Ten things about Reina Castaneda

1. If you pushed her on what her biggest, most secret fear is, it’d be that she’s not… exciting enough. Good enough. Weird enough for Acacia. I mean everyone in Gravity Falls knows about those wacky Pines and they’re all larger than life and she’s just… Reina Castaneda, born to a boring set of parents, moved to Gravity Falls halfway in school, is a fucking accountant for pete’s sake-

2. She loves Acacia to distraction, but honestly- the eyeball trick thing? Getting a little old.

3. Oddly enough, it’s Reina who is the Fun Parent (there’s always one) and Acacia who is the Strict Parent.

3.5. If you asked Acacia, it would be because she knows their little hellions and the tricks they get up to and-

3.75. If you ask Reina, she would tell you that Acacia is reading way too much of her own misbegotten youth into their own children who are perfectly good thank you very much.

4. The wildest thing Reina has ever done, in her eyes, is pose nude for Acacia to paint. Actually, more like things since it basically happens once every two or three months. (Reina is 44 years old and still hasn’t quite told her mother that there are essentially nude pictures of her out there floating around in the art sphere)

5. Acacia never got the point of pets, but Reina has throughout their relationship kept a series of pet box turtles. She loves how patient turtles are… also that her MIL knits little outfits for them which makes them even more fucking adorable.

6. It’s Reina who does the handiwork in the trailer. Partially because Acacia doesn’t have the patience for anything that can’t get fixed in ten minutes or less. But mostly because for all of the genius and fine motor skills her wife exhibits with the pen, the brush, the pencil, completely disappears the second she tries to do anything 3D.

7. Nito was named for Acacia’s uncles. His twin, her Josefa, she named for her Bisabuela. She didn’t remember much about Bisabuela, but she did remember old old hands holding hers, helping her shape numbers on the page for the first time.

8. Reina is patient, calm, cool, collected. She doesn’t like to hurt people or even think about hurting people; it’s Acacia who has that fire, that temper, that power. It drives her wife to distraction sometimes, when she mentions self defense classes or boxing lessons and Reina shakes her head no. She knows Acacia doesn’t understand; they lead dangerous lives (no, Acacia does) and Reina needs to be able to defend herself. But Reina knows, even if its dumb and foolhardy, that Acacia will come to rescue her. Always.

9. Reina likes Dipper well enough, but honestly? She doesn’t really have strong feelings towards him. He’s family, and he means a lot to her wife and her children but eh. He’s a little much for her.

9.5 Dipper thinks it’s because he’s a demon. Reina would point out that she finds that he tries like, way too hard and she’s thought that since she first met him.

10. Reina is allergic to avocados. The day she told the Pines family, Mabel declared it a day of mourning and spent the rest of the week trying to make a guacamole fascimile for Reina.

Saw this link and then I fic’d. Oops. 

——-

Lucy Ann was always a little surprised how much Hank’s nieces and nephews adored her.

Hank’s kids, she got that, she had been babysitting them since they were born. But even their cousins called her Aunt Lu and occasionally she got a call from Mabel or Acacia asking if she could come and babysit.

It was….nice, to have a family again, after so long. Mabel and Henry considered her one of their own, and constantly had Hank bring her along whenever they had a family gathering at the Shack, or sent Dipper to make sure that she was doing good and was she eating enough?

(That a short middle aged woman could ‘send’ the world’s most powerful demon to do things like some kind of errand boy always cracked Lucy Ann up, though she liked Mabel and Dipper far too much to actually show it.)

Today she was at the Shack, looking after Willow and Acacia’s children while the adults had gone to a home and garden show in Bend.

She was on the couch hate watching “The Widdlest Wampire” when Josefa, Acacia’s oldest, sat on the couch next to her.

“What’s up Jojo?” Lucy Ann asked, doing her best to ignore the sounds of scream and chaos coming from the yard and other parts of the Shack like a good responsible aunt and babysitter.

“Aunt Lu, how old are you?”

“Old as balls kid, I’ve told you this before. Why ask again?”

Jojo blushed a bit and looked down at a textbook she had in her hand.

“Me and Nito are doing an assignment on the French Revolution and we were wondering if you were there?”

The swish and thud of the guillotine, the splash of blood across her face and the temptation to lick it off her hands….

