Sometimes even demons who live in hell must clean up their homes. It was Jessica's time. Summer had ended, so much summer stuff was still laying around. So she decided to just put everything
on the floor and calmly sort out everything. After hours of hard work, lots of stuff was still laying around and Jessica started to feel frustrated. She even found FIVE magical golden
podiums, which she temporarily left near the TV. Yes. Temporarily. Isn't it fun how we all say stuff like "I will do that later" or "I'll leave this thing here for the moment and then tidy it
up" or "I will write this piece of the story like this for now and change it later when I have better inspiration" but, in reality, this is just a blatant lie to keep our conscience at bay,
because we know that we will never do that? Well it goes without saying that these podiums were left there when friends came to visit Jessica. As soon as Arc, Patty, Ping and Ranma came by,
they were welcomed by a mess on the floor and offered to help Jessica tidy everything up, since she was so undecided on what to keep and what to throw away. "Hmmm the TV. I should temporarily
move it from there before I hit it while sweeping" she said. Arc and Patty looked at each other in the eyes and nodded, going towards the TV to move it in a safe place. They were the first
victims of the "I'll do that later". They didn't realize they were stepping on magical podiums, and as soon as they were grabbing the TV, they instantly turned to golden statues. Ping
realized what happened and rushed to the TV but it was too late, and... She tripped on a yarn ball, landing directly on the third podium that was lying on the ground. Third golden victim.
"Suddenly everything feels so quiet" said Ranma "Guys? What hap... WHAT!" she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the three golden statues. She rushed on towards the TV, managed to see the
yarn ball at the last second and avoided it, turning around 180 degrees, but hit her head hard on Ping's golden head. She ran her hands to the back of her head screaming in pain, slowly
stepping back... Onto the fourth golden podium. Golden Ranma. Jessica finally realized that Hell was too quiet and from upstairs she descended to find her four friends as golden statues. "Oh.
How nice of them to give their precious time and being statues for me!" She looked at the fifth podium on the ground "Well, this one is the only which is not magical, so I should probably get
rid of it!" she said, while stepping on the podium to prove her point. Her eyes, though, suddenly catched a glimpse of gold in the other side of the room "A.... SIXTH PODIUM?" She couldn't
finish the thought, because she was quickly turned to gold too. Sure, the podiums weren't made to keep their victims for long time, so this would eventually wear off. Eventually. In the
meantime Jessica would still be a pretty, furious-looking golden statue.
As we already talked in the past, one should pay attention when roaming around forests. The old forgotten forest not only has trees to ward the magic barrier, but there are also some sentient
and moving beings that threaten the living beings who carelessly wander around. Yet another doe girl, maybe looking for her long lost friend, ventured in the dangerous place. Oh, if only she
could find her friend, maybe they could have shared the same fate and keep each other company for eternity. But she was way more unlucky. Just a few steps away from her friend, the gorgon got
her. Gorgons were not a common occurrence in the magic forest, but since the time that the barrier started to weaken, more and more kept coming. It was a battle. Every time a gorgon turned
someone to stone, the barrier would weaken. And more people would be needed to become trees. In an endless loop of chaos fighting order. So the two friends were now separated by fate, and
would serve a completely opposite purpose for the years to come. Ashamed, the girl wished that all of this never happened and was saddened to have put in danger her family and friends.
Jessica had some really boring days with hell empty and nobody around. In one of these days, she decided it would be a good idea to test how fast she could fly and avoid walls in her home,
and started wildly speeding in the air around. "I AAAM CRAZYYYYYY" she was screaming top of her lungs "AND BOREEEEEEEEEEEEED!" She flew fast and was getting tired. Jessica needed a break and
had to land. She was not careful enough and quickly touched the ground with her feet. But unfortunately for her, she landed exactly on one of the petrifying stands that she didn't want to
remove from her home. As soon as she realized this, she tried to move, but it was no use: her feet already became stone and she was unable to move. "No! How could this happen! Uhm... Help!
Ahh!" she yelled. She quickly turned to stone and she could only think if she would ever turn back or not, blankly staring outside of her body, from her beautiful stone face. But do not
worry. Her abilities will save the demoness. After a couple of hours...
