Hey, it's Anthony Crowley. You know what to do, do it with style.

[demonicmiracle]

Why do I get the impression I'm going to find out?

[occultatum]

Well, you might.

[demonicmiracle]

😒

Don't you need my "real" name for those sorts of things?

[occultatum]

Why, do you have one?

Are you using an emoji?

[demonicmiracle]

Depends on your definition of real. I had a name before I was Crowley, some magic might consider it the proper one

Yes? I'm old, doesn't mean I have to text like a ninety year old

[occultatum]

Was it from before you fell?

[demonicmiracle]

After

The name God gave me is gone

[occultatum]

I don't know. I've never really spent time talking to a demon about names.

[demonicmiracle]

They're not usually up for a chat after you summon them, then?

[occultatum]

Well, not about names.

[demonicmiracle]

What do you usually summon demons for?

Most humans who've tried it are usually after a deal, trading their immortal soul for fame, that sort of business

[occultatum]

My immortal soul already belongs to Lucifer. That ship sailed.

But power is a reason, sometimes. Sometimes it's for information, or new spells.

[demonicmiracle]

Shame you can't get a refund

Demons do a lot of magic, where you're from?

[occultatum]

No, not exactly. But they know how to make our spells better, and they can, well.

This is going to sound offensive, but it's only because I don't have a better metaphor. They're like batteries. All that infernal energy in one place. The right demon working with you can make your magic sing.

[demonicmiracle]

[Sort of fascinating, sort of rude.]

Is that why you want to know if you can summon me?

[occultatum]

No.

I would ask you nicely if I needed to borrow your power.

[demonicmiracle]

How kind.

I'd appreciate a warning if you'd like to attempt to summon me, too. Be best for the both of us if I'm not in the bath when you try it

[Or.... worse. Considering the city.]

[occultatum]

I'm pretty sure it would be in case of emergency only.

[So, naturally, Crowley will be in the bath.]

[demonicmiracle]

Yeah, alright. Emergencies only.

[He likes Nick well enough that he won't put a ban on being summoned for emergencies.]

I bet Lilith doesn't have to deal with this sort of thing

[occultatum]

Lilith isn't a demon.

[demonicmiracle]

That strikes me as a bit of a technicality, but I suppose magic is like that, isn't it?

[occultatum]

I don't know if that's what I would call magic, but sure.

[demonicmiracle]

Is Lilith a witch, then?

[occultatum]

The first one.

[demonicmiracle]

Don't think she exists where I'm from, it was just Eve. I'd probably have gotten into more trouble early on if I'd had someone like her around
