First Curse; Video

[Ritsu has finally gotten the hang of this device, and the nerve to speak up.]

I'm sorry for being so terribly rude and not introducing myself further. There seems to have been a mistaken, and I was brought here, to.... well... I suppose everyone knows by now, but I was wondering if there was a way to let the gods know they picked the wrong Ritsu, or the wrong Sohma, or the wrong Ritsu Sohma.

I'm sorry for bothering you all with my question, but I figure the sooner I am gone, the less of a burden I'll be on you all.

[He nods, but then there's a bit of a strain - he's trying to tilt his head, since he can't really ask "Are you okay?" with his mouth, he has to make due with what little body motion he is allowed.]

[The second motion gets a raised eyebrow, but no other comment. She's not going to tell him much right now about how close she'd been to losing control. She looks slightly less green at the least.]

You were brought here, to another world, by a group of nine creatures called Asgardians. Every house has the name of one of them. Sigyn chose you, probably because of the sorts of sympathetic looks you're trying to give me right now. It suits the Sigyn types I've seen before.

You're not in hell, and you're not being punished for some sin. You're here because you're an emotional ball of loudness that will interact with other people very easily. And, I have a bad feeling you and I are going to end up talking more, just because of your apologetic nature.

First. Do you understand what I've said? Second, would you say you're probably going to end up wanting to 'help' me again and apologize for what you think you've done wrong today again in the future, regardless of what I say or warn you of?

[There's a bit of a pause as he allows all this information to sink in.

For the first question, there's a nod.

He allows a pause, and then nods again, meaning the second question. He can't help himself, honestly.]

Yeah... that's about what I thought you'd answer to that question. We need to set some ground rules so that you understand what you're dealing with. I'm not taking the gag off until I'm done and you understand. Your screaming only makes this harder to explain.

I'm half demon, which means I'm a creature born of sin and vice. Demons live pretty much all their lives to perform sinful, depraved acts, but they completely control their natures, just like people mostly do. They do whatever they want, however they want. Half-demons? We're bastard stepchildren, and there's usually something really wrong with us, physically or mentally.

I got mental.

If I get too turned on at the wrong time, or just every once in a long time, I lose control. Think of it like a werewolf, only I turn into a depraved, psychotic, murderous witch with all the worst habits of a succubus.

Does that make sense so far? If not, I'll untie you just long enough to let you ask a question and then in the gag goes again.

[... Okay so his fear returned a bit. He swallows hard, but, still, for a depraved, psychotic, murderous witch, she's still treating him nicer than some of his family members do on a daily basis. So while he is afraid, it's not as bad as before.

He nods again.]

Good. To avoid problems, Ritsu, here's the rules. You're not allowed to flirt with me, or try to get me romantically interested. I'm finding this to be less of a problem here than at home, but maybe that's because they toned down some of the things about me.

[The pheromones were there as she leaned forward to look at him carefully, underneath the faint hint of sulfur. They could tantalize ever so slightly if one was susceptible to that sort of thing. After all, it made a predator's hunting easier.]

If I start flirting with you, or if I look really friendly and ... playful without being rough around the edges, get away from me. Don't ask questions unless I'm really really drunk. Just be somewhere else. I'd prefer not to have hurt you in the middle of a fit.

Do you think that you can do that?

[No problem there! He has absolutely no intentions of being romantic with anyone. Ever. ~~Save for Shigure's hot assistant but that's a whole other problem.~~ So, again, there's nodding, with some relaxations. As if a guy like him would ever be worthy of a woman's touch! Perish the thought!]

[If only he realized that, despite her bluster and self-loathing, despite her anti-romantic attitude, she was just slightly attracted to almost anyone. If only he knew he was on that list. Maybe he'd be a little afraid.

She leaned forward, undoing the bindings on the gag and pulling it from his mouth.]

Do you have questions, Ritsu? I would almost insist that you ask them right now.

[Nope, no questions. He is surprisingly compliant and understandable about this whole range of affairs. He just smiles kindly and shakes his head.]

[She nodded and moved behind him, untying and removing the last of her bonds. She sighed a little.]

I'm sorry for doing that, Ritsu. You were interrupting too much, and I really don't think I'd ever have gotten that clear to you.

[You had to see this answer coming.]

It was my own fault for being so hysterical, I'm very sorry.

[The look on her face said she did. She almost apologized, but she also recognized that doing that would create an infinite loop of apologies, one that would never truly close, because you did not out-apologize this person.]

Don't worry about it. We've got what we needed out of the way. So, you manage to figure out the basics while I was on my way over, or you still confused?

I believe so. But if I do ever get more questions in the future, I'll be sure to ask you, if it's not a bother.

You can ask whatever question you wish. I will not promise to answer, though if it is something that avoids further unpleasantness, I will probably do so.