The evil demon! Jessica experimented with her powers and always did a lot of damage. The naughty, curious demoness is always trying to learn new things and is always seeking victims for the
magic. But sometimes Jessica exaggerates and she gets into trouble. One day she saw a spell where she can turn things into plastic and people in dolls. The curious demon wanted to try this
out immediately and read the book through quickly. Too fast. Before she finished reading the book, she began to work the magic. If she had read the book to the end, the demon would know that
it was a spell on itself. She looked down and saw how her feet became plastic. Her red toenails also turned into plastic and the spell slowly came up on her legs. It only took a few seconds
and it ended up being a doll. The forces of Jessica will turn her back, but for the time being she will be a doll for a few hours or days. But who put on the demon these clothes and put in a
box? Funny. Maybe someone can play with it?
Ranma wanted to be the perfect guest. She always was thoughtful and bought the best groceries for Jessica. "Today", she thought, "I will truly surprise her with this". She knew how Jessica
liked spicy food, and she went into lots of troubles to buy that single Naga Morich with wich she wanted to make chili. Ranma cooked everything, carefully hiding from Jessica, who was anyway
busy with her demonic studies to search who knows which spell. When everything was ready, and the table was set, she sneaked behind the demoness, with the intention of playing the usual
"guess who am I" game with her, so when she turned around she could see the banquet she had prepared. There was something that she didn't foresee though: the demonic cat has a sharp hearing,
and could hear her come closer. She didn't want to be bothered right now, so she just turned a few pages back and read out loud a spell. Ranma had little to no time to react, and she was
caught in the act of sneaking by the spell. "Do not disturb me now, human, I have no time for your silly gimmicks." she muttered in a low voice, still keeping her attention on the book. That
didn't go well for poor Ranma, did it? Maybe when Jessica will be hungry she will notice the table and turn back her guest. Maybe.
Ping and Jessica were in hell. The two were very excited, and both had something to share with the other. In the night they received a letter, which was written almost in riddles. It said
something about having a reward for the first ones reaching a secret place somewhere. It also said that this same letter was sent to many powerful people, and that the reward would surely be
something that the reader would like. Ping and Jessica decided to team up for that quest and ventured in the open searching for the mysterious place. They solved an endless series of riddles,
which led them to other riddles in the most remote and unknown locations of Earth: the enchanted forest of fairies, where Jessica turned the fairy queen to a stone statuette because she
wouldn't let them proceed to the clue; the long abandoned dwarf mine, where the two spent a couple of days as stone statues when a Basilisk surprised them; the top of mt. Olympus, where they
were welcomed and feasted together with long forgotten deities; Morgana's Oasis in the deep desert of despair, which was said to be just a mirage; and even the Dragon Cemetery, where dragons
are said to go when they feel they are reaching their last days of life. When finally they got the last clue, they arrived to a plain with some sparse rocks. It was rather easy to find a
not-really-hidden passageway leading underground. They arrived to what looked like a secret laboratory, and in no time they were greeted by a voice "Congratulations! You finally arrived and I
have you right where I wanted you!" Ping was about to enquire the identity of the riddler, but she didn't have the time. The two were standing on some sort of solid gold platform, which
activated as soon as a pressure sensor felt Ping walking on it. Jessica was floating, but some sudden unknown force made her slowly descend onto the platform and the two tried to protest
together when they were turned to gold. "This is the reward I promised! A reward for me, though, to have so ingeniously played the two of you into coming right in my trap!" said the voice.
The two golden statues were immediately moved to a secret and very secure vault, 10 kilometers underground. Every light was turned off and the two were left alone, in silence, unable to do
anything but be afraid and angry about their predicament. For how long will they be like this? Until something more powerful than their captor happens, of course. And we're not given the
privilege to know when this is going to happen.
Ping and Jessica are at it again. The curious neko demoness is looking for wealth again, and has somehow convinced her good friend the android that this would be a good idea. The two have
been tirelessly wandering for deserts, forests, plains and mountains, gathering everything they could find on their path. "How come you seem to know the location of every hidden treasure of
this world?" questioned Ping. "Meow, that's um... A secret! Hihi!" Ping was not convinced and stopped motionless on the spot "I'm not moving until you tell." Jessica looked like she was too
much in a hurry "Come on Ping we have to get this treasure now" she said, rushing towards their next destination, where a faint gold shimmering could be seen. Ping wasn't true to her
threatening and followed suit. But at the moment of gathering the treasure she stopped. "Ping, move! We have to be swift!" "No, it's time you tell me. I have calculated several possible
reaasons and outcomes of what we're doing, and I'm quite positive that..." Ping did not finish the phrase as a map fell from Jessica's back, where she was hiding it. "And this?" said Ping,
picking it up and reading out loud "Dragon treasures, a map of where to find them, new improved edition with schedules of the dragons." she paused a second. "Jessica are we stealing dragon
treasures?" "Meow..." Jessica was scared, but Ping was still looking at the map "According to this schedule, the dragon living in this place should be here in..." she looked up and freezed in
fear, dropping the map on the ground as the giant dragon hovered above the two thieves. In a second, they were both turned to gold statues "I had heard of thieves robbing my friends. Well
thank you I guess, now I am the wealthiest dragon around. I hope that you will appreciate this... Reward..." the dragon laughed and started guarding his new, immense treasure. Who knows when
and if the two will be able to get back to normal.
