[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???"

—If they forgot it, can I have it?

[rollwillpowercheck]

He dismissed it completely, I think. And anyway, it was in Scotland.

[bowtiedbones]

What! What why! Do you know how much a giant dragon skeleton costs??

[rollwillpowercheck]

You'd have to ask him. I'm not entirely sure he paid for it? Well, he might have, since I guess he was pretty rich when he was alive and did collect that kind of thing...

[bowtiedbones]

Um, I'm not the kind of necromancer that can ask dead people stuff.

[rollwillpowercheck]

No, I mean, he's a ghost. His name's Bastien Mayfair, most people who get summoned here can see him.

[bowtiedbones]

Like, a conscious ghost?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Exactly like that. I think he and his boyfriend mostly haunt Lucia's family these days...?

[bowtiedbones]

That breaks every single rule I know...!

[rollwillpowercheck]

Magic seems to work differently everywhere. I've met conscious ghosts in my world, too. They might have been an exception, though.
