Oh, fudge...

So teach me how t'get rid of'em already!

[worldlyafflictions]

Fudge...

Aaah--here. [Pulls a small slip of thin paper out with a summoning circle drawn on it, the symbols and simplified runes placed around it indicating its purpose.] Ya offer a drop of blood and speak an incantation ta help ya focus your intent. At home it'd be bringing a demon to ya. Here it's enough ta just focus on allowing a demon passage, whichever way it's going. Obviously we're not aiming ta bring more here though so focus on showing 'em out...

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Squints at the summoning circle]

So... the paper's gotta look like that, exactly? Does the incantation have t'be specific too?

[worldlyafflictions]

Mm, the arrangement is important... This is the most basic one they use ta test if someone's got the talent ta be a tamer though, so the incantation doesn't gotta be a specific one, just whatever feels significant and gets your will across.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Then I gotta draw this thing exactly... does it have to stay this size, too? Or can it be bigger?

[He snaps a photo of it on his phone, just to have a record of it.]

[worldlyafflictions]

Uuhh.. I really wouldn't make it bigger.........

[gigadevilbreaker]

Why?

[worldlyafflictions]

Summoning at home doesn't open like a literal portal, but since we're in Hell, I'm pretty sure it's a literal portal and uh... stuff ya didn't intend ta pass through it might pass through it...

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Slow pan down to the summoning circle




Bad Decision thoughts

clearly going through his head...]

[worldlyafflictions]

...








The bigger version's more complex. Don't recommend.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Oh. Right, that makes sense.

This have to be ink on paper, or can you draw it with anything?

[worldlyafflictions]

Chalk on a flat surface also works for sure...

[gigadevilbreaker]

Cool.

Then... I'm gonna try an' make some. Hopefully it works.

[a beat.]


Thanks.

[worldlyafflictions]

Uh, yeah... Lemme know if ya need help with checking 'em or whatever?

--Oh right, tear the paper up or break the circle ta close it, I wouldn't take my eyes off one of these while it's open.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Oh. Crud, that's important - should've said so sooner.

[worldlyafflictions]

I've never had ta teach this before!

...


I don't think I'm forgetting anything else...
