the chair, her weight a bit forward. She was a fighter, and not just in the ring.<br><br>Sarah settled into the chair and eyed Taryn speculatively. "Jane says she thinks you might be just what I need." &nbsp;The red-headed woman paused. &nbsp;"At the very least, I don't think you can make it any more fucked up." <br><br><br>Sarah launched into the story of her childhood. &nbsp;"Growing up, I was a normal kid in Minnesota. A bit of a tomboy but nothing special. It was when I hit puberty that things started to change. I grew hips and breasts like all the other girls, but I also kept growing; childhood friends didn't know what to think of me." &nbsp;Sarah grimaced, &nbsp;"A few kids called me a freak, at least before I beat the snot out of them." <br><br>&nbsp;"Then, I used Title IX to get on the men's wrestling team because the school didn't have a female wrestling team. Everybody laughed until I started winning matches. My social life sucked in high school cause nobody - male or female - wanted to date the freak." <br><br>Sarah looked at Taryn intently, "Then the other shoe dropped. I found out that I have a super rare genetic disorder - the common name is giantism. My body won't stop growing. Eventually, I'm going to get so big that I won't be able to move. So, I'm Fing dead woman walking." &nbsp;Sarah grimaced at her likely fate.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp;"I decided I'd live life to the fullest and enjoy it now cause my future sucks. Bouncer, Actor, Stunt Woman, MMA fighter; I've done it all. Then Jane recruited me to fight in The Fight Club. And Jane opened my eyes to the Supernatural - they're thing out the strong and freakier than me. I'm a good fighter until my illness gets to me." &nbsp;Sarah smiled, &nbsp;"Jane and John also taught me that what some people consider a freak, others consider quite attractive." <br><br>&nbsp;"Jane also told me you're a Fucking Demon." &nbsp;Sarah grinned, &nbsp;"In all sense of the phrase. So, tell me your best deal." <br>

				Taryn (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=344531.msg16258407#msg16258407)<br><br>(https://i.imgur.com/mUi1gNL.jpg)<br><br>Taryn could certainly guess what sorts of benefits John might have asked someone for. Maybe she might ask to join in as well sometime. She well knew that he wasn't opposed to sharing. In any case, she was sure to get to the club early on the next day, in order to meet Sarah. She had her come through the back, of course, but she hadn't expected just how enormous she would be. She was... impressive. Overwhelming, really. And looked like the kind of person who would be very fun to play with, given the opportunity. There was just so much of her and so much power... An irresistible mix of strength and sexuality. She wasn't surprised that John might have wanted a taste.<br><br>"Please forgive Carl," she said. "He's new. And he will be handled for his mistake." She'd hardly said it that one of her had taken the werewolf aside for a bit of a talk. "In any case, please, sit." She gestured to a chair. "I think you'll find that the facilities here are built to handle people of your... impressive physique. And more." <br><br>Once Sarah was seated, Taryn listened to her story intently, all the while looking at her carefully, reading her. Not her mind, of course, she didn't have that power, but... it came close sometimes. The way she moved, the way she talk, intonations, emphasis, it could reveal a lot from a person. A lot more than they intended. Though, of course, she was aware that she was being read in turn. Opening yourself up to others worked both ways, after all.<br><br>"You're right, of course. I am a fucking demon, in all of the ways that you might want to take it. And if you haven't been aware of your attractiveness, well, to me, it only means that you haven't been running in the right circles at all. Though that seems to have changed lately, too, yes?" She smiled knowingly. "And, of course, I might have some deals in mind, but first, I should tell you exactly what I will need you to do. And this, simply, is to willingly let yourself be possessed by demons. This will happen regularly and can be for short or extended periods of time. We can work out a schedule," she added dismissively, as if it was a minor detail. "More importantly, while you are possessed, the demon will be in full control of you. You will be fully aware, but unable to act or speak, even to the demon itself. And demons, well, humanity certainly has had some understanding of us. Some of us, at least. More so even those who would pay dearly to come to this realm and taste of its pleasures. You will almost certainly be asked to do things that many of your would consider to be immoral. Reprehensible, even. Though I can guarantee you this, that permanent harm will not be done to your body, your reputation or your legal standing. These things, I have resources enough to guarantee and you would certainly be a valuable enough asset that I would want to keep you for a long time."