“Yeah, I was,” Lucy Ann said, mentally editing what would be appropriate to tell a pair of twelve year olds. 

She opened the book and her eyes immediately fell on “Marie Antoinette is most famous for uttering, ‘Let them eat cake,’…”

“What kind of shit are they feeding you kids, this is so fucking wrong.”

Jojo winced. “Aren’t you supposed to not swear in front of us?”

Lucy Ann waved a hand at Jojo. “Yeah yeah, like you two don’t swear like sailors at school, whatever. Point is, this is complete trash.”

“How do you know?”

Lucy Ann couldn’t help but puff up a bit.

“How do I know? How do I know? Kid, get your cousins and I’ll tell you some stories about the summer I spent at Versailles with Marie.”

(Two hours later, when Mabel, Henry, Willow, and Dipper got home, that was how they found Lucy Ann surrounded by several children, all awestruck as Lucy Ann spoke.)

Full Circle

seiya234:

Sitting in his wheelchair (that had long since been bedecked
in rhinestones and glitter by Mabel,) Stan couldn’t help but feel a massive
wave of deja-vu.

There was his niece, sitting blearily up in bed, tired and
proud and tripping out on drugs all at the same time.

There was her spouse, a familiar look of weariness and
having been repeatedly hit by a truck on their face.

There was his nephew, crying and freaking the fuck out of
the nurse who was obviously new to Gravity Falls.

And here….

“Say hello to your great-great grandkids Grunkle Stan,”
Acacia warbled from the bed. She was pale, had massive bags under her eyes, and
had forgotten both her glass eye and eyepatch at home so she was looking a
little creepy, but Stab had never seen her so happy in her life.

Reina gently placed a little girl on one arm, as Mabel
placed a little boy on the other.

He looked down at them for a minute.

They both had furious red hair, Reina’s deep brown skin, and
Acacia’s big nose (Stanley’s big nose). The girl looked more like Reina in the
face, and the boy more like Acacia.

“What are they called sweetie?” Stan finally managed to ask,
over the tears that he was not crying.

“You’re holding Josefa in your left hand,” Reina began,
before looking at her wife, who finished.

“And that…that’s Stan in your right,” Acacia said gently.

It felt like all the breath left Stan’s body. He looked down
at his great-great grandson (he was not going to be here much longer, Stan knew
that, and he had long gotten past the point of caring about proper names).

Little Stan opened his eyes and glared blearily up at him.
One of his hands popped out of his swaddling.

There was six fingers on the little hand.

“Is…is…do you mind Grunkle Stan?” Acacia asked him
hesitantly, and Stan belatedly realized that he hadn’t said anything, was still
gaping down at Josefa and Little Stan like a fish.

“It’s perfect,” he finally managed to rumble out, gently
brushing a thumb across the face of his newest grandson.

Little Stan’s cheeks were wet, yet his eyes were dry.

[9:43:43 AM] Mayordomogoliat: "AND I GOTTA DEAL TO MAKE
WITH YOU”

[9:44:09 AM] Seiya: Omg

[9:44:14 AM] Seiya: Shit bout to get real

[9:44:27 AM] Seiya: Would this be while the kids are still
little?

[9:44:37 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Still thinking on that

[9:44:50 AM] Mayordomogoliat: I’m guessing this would be
around the time they’re starting to move out

[9:44:55 AM] Mayordomogoliat: or maybe before

[9:44:58 AM] Mayordomogoliat: No wait

[9:45:02 AM] Seiya: Oo?

[9:45:13 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Bellicose and Gideon meet when
the kids are little

[9:45:32 AM] Mayordomogoliat: During the period of time
Gideon just doesn’t even get close to Gravity Falls

[9:45:57 AM] Seiya: OOOOO ye

[9:46:35 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “You got potential kid,
but we gotta drive it to something more productive.”

[9:47:04 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “So You better shape up,
cause Uncle Bellicose is gonna teach you
the ropes.”

[9:47:28 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “And what do you want in

[9:47:39 AM] Mayordomogoliat:
“CONFLICT BOY! I LIVE FOR IT!”

[9:47:54 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “Sure Humans are prone to
it on their own, but that’s not enough

[9:48:13 AM] Mayordomogoliat: "Sometimes they need a
little push in the right direction.”

