PRE-EVENT: PEST CONTROL

[idolpro]

[ Definitely absolutely no troublemaking is happening here. ]

[foxorcist]

[ No troublemaking, just drawing a big summoning circle, as exorcists do. ]

I think this looks right.

[worldlyafflictions]

Um, so why're we doin' this again? If it's just 'cause you're nervous about falling behind in cram school or something... [maybe we shouldn't?]

[foxorcist]

[she huffs. people who aren't tamers don't get it. ]

We're trying to see if we can contact Nii, Mike and Uke. If this is Hell, they'd be here.

[worldlyafflictions]

[Wow excuse, he does kind of miss being able to summon Yamantaka you know]

I mean it is Hell, but I don't think it's exactly Gehenna ya know...

[foxorcist]

I know that, but what if they've been waiting for us to call on them?

[ the thought of it hurts, actually. Mike and Uke are a part of her. And her mother. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You're asking that now?

[worldlyafflictions]

Well, I didn't know the girls've been wanting ta try this... I guess they're pretty close with their familiars though...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Right. It's very sentimental.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[As exorcists do. He committing the design and process to memory. And by memory, I mean via his camera eye]

Just think it looks right? That's beneath you.

[foxorcist]

I know it's right.

[ better? ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Much better.

[And then a pause]

So what exactly are you trying to summon with this?

[foxorcist]

Our familiars. The foxes you saw before. Camellia has a partner too.

[letgrow]

Ah....Q is impressive as always.

[worldlyafflictions]

You guys were thinkin' of doing this for a while?

[letgrow]

Ah, well, I've been thinking on it for a while now. Summoning demons IN Hell is definitely a unique situation one doesn't jump into...

[worldlyafflictions]

I guess we oughta put up some kinda containment or barrier in case something goes weird... Bon 'n Koneko-san were way better at remembering how those go though...

[foxorcist]

...thanks. I just hope it works.

[ wait, they can't go into this weak-willed. ]

It should work out... right?

[letgrow]

It's going to work.

[foxorcist]

[ reaching for her hand to give it a squeeze. She needs that reassurance. ]

It'll work. Yeah. Let's do this.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You've seen this before?

[letgrow]

Summoning? Of course, I'm also training to be a tamer.

Summoning!

[worldlyafflictions]

[So there we have it--Q's finished summoning circle, with another barrier-type spell drawn around it, large enough for the three exorcists and one spectator to stand around the summoning circle without disrupting the barrier. It's fairly basic, pieced together between the three of them from what studying they can recall, but it should be sufficient to contain the tier of demons that Q's Byakko and Camellia's Greenman occupy, while letting humans pass through it freely.

Pink's part is done, so now it's up to the girls to deal with the summoning.]

Re: Summoning!

[foxorcist]

I respectfully call the Deities of Harvest. Follow my wishes, leave none unfulfilled!

[ Q recites her incantation and nicks her hand, letting the requisite blood drip into the circle ]

Re: Summoning!

[letgrow]

[Was enjoying watching both of them work, but when the attention turns to her, her face reddens briefly. Shakes it off quickly enough because there's no room for embarrassment or hesitation. Her own invocation is nowhere near as polished as Q's, just simple and to the point, offering her own blood up as well]

Won't you come out to play? Tag, you're it.

Re: Summoning!

[idolpro]

[ With blood from both girls spilled onto the circle, it begins to glow: white first first, and then red, as the blood spreads along the markings. Is this normal. . . ?

The floor begins to split open at the center, spiraling out underneath the summoning circle. Past the split is naught but a pitch black void, and yet—it seems as though the void were alive, not one being but many, hundreds and hundreds of little heartbeats and breaths . . . and then, suddenly, hundreds and hundreds of eyes locked onto you.

You hear a thousand snickers in unison.

At once, a burst of dark miasma explodes from the circle, filling up the area; the barrier does not contain the clouds of darkness, and as they flood the area, you can see and hear and feel the edges of the dark cloud take form into brightly colored and small and yet so incredibly loud and obnoxious creatures. They use everything around them as springboards to jump off (this may and definitely does include your face) as they scamper away and cackle, guiding the inner dark clouds out and away from you all. It is, almost quite literally, raining imps—and they seem to be endlessly pouring from the circle.

Oh fuck. ]
