Better Run Fast

Happy New Year! Allow Siruud to bring you into 2026 by demonstrating the difference between an archdemon and a bog standard demon by chasing you through the street like he's gunna kill you.

Bad Ritual is an interactive Twine-based romance wherein you, a corporate demon hunter, find yourself helplessly bound to an archdemon after your mysterious boss leaves you alone with a clearly unauthorized binding ritual. Who will you ally with: the archdemon, hell-bent on escaping the binding and disappearing forever, or the priestess Tahira, who would hunt him to the very ends of the earth?

The drabble is accessible on my Ko-fi page for $10 USD/month, which also offers a copy of my first game Manor Hill (when it's finished), continuous updates to MH, and two weeks of early access to updates. $5 USD/month offers a week of early access and a copy of Manor Hill (when it's done), continuous updates for MH, and for $1 USD a month you get a copy of MH (when it's finished) and continuous updates while it's being written.

Also my gratitude comes free with every tier, but I guess not really because you're paying for it, but boy am I ever grateful for that.

Hi <3 would you please submit this ask anonymously? But I was wondering, if Siruud hunts and is well-practiced at cooking, does that mean that demons have to eat to stay alive? Or is it unnecessary but more for comfort/enjoyment for them? Are there other things that demons need, like water, heat, etc.?

H'm good question !! A demon probably does have to sustain themselves food/drink wise, I think I don't want to magic away like, basic energy exchange functions, although it probably looks different overall considering that they work different bodyodyodyodyody wise.

I think one of the core quirkier things that demons need to sustain overall is probably like, their physical forms? Like they're rock they could gargoyle in a bad spill and then where would they be. They probably also like, accumulate dirt differently.

It's not something you usually experience, no, but you suspect the feeling of being cornered by something not wholly human—not at all human, technically—isn't one that the noble short person really deals with when they ask you to help them reach the high-shelf kibble bags at grocery stores."

Starting any competition between Siruud and Tahira is really asking for a war and getting annihilation.

Hair: Tahira

Long, brown/black, and pulled put of her face. She cannot have a hairstyle she cannot party and/or throw down in. It's just impractical for her lifestyle.

Hair: Siruud

Very long, very glossy black, kept out of his face through virtue of having horns on his hairline so he sometimes just doesn't do anything with it at all but let it hang.

Personal Sense of Style/Decor: Tahira

Unornamental but bougie, you know? She is working hard to look good but she's also not a fan of ruffles and ribbons and long, hanging sleeves. They just get in her way and she's never been a chill sort of person so she always wants full range of movement. That isn't to say she isn't capable of getting silly with it, but the most important thing is full range of motion.
