A Magical Accident

Krigar nodded and waved him on. “I.. we went over that part. I meant these.” Yuli held his arms so the spikes were showing. “Did I always have these?”

As Alek went out to the parking lot and pulled the car around the back, Caligo tried to help Yuli understand what had been going on in his life. “Oh, sorry. No, you didn’t always have those. When I first met you, you looked pretty much the same way you do now but less demonic.” Realizing that may not mean anything to Yuli, he clarified, “You didn’t have the spikes, your eyes didn’t glow, that sort of thing. You were possessed by a demon, kind of, but you weren’t one yourself. You eventually decided to become a demon when you were in a dangerous situation and probably would have died otherwise. When you became a demon, those showed up.”

[pro-genitor]

“So I was.. Food?”

[askalek]

“If you mean you were human, yes,” Caligo said, somewhat hesitantly. “If you mean the dangerous situation was that they were going to eat you, I don’t think that was it. It was people trying to get to the demon possessing you, I think. And if you mean about being possessed, no. The demon wanted you to find souls for him but he wasn’t feeding off of you.”

[pro-genitor]

“I.. m-meant human.. How could it be in me but not me?” Yuli tilted his head a little.

[askalek]

“Some demons can basically have their soul…stay in your body?” he said, sounding somewhat unsure himself. “I’ve never possessed someone or been possessed so I’m not really sure about the specifics. You were both inhabiting your body. You were still on control, though, he just told you to kill specific people to eat, or at least that’s what I know of.”

[pro-genitor]

“Oh.. That seems.. not normal..?”

[askalek]

“Not normal compared to what?” Calif asked, unsure if Yuli meant this seemed strange for demons, humans, or just in general.

Outside, Alek had pulled the car around and was headed back into he building.

“Mmh.” Yuli gave a nod.

[Considering the time of day,  the only action are grunts like us and rare walk of shames.  Do you think he needs an escort? ]

Alek hesitated, but pulled back for a moment and kissed Yuli’s forehead before hugging him again. “I’m sorry this happened. I know you don’t remember me, but I love you and we’re going to figure out how to get your memories back.”

[Maybe not. Does it look like many of them are humans? Or is there a clear way out from here to the parking lot?]

[pro-genitor]

“A-alright Alek.. I hope this works out for you..”

[Silly, I’m the only human around here. What if he closed his eyes?]

[askalek]

“Um, thanks. Sorry if that was… a little much,” he said, feeling a little embarrassed and pulling away from the hug. Looking over to Caligo, he asked, “Did you guys have a plan?”

[Hey there could be another human around for some reason. And, I’m not sure. I feel souls a bit, don’t really go based off sight. We can probably keep him from attacking anyone?]

Caligo looked up from the text when he heard the question from Alek. “Figuring one out. I think you and me might just walk Yuli out to the car if you think you’re able to help if something unexpected happens.” Looking at Yuli, he asked, “How are you feeling?”

[pro-genitor]

“I… I think I’m hungry.. Can we eat not-people?”

[askalek]

“By not-people do you mean like you want to get just…regular food?” Caligo asked, making sure he understood. “We have kitchens downstairs but if you want to do that, I think we should get you out to the car then have one of us bring it to you. Or you could eat at home.”

[pro-genitor]

His eyes grew a bit bigger, he was expecting them to know what he meant, because he didn’t.  “I guess? At home works..”

[askalek]

“Uh, I guess I wanted to make sure by not-people you didn’t mean non-human as in wanting to eat like, demons or something else that still had souls. We can definitely get you a cheeseburger or whatever,” Caligo said, then paused and realized he was unsure whether Yuli knew what a cheeseburger was. He decided not to try to explain even if he didn’t, as listing the ingredients would presumably have the same problem.

“But alright, I’ll let Krigar know we’re going to walk you out to the car in a second.” Looking to Alek, he asked, “Did you park close?”

Alek nodded. “Yep. Or, I’m out front. If there’s a closer place I could go there?”

“Maybe go pull around back next to where the van that we were loading stuff into is parked.”

Alek looked over to Yuli. “Will you be fine here if I go get the car?”

[pro-genitor]

Yuli glances around and nods a little. “Y-yeah. I won’t touch anything..”

[askalek]

“Okay, be right back,” he promised, then briefly hugged Yuli again before heading out the door.

Once he got out of the room, he leaned back against it and looked over at Krigar. “You hear anything from River about how to get Yuli’s memories back?”

While Alek left, Caligo waited in the room with Yuli. “Did you have any specific questions I might be able to help with?” He was sort of scared to ask, worried that he would just confuse Yuli more, but he felt like he should at least try.

