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.

Would someone explain what the answering machine is? I’ve gathered that it’s music but nothing really beyond that?

Mod S can’t remember exactly how it started, but the basic idea is that some summons get not the Great, Grand, and Terrible Alcor the Dreambender but instead get his answering machine. It’s an answering machine BUT WITH BUTT WINGS, that plays the greatest hits of the early 2000s. As sung mostly by Mabel and Soos, with occasional cameos by Stan, Pacifica, and even Dipper.

Well here it is, the first of two prompts I took for the Gravity Falls TAU ficathon as well as my first contribution to the AU overall. Hope you guys like it! 

My prompt was: the origin of the Answering Machine.

 After weeks of preparation everything was in place. The
circle had been drawn, the symbols all triple checked, candles lit- unscented,
originally they had planned on just using cinnamon but one call from Dave’s
cousin had changed that (thank goodness one of them had a demonologist in the
family), and, of course, the sacrifice had been procured. That had been the
hardest part, but then again, none of them had ever really needed to find cow
blood before. Now all that remained was to carefully speak the chant.

  “Astrum splendidum, te invoco. Invoco tuum
potentiae. Dico nomen tuum: Alcor!”

Hi! I’m the one that had the hc about the sentient answering machine (AM for short) and hat! I was surprised when you asked me what I think their names could be because I never really put thought into it. I looked some things up for what their names could be and decided to go with the star theme. The AM can be Delphini and the hat can be Coronae (or simply Hat like with Car). Most stars in the constellation Delphius have Delphini in the name and the same goes for Corona Borealis with Coronae.

Both are lovely names!

do you ever realize that with the less people dipper has tied to him (during the bad runs) the less he’d send out the answering machine? and as time goes on and he has less to do/if less people are summoning because they’ve realized summoning demons is dangerous and stupid and really shouldn’t be done in the far, far future… he’d appear more? would the answering machine basically be a myth? like “they say that sometimes a magical object appeared, that sung hymns of old that broke the mind…”

Oh my god that is beautiful.

(They say if you hear it’s music for even a second you’ll go mad. More than a minute and your soul flies from the body as a warbly male voice sings “DISCO GIRRRL”)
