Private Finished Afternoon Tea With a Devil

One last time, before the ritual began, Chloe double-checked to make sure everything was in its proper place.

First, she checked the summoning circle. The sigils, the names, the ancillary structures and runes that she'd added, the candles. Everything was drawn with the correct ink, she had the right incense, she knew the right incantations. Everything magical was in order.

She had countermeasures in case Arghumghaulus wanted to kill her, but she hoped it wouldn't come to that. The thing that bothered her the most was the little refreshments table she had set up, and the table and chairs where they would sit down, if her guest was able to. Most of the last demons she'd summoned for a chat appreciated the touch and found it endearing, but some others were picky about food and drink. If they even had the ability to consume things - when they couldn't that was embarrassing in its own way.

She was sure Lord Ghum would be able to sit down at a chair and have a drink, though. He was half-hellion. They usually had humanoid forms available, and they could usually drink and eat.

Chloe was as ready as she would ever be. The ritual began.

It was an odd thing to be summoned. It has become a rare occurrence over the past few decades for Arghumghaulus.

He had to make do of what his father let him have in his hell, which was honestly super boring. Lord Ghum has been doing the same thing over and over for years now; which was literally nothing. These days no one dared tried to summon demons like they used to. Lord Ghum blamed it on all this new fancy technology that the humans just keep making. His father’s hell was boring. Sitting around was boring. Killing the same things was also getting bo- Wait. Wait. Wait.

Killing things in hell was still fun. Getting things to kill each other was also fun. But alas, it wasn’t as entertaining as it was before.

And then suddenly, he was not in hell.

Just like that, completely out the blue. Lord Ghum was on Earth.

Arghumghaulus will appear in his imposing and intimidating demonic form once the light faded and the smoke cleared. Luckily he was able to fit in the room however he still hunched over a bit. Once he was sure he could stand properly, Arghumghaulus stretched his arms and rolled his shoulders back as his eyes quickly scanned the room before finally setting his sights on the supposed summoner.

Things seemed a bit different the last time he was summoned to earth. It was no cave or somewhere out in the middle of the woods. Not even a temple dedicated to his father. This was already going well.

“Are you the one who wants to die today girl?”

Chloe rose to her feet, revealing her tail and strange legs. Eyes wide, she stared at him, stunned. She was... blushing?

She was a little scared, but that wasn't why she was stunned. She had summoned more powerful demon lords before, and they were actually pleasant conversationalists. She was used to this feeling. It's just that she didn't expect Arghumghaulus to be so hot.

"... Actually, Lord Ghum, I'm not going to let you kill me today."

She took a breath, calming herself. She smiled up at him. "But I would like to visit with you. There aren't a lot of other children of demons from our hell. Please, have a seat." She gestured to the small table to his right, with two chairs next to it.

"Would you like something to drink, Lord Ghum?"

Bloos · May 23, 2018

Arghumghaulus immediatly took note of his summoner’s blush when she looked up. Not surprised there since he is literally naked.

”Like what you see? Are you stunted by my presence?” Arghumghaulus placed his hands on his hips and stood tall to allow her to get a good look at him.

“Tell you what, I’ll have a little fun with you before I rip yo-” He stopped and stared at her.

What. The. Fuck?

All the excitement in Arghumghaulus left his body as soon as his mystery summoner referred to him as Lord Ghum which was obvious when his tails stopped wagging and just "sadly" drooped down. He frowned and looked suddenly displeased, baffled, and very angry.

“I have been waiting a thousand of years for some incompent fool to summon me so I can tear them apart! And yet here you are...”
Arghumghaulus let out a loud growl as he took a few steps closer to his summoner, only stopping to lean over.There was a hint of anger but it was then gone as sudden as it came. Arghumghaulus sighed and then folded his arms behind his back. He couldn’t kill her. She said it herself. Fuck.

He instead began to examine her fully with his eyes, taking note of her appearance...which made his mouth twitch into a smile. “A demon? I was summoned by another demon?” just saying those words upsetted his entire being, but he was just dandy.

“From our hell?” Someone from the same hell? No. No. That couldn’t be right. He squinted at her some more. Okay. She managed to get some of his attention.

Arghumghaulus looked over to the table where she wanted him to sit. The chair was…….he wasn’t going to fit in that chair without breaking it. Still he marched himself over there and made an attempt which resulted in him just standing.

“You summoned me and I assume you know who I am and what you are doing.” He took a moment to look around the room and then to the door. This place was probably warded to stop him from leaving. Well the only thing he assumed he could do know was play his part.

“So what do you want to talk about....Master?”
There was definitely a pause before he called her master.

Kait · May 23, 2018

There was a lot going on, there. Lord Ghum seemed pretty upset that he wouldn't get to kill her. Probably ruined the mood for a roll in the hay, too. A real shame. Still, there was something oddly satisfying about watching him realize who was in charge today - even if she felt guilty about it.