[pro-genitor]

“Nothing,  he’s being pretty hush about it.  I might go beat it out of him later because.. Yuli needs to be back.”

Yuli shifted a little on his feet and sort of hugged himself. “I don’t.. I don’t know. How did I get like this?”

[askalek]

Despite the situation, Alek smiled a bit at the mental image of Krigar storming into River’s room and beating him up. “Thanks, and let me know if you need backup. I need to go grab the car though so I’ll be right back,” he said, starting to head towards the exit as he finished speaking.

Caligo felt bad seeing Yuli look so obviously uncomfortable, but he didn’t think offering to hug him would go over as well as it had with Alek. “We were moving magic artifacts out to a truck. I had assumed our boss would’ve told us if anything was dangerous, but apparently not. You touched something and when we came back you didn’t know anything about us or yourself.”

Yuli doesn’t notice Caligo’s protective stance, instead he peeked around the other demon at the vampire. “Woahhh bright hair.. Uh, this one said you were my uh.. fiance. But.. I don’t know anyone.. I don’t know me..”

“Bright hair is a vampire thing…somehow,” he said, slightly amused by Yuli’s comment. “I don’t get it either. But yeah, we’re engaged. It’s okay though, they said you didn’t remember anything. I’m just hoping you’re not feeling tempted to eat me?”

Caligo had to admit he was also slightly amused that Yuli’s initial comment was on Alek’s hair. It seemed to be going better than meeting Krigar had, at least. He still was going to stick around though, both to watch out for Alek and to be able to answer demon-related questions if needed.

[pro-genitor]

“Yeah.  I mean no,  I don’t.. feel that… I’m not sure why I only did that with her.  Should i.. feed or something or is it not time for that? ”

[askalek]

“Maybe you just weren’t used to the feeling. And like I said, vampire, so my soul is weird apparently.” At the second question, he looked to Caligo. “Uhh, I think you went hunting a few days ago when I was at work?”

Caligo nodded in response, having moved back a little so he was no longer standing between the two of them.

“You might need to hunt again in a couple days, or sooner if you don’t feel like you have as good of control as usual,” Alek added, looking back to Yuli. He still wasn’t overly fond of the fact Yuli had to hunt in the first place, but he had gotten mostly used to it over time, and he really didn’t want Yuli attacking random people, or Krigar.

[pro-genitor]

Yuli frowned. “I dont.. know if I have any control.. I.. I probably shouldn’t even leave. I might hurt someone.” He looked to Alek and for a split second he seemed afraid of that idea, staying in one place and not leaving, for Yuli Jarvi was not overly fond of being locked up in the slightest. It was a residual fear however, and the look passed.

[askalek]

Alek noticed the brief look of fear, and he stepped closer to Yuli, wanting to hug him. He stopped before he got close enough to do so, though, unsure if Yuli was comfortable with that, given that he didn’t remember Alek. “Well, most of the people here aren’t human, so we might be able to get you back home? We’d probably want to ask a couple of the security guards to be nearby, though. We’ll figure something out,” he said, trying to be reassuring. “…Do you want a hug, or would that be uncomfortable since you don’t really know me?”

[pro-genitor]

“I’m not sure?.. You can try it..” He shrugged a little, he had no opinion about it.

[askalek]

The response was not extremely promising, and the indifference was also off putting. Still, he had asked, so Alek approached Yuli and gently hugged him, then waited to see if he would respond.

[pro-genitor]

At first Yuli just put an arm around the vampire, because it would be weird to just stand there. But fairly quickly his other arm moved around him as well. “You… fit.”

[askalek]

Alek couldn’t help but pull Yuli closer to him when he made that comment, surprised but happy to hear Yuli still seemed to feel something about him even if he couldn’t remember. “Thank you,” he said, not sure if that would make sense but extremely grateful for this little bit of a good sign.

Caligo, feeling slightly awkward about this moment, checked his phone to see if he had gotten a response. Unfortunately, he hadn’t. Instead, he sent a text to Krigar, asking if she could see how busy the building was and whether or not she could get the guards to escort Yuli out to a car, so they could get home.

“You might need to hunt again in a couple days, or sooner if you don’t feel like you have as good of control as usual,” Alek added, looking back to Yuli. He still wasn’t overly fond of the fact Yuli had to hunt in the first place, but he had gotten mostly used to it over time, and he really didn’t want Yuli attacking random people, or Krigar.

A Magical Accident

Yuli doesn’t notice Caligo’s protective stance, instead he peeked around the other demon at the vampire. “Woahhh bright hair.. Uh, this one said you were my uh.. fiance. But.. I don’t know anyone.. I don’t know me..”