It was... surprisingly simple. Keep her alive and she would do everything that was asked of her, hire her her as well and she would feel endebted. Thought here was still doubt in her, it seemed. <br><br>"You see this form?" Taryn asked at length, moving her hands over her own ample curves. "Delightful, isn't it? But this isn't how I've always looked. I know a man, a demon. He can make clothes that can change you to fit them. Of course, I wouldn't dream of altering such a fierce beauty. At least, not unless you insist. But I think we would be able to halt your growth to where it is now. At least, as long as you're under my employ, which is something I would insist on for as long as you keep wearing such clothes. And you would be fully under my employ, even when you aren't being possessed. Recent events have show that I could well use a good guard. An in exchange, you will be well paid, of course, in addition to being given access to the clothes. Even more so for the times when you're performing your possession services."

However, feel free to elicit more information from/about Jizaren and/or Sarah.<br><br><hr>The deal was struck, at least between Sarah and Taryn. Sarah was not what Jizaren was expecting - the first in a series of transient mortals selling their bodies for some tawdry benefit. Instead, Sarah was looking for a long-term deal. Jizaren should be happy. <br><br>Unlike Taryn, Jizaren was too powerful to manifest in the mortal realm fully. With Jizaren unable to manifest, Sarah and Taryn would need to visit Jizaren. In a demonic plane, Taryn could be captured and put back to work. Taryn and Sarah would need to meet with Jizaren in the Dreamscape, where the occupants could shape the landscape and themselves.<br><br>Sarah and Taryn found themselves in mockery of a Western Town. The backdrop was so cheesy it was meant to be more an imitation of a movie set than reality. Sarah was dressed like a cowboy, complete with Jeans and Chaps, cowboy boots, and, interestingly, a belt, holster, and six-shooter. The pair had manifested outside a beat-up wooden building with the title Marshal. There was even a little black board that said: "The Marshal is:" and the word "Available" scrawled in chalk. <br><br>Entering the building, Sarah and Taryn found Jizaren. The demon was dressed in western garb but had taken a demonic form, complete with red skin and a pair of Black curling Ram's Horns. Jizaren stood as Sarah and Taryn entered. "Ah, Taryn. So this is your applicant, the one Jane found for you. Come, sit, and let us talk over the situation.<br><br>Once the two women were seated, Jizaren looked intently at Sarah, "I'm sure you've heard all sorts of nasty rumors about us demons out to get your immortal soul, devious, untrustworthy." Jizaren laughed, "And there is some truth in all of that."&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>"So, let me help put things into context. One can dominate the other when one side is weak, and the other is strong. A strong Demon can possess a weak human, but a strong human can possess a weak demon. So there are stories of demonic possession and humans summoning and binding demons. In our case, that is not a possibility. Your strength of will makes you a poor candidate for possession."<br><br>"There are transactional arrangements. The human provides something the demon wants - say, a human sacrifice - and in return, the demon provides something the human wants - usually something tedious like wealth or magical knowledge. However, the most potent arrangements are when human and demon are in alignment when they have a mutually beneficial relationship."&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>"To move from the generalities into the specifics, Taryn has constructed a three-way bargain. She provides you with magical clothes that sustain your life and livelihood. You serve as my host when I need to visit the mortal realm, I give Taryn a too-be-determined payment. The strength and the weakness of this agreement are that should any of the three of us fail to live up to our bargain, the deal unravels."<br><br>Jizaren smiled at Sarah, exposing his demonic canines. "You should be clear that you are committed while Taryn and I are involved in this deal. Losing access to Taryn's magical clothes will mean your eventual death."<br><br>Jizaren looked at Taryn, "I have some information for you. Tazziuz &amp; Karimed have put aside the quarrels. They feel that as there are two Imps - Jane and yourself - it gives them one Imp each. So, they have plans to come for the two of you. As long as you care for my host, I will protect you. This will indirectly protect Jane." <br><br>Jizaren looked at Taryn appraisingly, "I'll leave it to Taryn to determine whether coming back to hell to serve Tazziuz &amp; Karimed is better or worse than death. However, I feel that Taryn will be motivated to ensure that you are taken care of."&nbsp;

