I found a book of Sumerian numerology and spirit summoning on my coffee table this morning.

... it's a pretty good read but I'm a little worried about my roommate.

Isn't your roommate the guy made out of bugs that's on probation for trying to blow up the universe or whatever?

I think it's probation for skipping out on his last officer.

But, yes. It's Sullivan.

That's basically blowing up the universe.

Also, that's probably not great.

Sure, yeah. In a certain perspective and if you're drunk enough.

It's probably not. But he's also been into this stuff for as long as he's been alive, from the conversations I've had. I wanna try and give him the benefit of the doubt, y'know?

Ugh, yeah, he looks like the type who'd be into that.

If he summons anything that ends horribly for everyone, it's your fault.

And I'm gonna make everyone else's motorcycle robots before yours.

Yeah, well. I'm gonna try and make sure he doesn't. I'll cold clock him before it gets there. Not too many ways to get away from me, fortunately.

What? Even his? God damn it, no, I need a motorcycle robot. To live.

ESPECIALLY his. And then I'm gonna park it outside of wherever we ground him to.

Honestly, maybe we should... do more than just ground him?

Why do you and the words roommate sound familiar.

...I dunno!

Why would they?

Hell if I know.

Were we roommates in a previous life?

Also, you seem to have a whole lot of weird associations with a guy ya barely really know.

???

Like, you said you were... scared of my face earlier. And now this.

I did??

You... did, yes. Like it inspired terror in you?

Are ya alright, or just stupid?

No.

I just can't remember us ever talking that much if at all.

Occasionally we crop up in the other one's life for a few brief, shining days, and then. Well. It stops.

For some reason, I think that's best for both of us.

You sure?

Yes.

Damn.

...

Does the title have anything on it or does it describe any rituals.

Seems like there's a few in there, yeah.

...

Anything specific they try to summon.

... Not really. It's all about the stars being right, so.

Probably nothing good, if he IS gonna use it.

How's it going?

Fine.

And Lovecraft is fictional.

Fine, actually fine, or stock answer fine?

Uh-huh. Sure, I'll believe that when horror terrors from beyond the stars stop being real and I find out I'm the dream of a kid in a coma in a hospital.

Ugh, that's such a coward's answer for writing. Always going to the normal, too scared to embrace the strange.

Stock answer fine.

What he was writing isn't fiction but Lovecraft himself is. It's kind of hard to deny horror terrors from beyond the stars being real when Noriko exists.

Wanna talk about it?

Well, he's going for horror terrors I'm pretty sure. I don't know if any of us could stand another Noriko, so I'm just... following him.

Fuck no.

Burn his books then. And anything that looks even vaguely ritual-y.

... Fine. I'll be here if you actually change your mind and want to talk like an adult.

Maybe. I also don't know if he's up to anything. This is the stuff he probably read before even finding out magic was real.

What if I don't want to be an adult.

...

Then your dragon fits you perfectly.

Fuck you. Next time I see you, you're going in a body cast.

Not if the various things that actually matter succeed in killing me first.
