[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???"

Elli.

[ancestuous]

Elli...?

[completely surprised]

You've grown.

[innerdemon]

It's been eight years.

[ancestuous]

Quite some time. Have you been doing well...?

[reaches out ? to touch]

[innerdemon]

[...takes his hand]

Surprisingly good? Better than expected. We're ... I mean, there's a lot of problems going on right now, a lot of bad things, but... we're a bit happy.

[ancestuous]

[his hand is warm. there's no sense of otherness from him that a supernatural being might give]

"We"? Ah... that's right, Luka too, yes?

[innerdemon]

Yes, I'm still here. Your manly aura has changed?

[ancestuous]

My-? Um...

[innerdemon]

...Maybe this is part of growing up...

[ancestuous]

I'm no longer a vampire, if that's what you sense.

[innerdemon]

That too.

[ancestuous]

A lot has happened.