[9:49:22 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “You think I was happy
with just letting the romans languish! Hell No. That’s why I got me my Golden
Boy Attila. The right push and he did the rest.”

[9:50:17 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “Oh the Dark Ages were
fun, so much death and war.”

[9:50:44 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “Or all of the hordes in
Persia and China.”

[9:51:18 AM] Seiya: Gideon should probably be a little more
wary but lol no

[9:51:52 AM] Seiya: Gideon has poor decision making
skills….also the idea that he can weasel his way out of any deal he may make

[9:52:42 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “I’m the most Prolific
Spirit of War this side of the Milky Way.”

[9:52:54 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “The key is
sustainability.”

[9:53:58 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “Sure a complete genocide
might be fun, but you gotta think on the future, you need People if you want
War, and I am above all… a people person.”

[9:54:16 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Be scared world

[9:54:26 AM] Mayordomogoliat: this demon understands….
CAUSALITY

[9:54:50 AM] Mayordomogoliat: And sustainability

[9:55:42 AM] Mayordomogoliat: He took a couse in war
economics

[9:55:48 AM] Mayordomogoliat: HE INVENTED WAR ECONOMICS

[9:56:36 AM] Mayordomogoliat: So he might take Gideon on,
but first he makes Gideon prove himself, he has to get followers

[9:56:58 AM] Mayordomogoliat: A base of operations

[9:57:14 AM] Mayordomogoliat: And he’s gotta WIN!

[9:57:18 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Big time!

[9:57:37 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “Do All that, and I might
just coach you into Greatness.”

[10:00:21 AM] Seiya: Gah and Gideon would do that too
because he’s not stupid

[10:00:32 AM] Seiya: And he is charismatic

[10:00:38 AM] Seiya: And knows how to play people

[10:00:55 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Two things that make
Bellicose different from regular stock of demons, he’s gotta a different
mentality than most, and he’s oddly very in sync with the physical world

[10:01:15 AM] Mayordomogoliat: like Dipper is very present
within the Physical world

[10:02:02 AM] Mayordomogoliat: If Gideon gets Bellicose’s
training

[10:02:20 AM] Mayordomogoliat: He might enter into direct
conflict with Hank and his Mafia later on

[10:02:37 AM] Mayordomogoliat: since I doubt that Gideon’s
quest to power will be purely in the overt sense

[10:04:30 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Bonus points if Gideon’s
Faction starts to appear long after Hank has established himself as the Head of
Portland and Oregon’s Supernatural Underground Community

[10:05:14 AM] Seiya: headsplode

[10:05:20 AM] Seiya: omg

[10:05:33 AM] Seiya: Sweetie 60 year old mabel catching wind
of this

[10:05:46 AM] Seiya: And just being like “EW NO
GDI”

[10:06:01 AM] Seiya: (Willow knows it’s bad since her mom
almost never swears)

[10:06:14 AM] Mayordomogoliat: is this afer or before the
Appearance of the Vegas branch of Hank’s Mafia?

[10:07:35 AM] Seiya: Hmmm. Can be. Though that would put
Hank in his 40s/50s since the Vegas mafia is an accident on Hazels part while
she’s attending UNLV

[10:08:04 AM] Seiya: #the power of kindness….and
accidentally starting another gd mafia lol

[10:08:17 AM] Seiya: Unlike Hank though hazel tells the
family right away

[10:09:09 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Gideon’s presence in Vegas
was maybe the group that was already there before Hazel arrived

[10:09:39 AM] Mayordomogoliat: They’ve been moving from New
Orleans outwards

[10:09:56 AM] Mayordomogoliat: For the past 30-40 years

[10:11:39 AM] Seiya: Oooooh yeah

[10:12:03 AM] Seiya: And Hazel starts helping people out,
accidentally knocking heads against some of gideons lieutenants

[10:12:13 AM] Mayordomogoliat: It even works within Gideon’s
kid timeframe

[10:12:30 AM] Mayordomogoliat: You remember Gideon’s kid?

[10:13:26 AM] Mayordomogoliat: And if the Vegas thing starts
to change, Gideon himself appears in Vegas, with his Private jet and Pompadour.