				Taryn (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=344531.msg16258407#msg16258407)<br><br>The setting Jirazen had chosen was... quaint. Taryn could have tried changing it, of course, as could Sarah. They were in a shared dream, of sort, and so, they shared control, but she let Jorazen have his proclivities for now. IT was little cost enough for her. And, of course, she knew, too, that his true for was much different than the one he had graced them with. She wondered, briefly, if she should reveal it to Sarah. It was an amusing thought, at least. "Don't be mistaken," she told her newest employee. "He will try to corrupt you, as will any other demon I might choose to assign you to. It's in their nature. And, yes, in mine, too, though more subtly. Of of the prices I have to pay to be able to remain fully in the mortal realms. I trust that you will be strong enough to resist." She shrugged. "Or abandon yourself to it. I care little as long as you don't act in a way to shorten your use. A pre-corrupted vessel would certainly bring its own comforts to any potential hosts.<br><br>Taryn's usual confident smile froze a little on her face when Jizaren mentioned Tazziuz and Karimed. "I was... perfectly eager to enter this deal in exchange for your favour, and payment, of course, but... yes, a three-way hold it is. With all the strength of mine and and Sarah's survival in it. And so that we don't feel so... unbalanced by how little skin you, yourself, have in this game, I will put the word out. Openly, if you like, discretely, if I must, but it will be known, by all who truly matter. And should your break the bargain yourself, Jizaren, you will find it quite difficult, impossible, if I have my way, to find someone else to lend you bodies. You will have to wave farewell to all the delights I know you enjoy so well. And otherwise, I expect that you will accept the greater limitations. Sarah isn't as disposable as the other vessels I've provided you. You will not act in a way as to cause permanent physical harm or any troubles, legal and the like, beyond my reach or your ability to compensate me for. Just as you say, I am very motivated to ensure that Sarah is provided for." She looked to Sarah. "And as I promised, I will provide clothes at the first opportunity. I can arrange for you to meet with Ryan Swift directly, if you wish, or if you give me your preferences, I can acquire you something appropriate. In any case, I think it would be fair for you to consider yourself in my employment for... well, a very long time, to say the least."<br><br>Taryn looked back to Jirazen. "If all is agreed, then, I must still, also, find an appropriate ritual that will bind you to Sarah properly. The simple ones I've used so far have been too... inconsiderate to the host. I will need something more robust that will keep her safe, despite your presence."

