[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???"

That makes sense. It's hard enough to do a summoning without the focal host at home, and this is way farther away.

Can I summon stuff from here? Like pigeons. Specifically dead pigeons.

[psychopompous]

What.

[liarliarliar]

Not you. You're a living pigeon.

[psychopompous]

That's not what I'm concerned about.

[liarliarliar]

She does necromancy to pigeons. . .

[bowtiedbones]

What what?

[psychopompous]

You're a necromancer.

[bowtiedbones]

Yeah so?

[innerdemon]

Er, what do you mean by summon? Like? Make dead pigeons appear here?

[bowtiedbones]

I have a pigeon skeleton. Would I be able to animate it with local pigeon ghosts?

[innerdemon]

Oh! Yeah probably. I mean, this is New York. We probably have million pigeon ghosts available.

[bowtiedbones]

Great! Yeah, pigeons are super easy. There's no loading time at all!

[innerdemon]

I haven't tried? I mean, I don't really want to be responsible for a ghost pigeon.

I'm Elli, by the way.

[bowtiedbones]

It's basically like a regular pigeon, except it doesn't poop everywhere.

I'm Eliza. Nice to meet you!

[innerdemon]

Nice to meet you. Luka's also in here.

[bowtiedbones]

Hi Luka too?

[innerdemon]

Hello.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Can you normally do that?

[bowtiedbones]

Yeah, I have a skeleton in my purse just for it.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Oh, wow! That's pretty cool.

[bowtiedbones]

I have an even cooler one. Want to see?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Absolutely.

[bowtiedbones]

[beckons him closer, opening up her big Hello Kitty purse]

Don't tell the huffy guy, okay?

[rollwillpowercheck]

[approaches with interest!]

Oh, Sariel? Don't mind him, he's always huffy.

[bowtiedbones]

I am soooo minding him.

[besides all the regular purse stuff, there's two tupperware containers stuffed with cotton balls and bird-sized bones. One is the pigeon. The other has a parrotlike beak, but its skull is crested with spikes.]

Can you guess what this is?
