3 Excellent Reasons to Set Up Wards Before You Summon - #2 Will Shock You!

Summary:

Reimu: What did you accidentally summon.
several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): exactly one (1) evil spirit
Reimu: I'm coming over.

In which Reimu is a broke college student and a spirit worker with something of a specialty in performing exorcisms, and Marisa is a university dropout who practices witchcraft, works in a metaphysical shop, and drives what may be a car if you squint at it long enough. Mima is there, too.

Notes:

Alternate title: Gay Witchcraft

The modern gay occultism AU you've probably not been waiting for, but is here anyway. Takes place in an unspecified, totally-not-American western country; Reimu and Marisa are both still Japanese, both college aged, and both incredibly silly.

I'm a practicing witch, and so a lot of the stuff shown is based on my own knowledge and experience, but with some fictionalization, of course. The teen rating is mostly for swearing.

Chapter Text

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): ey so uh, reimu. gotta ask you something. ya know, just... hypothetically.

Reimu: What did you do now.

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): WOW OKAY RUDE why do you just assume

Reimu: Because it's 4:47 AM, and the only reason you'd be up at 4:47 AM is if you're getting into trouble.

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): ok i mean you're right but NO LISTEN i just gotta ask, like. say i was doing a pretty heavy spell, right, summonings and stuff, cast my circle and everything just to be safe, but like... i fucked up and opened the circle too soon? maybe??

Reimu: Marisa. What is it.

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): hey i said this was hypothetical

Reimu: What did you accidentally summon.

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): OKAY SO DON'T FREAK OUT
several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): like she's actually pretty cool, it's not really a problem i just figured i should maybe, ya know, consult the experts on this

Reimu: What did you accidentally summon.

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): exactly one (1) evil spirit

Reimu: I'm coming over.

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): HEY WAIT listen i'm telling you it's not a problem, she's pretty fun to talk to

Reimu: WHY are you talking to an evil spirit?? Go get some salt, set up some wards or something, I know you know how. I'll be there as soon as I can.

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): you live like fifty miles away dude how are you gonna even

Reimu: I'll figure it out.

Reimu: It really sounds like you don’t, actually.

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): i do!! why do you never believe i can handle this stuff?

Reimu: Because we’re having this conversation in the first place.

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): …..ok you make a fair point, but consider: having a little faith in me?

Reimu: Marisa, this is seriously above your usual level of work. I’m not saying you can’t handle it, I’m saying that you probably don’t really know how to. What were you even doing?

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): somehow i’m even more offended??? wow

Reimu: Please, just. I got an Uber, they should be here before too long. I’ll be there before 6 for certain. Just… stay put, and stay the hell away from that damn spirit.

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): yeah alright fine, but seriously dont just come busting in here when you do show up ok
several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): like let’s calmly assess the situation and figure shit out before we freak the hell out, ok rei?

Reimu: I can’t believe you’re telling me to calmly assess the situation. But fine. I’m going to close out of Skype to save data, so if you need me just text, alright?

several hundred bees in a cool robe (marisa ☆): got it
