Not entirely the Lucifer here. It was the Lucifer from my world—and I didn't even ask him to. All I did, while looking upon my portrait, was make an idle wish that the portrait would age and grow old, while I remained as young as I did on the day Basil painted it. I never thought it could happen in the first place, let alone cost my soul.
[ Yeah, Dorian knows he should say 'don't fucking do it'. But NAAAAAAH. ]
The easiest way is to be interesting. But another way? Summoning. I don't know how to summon a demon or summon a devil, but I do know a way to talk with them: attempt a seance.
And, it just so happens, that I've actually been to a seance before and remember how it was done.
Well the general gist is that two or more people come together to call upon a spirit. Usually one person acts as the medium for the spirit to talk through. It's usually often used for grieving loved ones or things like that; 'let's call up Uncle Jim to tell him I love him.' It's not limited to just spirits however. The one I went to called forth some sort of ancient Hebrew demon and I've heard of one that summoned an Egyptian god.
[ Dorian frowns, as he continues thinking. ]
I'd be the best candidate for a medium. After all, I'm a target for this sort of nonsense and I doubt you'd want word of this to get out to other people. The seance that I went to used summoning text from an old occult book...I'll ask around to see if there's anything like that which might be of use, I've got people in the rare book circuit.
[ of course, it ended with someone getting possessed by a demon and Dorian getting hit by a car BUT LET'S NOT TELL MARK THAT. ]
In my experience, fire's a good way to get rid of anything possessing you. We'll have something on stand-by should things go south. Of course, the most likely thing is that nothing will happen...but wouldn't it be amazing if something did?
