Alchemy ain't got nothing on the Internet
Oct. 2nd, 2009 11:49 amDemon Summoning for Dummies. Also, when teaching uninitiated non-satanists how to summon demons it is important to design your website with BRIGHT RED TEXT on a black background; possibly this makes it easier for immortal creatures of fire to read. I particularly like the lead-in note: *For people who have had problems in getting a Demon to appear, click on the link at the bottom of the page. Unfortunately, neither of these excellent sources was particularly helpful to me in creating a summoning charm of my own, so I am having to make that bit up.
Also, I shall most probably be subjected to the wrath of the gods of five thousand year old frog-eyed monsters for disrespect, as I was unable to resist instinctively squealing "cute!" at the sight of them. If I die a horrible death, it shall be all
laeticiav's fault.

"And so, my good man, I have a proposition for you-- pay no heed to the undignified mode in which That Human has dressed me--"
(I'm not quite sure what she's about to suggest here, but it probably involves either a price for his soul, or getting him to do something she can't be bothered to manage on her own.)

"Look, statue woman, I don't know who you are, but..." (He looks awfully feisty.)
And a (rather poorly focused) height comparison. Lady is wearing her high-heel feet, so she's just slightly taller than the MA boys here:

This makes the newcomer look very south-east asian, although I don't think he is. But I'm kind of fascinated by the possibilities of his skintone; he could be from just about anywhere, give or take a little sun exposure, and sometimes a hint of cross-genetics to explain the facial structure... (American Indian, North Africa, European gypsy, middle east, India, SE Asia, pacific islands... give him a curly wig and he becomes suddenly part sub-saharan African) Also, it's a rather more realistic color (ok, besides being unshaded resin) than any of the "normal" skintones.
I do owe Lady an apology, though, for making her sit around in new and entirely non-matching underwear over her dress for months, and then posting pictures to the internet. She's half-way to a pair of bloomers now, though, so soon there will be exciting underwear for her to sit around in while I finish making her pseudo-18th century finery.

(Of course the last time my biological clock squeeled ('human" instead of "foal" -- and it doesn't happen often -- was when I saw little Tom Riddle in the latest HP movie ... so possibly I have evil taste in children -- probably just as well, since I seem to like evil, soulless men and thus, were I to procreate, the kid might be a little creepy).
Did they hear you squeal "cute"? Because then they would have pouted adorably? If I had them in my front yard, I might feel compelled to go and buy little wizard halloween costumes for them (necromancers and the like need capes! Even flashlight-summoned demons won't respect the capeless). I guess they're not necromancering unless they're trying to summon Fluffy the former teddy bear hamster...

Roy: "Research in the house's library."
Me: "Acquiring more weapons."
Dave: "I guess I'll go down to the basement and practice demon-summoning."
GM: ". . . you don't practice demon-summoning, Dave."
