I'm doomed.
This is a situation that is on par with no horror I have ever experienced.

I stare at the silly boy who's looking like he just walked into a biker bar or something. "We're not looking for anyone, what are you talking about?" I ask irratably. I look at Cordelia. "Oh, this is the reason you didn't get back to Buffy's with us?" I cross the room in a few strides and grab him by the scruff of his neck. "What did you do? We'd thought we'd lost her? After all we'd been through, do you have any idea how traumatic that was? Do you?"

"I....i....Ieee." Ok. Apparently they are too strong for jedi mind tricks. Now what?
"Ah...Ah...Ah. I've no idea what you are talking about. I've totally had no run-ins with the slayer at all. I'm..I'm just an innocent bystander. I just came by looking for a um..ring tricks" I supplement my story with helpful hand jestures. It's a bit difficult as the shopkeeper (who may in fact also be possesed) has laid hold of me. "Or...or possibly a rabbit for my um magic show."

I snatch my hand away from him and take a step back. "He's evil!" I say with certainty, turning to Cordelia. "He's come here to torment me with, with... Who sent you?" I ask, turning back to him.

I eye him. "Oh shut up, you're a crappy liar, mister 'I was helping Ethan Rayne'." I say. "He had me in some kind of circle. I think he's a little deluded."

"Excuse me? She's a demon!? You're very life could be in danger."
"And anyway it didn't do what is was supposed to do anyway! Clearly your merchandise is substandard. How can you sell things to people if all it does is make people disgusied as demons glow!???!"
I notice the demon-cordelia doing something. I hide behind the shopkeeper. If it's something dire I have a better chance of undoing it if it doesn't actually hit me.
"Are you casting? You're not supposed to be casting!"

[ace_jenkins]

"What, hey! No hiding behind me after telling me my merchandise is substandard! You do not get to use me as a human shield after that! And it's not - that's what it's meant to do," I say - he's really pissing me off now.

"Are you still going on about me being a demon thing?" I ask. "Look, genius, did you happen to know if I was a demon before? I could have always been a demon, you didn't happen to check then did you?" I ask. "And quit hiding, wuss."

[darth_wells]

"Yuhuh."
"Fiend,"I say dodging behind the shopkeeper again as the freaky fireflyie thing tries to head my way, its for her own good really, I doubt she can channel the darker magiks the way I can, "I know you, you cannot trick me by plucking memories from my head. The true Cordelia is not a demon."
