"Didn't you want my /help/ with something. I'm feeling less and less inclined to give it." "You'll be rewarded for it. Now, since you're already on the ground, place your palms flat on it." "What?" "Just do it."

"Do it or I'm making you a puppet again."

They sighed. "Don't do that." He shuddered and immediately pressed his hands against the ground. "You've spent more than enough time here, I think, so just focus on the flaws you know about and then it should go from there." He frowned in concentration and pictured the hole Lucinda had shot. He didn't close his eyes; he wanted to see how it worked this time. Purple sparks began to spin off his fingertips, some flowing into the flat white surface, some spreading out and turning red.

"Wonderful. It's working."

They placed their own hand between his shoulder blades. "You'll need an extra boost to get /all/ of the plane to the extent needed, but I can provide that. Just focus on keeping it going." "How long?" "Until it's finished." He remained there until the environment began to change. The ground gained texture, and his fingers sank into rich soil. He stared in wonder as trees sprouted up around them, growing decades in mere seconds. "Oh. This is....new," God commented.

Satan looked around, and dodged the growing trees. "I like it. We're keeping it. I don't care if this affects the real world."

"It's much more interesting, I'll admit, but--" "Oh god. /Oh god/." "Yes? ...oh. Hm..." His fingers were turning back into wood. He tried to pull them out of the dirt, but they frowned and kept him down. "You're almost finished. You can't give up now." "Make it stop!"

2015-12-29 11:35:05

●

"Can't reverse it now. You have to finish."

2015-12-29 11:38:54

🌀

He was trying not to cry. "Please, please I can't do this again, let me go....!" "It'll be alright. Just focus." He squeezed his eyes shut so he wouldn't have to watch as his arms took on a grainy texture. There was a rumbling, and a castle appeared, towering over the nearly created forest canopy.

"Looks like this place has a thing for Ren Faires."

2015-12-29 11:44:10

🌀

"I don't think that's quite it." The forest itself burst to life with birdcalls and the rustling of animals. Finally, it seemed to come to an end. "Good job, Madison, you really outdid yourself!" They patted him on the back, still staring up at the castle, but looked down when their hand bounced off something cold. A key, sticking out of his back. He sat motionless in his hunched position, wrists and hands overgrown. "........oh."

Satan looked down. "Well shit. You wanna wake him up or should I?"

2015-12-29 11:50:12

🌀

"I'll wake him up, it looks like that should happen as soon as possible." They tapped him on the top of his bowed head and he disappeared. "...I really hope that doesn't mean it'll carry over. But if he did anything right, it shouldn't."

2015-12-29 11:52:04

●

"One way to find out."

2015-12-29 11:53:30

🌀

They sighed, took one last look at the new and improved astral plane, and disappeared.

2015-12-29 11:54:10

●

Boop! Satan went with.

2015-12-29 11:54:37

Madison lay huddled in the pile of boxes, hugging his knees and shaking. "....I'm never....s-sleeping again." They knelt down and rubbed his back. "....it's okay, I'm sure that was just a one-time thing. Oh, and here. Your reward." In the middle of a stroke, they pinched between his shoulder blades and he jolted, arching his back. "--/the fuck did/--" "I gave you your wings back! You'll have to get them out yourself, but they're there when you figure it out. And you're very good at figuring things out, so I don't think it'll be a problem for long." They smiled at him and withdrew their hand.

2015-12-29 11:57:36

●

"Don't get them caught in a tree." Satan spoke as they leaned over Madison.

2015-12-29 11:59:03

🌀

"How would I even /do/ that?!" "Well, I guess they are big enough for that to feasibly happen. Also, they're going to be very special. So everyone will know you did a favor for God." "....if they're wood, I will fucking kill you." "Oh, no! Of course not. That would just be cruel."

2015-12-29 12:00:53

●

"What? Are they detachable."

2015-12-29 12:04:12

🌀

"No! That's even worse. Especially since growing them back would probably be impossible then. They don't do anything normal wings shouldn't do, I should say." "Since when are wings even remotely 'normal'." "In your circles, they are."

2015-12-29 12:05:33

●

"I don't know, Lance only has one right now."

2015-12-29 12:07:46

🌀

"That isn't because it's detachable." "....well, thanks, I guess." "You're welcome. Especially since you would've had to go through yet another trauma to earn them back otherwise." "Like I haven't already?" "Well....a different kind."

2015-12-29 12:09:16

●

"I mean, I could shove Ivory into traffic you want them back the other way."

2015-12-29 12:10:33

"/NO/," they said simultaneously.