“Bright hair is a vampire thing...somehow,” he said, slightly amused by Yuli’s comment. “I don’t get it either. But yeah, we’re engaged. It’s okay though, they said you didn’t remember anything. I’m just hoping you’re not feeling tempted to eat me?”

Caligo had to admit he was also slightly amused that Yuli’s initial comment was on Alek’s hair. It seemed to be going better than meeting Krigar had, at least. He still was going to stick around though, both to watch out for Alek and to be able to answer demon-related questions if needed.

Yuli watched as Krigar faded from view, before turning his attention to Caligo. “.. No. Why would I?”

“Well, you know how to talk and walk and stuff, so I assume you have some concepts still?” He paused a moment, trying to think of how to go about this explanation. “Do you know what a human is? And a soul?”

[pro-genitor]

Yuli shook his head. “No! I.. I… Is that why I want to eat her? You said demons eat souls, humans have them don’t they? We eat them, so she’s food?.. And you let her leave, why??”

[askalek]

Caligo hesitated to answer, realizing he was not explaining this very well. “No, no that’s not really…correct. Okay, so you used to be a human. Most people are human. Humans have souls, and demons…kind of do too? But corrupt ones. You can technically eat demon souls too, though, so humans as a category aren’t really “food” except insofar as you are also food.”

Caligo had no idea if he was making things better or worse, and kind of wished Krigar could have stayed, or that Alek was here. “Anyway, yeah you can eat humans, but they’re people just like you are. I usually try to avoid eating souls as much as I can, and when I do I go out with you and Krigar and find, like, bad people who I feel less bad about killing.” That wasn’t really ideal either, but there wasn’t a great solution to this problem. Realizing he might want to be more specific about Krigar in particular, he added, “Krigar is my girlfriend and a friend of yours, so you cannot eat her.”

At around this time, Alek pulled into the Black Rose and headed into the building. Realizing he wasn’t sure where they were, he headed over to the bar to find someone who could tell him where they might be, and was directed upstairs.

Seeing Krigar outside one of the rooms, he quickly walked over that way. “Hey! Is everything alright?”

[pro-genitor]

“So I’m.. a dirty human.. Who also eats.. other dirty humans? Bad? Are they rotten? How are they different from me, the ones that I eat? I.. will.. Uh.. attempts will be made to not eat her, that’s all I can say..” Yuli frowned and rubbed his (own) head a little. And in doing so saw his spikes and quickly tried to throw his arm away. “Oh god!”

“Alek!” Krigar pushed off the wall she’d been leaning against. “Well.. ‘Alright’ is a word.. He’s not hurt but he doesn’t know.. us. We were moving some relics and he must’ve brushed one.. His demon wanted to eat me, but you might be safe..”

[askalek]

“Not quite…” He looked around the room, hoping for some inspiration, or at least time to gather his thoughts. In that time, Yuli startled himself with his own arm, and Caligo had to try not to laugh. “Yeah, so um, your soul is kind of basically a corrupted human soul, but being a demon also changes things about you. You heal faster, generally, and you don’t age. Also sometimes you get weird stuff like arm spikes or,” he paused and let the illusion covering himself fade out for a moment, showing the grey skin and short horns, “this.”

“But yeah, attempting not to eat her is good but I may advise her to just not be in the same room with you for a bit then.”

Alek frowned at Krigar’s explanation. “Well… I’m glad he’s not hurt. I’m sorry he wanted to eat you?” he said, sounding slightly unsure just because he was not expecting to have to apologize to Krigar about Yuli wanting to eat her. “I guess I can at least try, but I don’t know how helpful I’m going to be…” The thought that Yuli seemed that far gone, and that he wouldn’t recognize Alek at all, hurt a bit, but hopefully they would solve this soon.

Giving Krigar a small smile, he walked over and knocked on the door. “Can I come in?”

[pro-genitor]

His eyes widen with the knock and Yuli sort of moved himself behind Caligo but totally isn’t trying to make it obvious that he’d done so.

Krigar touched his back lightly, “It should be fine..”

[askalek]

Caligo’s eyes shot to the door when he heard the knock, and also moved somewhat between Yuli and the door, worried that Yuli would try to attack whoever entered. He then processed the question, and realized who the voice belonged to.

He wasn’t entirely sure if Yuli would feel an urge to eat Alek’s soul. He was, however, fairly sure Alek would not listen if told not to see Yuli, and Yuli didn’t seem like he was about to suddenly attack anyone. With this reasoning in mind, he answered, “Probably? Maybe stay near the door though.”

Alek exhaled somewhat nervously, then opened the door and quickly came in, shutting the door behind him so Yuli wouldn’t feel tempted to go after Krigar. “Hi, Yuli, I’m Alek. I don’t know if anyone told you who I am?”
