The Ranger Formerly Known As Mute just sends out the cryptic cube call, “my tower. Bring your bedding.” And then hangs up. Thanks Ranger Formerly Known As Mute.

No, no it doesn't. I want to go back to having fun. We should call on that bartending demon instead of... all of the other ones.

I think Lily just tried that, actually . . .

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[noarchitact]

During another ritual. I just want to call him for some fun. But, honestly, I think I need a demon break. [ he takes his head in his hands. ] I'm so tired. [ he stays like that for a few minutes before sitting up and scooching closer. ] But you, Minuet, what's going on?

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[featherduster]

[ Sighs, lowering his glass ]

Are you aware of the loser penalty for the last ritual?

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[noarchitact]

...I am. [ he heard about it from fifi. ]

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[featherduster]

Tart has it -- had it? Made a real public spectacle out of triggering it. I'm not really sure, since I left.

[ . . . ]

Styx has it too.

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[noarchitact]

I missed that. [ and he is so glad he did. wtf. ] I don't blame you. That... that's... [ no. ]

[ oh... he reaches out and grabs his shoulder, squeezing it. ] And the trigger is the missing emotion, right, ...Lily was martyrism? [ pulse cannot remember because she dumb. ]

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[featherduster]

Yeah, that's the one.

It's not like he's really the martyr type, but . . . well, you remember what it was like to have that hanging over us.

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[noarchitact]

...just having something hang over you is stressful in and of itself. Has he decided on what he's going to do, or have you two reached a decision on how you're going to... take care of... things. [ this is the worst conversation to have to have. he's so sorry, minuet. ]

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[featherduster]

I asked him what he wanted.

But what he wants is to not die.

[ TAKES A BIG CHUG OF WINE ]

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[noarchitact]

Do you think there's a way around it?

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[featherduster]

If there is, I haven't figured it out.

I thought about asking Death, but . . . I already knew what she would say.

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[noarchitact]

We could summon the Demon Doctor and try to negotiate. Tempo has a vague idea of what it looks like.

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[featherduster]

That--





[ WHY DIDN'T HE THINK OF SUMMONING A DEMON?! ]

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[noarchitact]

I was considering it for... someone else, but I could help you instead, if you like. I think we should have an offering for this particular demon if we're going to do it.

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[featherduster]

Someone else?

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[noarchitact]

[ he shakes his head. ] It was just a conversation. [ and he's not going to talk about it, sorry minuet. ]

Would you like to try it? Maybe he'll accept something else.

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[featherduster]

[ yes he would like to summon that demon and use his fucking death kiss on it ]

. . . I dunno. We've got a pretty shitty track record of demons actually making a situation better instead of worse.

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[noarchitact]

...mm, I mean, Thistle's bomb demon is. [ he waggles his hand back and forth. ] We just need to be careful not to piss him off, and we can talk about an offering beforehand. He's a doctor, so we should take that into consideration.

[ vash don't kiss it until it's helped wolfwood! ]

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[featherduster]

Is the bomb demon Thistle's demon now.

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[noarchitact]

I... don't know. Mayyyybe? It seems like the Bomb Demon likes them. [ shrugs. ] Maybe we can make the Doctor Demon our demon. [ let's not talk about doki doki. that's kaveh's personal hell, i mean demon. ]

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[featherduster]

No, fuck him. He put a murder seed in Styx's heart.

[ SRY FANTASIA THAT DEMON CAN GET FUCKED ]

Re: Day 42 evening / post-seance

[noarchitact]

And who do you think can get it out? Him.
