5 Months Ago
In a basement of a damp and unoccupied, run-down house in his neighborhood, the 17-year old Job drew a symbol, something halfway to being a pentagram honestly, onto the old stone floor of the basement with blood red chalk that glowed in the pale moonlight that seeped into the room from its only window. "Well. here goes nothing."
Job walked into the center of the pentagram symbol, and cried out... "Veni ad me cinerem divinum , donum pro te habeo"
Which is where the issue happened. You see, what Job said, roughly translates to "Come to me, Divine Ashes, I have a task for you". This is because Job doesn't speak Latin and misread the book. He wanted to say "Come to me, Divine Asp, I have a task for you", which according to the grimoire would have summoned Lucifer himself. However, there is no demon who directly correlates to "Divine Ash" so...well, the spell just grabbed a demon with a name that was the closest direct translation. So Divine Ash...
Summoned an 8 foot tall, multi-armed, effeminate Spider-thing that suddenly appeared directly in front of Job, nearly twice his height with two different colored eyes, Angel Dust stares down at Job. "...Look, kid, I get that this might be weird with a demon but if your expecting to get what folks usually want when they summon me, I got a blanket rule on not doing it for undera-"
"W-what? No thats...thats not what I was wanting at all the heck?" Job looked to the grimoire and back at angel, comparing him to the picture of the devil in the book. "...and I'm guessing you aren't Lucifier? I must of flubbed something"
"You were trying to summon the bigman? What the hell were you trying to do that for!?"
"...I wanted to make a deal to kill someone"
"...And for that you wanted the devil? That is literal overkill!" Angel seems...annoyed, by Job's original plan here. "I mean I could kill a dude if you wanted that!"
"...You can?"
"...I meant like, hypothetically kid."
"Its the...fastest way to reliably unsummon you Mr..."
"Angel Dust."
"...Your a demon. Named...Angel?"
"Shut up. You wanted someone dead right?" Angel suddenly pulled a tommygun from...seemingly nowhere.
"R-right, um. Alright, Demon, I am Job, and I have an offer for you. In exchange for the death of my asshat stepfather I am willing to give up my soul to you" Job held his hand out to shake and Angel, seemingly without much hesitation, does so.
"Aight, so...next house over right?" Job nodded and Angel left. The next day Job would be "informed" after he hung around a friends house for the night, that his father had been found shot to death on his front porch.
5 Months later on his 18th birthday Job was struck by a bus and died instantly. From his perspective, dying felt like falling. And falling. And Falling.
From Angel's perspective it looked like something appeared in a puff of smoke and then crashed into a vanity that he had in his room at the hotel. The spiderlike demon stared at the off-blue mouse thing...and immediately for reasons he didn't understand recognized it. "...Wait what the heaven Job?"
"...Ow..." Job sat up and...noticed the size of his surroundings...and then the changes to his own body, having become a off-blue, mouselike demon...
"Yeah, I know its weird at first" Angel's voice finally brought Job's attention to the now even bigger Spider-demon. "Waking up dead in a different body I mean. You'll get used to it." Angel immediatley picks up Job as the smaller demon keeps nervously sputtering in fear... "Though...technically, I own you now that I own your soul, don't I?"
Job nods...
"And...its been 5 months...you're 18 now, aren't you"
"...W-why do you ask"
"Just making sure I can enjoy my property in the way I plan too without breaking my own rules" The look on Angel's face made him anything but confident...
