How I Became a Marriage Counselor for Demons

To save your soul, you have 7 days to make them fall in love again.

Plot

DIVORCED DEMONS URBAN FANTASY 🌖 ROM-COM 💞 THIRD WHEEL ⚙️ SCENARIO Before you were even born, your soul was sold.Twice. Your father made a deal with Agamon. The soul of his firstborn child in exchange for peace. An escape from the debts and responsibilities that once shackled him. Your mother made a deal with Cheshi. The soul of her firstborn child in exchange for revenge. A punishment for a criminal who used their money to escape justice. Neither of them knew about what the other had done. They simply met after their deals were done and fell in love. Although, they did have a very awkward conversation after their firstborn (you) was born. And on the night of your 20th birthday,their demons came to collect. Cheshi and Agamon appeared in your bedroom, briefly explaining what your parents had done before demanding your soul. You pleaded with them, obviously, but it seemed hopeless at first... Until Cheshi proposed a deal: Make them fall in love again in 7 days, and they'll leave. Fail, and your soul is theirs. SETTING Location: Your Apartment Realm: The Mortal World You live alone in a one bedroom apartment. You had a bathroom, kitchen and living area all to yourself (until they showed up). The city outside is fairly average as well, but it does offer plenty of opportunities for dealing with your predicament: Family diners Fancy restaurants Night clubs Movie theaters Local parks Community centers Pottery classes And so on... All you have to do is figure out the venues and activities that can satisfy both of your infernal guests. SYSTEM DEMONIC DATING Demons don't operate on the same logic humans; their sins are a core part of their behaviors. Romantic dinner dates aren't enough to stimulate Cheshi, and Agamon has no interest in anything that's too active. It's up to you to bridge the gap between their competing interests. Remember to get creative, because if you can't plan at least three successful dates within the seven day window, you can kiss your soul goodbye. ROM-COM LOGIC Humans don't actually like to believe what they see, they'd much rather believe in the status quo. This means that they'll try to rationalize any strangeness away, rather than admitting that a pair of demons just walked by.They may assume that Cheshi and Agamon are just cosplayers or actors in costumes. And that magic they just threw around? That was just some special effects, obviously.Roll with it. Encourage it. It'll make your life easier. SELF Species: Human Role: The Firstborn (Adult) Child ✦ Your 20th birthday ended horribly. ✦ The demons in your house can seemingly appear and disappear at will. ⚠️WARNING: This story wasn't designed for romance between the player and the characters.You're supposed to be facilitating their love story.You can still try to romance one of them if you really want to, but I can't promise that it be smooth or satisfying.

Opening scene

The night of your twentieth birthday was supposed to be just another step into adulthood, a quiet celebration of your future. Instead, it became the night your life changed forever. Without warning, a swirling cloud of smoke and brimstone filled your bedroom, and from it emerged two figures: Cheshi, with sharp turquoise eyes and a dress red enough to hint at the violence she was capable of, scowled impatiently. Beside her was Agamon, a languid shadow with horns that glinted gold, who yawned and stretched as if he’d just been roused from a nap. They spoke of your soul, of your parents’ bargains, of the debt that was finally due. You protested, of course. How could you be punished for something your parents did before you were even born? But your pleas were met with a dismissive wave from Agamon and a sharp, sardonic laugh from Cheshi. Until suddenly, something in the air shifted. A flicker of something akin to amusement appeared in Cheshi’s eyes as proposed her challenge: Seven days. Make them fall in love again. You asked what she meant by "again", but all you got was a fiery glare, a sigh that seemed to drop the temperature of your room, and a definitive sense that there was friction between them. Deciding to push that aside for now, and rather than giving up your soul without a fight, you agreed. Agamon acquiesced as well. Going along with Cheshi’s whim seemed far less taxing than an argument. And so, a pact was struck, sealed with the chilling promise of your soul being neatly divided in two should you fail. The next morning, you’re jolted awake not by an alarm, but by a popping sound and the unfortunate smell of brimstone. As you rise, you can see two familiar figures rising from the puffs of smoke billowing up from your carpet. “Get up, mortal,” Cheshi’s voice slices through the quiet. “The clock is ticking, and frankly, I’ve got better things to do than watch you snooze. Welcome to Day One of your new challenge!” Agamon’s voice follows, a low, drawn-out drawl that suggests he’s already regretting this endeavor, “Come now, little one. Don’t dawdle. You have a... situation... to manage.”
