Are you afraid of the Darksoul? [Part 2]

[birthmural]

[[OOC: This right here is required reading if you're going to tag. OOC organization is here

For too long the firstborn son of Satan's demonic soul had been trapped, denied his rightful control over Daimon's body. Now, thanks to Mei-Xing, he was finally free. The next course of action was obvious- he would have to take control of one of the beings on this ship. He could start with the vulnerable and move on to the more powerful. He had to act fast before that fool recovered. Fortunately he needn't go very far. The city was full of potential victims.

Now, now. Who to possess first?

Peter dodged effortlessly, leaping to the side of the building on the other side of the street. With a weapon like that he had to play this smart, work his way in close without leading himself too wide open.

"In case you hadn't noticed? I make a joke out of everyone. You're not some special snowflake. Y'know, aside from the talking duck thing."

"Stand still, you blasted jackrabbit!" he ranted, firing another gout of flame as he tried to get closer.

Just close enough. Peter leapt as the flames flew, firing solid balls of webbing at Howard as he arced over the duck

"Oh come on. You can banter better than that. At least crack a Yakov Smirnoff joke."

"Yakov Smirnoff wouldn't know funny if it bit him on the ass!" he ranted.

The solid balls of webbing knocked him down, sending the trident clattering from his hands. He shot a glare in Spidey's direction.

"And you're not the funny either!"

"I don't know what you're talking about. "In Soviet Russia, duck roasts you" is totally funny when coming from a duck." he said, firing a webline at the trident. It was probably best to get that thing out of the way.

Howard tried to reach for the trident, but failed. "Give that back, you accursed arachnid!" he shouted.

"You meddle in Satanic forces beyond your pathetic understanding!"

Score! One trident webbed to a wall just out of Howard's reach coming right up. And while he was at it, Peter aimed webbing at the duck's feet just for good measure.

"You're probably right. For instance, why a demon would possess an anthropomorphic duck of all things is definitely beyond me."

"I certainly wonder why he would do so a second time." Daimon said, walking into view.

By the Hadean Chimes. Why did this have to happen again?

Re: Howard the Duck

Howard thrashed about, trying to free himself. "He's certainly a more hospitable host than you ever were, Daimon," he snarled. "Unlike you, he gives into his rage quiet readily.

"It's mostly impotent though." Peter couldn't resist pointing out. "I mean, really, how useful is that gonna be in most situations? Or any situation at all, really?"

Daimon did not say anything. Instead he walked to his trident. He was lucky that Spider-Man had separated the trident from the duck.

He was not lucky in that the instant his fingers were about to touch it it vanished, the darksoul having left the duck and moved on to the next victim.

"By the Seven Circles! I thought even you were above such cowardice!" But he received no response and so had no way of knowing if the darksoul had even heard him.

Howard groaned and blinked his eyes. "...I have the sickening feeling of deja vu," he muttered.