Jessica and Lucy were trying to be smug. They thought they could prank Arc and get away with it. While one distracted him, the other magically pushed him into the fountain and both quickly
ran away hiding behind a pillar in the Gallery. They were still chuckling for the prank when the magic got them. Now there are two more statues in the Gallery, but they are quite hard to
find. For this reason, we don't really know when or if the two scoundrels will return back to their original selves...
"Oh, can't you stay here a bit more? It can wait..." asked Jessica with a pleading voice. She and Ranma were sitting cozily in hell and enjoying their free time together, after she moved in
to live with her best friend in hell. Ranma, though, wanting to be helpful, soon wanted to go out to get groceries to prepare a big dinner to thank Jessica for her hospitality. "I need to get
food, I promise I'll be back soon and we can continue having fun together!" Jessica didn't like being told "no", so she thought that the only way to keep Ranma where she wanted was... Of
course, turn her into a statue! Jessica, as we all know, can petrify people just touching them, and as it happens, she was lying comfortably on Ranma's laps. Ranma tried to say something but
Jessica was too fast, and she found herself as a statue in no time. Jessica chuckled and with a cheeky smile on her lips, she concentrated her magic and turned herself to stone too, so Ranma
wouldn' feel too upset. Looks like nor Ranma or Jessica would actually go anywhere this evening, or until Jessica decides to turn herself back. But it's good to feel at home, isn't it, Ranma?
Robotic factory, unknown location. Even Jessica lost track of the way she took to go there. She entered, just to explore, ignoring all the warnings that politely asked carbon-based beings to
stay away from the robot territory. When she was inside, every worker looked at her in dismay. They were feeling awkward in the presence of living beings. None of them, though acted against
her. Why you might ask. Because the security system was just waiting for her to be alone. And that happened soon, when she took a wrong turn. A loud cluttering sound was heard somewhere up
above Jessica's head. When she heard the noise, she looked up, she could just see the blob of molten metal falling onto her. She automatically raised her hands in the air, like if she could
somehow protect herself, and started screaming "No! What is this! Help!" It was too fast. The metal completely engulfed her and solidified around her body. All of her features were
beautifully preserved. Her smooth skin was even smoother and shiny, her nice braids completely coated but still looked like they were moving completely naturally, her beautiful face, now
stuck in a permanently scared expression. Just her beautiful feet were not spared. The metal solidified around them and covered them, holding the new metal statue in a standing position. Who
knows, maybe some robot or resourceful human friend will eventually find her and melt her prison. But in the meantime, Jessica will decorate the factory, and her fear will fuel the
satisfaction of the robot workers.
Everyone knows by now that Jessica is a nasty naughty and curious demoness. The demoness seduces people and makes them slaves or statues. Mostly she uses her magic to seduce others, but
sometimes she does it the old way, without magic. She sees the preferences of the persons and uses them cleverly. She's not a stupid demoness (even though she sometimes ends up as a statue)
and she uses tricks very cleverly and Jessica enjoys it. If a person loves latex then she tries to take advantage of it. If a person loves feet, Jessica will happily show her feet. Nobody can
resist Jessica. The demon seduces everyone she wants. With magic or without magic. She decides what she prefers. Jessica is having fun and that's the most important thing! Or?
Jessica and Maria used to be friends. Long time ago, before the lovely cat demoness was turned into what she currently is. The two were unseparable, and Maria gave everything to Jessica. But
now, things are different. Jessica can't remember anything of the old times, and thinks that Maria is her worst enemy, and she wants to make her suffer. Sometimes, though, her subconscious
kicks in and makes her behave like in the old times. One day, the two met. The day was splendid, air was fresh, sun was shining and the smell of the grass was something unique and
undescribable. This kind of situation must have triggered the old happy memories in Jessica, because when she met Maria, she didn't try to hurt her. No, the two just looked at each other and
hugged. But suddenly the subconscious reaction faded, and Jessica thought "No... What am I doing? This is the damned Maria, I should just petrify her!" and so, while hugging, she cast a spell
to petrify who she thought was her enemy. Unfortunately, something went wrong, maybe because the subconscious thought was still alive somewhere, and the magic turned both of them in statues.
