[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] Oh, yes. You could send a seagull. You wouldn’t need a ritual for that, though. Unless it were some kind of magical demon tracker seagull.

…In which case, wait— if those exist, why have you been hunting us by foot?

[pm] No I meant the seagull thing that you were talking about before not the bird. There are no magical demon finding seagull birds, not that I know of. And I can’t see how they’d be very useful once they found the demon anyways. If I was a demon I’d just kill it once it found me. Solve that problem right away.

Hey! Maybe there were but they just got all killed off and stuff.

[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] 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.

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.

[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?

[pm] You’re still a Scooby if you want to be a Scooby, Anya. The plan is that the other slayers pretend they lost their powers and when the time comes I’m the only one that registers. The government gets their slayer and the girls go free. I’m gonna be protecting Cleveland all on my lonesome from now on since the others have to lay low. I could definitely use my friends to help me in that area.