I went and rolled a 4. So, I'm adding a couple of actions that Sarah and Taryn must take before coming back to try and convince Jizaren a second time. <br><br>Taryn Persuade - 4 &nbsp;(https://discord.com/channels/1007352388996300890/1009249001536770059/1033105169686200413)<br><br><hr><br>Jizaran looked from Sarah to Taryn and back speculatively. "I'm unconvinced. She is of strong will, both a benefit and a curse - a benefit in that I will be able to wield more of my power on the mortal plane and a curse in that she can defy me. Additionally, you are providing the clothes that will stop her growth. Ultimately, her loyalty will be to you and not to me." Jizaran paused, "Still, I am tempted. She is much better than many a human that I have possessed. So I present a challenge to both of you. First, Cloth her appropriately for a Demon prince in a mortal body. Second, Train her. She is skilled in unarmed combat, but I would see her skilled with weapons. When you have accomplished both, summon me, and I shall take her for a test drive. Should Sara and I reach an accommodation, You and I will have a deal as long as she is available to me."<br><br>Jizaran turned to Sarah, "Your days as a mortal are coming to an end. Should you walk away, you would soon perish. Already, Jane and Taryn have made you aware of the supernatural world. Things that would have ignored you will, for better or ill, provide your attention. Finally, agreeing to serve Taryn and I will make you demon tainted and so a target for those who hate and hunt demons."<br><br>Emotions swirled in Sarah. To have been promised a way to avoid a long-lingering decline and then have it snatched away. To see proven what Jane had described - the supernatural world. Finally, to have Jizaren judge her and be found wanting. Sara stood, her fists clenched. She longed to punch the stupid, arrogant demon in the face. However, he had challenged her, and she was never one to back down from a challenge. Sarah pointed a finger, and Jizaran, You'll find I'm not one to back down and not one to fail a challenge. I'll work hard and train hard. Perhaps, in the end, I'll decide you're not good enough for me."<br><br>Jizaren laughed and clapped his hands, "That's the spirit. Work hard, Train hard. Be a credit to your Imp. Perhaps when next we meet, I'll be the one looking for your services."<br><br>Jizaren pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and passed it to Taryn. "The mark on this paper is my mark. I will know their location if it is tattooed on a person's chest. However, I will be unable to possess their body without their consent. For now, use temporary ink to scribe the tattoo. When the time is right, I will appear, and with Sarah's permission show her the benefits and costs of being possessed by a demon.<br><br>For now, I will warn you both to tread carefully. Tazziuz and Karimed will not strike openly at you while you and I are negotiating. However, they will not hesitate to meddle covertly. Also, I have heard that many things are in play in Vegas. I don't know the details, but Vegas is about to become even more dangerous than normal. I've heard that an exile from the Unseilie court is trying to set up shop.

				(https://i.imgur.com/mUi1gNL.jpg)<br><br>"For now," Taryn repeated, taking the mark, though she certainly didn't agree with the implication that Sarah would have a permanent marking later. That would be, in her view, giving entirely too much power to Jizaran. And, yes, I think I know of some people who can train her as you want. Are you thinking traditional weapons, modern firearms or both? And.." she sighed. "Yes, you're right. It's inevitable, really, you will be working with demons and wearing demon-made clothes. Your association with us will be quite obvious, Sarah. Though, of course, I will be very invested in keeping you safe and ensuring that you last a long, long time."<br><br>"As for looking like a prince, well, look at her," Taryn said, gesturing to Sarah. "I doubt that she could be dressed to look like a prince. A princess, perhaps. A powerful princess of a warrior tribe. Maybe that would be a suitable host for such as Jizaran?" She let out a playful laugh. "Not to worry, the one I have in mind is a master in the art of fashion, I'm certain that he would be thrilled to be given such a grandiose order and will provide something quite suitable. Though, of course, it would be even better if you were to agree to be altered... subtly," she added to Sarah. "I won't force you on this one way or another, but I think that you'd find the results quite agreeable if you accept."<br><br>At Jizaran's warning, Taryn frowned. "From the Unseelie Court, you say? That, I hadn't heard of." Were they responsible for the recent troubles or was this yet another new player, Taryn wondered. "I'll keep your warnings in mind and will contact you again just as soon as all other arrangements have been met."

I'm thinking a post or two between Taryn, Sarah and Ryan about getting Sarah some more appropriate clothes.<br><br><hr><br>Sarah looked from Taryn to Jizaren and back again. "Well fuck you two. This situation feels like the first time my trainer took me to meet with a promoter, and the promoter told me I had potential but wasn't ready for a big fight."<br><br>Jizaren laughed, "It is and isn't. You are right; I remain unconvinced. You have potential but are not quite ready to be a worthy vessel of my will. In contrast, you were putting on entertainment for the masses, with little risk and moderate rewards. In contrast, service to Taryn and myself carry higher risks and rewards."<br><br>Sarah and Taryn found themselves back in Taryn's club.