Chloe held up a hand. "You don't have to call me your master. Just 'Chloe' is fine. The last times I've done this it's been sort of like an interview or a social call. I ask you about yourself, you can ask me about what's going on out here. And... maybe we can find something to do later that you'd enjoy more, if you still want to stick around."

She walked over to her little drink table and poured herself a cup of hot water, then added some sugar and a tea bag. "You're my guest, and I want to be a good host. So, do you want anything to drink, or are you not into... consuming fluids?"

Bloos · May 23, 2018

“Chloe? Sounds familiar.” he tapped his chin. There was something about a Chloe he heard before.

"You aren't the one who banished her own old man from his own home are you?" Yeah. That was probably it. He heard about that from his dad.

“So an interview?” This seemed simple enough. It was something Arghumghaulus was never summoned for either. Still it wasn’t something he really wanted to do. There was no killing involved in asking questions.

Arghumghaulus began to stroke his beard with one hand as he peered down at Chloe. He could get some info out of her as well about this era so this would be at least a bit useful.

“A question for a question then.”

Now the matter was did he want something to drink? He wasn’t exactly thirsty at the moment but then again she was offering so why not?

“I will accept this….. tea.” Tea. He’s drinking tea now?

Kait · May 25, 2018

"I didn't banish him. I made a deal with him. And I'd rather not keep talking about it, or I might break that deal."

Chloe prepared a cup just like her own, and carried them both to the table on saucers. "It'll need a few minutes to steep." She didn't sit down. If he couldn't sit down, she wouldn't sit either. It wouldn't seem right.

There was, however, a notepad and pencil on the table. She grabbed them and began to write.

"Before I forget, you mentioned waiting a thousand years for this. Or - maybe a version of this where you have the upper hand, at least." She almost smiled. She wasn't going to gloat; that would be mean. "But I thought you may have been here more recently than that. I read about an incident about a century ago involving your father's sigil and some corpses, and another one just about thirty years ago. Do you think any of that could have been you?"

Bloos · Jun 2, 2018

“Seems like a shitty deal but whatever. No talking about it. Fine fine. “ He gave a shrug. That seemed liked the most interesting thing about her so far. Arghumghaulus was just going to drop it…..for now.

“Huh?”

Arghumghaulus blinked.

“A incident a century ago and thirty years ago?” His head tilted to the side as he thought about this. He was sure he wasn’t here fifty years ago….that seemed way to recent. He also wasn’t exactly sure when the last time he had the pleasure of being summoned. Which begs the question…

“What year is it? I don’t normally keep up with dates and I’m sure you know time is weird in hell.”

“Last thing I remember from being on earth was this group of humans who summoned me. Don’t recall what they wanted, some weird suicide cult who thought summoning a demon to kill them was such a great way to die.”

“They were fun. We hung out a bit, fucked around, gathered around the bonfire and told stories….and then I made them regret ever summoning me.”
And just like that, after taking a sip of the tea; Arghumghaulus regretted drinking it. He made a face and then put it back down.

“They cried like fucking babies and begged for mercy. Shit was hilarious!” he laughed loudly. Oh boy that was actually funny and ge was surprised that he remembered that.

“There was like four...now wait. Five? Was there five corpses in one of those incidents?”

Kait · Jun 3, 2018

"By the calendar most of us use, it's 2018." It would be convenient if all the goetic demons used the Gregorian calendar, but some of them didn't pay enough attention to know about it. And she knew how weird time could be.

This kind of talk used to make Chloe more uncomfortable. Today, it gave her a chuckle. "Crying and begging for mercy. They literally brought you out for help killing themselves. Some people, I swear." She laughed at herself, at how awful she probably sounded, while she took down a few brief notes.

And as for the body count - "Yeah, that sounds more like the one thirty years ago to me. Bunch of dumb kids must've found a copy of Goetia I guess. But now it's my turn to ask a question, so: what motivated your father to have you? Love, maybe?"

Bloos · Jun 6, 2018

Arghumghaulus also let out a laugh. That entire situation was funny to him. "I could have done way worse too but....."

Arghumghaulus sighed.
"They claimed to be my cult. They wanted to still die up till the very last minute. So they died. Something something....human self perservance probably kicked in after they saw me ripped the first one in half."

Welp. He should probably fix that.
"I wonder if I have any followers left..."
It was a thirty year gap, surely there is someone who worships him somewhere.

"So I was here thirty years ago....and yet a lot of shit changed on Earth. Humans are always seeking new change..."

Then Arghumghaulus made the most sourest of faces. Then just started laughing. "Love."

Arghumghaulus was damn sure his dad definition of love was super twisted in some way. It wasn't the same type of love humans seeked for anyway.
"I doubt that was the case. He doesn't "love" anything other than his stupid sword and violence. I was born by accident. He then took me and only ever had me do things for him."

" I'm just another useful demon in his legion who gets special treatment. Hell, he even gets upset if I stay on Earth too long. Fucking control freak."

He then stepped closer to Chloe.

"What about you huh? I take it you weren't born out of love. "