[10:13:40 AM] Seiya: OMG YR

[10:14:22 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “I’m disappointed
Michael, Here I thought you were capable of running our business ventures in
the Mojave, and I hear you’ve been having trouble with some College girl.”

[10:14:41 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “I don’t like
dissapointments Michael.”

[10:15:31 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “But…”
“Shoosh Michael, i’m not finished.”

[10:16:24 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “As such I’ll be handing
over this operation to someone who Will deal with this.”

[10:16:31 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “BUT SHE’S A
PINES!”

[10:16:37 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “… What?”

[10:16:49 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “A PINES, FROM
OREGON!”

[10:17:01 AM] Seiya: Gideon doing a complete BAWOOOOO

[10:17:08 AM] Seiya: dropping his cool for once

[10:17:37 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “A… Pines you
say.”

[10:17:51 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “Yes, sir.”

[10:18:06 AM] Seiya: Minion handing over a picture of a
dorky red headed girl with more freckles than she knows what to do with

[10:18:21 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “…You’re in luck
Michael, I’ve decided to take… a Personal interest in our Vegas
Venture.”

[10:18:59 AM] Mayordomogoliat: This has gone from a routine
deposing of incapable minions to a personal vendetta

[10:18:59 AM] Seiya: Daw Hazel bby. All she wanted was to
get her degree in hotel management and maybe run a bnb

[10:19:05 AM] Seiya: Yessss

[10:19:46 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “Ah Miss Hazel Pines, so
nice to meet you” At a café somewhere

[10:19:59 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “Ehm, I’m sorry do I
know you?”

[10:20:24 AM] Mayordomogoliat: "No not personally, but
I’m an … old friend of your Grandmother and Grand Uncle.”

[10:21:09 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Old man with Pompadour, white
suit and very pale skin

[10:21:30 AM] Mayordomogoliat: ANd those reflective glasses

[10:21:37 AM] Seiya: Hazel playing it cool like dad and
Grunkle dipper and mom always say to do

[10:21:50 AM] Seiya: Making sure the switchblade she keeps
in her boot is at hand

[10:22:44 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “I was hoping to talk to
you, about certain… aquiantances you’ve been making. You study Hotel
management, true?”

[10:24:46 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “Oh but how rude of me,
Allow me to introduce myself.” Presents his card, G. Gleeful:
Entertainment Consultant

[10:25:29 AM] Mayordomogoliat: The name clicks something in
the back of her mind, but can’t quite place it

[10:26:16 AM] Seiya: OH MY LORD

[10:26:18 AM] Seiya: WHAT IF

[10:26:29 AM] Seiya: THE HALF GIANT HAZEL HAS BEFRIENDED

[10:26:57 AM] Seiya: Aka Janice Rivera, getting a bs in
biology

[10:27:15 AM] Seiya: Sees her and has a bad feeling and kind
of comes up to Gideon and Hazel

[10:27:25 AM] Seiya: Puts her hands on gideons shoulders

[10:27:39 AM] Seiya: (His very fragile shoulders)

[10:27:45 AM] Seiya: And asks if everything is okay?

[10:29:12 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “Why yes, young lady, I
was just going to ask how my … old friends were doing. We haven’t seen each
other in such a long time. Why me And Dipper used to go to the same Book
club.”

[10:29:24 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Always in control, that’s our
Gideon

[10:29:45 AM] Seiya: That’s what 20-30 years of practice
will get u too

[10:30:05 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Also I’ve been getting
another HC about Vegas

[10:30:25 AM] Mayordomogoliat: A Spirit of Luck and Chance
ended up taking over

[10:31:03 AM] Mayordomogoliat: He’s Lawful Neutral

[10:31:11 AM] Mayordomogoliat: But he’s got certain

[10:31:13 AM] Seiya: OOOOOO

[10:31:13 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Rules

[10:31:18 AM] Seiya: oh?!?!

