"Infernal Love" with Miss Scarlet Dear Miss Scarlet, I am having some problems at my workplace. One of my coworkers (male) had a little fling with our boss (female) and they were always schmoozing it up around the place. Well I guess she recently broke it off and took up with someone else and since then the coworker has been insufferable. He keeps hitting on anything that moves and despite me telling him I am not interested, he keeps doing the same to me. I'm not really attracted to him, but I feel sorry for the poor guy and have been thinking maybe a one night stand would get him over it and cheer up. What do you think? -signed, Selfless Lover Dear Selfless, first let me commend you for your empathy. Your co-worker is no doubt having a rough time of it, it's never easy going from the elevated status of being the boss's boy toy back to being a regular peon, let alone getting cucked by the HBIC in front of everyone. While your heart is in the right place, I advise you not to follow through with your plans. A maxim only slightly less well known than "Never get involved in a land war in Pesh'mer'gal'ia" and "Never stick your dick in crazy" is "Never fuck a desperate man on the rebound." Right now he is going through a crisis of masculinity and trying urgently to remain relevant and fill the gaping hole in his life by filling the hole in someone else's gaping thighs. If you get involved with him in this situation it's only going to lead to heartbreak and problems down the line - particularly as this is someone you have to work with on a presumably daily basis. Hard as it may be, resist the impulse to get involved in other people's relationship problems and keep those legs crossed until he's done working it out with hookers and slaves. I have included in my reply to you some brochures for area brothels and local sex workers if you wish to surreptitiously leave then where he can find them. Dear Miss Scarlet,
I have quite a problem on my hands. I thought I had met an amazing woman. I can be rather shy but she knows just how to bring me out of my shell. She's humorous and witty, finishes my sentences like she knows what I'm thinking, is fun to be around, not to mention drop dead gorgeous and quite a handful in the sack! We have gone on several dates that always went well. I can't stop thinking about her, I even have dreams about her every night. I think I want to spend the rest of my life with her, but when I bring it up she seems very reluctant to commit. She's very secretive and mysterious and doesn't speak about herself or her past much and never seems to want to go back to her place.. I'm usually so tired after one of her visits it's all I can do to just go to sleep, but last time I managed to get up and follow her. Out of the city, all through the woods, towards that dreadful swamp - and that's when I saw her change! She grew wings and horns and a tail and took off flying over the trees! I am totally devastated - this whole time she's been some sort of foul demon or witch from the Cabbala! I am afraid if I even see her again she'll attack me or steal my soul! I don't know what to do, what if my neighbors find out? Should I visit a cleric? Should I get checked for disease? -No Sympathy For The Devil Dear No Sympathy, your query prompts quite an ethical dilemma. On one hand you feel your trust has been betrayed by this woman misrepresenting herself. On the other hand, you yourself have betrayed her trust by violating her boundaries and ended up seeing something that changed your perception of the relationship. Prior to this point you seemed to be perfectly happy with the arrangement, and conflict was only introduced after you sought to take the relationship to a level that she was not comfortable with (commitment) and had seemingly expressed as much, a reluctance that is understandable given the nature of her secret and the negativity shown in your reaction. By your descriptions it would seem likely that you are dealing with a succubus. This presents a complex situation that is emblematic of the often fraught dating landscape of Sincadere where so many different races and beings cohabitate. I find that a healthy dose of empathy and trying to see things from others perspective can help when dealing with such difficulties. The very nature of your missive also betrays some inherent bias of your own. Would your reaction have been the same if your mysterious lady friend had been revealed to be a celestial in mortal guise or perhaps a wily kitsune from the Jade Lotus, or an Unseelie fae, or any of a multitude of other races that seemingly enjoy a better reputation than beings of the lower planes? Have you considered that a being that could seemingly read your mind might have been aware of your presence the whole time and that the reveal might have been a test of your love and reaction? These are difficult questions for me to answer with what was provided in your letter. You might wish to get checked for disease by your local healer, same as you would for any encounter with a new sexual partner, but I would not worry about being cursed or her returning, as my guess is she will likely never reveal herself to you again. Also, having your soul stolen should not be a concern as I have it on good authority that yours is already the sole property of the Pit Fiend Bel'shathrub which tells me you have bigger problems to worry about than a reputation as a succubus fucker. As ever, I remain, Miss Scarlet Comments are closed.
