[herr_bookman]

Autor hungers.

He's sitting at the bar, rubbing his newly-acquired, spiral horns, and fluttering his wings. They're still itchy at the bases, where they sprouted from his back a few days ago.

There's a sandwich and soup combo in front of him, but he can't eat it. It's not the food he needs. The hunger is all-consuming, a pit in his stomach that drives him to distraction. But when he thinks on how an incubus is supposed to feed, he blushes from his chin to his roots.

Autor buries his face in his hands. How did the demon summoning ritual go so wrong?

[OOC: Autor is sixteen again, and a new incubus due to a magical mishap! Unfortunately for him, he's also a total prude.]

"What have you done, silly boy?" Katya's voice is soft as she traces feather-light fingers along the base of his wings.

[herr_bookman]

Autor jumps, squeaking. His long, red tail flicks back and forth on his stool, and he grabs it, shaking. "Katya!" he says, the name frantic on his lips. His words spill out of him. "Help! I tried to summon a demon because I thought it would help teach me how to--never mind, that's not important, but what is is that I did something wrong and ended up turning myself into one and now I'm starving and I don't know how to fix it!"

[katyafeline]

"Shhhh." She smiles, tugging on one of his horns. "Breathe, little one. You will solve nothing by hyperventilating."

[herr_bookman]

Autor is very close to hyperventilating. He tries to calm down, but keeps running his hands over the pointed tip of his tail. His wings flutter in agitation. "But I don't know what to do," he says, still trembling. "How do I fix this before I starve to death?"

[a_conversation]

Garnet eyes the...human? With wings? That's certainly odd. And the horns, too.

Well, there's one way to find out. "Are you human?"

[herr_bookman]

Autor jumps, squeaking, and grips his long, red tail at the point. He looks at the--woman? woman--lady and nods, trembling. "I am!" he says, his words frantic. "I tried to summon a demon and made a mistake and ended up turning into one!"

[a_conversation]

"Oh. So you've made yourself not human." That explains it, sort of.

The boy seems scared. "And you don't know how to change back."

[herr_bookman]

"Yes, exactly, and now I'm starving and I can't eat human food and I'm going to starve to death if I don't get this fixed and I have to fix it and I don't know what to do!" Autor says, squirming in place. He tries breathing through his nose, though his breathing is too ratcheted up to really be calm.

"If you go to the Infirmary, they might feed you intravenously."

A pause.

"I know someone who works there. Joly."

[herr_bookman]

"Feeding me intravenously probably wouldn't get me any nutrients either," Autor says, shaking his horned head. He bites his lower lip, and runs his hands over the point of his tail. "I was turned into a demon. I can't eat execept for... Um... Well, you know... Relations."

His blush explodes on his face. Needless to say, the color is spectacular.

[a_conversation]

It takes Garnet a moment to realize what he means. She doesn't do euphemisms much.

"Then you will have to find a consenting partner, or reverse your mistake."

She is sympathetic, even if it's not obvious.

"I'm sure there are people here who could help you with either of those things."

[herr_bookman]

"I can't find a consenting partner!" Autor says, his words close to a shriek. "I mean, I can, but I don't want to! I've never even kissed anyone! I don't know how to... Do anything like that!"

He adjusts his glasses, wings fluttering in agitation again. "I have to reverse this, yes. That's my only option. Do you know anything about demons?"

[a_conversation]

Garnet considers this. "No."

"There is a Library," she adds, feeling unhelpful.

[herr_bookman]

Autor brightens. "The library! Why didn't I think of that? I practically live in libraries."

He stands from his seat at the bar, looking happier and more energized. His wimgs flutter again, and his tail curls around his leg.

"Thank you. Before I go, what's your name?"

[a_conversation]

"I'm Garnet." She cocks her head at him, inquiringly.

[herr_bookman]

"Thank you, Garnet," Autor says, smiling. "I appreciate your help."

He bolts off towards the library, heedless if she follows.

[OOC: She can follow if you'd like to continue the thread! But if not, thank you! That was fun.]