				(https://i.imgur.com/mUi1gNL.jpg)<br><br>"Well, this went worse than I hoped, but better than I feared," Taryn said, once she got over the usual disorientation of being kicked back to reality. Some shopping, some training and you should be all good. Have you thought yet about what sort of thing you'd like to wear? You might not have as much of a choice as you might have wished for, but we can attempt to incorporate them, at the very least. Ryan is quite brilliant, as I'm certain he'll let you know. And then, of course, we'll meet with some of my acquaintances, for some proper training. Jizaren didn't specify, so I expect that you are to be trained all around." She rose and extended her hand. "Now, come. We have a busy day ahead of us. You, especially. You drive, I hope? I will contact Ryan on the way."

Some players love finding examples of clothing for characters. Let me know if you want to go into detail for Sarah or not.<br><br><hr> <br>For better or worse, Taryn knows Ryan and his sense of style. As a result, she took Sarah in the back door. Sure enough, Ryan shrieked at his first sight of Sarah, <strong>"Oh my god, whole clothed that gorgeous body in such hideous clothes."</strong> Ryan grabbed Sarah by the hand and drug her into one of the back dressing rooms. She ordered Sarah, <strong>"Strip. We're going to burn those hideous clothes. You've got such a beautiful body. I cannot let you leave her like that."</strong><br><br>Ryan snapped his fingers, <strong>"Food and drink. This is going to be a marathon. We'll get a full set of measurements and then craft at least enough emergency clothing to let her leave the store."</strong> <br><br>Quickly several of Ryan's staff scurried off, one to a Dim Sum restaurant to return with food, another wheeled out a rolling bar and a chair where Taryn could sit.<br><br>Ryan soon had Sarah stripped naked. However, this was not enough. He put the MMA fighter through her paces - walking, running, squatting, to the ground, and back up. He even had her go through various martial exercises. He even critiqued her posture. <strong>"No, don't slouch. You are a predator amongst the herd. Move with casual deliberation. You fear no one; you are looking for your next prey."</strong><br><br>Ryan poked and prodded Sarah and then turned to Taryn. <strong>"She's gorgeous. It would be a pity to hide this gorgeous musculature."</strong> Then Ryan's eyes lit up <strong>"I know just the thing. I've gotten some new fabric - they're woven Kevlar into synthetic leather. It's closer to heavy latex. It'll expose her musculature while protecting a fighter. Leather pants, boots, a blouse under a leather tunic or over a leather tunic, depending on the situation. Perhaps a skirt to make the pants appear like hose."</strong><br><br>Ryan asked Taryn, <strong>"What roles do you need her to play? Obviously, bouncer and staff at The Pit, are you going to take her out as eye candy? Does she need to double as close protection? High society dresses? Something for slumming in a biker bar.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</strong>

				(https://i.imgur.com/mUi1gNL.jpg)<br><br>Taryn couldn't help but laugh when Sarah was whisked away and taken over. She had know exactly what to expect, of course, she'd seen much the same with the employees she'd brought to him, as well as experienced it herself, of course. She took her seat and picked out some morsels as she watch with amusement. Seeing Ryan take the much larger woman through her paces was a joy to see. As was Sarah's nakedness, of course. Not everyone enjoyed a powerful woman, but it certainly was a sight the Taryn seemed fond of. And perhaps more than a sight, if she had her way. Though that could wait until later.<br><br>"She is quite delightful, is she not?" Taryn agreed with Ryan. "That will stay, of course. You can make some modifications, as you feel sensible, but she must remain big and strong, for aesthetic, as well as practical reasons. She is to be a bouncer for my club, you understand. My more private one. As well as an occasional host for at least one demon lord. Her clothes and she must be appropriate to the task. And also, one more, important thing. She has a condition that makes her endlessly grow. The clothes are to keep her from growing larger than she is now and keep her healthy at that size. All of this, is something that, I trust, you can provide? I certainly have confidence in your skill."

