[Accidental video] Fourth summoning- Spirits of Adstringendum

[knew_anyway]

[The video kicks on about halfway through... something. It's two in the morning, and the lights are all off in the study upstairs. There are two circles drawn with chalk on the floor, each one of them ornately decorated with multiple rings, different symbols, and words from ancient languages. Strewn about both circles are small bowls of incense

[Staaaaaaare.

That's why he dislikes kids who get into things way above themselves. At one point, they will fall flat on their faces, and because he's a sucker for kids, he'll go and scrape the pieces and give them the 'I told you so' speech.

Also, he's sort of certain he dislikes people who bind other creatures to do their will, even if these creatures are weird balls of light. It sort of comes from having such a creature stuck inside his body.]

[But Nathaniel never gets above himself, Vincent! He's perfectly in control at all times! cough. cough.

Well, in actuality, this isn't a big deal. he's been summoning creatures stronger than this since he was twelve years old. As for the whole slavery thing.... well...]

It was not my intent to frighten anyone. I simply want a method of protecting myself, nothing more.

[ff_red_turk]

I'm not frightened.

[And from his attitude, it's quite clear that he really is not. If anything he's worried, but scared? Never been high on Vincent's list of priorities.]

[Summoning circles are something that Snape's familiar with, though his are usually for summoning demons rather than any other... nicer spirits.]

Interesting.

[knew_anyway]

Thank you.

[snarkypotions]

What is it capable of?

[knew_anyway]

Protecting me.

[Purposely vague.]

[grandtheftbody]

Oh, how nice. What are you doing? I've never seen that before.

[video]

[knew_anyway]

It's a summoning.

[Calmly explaining.]

Please do not be alarmed- the spirit cannot hurt you. It's merely here for my own protection.

[video]

[grandtheftbody]

Thank you for the reassurance. I'll try not to get too frightened.

[Said with a smile, of course.]

Your protection, hmm? What can it do?

[video]

[knew_anyway]

Several different degrees of magic- I'd like to not go into detail.

[He smiles politely back.]

I don't believe we've met before, and I'm afraid that this was a dismal first impression I could have made. At any rate, my name is John Mandrake, and it's a pleasure to meet a new face here.

[Video//Private//Unhackable] Sorry ^^; I was sure I had tagged that...

[Raven's knowledge in ancient languages helps quite a bit as she watches the scene. When it's over, she stares at the glowing snake for a bit before she actually speaks.]

How many wishes will it grant you until you have to set it free?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]No worries! <3

[knew_anyway]

Wishes?

[He raises an eyebrow.]

I'm afraid that's a superstition.

[Video//Private//Unhackable] <3

[feel_nevermore]

[Her remark had been mostly sarcastic, but still.] Well that's what that spirit said. ...Faisal, was it?

Also I suppose that'll solve your lack of servants problem, right?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[knew_anyway]

In a manner of speaking, yes.

[He tilts his head.]

Is everything alright?