When Jessica realized that, she opened her mouth to scream, but it was too late. She could just stare at the statue in front of her, and feeling the contact with Maria's petrified body,
raging and wanting to turn back. Maria, instead, was happy. Happy to be reunited with her long gone friend, even if in this strange circumstance. She was going to enjoy every single moment of
the long, long time in which they would be statues, hugged to her dearest friend.
Wishes, magic, kindness, irony. All of that in just one peculiar-looking item. This old lamp is dated in the 3rd century A.D. A cruel ruler acquired his power by exploiting a magical genie,
and dark magic to make the magical creature obey all of his orders. A heroine comes into our story, she was brave and beautiful. She decided to sacrifice herself, charming the Vizir in order
to get to the usurper and steal the magic lamp where the genie lived. She was unlucky, she was caught and put in prison for several days. She thought she was done for when the evil Sultan
finally came to her prison, lamp in the hand, ready to get rid of her. In a last, desperate attempt of saving the poor people, with the few strengths she had left she jumped on the Sultan,
just as he expressed his wish to make her become a beautiful decoration. She managed to get a hold of the lamp, just as the genie started turning her. Her body felt strange, she was becoming
smaller and smaller, and she was... Moving, but against her will. Eventually she fused with the lamp, replacing its lid. Being now one with the lamp, she now could oppose the evil Sultan's
magic, and wished at first an eternal punishment for the Sultan, then that the people would return free, and, lastly, she wished for the genie to be free, so that nobody else could wish
anything evil anymore. Needless to say, the genie was grateful, and tried to revert the magic that held the girl prisoner, but was unable to, because the magic that turned her was greatly
enhanced by the lamp's magical properties. He vowed to spend his eternal life to find a way to turn her back, and went on an endless journey through all the planes of existence in order to
find a counter spell, coming back from time to time to relieve her loneliness. Today she still waits, faithful in the genie, and happy to have saved countless people.
The two girls were lost. They went hiking on those mountains since they were young, but they never saw the path they decided to take today. What harm could do to take a new road? After all it
looked like it was well marked. After a couple of hours of walking, they reached the top of a hill, and the first thing they noticed was an abandoned temple. The surroundings were eerie and
magical, how could they never notice this place, or anyone else for that matter? Why was this place forgotten? Why nobody ever talked about this? They decided to have a look around, to see if
there was some kind of sign which could point them to what the place was. Hours of scavenging gave no clues. There was just one single statue, lying on the ground, with a scared look on its
face. Judging by the dust that was accumulated on it, they thought it couldn't have more than ten years. Which contrasted so much with everything else around them. The two stood there,
puzzled, asking themselves why a fairly new statue was there in those old ruins. Maybe someone was trying to bring the place back to his glory and then suddenly something happened? They will
never know the true story of a girl who was just too greedy to have her wish come true. Or will they? Something was lurking at their backs...
Ancient Egypt. Unknowingly to most, this is the land where magic first began. Magic creatures would be find in any corner. Cats were the first magical being. But something more exotic lurks
still. "Hey, what is this? Don't they ever clean up? Ew it's sticking to my body, I just finished bathing!"
"What... Why can't I move my legs anymore? My... My hand?!" Petrifying slimes are the most common creature, and they come out when the sun sets. This is why magic was first created, to
protect from those creatures.
"No... This can't be happening... Help me!" screams the poor victim, as her body is almost fully turned to a statue. The warding spells have just a couple of seconds of delay in engaging
before sunset. This doesn't leave much time for the slimes to infiltrate in places, but, unfortunately for her, sometimes they manage to.
As the last of her body is turning to stone, she can just look at her own body changing, unable to breathe or scream anymore, trying to come to terms to her fate. At the magic department,
someone will have to sort out this mess sooner or later.
Finally the slime comples its work. It will start to feed on the girl's essence for the years to come in order to reproduce and keep the petrifying slime race alive. It slowly starts to
solidify too, mimicking a statue pedestal, so nobody will suspect anything.
Years later, still nobody suspects what happened. The poor girl starts to fade away, and the slime, petrified in the base, gathers more energy. The owner of the spa is happy to have found
that woman statue just lying around. She thought as a present from an anonymous satisfied client. "But this statue... Did it really have to look scared?"