Both Taryn and Sarah owe Ryan a debt for the clothing.<br>2. Currently, Sarah has one set of non-magical clothing - Black combat boots, red tights, a skin-tight sleeveless tunic in black with a Red Phoenix on the front and back, and a red tank top/sports bra.<br><br><hr> <br>Ryan laughed, <strong>"Of course, you have confidence in my skill. Have I ever failed you? The clothes, pish. She will be a walking advertisement. Every celebrity that sees her will eventually show up at my door. The magic to keep her healthy. That is the trick. It will cost you. It will cost both of you - a favor to be named."</strong><br><br>Ryan turned to Sarah, <strong>"Now, motif and colors. Black and Red are so overused. However, you are truly a Black Swan. Once considered an ugly duckling until you found your place with the other Swans - aka Supernaturals."</strong> Ryan smiled, <strong>"And Red is the classic color of Demons. So Black and Red. Also, a Swan does not quite reflect your fiery nature. So, how about a Phoenix?"</strong><br><br>It took some time, but Sarah and Taryn eventually left. Sarah out-fitted in a new suit with instructions to come back tomorrow for suitable magical garb. Now it was time to track down the good doctor and get to work on repaying Jane.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

"And my custom, too, of course, for a long time to come. And I hope that this will satisfy, Sarah?" she added to her new asset, before they both left. "Now, I have certain things to take care of, a request from a dear friend I'm undertaking in exchange for her finding you for me. You, on the other hand, have another task." She gave her Frank's address. "This one will be your instructor in the art of modern weapons. Learn from him and learn well, as if your life depends on it, which it does." She caressed Sarah's bare arm. "As much as I adore you, it's not out of the kindness of my heart that I do this. Tomorrow, you will have your life and your health, but only for as long as you remain suitable to the task." She gave a small smile. "Frank is his name, he will take you in, I promise. And if there's any problem, have him call me."<br><br>Once Sarah was on her way, Taryn sent Frank a text. 'Hey, I'm sending a student your way. Sarah, she's called. You'll know her when you see her. I'd like you to teach her everything you can and everything she asks about fighting. Make it thorough. It's for a thing, you know how it is. So I'll consider it a favour if you do. And be sure to call me if there's anything you need!" <br><br>With that done, Dr. Temple was the next step. Thankfully, Taryn was owed a favour there, so it should be easy enough to persuade her to tilt things in Jane's favour. So Taryn went to her car and headed of towards where she believed the doctor to be currently working.<br>

Le Chez combined a high-end French Restaurant, a Bistro, and a Coffee shop. Rumor had it that Le Chez operated 24/7, taking care of personnel working night shifts.

When Taryn had first agreed to introduce her to the supernatural, she had suggested to begin with a more personal kind of introduction. It had been a game, really, a tease, mostly, she hadn't guessed that Shannon would take it so seriously. Or enthusiastically. "For that and for this food, of course. Sex is more than pleasant, of course, but even good sex is easy enough to come by in the demon realms. Good food, however, seems exclusive to yours." She made her order, a quite large one. Undoubtedly, she would have had the same problems with her waistline as Sarah had with her height if she hadn't taken to wearing Ryan's clothes so well. But business first, I'm afraid. You know Jane, I believe, of the Fight Club? If she hasn't come to you with a proposition yet, she will, soon. She wants some independence and you will give it to her. Call it... a favour for a good friend. One you owe a favour to, I believe? And one, of course, who would be very thankful. Guest suite thankful," she added with a lusty, inviting smile.

I'll support Jane as long as it's in my best interest."</strong><br><br><strong>"Now you need a bit of background; Jane's Master was the one who provided the Magical Ring that is the heart of Fight Club. Jane pulled the deal together, bringing together a board that would provide the Supernatural resources. There was a last-minute complication. Somehow, the arrival of Jane's Master leaked. There was a fight, several board members were killed, and Jane's Master was banished. This left Jane in a rather precarious position. Deals were made, and forming a board was more about protection than business. In the end, a rather unlikely group took over the Fight Club."</strong> Sannon laughed sarcastically, <strong>"In fact, one of the current board members likely had a hand in the untimely death of the others.