[10:31:20 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Everything can be Bet

[10:31:25 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Even more esoteric things

[10:31:45 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Business must keep running

[10:31:54 AM] Mayordomogoliat: But Anything can be won or
lost in a Bet

[10:32:04 AM] Mayordomogoliat: ANYTHING

[10:32:19 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Not much trouble if you don’t
get into the serious gambling

[10:32:40 AM] Mayordomogoliat: But some Really High Stakes
in the Top Echelons of Vegas

[10:34:22 AM] Mayordomogoliat:
THe Spirit won Vegas in a series of High Stakes games and deals, or outright
bought it

[10:34:28 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Which due to magic and stuff

[10:34:35 AM] Mayordomogoliat: gives him some unique
abilities

[10:34:56 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Within Vegas basically

[10:35:10 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Gambling is used to solve
every dispute

[10:35:16 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Win anything

[10:35:21 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Lose Anything

[10:36:01 AM] Mayordomogoliat: You could technically even
win the entirety of Vegas, if you could get onto the Ultra High Stakes table,

[10:36:10 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Which is a Invite only affair

[10:36:19 AM] Mayordomogoliat: and very rarely happens

[10:36:24 AM] Mayordomogoliat: But it’s televised

[10:36:57 AM] Mayordomogoliat: And Nobody has yet beaten the
Spirit

[10:37:10 AM] Mayordomogoliat: They have been able to
survive with minor losses

[10:37:15 AM] Mayordomogoliat: but that’s also rare

[10:37:29 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Generally when they Lose the
Ultra High stakes, they lose everything

[10:38:06 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Properties, money, memories,
loved ones

[10:38:24 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Left worse than nothing

[10:39:28 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Even Demons and other more
Metabeings have to follow the rules of set by the Spirit

[10:40:00 AM] Mayordomogoliat: It’s also the place where Demons
can’t just do whatever they want

[10:40:20 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Think of it like this

[10:40:55 AM] Mayordomogoliat: the Laws of Gambling in Las
Vegas, are woven into the fabric of reality within the city

[10:42:04 AM] Seiya: LOVE IT

[10:44:11 AM] Mayordomogoliat:
Although I wonder if Hank has to get involved in Vegas at some point

[10:44:20 AM] Seiya: 😀

moose who is 6’9, hair is shot with grey, and is one with the city of portland

[10:51:13 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Gideon does not have trolls

[10:51:19 AM] Seiya: Why am I seeing some Cold War type shit
about to happen?

[10:51:34 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Cause that’s what would
happen

[10:51:50 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Gideon while antagonistic to
the Pines in general

[10:52:00 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Is smart enough to be Wary of
Hank

[10:52:05 AM] Mayordomogoliat: (not Dipper, HANK

[10:53:00 AM] Mayordomogoliat: And Hank’s Mafia, while not
as widespread as Gideon’s Organization, is very strong in the places it is

[10:53:57 AM] Seiya: I don’t see it being physically much
outside of portland-but word of mouth and
so forth is what pushes hanks influence outside of the city

[10:54:19 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Oregon is basically all rural
in the most case I think

[10:54:28 AM] Seiya: Yuppers

[10:54:55 AM] Mayordomogoliat: So Hank’s influence extends
quite far in Oregon

[10:55:51 AM] Seiya: I also don’t see dipper getting
involved in this until maybe gideons….patron comes out fully onto the stage.
Because Hank and hazel are stubborn and Can Handle This

[10:56:32 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Gideon calls a Favour in from
Bellicose and Dipper also appears in response

[10:57:03 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “Demon Vs Demon fights
are things mortals shouldn’t concern themselves with”

[10:57:23 AM] Seiya: Hazel giving Grunkle dipper the stink
eye but admitting he has a point

[10:58:15 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Bellicose responds to Alcor:
“So you’re the one responsible for killing the Code Spewing Nacho, Well,
this should be interesting.”

[10:59:51 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “So let’s see Rookie, if
you got the Balls to stand in his place.”

[11:00:29 AM] Seiya: I have this image of Gideon to the side
flipping his goddamn shit because he wants to be the one to take on dipper

[11:01:01 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “Shut it Gleeful, this
is Demon business now.”

[11:01:50 AM] Mayordomogoliat: And before the Bruhaha
happens, the Spirit of Gambling appears

[11:01:54 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “WOW THERE!”

[11:01:56 AM] Seiya: YEEE

[11:02:11 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “We are not having this
damn thing happening here.”

[11:02:44 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “This is mY city and I
can’t have you guys trashing this, that just won’t fly.”

