[Game 21] Summoning

[arsgoetia]

For some of you, this may be a familiar feeling. For others, it's a new sensation: a tug, a pull, suddenly finding yourself slipping between the cracks and opening your eyes in someplace that was not where you were a few moments ago. It feels like getting tugged into someone's embrace: warm, a little exhilarating.

As for where you find yourselves:

It's a tidy, well-kept garden in the backyard of a small house with yellow trim. The house is a little run down, but immaculately clean and well-kept. It's a sunny day, and there are literally pies cooling on the windowsill.

There is a red-haired boy standing on the rooftop, looking down at everyone with his hands outstretched. One moment, he seems very calm. The next moment, it's sheer panic.

"Oh???"

You seem familiar with this summoning thing.

[onelastknight]

Yes, although... it would seem that this time the circumstances are different.

[oneknightsstand]

Well, I guess it saves a little of the explanation, at least.

[onelastknight]

The 'how' is taken care of. I must admit I am now a bit unsure of the 'why', however.

[oneknightsstand]

That I can't answer for you 'cause I had no idea it was gonna happen. Usually it's... we're deliberately seeking out help for a problem for some reason? There's a few people who want to help, and sometimes it brings in others with it because it's imprecise. But, uh, I'm not sure if that's what happened here?

[onelastknight]

Well... it may be an abnormal summoning, but I am still willing to assist with any problems, if... there are any.

[oneknightsstand]

I... have no idea. Maybe? Madison, um, predicts things, so...

[onelastknight]

So there... may be a problem to solve in the future?

[oneknightsstand]

Or he predicted something just now and called you all without saying anything.

[onelastknight]

I suppose this must be inconvenient for, ah, the rest of you...

[oneknightsstand]

I mean, probably not as much as you guys??

[onelastknight]

Well, not for me personally. I was not especially busy.

[oneknightsstand]

Nnno?

[onelastknight]

I tend to spend a lot of time just ... waiting to be summoned.

[oneknightsstand]

Are you a spirit or something...?

[onelastknight]

[ nods! ]

Ah— yes. I suppose I neglected to mention it because usually it is self-evident when summoned, but since this is an unusual summoning... I'm a Heroic Spirit.

[oneknightsstand]

Like, the spirit of a hero?