Shannon tapped her phone and was connected via her earpiece, <br><br><strong>"What the,... Explosion?

You should be safe, protected by the pacts of neutrality, though those same pacts mean I won't be able to do much more than that for you. You will be safe, but hardly hidden. Though I doubt that this will matter much in any case. There are cameras here, I imagine? I wouldn't expect someone like you to agree to meet with a demon otherwise. They will know you have met me and they know me. Even if I manage to make you disappear, It will hardly be difficult for them to guess where you are. And besides, you can hardly vote for Jane if you stay hidden, can you?" She extended a hand. "Would that be sufficient for you? If so, then my most secure room will be at your service, my dear."

The phone hadn't even had time to ring once. But already, she was hanging up and had taken the wheel. "Do buckle up safely?" she said.

I know well the sort of predilections some of my fellow demons have. And if you would wish to pursue such, well, I can always procure the other, lower quality hosts, can't I? As for a limousine, though, I unfortunately wasn't made aware of such special requests ahead of time and I don't have one on hand. Those of my clientele who wish for one generally bring their own, you see. But I do have a perfectly suitable vehicle. Come, I'll drive." She headed away, towards the employee entrance, confident that Jizaren would follow. The first stop, as requested, would be Ryan's. Sure, Sarah already had clothes which would keep her healthy and her growth in check, but another set wouldn't hurt. And She owed it to Ryan to have Jizaren spend his, or at that moment her, wealth there.

I know a buyer who will no longer need their vehicle."</strong> The face is Sarah, but the grin is pure Jizaren. <br><br>Jizaren climbed into the car's rear seat and gave Taryn the address of a low-end motel on the outskirts of Vegas. The Motel lived down to its name. The pool was a scummy puddle; any foliage in the grounds had long since died or been replaced with rocks and sand.&nbsp; <br><br>From the back seat, Jizaren told Taryn. <strong>"It'll only be a minute. Keep the motor running just in case."</strong> Jizzaren exited the car and paused long enough to take Sarah's shirt off and wrap it around her hips. This left Sarah's breasts in the micro-bra on display, along with the MMA's muscular chest and abs.<br><br>Jizaren affected a sway of their hips as they walked up the stairs to the second-floor balcony. Taryn's position was such that she could see Jizzaren approach a Room on the End of the Motel - Room 130. Jizzaren knocked on the door, subtly shifting Sarah's breasts so that they swayed. As the door was answered, Jizzaren announced, <strong>"Rodrigo sent me as an incentive. After you make the buy, I'm supposed to do whatever you want."</strong><br><br>The reply was choked off as Jizaren drove their fist into the first person's throat. Jizarn strode into the room. A few seconds later, there were a pair of muted gun shots. After a minute or so of silence, Jizaren exited the room with a large black duffle bag. The Demon in a human body slid back into the car.<strong>"That's right, one of your businesses is cleaning up messes. Well, I've left a large mess in Room 130. Rodrigo was not a trusting soul.

Taryn's car was a quality, luxury vehicle! Not something to be sniffed at. But Jizaren was a paying client. "As you like. But maybe you would have preferred one of my staff to accompany you? Some of my time is complimentary, but after that... well, I come very expensive indeed." Still, she drove to the given address and looked on appreciatively as Jizaren undressed. Sarah really sold herself short. Taryn wondered if maybe she should try to have some private time with her. Or Jizaren, for that matter. Of course, she'd had, by now, gotten private time with most of her employees. Not a recommended thing to do in most circumstances, but none of them ever seemed to complain.<br><br>Taryn waited in the car as Jizaren went about her business, pulling out her phone, with a sigh, when she heard the gun shots. The call was already done by the time she came back. "It will be on your tab, along with everything else," she said. "But I think it's appropriate to tell you that the contract binding you to keep your host harm-free includes not getting arrested or getting yourself a police record. So I would recommend maintaining at least some discretion?" Really, she was surprised that Sarah hadn't resisted that little fiasco more. She was making for a better host than Taryn thought. "But... yes, I know a place, I think. It's going to have to be underground, of course, especially if you're trading those in." With that said, she turned her car back on and drove off. She knew just where to go... or at least, believed she did.