[11:03:38 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Bellicose: “Get out of
the way D-Man. This between me and him.”

[11:03:44 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “YOU know the rules

[11:04:12 AM] Mayordomogoliat: "I own Vegas, I make the
rules, I say no.”

[11:04:26 AM] Mayordomogoliat: “So stop it or
Git.”

[11:05:13 AM] Mayordomogoliat: He’s just an incorporeal
voice right now too

[11:05:26 AM] Seiya: What if this is the first time hazel
has seen the spirit of Vegas and she’s freaking out not only because demon
fight and gideon

[11:05:49 AM] Seiya: But worried she may have just stepped
on the toes of the genius loci of Vegas and oh shit

[11:05:56 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Spirit of Vegas doesn’t make
public appearances besides the Rare Ultra High Stakes Games

[11:06:28 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Gideon did start it

[11:06:39 AM] Seiya: Darn it gideon

[11:06:49 AM] Mayordomogoliat:
A Genus Loci is most powerful within his territory after all

[11:09:00 AM] Mayordomogoliat: A swirl of cards and poker
chips rise from a crack in the ground and a Well dressed Woman appears.
“Bellicose, Alcor, Out of My City.”

[11:09:18 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Las Vegas; First city to own
itself

[11:10:49 AM] Seiya: Love it

[11:14:05 AM] Seiya: Also I can see Vegas when zie manifests

[11:14:12 AM] Seiya: Chain smoking

[11:14:20 AM] Seiya: And always has a drink in their hand

[11:14:31 AM] Seiya: Maybe one of those green poker visors
too

[11:14:56 AM] Mayordomogoliat: the house always wins

[11:15:54 AM] Seiya: Yes

[11:16:11 AM] Seiya: The nice thing is that Vegas always
draws people who believe otherwise

[11:16:14 AM] Seiya: Like Gideon

[11:16:39 AM] Seiya:
(Lol hazel bab is a junior in college she does not need this shit)

[11:17:46 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Well since Vegas is both a
Spirit of Luck and Gambling and the Genus Loci

[11:18:11 AM] Mayordomogoliat: This means she also has
favourites blessed with some form of luck

[11:18:28 AM] Mayordomogoliat: But probably follows the Same
rules as the Lady’s luck

[11:18:47 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Don’t count on it

[11:18:53 AM] Seiya: YUP

[11:20:04 AM] Mayordomogoliat: Anyway

[11:20:13 AM] Mayordomogoliat: We have a demonic rival for
Alcor

[11:20:32 AM] Mayordomogoliat: An interesting place

[11:20:40 AM] Mayordomogoliat: And what Gideon’s been up to

[11:20:54 AM] Seiya: SO WE DO

[11:21:32 AM] Mayordomogoliat: That’ll be interesting

[1:02:25 PM] Seiya:
omg

[1:02:28 PM] Seiya: just had the idea

[1:02:35 PM] Seiya: of acacia hearing about all of this
after it happens

[1:02:37 PM] Seiya: and calling her kids up

[1:02:42 PM] Seiya: stan and serge and josefa

[1:02:51 PM] Seiya: “don’t you three get any ideas
now”

[1:03:02 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Which part happens

[1:03:05 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Vegas happens?

[1:03:25 PM] Seiya: vegas

[1:03:32 PM] Seiya: finding out her niece has started
another gd mafia

[1:07:33 PM] Mayordomogoliat:
Acacia’s kids what do they do? one of them I remember was a sculptor and maybe
inherited her Mother’s ability to make golems

[1:08:28 PM] Seiya:
Josefa becomes a mathmatician

[1:08:38 PM] Seiya: and may be like the head of the math
department i worked at for three years

[1:08:50 PM] Seiya: insanely smart but also super cool and
chill and plays in a band and also loves beer

[1:09:19 PM] Seiya: Stan, aka Nito, is the sculptor!

[1:09:39 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Serge peaks my interest

[1:09:44 PM] Seiya: lol yup!

[1:10:03 PM] Seiya: we gotta start mixing science and magic
and also space at some point in this au lol

[1:10:08 PM] Seiya: outside of magiorb!

[1:10:11 PM] Seiya: and magicore

[1:10:17 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Magicore was my first try

[1:10:21 PM] Seiya: so i thought serge would be a good
jumping off point

[1:10:31 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Magic Lasers?

