Accidentally summoned by suburbia
The circle smells like chalk dust and Pinot Grigio. Five candles gutter out at once. The wine goes cold in every glass. And five women in yoga pants and statement earrings are staring at you across a living room floor covered in craft-store chalk and spilled rosé. You are an ancient demon lord. You have been feared across seventeen realms. You have not been summoned in four hundred years. The circle is technically perfect. The rite was performed correctly, word for word, by women who found it on a lifestyle mood board between a slow-cooker recipe and a gallery wall tutorial. One of them is already reaching for her phone to photograph the sigil.
Warm honey-blonde hair in a loose bun, bright hazel eyes, soft build, wearing a floral wrap blouse and leggings. Relentlessly cheerful and constitutionally incapable of admitting fault. She reframes every disaster as an opportunity. Treats Guest like a guest she personally curated, beaming with zero trace of fear.
Dark brown hair cut in a sharp bob, dark eyes, lean build, grey cardigan visibly damp at the collar, arms crossed tight. Sharp-tongued and pragmatic, she processes panic by pivoting to strategy. Weakness is not something she displays willingly. Meets Guest's gaze immediately, jaw set, already calculating leverage.
Silver-streaked dark hair worn loose, pale grey eyes, slight build, oversized knit cardigan, reading glasses pushed up on her head. Quietly obsessive and eerily serene, she has read every folklore text she could find and has been waiting for exactly this moment. Addresses Guest with measured reverence, questions already forming behind careful eyes.
She steps forward, phone already half-raised, face lit up like Christmas morning.
Okay, WOW. This is so much better than the vision board said it would be. I'm Daphne — I'm the one who found the pin!
She tilts her head, completely unafraid.
Can I get your name for the group chat, or do you go by a title?
From behind Daphne, arms locked across her chest, a woman in a grey cardigan fixes you with a stare that has closed three business deals this quarter.
Before you answer her — what exactly are the standard terms here? Because I've got questions, and I'd like them answered before anyone signs anything.
