Does anyone else have a blue glyph and not know when they got close enough to their partner to turn solid blue to start with?

Why was it easier for them to appear in some places rather than others?

[Relevant to her interests.]

[sinkthe8ball]

Yes but the development of world travel played a part in it too. The portals mostly only work one way. You need a very particular magic to open one that works both ways.

[11calls]

Does it involve sacred geometry and math?

[sinkthe8ball]

Blood, symbols, pieces of dead demons. Not something I've looked too much into since I'm usually more focused on closing the portal than opening it.

[11calls]

Sorry. That just sounds more than a little bit familiar.

[sinkthe8ball]

I guess some of it should be constant across the different worlds.

[11calls]

Which is kind of terrifying. I mean, especially considering these demons, or at the very least the people summoning them are definitely trying to break down the boundaries between worlds. I don't know if they mean multiversal or like... hell but it's still a hard thought nonetheless.

[sinkthe8ball]

Definitely, hell where I come from. Though I'm not so sure in most cases it's about breaking down boundaries between the human world and hell so much as thinking that if they summon a demon they can control it and force it to do their bidding. It doesn't usually end well for the human that tries that though.

[11calls]

The people doing it have been successful so far.

[sinkthe8ball]

Success is debatable on that front. Usually, the demon eats the human or causes enough chaos that the building falls down on them literally. Just normal demon stuff.

[11calls]

Ours seem to last a long time. Time enough to like... raise the kid to be sacrificed at the proper moment normally.

[sinkthe8ball]

Uh that's a little... disturbing. [She's never heard of a newly summoned demon having the patience enough to raise a child.]

And no one's figured out how to kill them yet? Not even by accident?

[11calls]

Nope, not so far. There's like this machine thing that's supposed to remove them from people but we don't know to what end. Especially when the people doing it are so tied to the demons already.

[sinkthe8ball]

I wouldn't trust anything that's run by people with heavy ties to demons.

[11calls]

I don't trust them at all, honestly. With anything.

[sinkthe8ball]

That's always a wise plan.

[11calls]

[Alex just laughs a little bit.]

Well, that's the first time anyone has ever said that I have a wise plan. Normally it's more of an 'Alex stop!' situation.

[sinkthe8ball]

In this case it's more like Alex keep doing what you're doing. Trusting demons is like trusting the door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen to actually be what he claims.

[11calls]

Don't worry. I would never trust a demon at all.

[sinkthe8ball]

That's a good plan. A really good plan.