Think of this night as an audition, not only for the host you have provided, but for yourself as well. Beyond, taking care of my host, I will need someone who can provide services when I am in the mortal realm. Your access to a clean-up crew is a plus to my evaluation. In terms of driving, yes you will need to acquire someone who can act as a chauffeur. There are many benefits to have a driver. Beyond the purely cosmetic implication of status, it protects against many problems from being waylaid on the way to or from your vehicle, to having you vehicle disabled, or worse yet fitted out with a bomb.”</strong><br><br>Jizaren tossed a couple of packages into the front seat. A quick glance showed that they were packets of hundred dollar bills. <strong>“This should compensate for the evening. Should I decide that you and your host are worthy of a long-term arrangement, we can open an account.”</strong> Jizaren slapped the duffle bag sitting on the seat beside them. <strong>“This should be a suitable start to the account.”</strong> Jizaren chuckled, <strong>“Of course, I’ll need to pay you a percentage to launder my money.”</strong><br><br>While there were a host of businesses and individuals that offered illicit weapons, Taryn was pretty sure that Jizaren was a cost-is-no-object type of Demon. So she went to Guns, Guns, and More Guns. It was reputed to be the largest gun store in Vegas, which was saying something. In fact, the volume of the store and the fact that it offered buying, consignment and pawn was merely a cover for weapons that moved back and forth between illicit and legal channels. In fact one of the lucrative side lines the store offered was a virtual chop shop, where barrels could be bought, sold and melted down, rendering ballistics a moot point. <br><br>Taryn pulled around to the back of the store. In Contrast to the large parking lot and brightly lit front, the back was dimly lit and grimy with no parking spaces. Taryn pulled up to a loading dock and got out with Jizaren following with the duffle bag. As the two approached a door, heard a voice announce <strong>“Room three.”</strong> and buzz of a door unlocking. Inside the door, was a brightly lit hallway with six doors, labeled 1-6. Additionally, there was a CCTV camera at the end of the hallway.&nbsp; <br><br>Room three was cinderblock with a linoleum floor. There was the ubiquitous camera and against the walls a long bench. Most interestingly, built into the far wall was a long metal drawer like the ones used in banks to pass money back and forth. However. The drawer was long enough for rifles.<br><br>Jizaren started the conversation. <strong>“I understand that you take donations of gently used firearms. I have a few that I would like to donate. Additionally, I require a CZ-75 compact package - gun extra magazines, cleaning kit, ammo. Additionally, I will require a pair of holsters - Inside the Waist and Shoulder. If you have it in stock, I’d prefer the pistol with a red dot sight. Finally, my companion and I have places to go and things to do tonight, we will be happy to pay for rapid delivery.”</strong><br><br><strong>“Ten minutes, five grand. the total cost includes a money laundering fee.

"If you want her for your use exclusively, you'll have to be quite... generous." She glanced at the bills that dropped onto the seat. "And that is a very good start indeed." She continued on to the shop she had in mind, slipping the bills out of sight before following Jizaren. This was not her preferred sort of place. She would much rather use weapons other than these ones. Loud, messy, impersonal. But some of her staff had different needs, so she did as she could. "Hey, there. No names, right?" she said, waving to the camera. "Don't worry about her, she's good for it." She let Jizaren conduct his business, then let out a laugh when he mentioned the lack of laws. "Oh, why do you think I do my business here in the first place?" she asked. "Though do be careful about breakign so many?" She sighed. "If I had known, I've made sure to get... you a proper license before.... well..." She shrugged. "Anything else you feel you need here?"
