[pm] Oh that. I do know what that is actually, I just didn’t know it was called that. Kind of a weird name if you ask me. I would have called it a squaricross maybe, on account of it being a cross only kinda square. Whatever. Sigil. I’ve got it. So if I draw that you’ll come? Hm. Fun concept, do you like have to come every time it’s drawn or can you decide?

[pm] Well, I mean, not all of them are crosses. Or squares. And they all work differently, but mine has a ritual. I don’t know how Giles figured it out, but he did, back in the universe that you probably don’t remember where he was slightly more badass. There was a goblet, and herbs, and he said, “Anyanka, I beseech thee, in the name of all women scorned, come before me”. I didn’t have a choice, and it was all very disorienting. Moral of the story: phone calls are better.

[pm] Got it, phone call preferred method of communication. Only use seagull for extreme purposes. Strange ritual and phrase that I will probably never remember must be said for it to work. Yeah, I’ll probably just use the phone. I don’t know anything about plants or cups or any of that. Kind of a bad artist also.

[pm] You’ve known me for six years. And been slaying things for… however many more years. And you don’t know what a sigil is.

Remember when I first came to Sunnydale to avenge Cordelia and Giles turned me human by ripping off my amulet? That was my power centre at the time, and it was inscribed with this rounded turquoise plus-sign thing — that’s my sigil. Wait, on second thoughts, were you dead by the time Giles turned me human? Do you even remember that universe? I never figured that out. Okay, never mind. Point is, it’s the turquoise plus-sign thing.

[pm] Oh that. I do know what that is actually, I just didn’t know it was called that. Kind of a weird name if you ask me. I would have called it a squaricross maybe, on account of it being a cross only kinda square. Whatever. Sigil. I’ve got it. So if I draw that you’ll come? Hm. Fun concept, do you like have to come every time it’s drawn or can you decide?

feistyvengeancewaif:

[pm] Either or. Phone calls make me kind of tetchy, but so does demonic summoning, so… let’s go with the latter.

I wouldn’t be using the wish to kill anything, by the way. There’s the whole snowball effect, and sometimes the accidental creation of parallel universes, and the fact that I need to send written reports to D’Hoffryn. Luckily, I’ve still got the old-fashioned way. Anyway, if you need me urgently, just… draw a sigil, imagine drowning a man in his own blood, something along those lines.

[pm] So I can count on you, huh? It’s like the old days sort of. I don’t know what a sigil is… But the drowning in blood thing is probably a can do. If I knew how much of a hassle the granting wishes thing was, I might have I don’t know, gave you a pat on the back or something for your hard work ages ago. Not that I endorse killing people. I actually don’t know where I’m going with this.

feistyvengeancewaif replied to your post: [pm] I saw the news. I don’t know if you still think I’m a Scooby, or… What are we doing? The plan, I mean. There must be a plan, and maybe I can help with it.

[pm] You’re /registering/? Are you absolutely friggin’ crazy? Well, clearly you are to have taken it this far already, but that’s besides the point. Do you really think the government’s going to buy all the other slayers losing their powers at once?

[pm] They all gained their powers at once. We’re going to act like Willow reversed the spell. So they would all lose their powers at once. There’s no way to prove they have the powers anyways. And maybe I am crazy but at least the others will be safe this way. And it’s only if this registration thing actually happens. If they’re safe it doesn’t matter what happens to me, at least there will be someone left to save the world when something actually bad comes along.

[pm] Wow, that’s commitment. Or something. The last time I stood for a cause I didn’t stay standing for very long, but count me in. I’m not planning on leaving Cleveland until people stop getting angry at men and wanting to kill them, so… I think I’m here for the long-haul. I’m not doing anything in the spotlight, but let me know if there’s anything I can do — or kill — to help out.

[pm] Ha well I’m nothing if not committed. Thought that much was obvious by now.  I guess I’ll get all vengeancey in the mood department if anything needs killing? Is that the way to summon you? Or would like a simple phone call work?
