Possible Summoning Shenanigans

– Alcor appearing as himself, but only a few inches tall.
– Alcor appearing only a few inches tall but with normal sized wings.
– Alcor appearing as Lepus the rabbit or as the Answering Machine, effectively a double troll.
– If he appears as the Answering Machine, speaking only by repeating parts of recorded songs and/or messages.
– Speaking in a language that the summoner took a class on in school but isn’t fluent in.
– Appearing as the summoner’s sixth grade English teacher because I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING OFF ABOUT THAT GUY! I FREAKING KNEW IT!
– Pretending to be the most cliché villain ever. Swivel chair, obviously fake British accent, stroking either Lepus or a nightmare lamb in his lap, the whole shebang.

Lepus and the Circle

ii-thiscat-ii:

While the Circle is not a big religion by an stretch, it is large enough that every branch of the Circle has pulled the lucky 1:750 and gotten Lepus instead of Alcor at least once. Some, like Glendale, seem to get him on a fairly regular basis. (Particularly around the Spring Equinox for some reason.)

Since Lepus is essentially a sacred animal of Alcor, the Circle starts to appoint someone in each temple as the “Sacred Bunny Handler” for lack of a better title. Whose job it is to look after Lepus until their Lord comes to pick him up, or he can be returned to the nearest branch of the Cult of Dipping Sauce. This usually someone young, who is particularly fond of rabbits, and who incidentally has to intensely study the finer points of domestic rabbit care.

Considering when they do summonings at all, this often gets awkward.

Aside from the Midwinter feast, the Circle of the Dreamers’ Star only summon Alcor for weddings, naming days for new children (many children born into the Circle get a true name known only to them and Alcor), and other, equally important stuff. Hoping to be blessed in marriage and ending up with a rabbit instead is not ideal at all.

Summonings of the Fluffy Kind

phenyxsnest:

Since things today have got a lot of us upset, decided I’d go ahead and post this silly, fluffy fic I wrote in a burst of creativity yesterday.

Inspired by this post. (Edit: fixed the link.)

Tedd stared in disbelief at the rabbit sitting calmly in
the middle of his summoning circle.

Damn it, the summon was supposed to call Alcor, dream
demon and unholy offspring of nightmares, not a tiny brown rabbit,
one that was currently sniffing the chalk circle with an air of
patient, unruffled and absolute calm.

He glared at the rabbit, crossing his arms and tapping a
foot. “How the hell am I supposed to bargain with you?” he
asked in disgust. “Where’d you even come from?” Crouching, he
took a closer look at it. “You aren’t Alcor, right? Like, in
disguise to mess with me? I heard he pulls stuff like that…”

The rabbit sat on its hind legs and sniffed the air
before scratching behind one ear vigorously. That taken care of, it
settled back on all fours and loped out of the circle, nose working
double time as it explored.

“…apparently not.”
