“I am Jason Arrowthorn, of the Nephilim. A Shadowhunter. I slay demons.”
"Most interesting. How has demon slaying going?"
“It’s…going. They never stop coming.” I say.
Something in my pocket vibrates. I pull it out. It doesn’t look electronic or mechanical. It is about the same size as my hand, black, and has more of those strange markings in rows on the front of it. The device doesn’t stop vibrating.
”Crap the Sensor is going crazy!” I say. I sniff the air,
”Rank with demonic energy…this whole place is.”
They nod. "Yeah, seems to be an interplanar hot spot or something. Taverns seem to do that for some reason." Ani explains off handedly
“Well…” I look around.
”seems like the demons aren’t doing anything harmful, and this isn’t my dimension…so I’ll refrain from killing them
They shurg. "Sure. Anyway, don't think I can return you to your dimension, not my kind of thing. That and I never got the space stone."
“Space…stone?” I say, confused.
(Are you referencing Marvel lmao???)
*Yep. Meroving possesses the Time Stone, and can borrow the Mind and Power Stone*
They nod. "Don't think about it too much, probably haven't heard of it."
“No I’ve seen enough mundane culture to understand what you are saying, but I was just confused on why you would mention it!” I say, putting my hands behind my head.
“No I’ve seen enough mundane culture to understand what you are saying, but I was just confused on why you would mention it!” I say, putting my hands behind my head.
"Because I have some of the other Stones. If I had the Space Stone, I would suspect I could send you home." They explain

Hi everyone! I'm working up the will to finalize my signature, so... I guess this will be the signature for now

I blink a few times. “oh. Different dimension. I guess that could check out.” I say, still surprised.

”I’ll find my way home eventually. Melony will come around at some point.

"Yeah, just... mmm... What do you know of warlocks?" Raphael says, producing a pen and beginning to write out a contract
"They're spellcasters right?"
Raphael nods. "Yes, they make deals with otherworldly powerful creatures in return for power. Do you how they are distinct from clerics, who pray to otherworldly powerful creatures also known as Gods?" They ask
Raphael stretches their hand before passing a beautifully inscribed contract, having finished it while the pair were talked. Covering everything from level-up requirements, necessities Raphael must take before summoning Kyes to preform a task, prohibited actions (IE Mass Murder without cause, purposely and willingly attempting to disrupt Helios' plans, etc), etc, the detailed paper is naturally a work of a being of law and order, AKA an angel.
"They make contracts." She snaps her fingers, "Like how shikigami summoner usually use talismans or hand symbols like I do." She grins

"Anyone can make a contract. A warlock's patron splits off a sliver of their... soul I guess might be the correct word, and uses that soul as a form of... engine I guess, using the natural spark within a soul to create spells. Thusly, most beings who can choose between Clerics and Warlocks choose Clerics, due to the... complications with somehow cutting off a shard of divine esscence and strapping it to a mortal. Anyway, casting without the soul bond is... like a sharp pain, in a sense, comes suddenly and might catch one off guard. Thus I flinch." Raphael explains
*This is merely head canon on why Solar's don't make warlocks more often and why God's don't either, because it involves breaking up their soul juice, feel free to ignore this if you want. Also it is why some beings want to be patrons, they become more powerful as they 'feast' on the energy created by the 'soul-engine'*
