Summoning Procedures | A L C R Y S T

Winter has frosted Alcryst like the cold blush of a corpse, hardening every surface with frigid ice searing through the depths of its heart. The plants are lethargic and slow, the sky is desaturated and dull, and the wind is a violent gale ripping apart flesh and soil alike.

Summoning Procedures

An X marks the spot of every treasure, the crossroads no exemption. The veil of the otherworld is thin where four paths meet, allowing entry to what folk tales call "demons." They do not display any blatant malevolence; they offer only a glimpse into your own memories or scenes from another's eyes... but if the truth proves unpleasant, remember--you did make a deal with the devil.

[PTab=Your History]

To view an event from your character's history, it must first be written in Recital as either their standalone recollection or as a roleplaying thread involving other writers. Whatever its form, the event must be singular; it may not span between days or across locations, rather acting as a unified scene.
Your character will fully relive their memory in their own perspective, from what they heard and saw, to what they felt and thought.
To summon a demon, create a thread in Marl Deck with the label "Summoning" using 200-400 words to describe your character burying 15 coins and a piece of their own biological material, such as hair. Include the link to your Recital thread. Finally, post in Invocation for staff attention.
Staff will remove your coins and verify that your Recital meets the following standards:

The Recital thread is finished and covers only 1 event.
There are no violations of site rules. For example, mentioning lands beyond Alcryst or claiming your character was once the official king of Faewin.
The facts of your Recital thread do not contradict the history facts in your character's biography, should their timelines coincide.

Once your thread is verified, staff will declare the demon officially summoned, who touches your character to invoke a vision. Proceed to roleplay your character either reliving the event or simply reacting after it has already concluded. If you wish to continue roleplaying, inform staff in your original Crossroads post, otherwise they will archive your thread by default.
You may only view your own history or another character's history through this system once every 7 days.

[PTab=Their Threads]

To view another character's event, it must be present in an archived IC thread and cannot be warded from spying, such as through the alchemical potion "Seal."
You may only witness 1 post at a time and will experience it through your target's eyes; you cannot watch the scene from a third party perspective or experience their feelings, thoughts, emotions, or physical sensations. The event is purely visual and auditory.
To summon a demon, create a thread in Marl Deck with the label "Summoning" using 200-400 words to describe your character burying 15 coins and a piece of their target, such as hair, in the center of the crossroads. You must include the following information:

Link to a post where your character procured the piece of their target in an actual IC thread. To obtain the post's direct URL, click "options" at the top right of the post, select "link to post," and copy from the field titled "link to this post in this thread."
Include if you are using the item "Mark Deck Choice" from the Underground to choose a specific post.
Link to the thread you desire to witness. If you are using an item to choose a specific post, you must link to the post directly.

Next, post in Invocation for staff attention.
Staff will remove your coins and then post a dice with the number of faces equivalent to the number of posts authored by the target in the given thread. The face rolled will determine which post in the given thread your character will observe if you have not applied an item to specify.
Once the post has been chosen, staff will declare the demon officially summoned, who touches your character to invoke a vision. Proceed to roleplay your character either living through the event or simply reacting after it has already concluded. If you wish to continue roleplaying, inform staff in your original Crossroads post, otherwise they will archive your thread by default.
You may only view your own history or another character's history through this system once every 7 days.
