Hell at the moment was rather pleasant, but that was only because it was raining in the abyss; however a good gust from heaven would roar through, clear out the storm system, and the volcanoes would stink up the place faster than a flatulent cat. The problem wasn’t the volcanoes, which like as not, were rather necessary for the whole lake of fire thing, as well as for illumination. Hell had no other light source and the large amounts of gas they put out which with the enclosed roof and all, well… stank. Tantala, or Tana for short, sipped her drink with the verve of a newly minted, well… winged and horned at least, succubus. She was on the last day of a two day pass before getting her first assignment in the mortal realm. Tantala had just received her wings and horns having, just barely, passed her certification boards. As a novice succubus she would be partnered on her first time out.

A succubae’s job was originally to question the moral assumptions of man concerning all things; sex, for which they are most renowned is simply a very easy target, and it is so much fun to question. Stealing men’s seed at night was merely a fun prank; abet one that had gotten very old. Several famous succubae had successfully paired with muses to question such things as: what are the rights of man? Is religion really right? What is the nature of god? And will anybody buy a pet rock(1)? Their job was one of the many officially sanctioned metaphysical careers that any free soul could embark on. While stringent in the graduation requirements, and more challenging than most careers, it was known for being rather fun. However the advent of the enlightenment and the rise of science had posed a problem; how do you tempt someone who positively refuses to acknowledge you exist? The subsequent drop in recruits had hurt the department so badly that they were almost at the point of petitioning god for a draft so they could be staffed even inadequately. Thus for the last two centuries or so the department had be limping along hoping that fundamentalist religion would take hold and revitalize the market; the war on terror, had on the other hand had sunk those hopes faster than a mob hit in New Jersey(2).

Thus out of options the Bureau of Succubae had appealed the Secretary of Metaphysical Debt Collection and Philosophy; better known as Lucifer, The Devil or Satan. The normally extremely crafty former seraphim(3) could only think of one solution: to expand the powers that succubae would have in the mortal realm. This solution however presented a problem; all metaphysical careers had designated domains: angels the messengers, mortals were clueless but had the power to change things, and devils enforced the law of debts on returning mortal souls, and demons the test engineers responsible for breaking everything in order fix it and make it better in the long run. Thus expanding the powers of the succubae in the mortal realm would be invading the turf of the mortals(4), stepping hard on the toes of the angels and well… mean absolutely nothing to the devils(5).

Satan, an expert lawyer, put together a brief, and brought his case to the highest court in existence. He stood before the bench, and argued that the last two millennia had not brought any significant change or moral quandary to man that had not been seen before. That allowing direct interaction would enable the succubae to more effectively force man to address underlying issues that had been ignored in the face of what were perceived to be greater crises. Thus breaking the cycle of history that had repeated itself for ages, it was getting rather boring to watch the mortals try to kill each other over a spit of land here or there.

God carefully considered the merit of Satan’s arguments and subsequently came to the decision(6) that those things in the mortal world outside of the powers of mortals, as currently defined, i.e. normal causality, could be delegated to the other careers given an appropriate need. Thus it was that demons, angels and, in an extremely odd case(7), devils, could on a case by case basis apply for a singular and unusual power within the mortal realm. However there was one exception, the petition of the Bureau of Succubae and Moral Temptation, for powers beyond causality was granted unconditionally.

Thus it was that succubae received the right to alter mortals both physically and mentally provided it was in the course of their duties. There were some objections of course, the angels objected on the gro
