to charge a crystal? A while back, a young man I met online needed a talisman to help him. Since then, he has become a member of my gaming group, and a dear friend to me and my own. His original screen name was Stealth Rogue, but he now calls himself Fallen Angel Arjun, or as we know him, Adam.
He was getting lots of advice from so many, so someone wrote this up:
"Oh, yeah...I can see it now....
LWW: ok, we're going to charge this crystal for Stealth Rogue
MH: Vikings don't need crystals! That's why the Gods gave us swords and mead!
Alyssa: let's all stand in a circle...
SSD: we don't need a circle, just get me a good piece of paper, a pen and the right offering...
Alyssa: we should have a circle, just in case
SSD: fine <grumbles> darn watchtowers, why do we need Qabbalah in this anyway, not traditional <mutters>
MH: where's the mead...?
LWW: on the hutch, same place it always is <sighs> Can we get back to business now?
Alyssa: everyone gather around, we need to cast the circle!
SSD: Fine <sigh> lemme get my water and appropriate offeings. <pulls a stack of books out of his bag> let's see, which God is best for protection...it is while he travels, so maybe it's Hermes. Hekate is also a Goddess of protection, so maybe Her. And Zeus is a protector of strangers...
MH: BURP
LWW: SSD, you're making it too complicated, just pick a God!
Alyssa: Or we could just do a general protection spell
SSD: but two of us are Hellenic Recons! The Gods won't protect us properly if we don't give them the proper offerings! Back in Ancient Greece...
Arryk: Don't forget the dragons...
SR: Can we do this before I have to get back to Jersey?
MH: URP!!!!!!!!!!!
SSD: fine. Lemme purify the space...."Hekas o hekas..."
LWW, SR, Alyssa, Arryk, and MH: Huh?
SSD: ok, fine, in English...forget it, I'll just spritz you all with water and we'll be purified <starts throwing water on everyone>
LWW: <bouncing> Amuck, amuck, amuck!
Alyssa: Did we ever close the circle?
SSD: Which God are we praying to?
Alyssa: They're all aspects of the same God and Goddess, so it doesn't matter...
SSD: no they're not
MH: Burp. What he said...
Arryk: And don't forget the Earth and Air Dragons
LWW: Can we finish this, please?
<Rest of gaming group> Are you guys done yet, we want to play!
SSD: Oh, shut up, we'll be out in a second! Now where was I?
LWW: forget it, where's the crystal?
Alyssa: right here <hands crystal to LWW>
Everyone else: What ARE they doing?
DM: ok, their characters are dead, we'll start without them!
SSD: We heard that!
LWW: ok, everyone focus your energy on the crystal and ask the Gods for help
Arryk: and the dragons...
LWW: yes, sweetie, and the dragons...Let's charge the crystal
SSD: <grumbles> no crystals in ancient Greece...<grumble>
LWW: <smacks SSD on the back and tells him to shut up>
MH: burp
Alyssa: the God and Goddess
Arryk: and the dragons
SSD: Hekate and Hermes
LWW: let's just finish
<the crystal shatters during the bickering, debating, and various energy from the Higher Powers>
SR: <excitedly> is my crystal ready?
LWW: uhh....
SSD, MH, and Arryk: <slink out the back door for a cigarette>
LWW: SSD, get back here, what did the doctors tell you about quitting smoking ?.!?.! Arryk, MH, don't you dare let him have a cigarette!
Alyssa: now, SR, it didn't quite work the way we planned..."