[1:10:38 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Serge made Magic Lasers

[1:10:48 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Ever seen the Fallout Lasers

[1:10:49 PM] Mayordomogoliat: ?

[1:12:28 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Sorry my main inspiration for
alternate Technological progressions is Fallout

[1:12:56 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Mainly cause of all the miniaturized
atomic engines

[1:12:57 PM] Seiya: a no worries and b. yes from watching my
friend play lol

[1:13:35 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Anyway if serge gets an
interest in deriving usable energy from magic

[1:13:47 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Lasers and heat generation are
the main paths to go

[1:13:54 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Due to turbine generators

[1:13:56 PM] Mayordomogoliat: heat the water

[1:14:02 PM] Mayordomogoliat: turn the turbines

[1:14:07 PM] Mayordomogoliat: voila

[1:14:12 PM] Mayordomogoliat: It’s a place to start

[1:14:37 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Until you can get some
evolution like making the turbines turn with magic itself

[1:14:53 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Or some other method of
turning magic into usable electricity

[1:15:20 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Lasers heat up the water and
are less prone to meltdowns like Nuclear energy

[1:15:23 PM] Seiya: 😀

[1:15:44 PM] Mayordomogoliat: …. thinking about it
electricity for humans mainly revolves around making things turn

[1:15:54 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Never noticed before

[1:16:37 PM] Mayordomogoliat: And magic on some level is
condensed energy with a  different
wavelength

[1:17:09 PM] Mayordomogoliat: What were we talking about

[1:17:11 PM] Mayordomogoliat: oh yeah

[1:17:16 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Acacia calls kids

[1:17:22 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Not to do anything

[1:17:29 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Dangerously stupid

[1:17:40 PM] Seiya: lol yup

[1:17:50 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Serge: “Sure Mom.”
Tinkering with prototype Magic Laser

know (hooray Lovecraft)

[1:19:26 PM] Seiya: YEEEEEEEEE

[1:19:58 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Nito: “Sure mom.”
Hanging precariously from large sculture incorporating metal and fire

[1:21:45 PM] Seiya: Willow doesn’t even bother trying lol

[1:21:54 PM] Seiya: also since she regularly demon hunts and
has no room to talk

[1:22:11 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Willow’s phone bill must be

[1:22:51 PM] Mayordomogoliat: Number of kids that she
adopted

So I keep thinking about this (spurred by the romance novel asks, as well as the triplets-wanna-go-with-Alcor-when-he-gets-summoned) And basically cults have seen Mizar appear at summons and now the triplets (well, Willow) too. They’ve gained reputation: Mizar as Alcor’s Wife/Other Half/Familiar/etc, Willow as his kid. And likely people have seen Alcor rescue the triplets when kidnapped for sacrifices. so what about HENRY? I want Henry to have a (frightening) reputation related to Alcor too plz

Josefa opened the course book for her freshman summoning class, a ‘who’s who’, as it were, of demons and their attachés.

She flipped to Alcor first, because it was always hysterical to see what they got wrong.

Under “allies” she saw the following.

“Woodsman, The. Also known at times as ‘The Scarecrow’ or ‘the Tall One.’

While the Woodsman has not been seen nearly as much as Mizar the Gleeful, he has appeared enough for some basic facts to be attributed to him.

The Woodsman has been described as inhumanly tall and pale, with fire in the place of hair, and black pits for eyes. Always he is seen carrying an ax and garbed in the clothing of a cliche version of a lumberjack, thus contributing to his Name.

While not as flashy as Alcor or as exuberant as Mizar, the Woodsman is still not to be trifled with, though of the three he is described as the most merciful and calm. Descriptions of his appearances describe him as slow to anger, but once done so, impossible to stop. Like Mizar, the Dream Bender can choose to lend some of his power to the Woodsman, increasing his destructive potential tenfold (see “The Caney Patch Massacre” on page 112).

As with Mizar and certainly Alcor, do not, for whatever reason, attempt to summon the Woodsman.”

Once Josefa finished laughing, she reached for her phone and summoned the Woodsman.

"Grandpa! Grandpa Henry you won’t BELIEVE where you just showed up-”
