Demon of Grease: Javan may shoot an effectively
unlimited amount of grease from out of his fingertips,
of whatever taste and/or consistency he desires.
Aside from the culinary uses, this can be also used in
combat: the grease jet has a Power of 1, Accuracy of
+2 and a range of ten yards. Anyone splashed with the
grease must make an Agility roll at -2 each turn to
retain hold of any items, or to avoid slipping and
falling to the ground.
bRites: Encourage the consumption of any food that is at
least 20% grease, consume a pound of grease.
It's not every day that one sees a Servitor of
Gluttony with an Attunement from Lust, but Javan
happened to be at the right place at the right time to
make one of Andrealphus' little shindigs a night to
remember. It was enough to get the Impudite an
Attunement ... but not enough to get him away from
Haagenti.
That's the story of Javan's life.
Javan has been trying to Run Away for quite some time
now, with a notable lack of success. His quest is
hampered, of course, by the fact that he can't seem to
be trying to Run Away: that would just bring on the
very thing that the Impudite is trying to avoid.
There's been more than one Demon of Grease, you see.
Indeed, there's been quite a few. Guess where they
all ended up?
Javan has been scheming furiously to avoid this
gristly fate since about five minutes after he
received his Word. Naturally, the optimal course is
to find a Prince that could somehow find Grease useful
- but of the two obvious choices, Andrealphus has been
unresponsive and Javan's smart enough to know that
Kobal would just toss him back after the Joke wore
thin. There aren't many other suitable candidates -
Javan, alas, is a bit of a (read: "a galloping") snob,
and shudders to think of having to have his art
polluted by working for Saminga and/or Belial.
Unfortunately, the list is thus pretty much exhausted.
As a stopgap measure, the Impudite has hit upon the
twin strategies of: a, doing such a good job that
Haagenti will be reluctant to eat him just yet; and b,
finding convenient patsies to distract his Prince
whenever that worthy starts looking peckish. This has
so far worked, making Javan easily the longest holder
of his particular Word. Unfortunately, this has also
meant that Javan is regularly rewarded for his efforts
- which means that he'll just taste all the better in
the end. There's a point of diminishing returns,
here, and the Impudite is just starting to see it in
the distance.
No, Redemption is not an option. Javan likes being
the Demon of Grease. He likes being able to make the
talking monkeys chow down on things that they know are
bad for them, just because it tastes so good. He does
have a certain flair for his job, in marked contrast
to most of the sorry trash that preceded him, and
Javan is fond of sneering at those pathetic losers.
He just doesn't want to do it from inside Haagenti's stomach.
