[Ain finds himself thinking. This is never a good sign, because Ain frequently does not think about anything, except lately rearranging the hospital to his specifications. They are Very Bad specifications, mind; any medical personnel that could possibly have worked here at any point would flay him for his reorganization. But, in the meantime, he's made the lobby pretty and the vending machines are full of stale chips and very warm cola, and hey, sometimes that's all you need in life!
Anyway, the point is, Ain is thinking (this is still bad). After reading some books he looted from the public library and brought here instead, he's starting to understand a little bit more about what humans in this world thought about demons — which he supposes is the same thing as a Daemon, yeah? just one letter off? — and what they were said to do. Importantly, he learns about summoning rituals for them, which are different than Elrian rituals would be — on Elrios you open a portal and say "come on in" to no specific demon in particular, only really being able to lure out particularly strong ones. Here, it looks like you need candles, a sigil, a name, and intent...
Hm.
Ain spends a little bit making a sigil for himself, deep in his books at the hospital's front desk. The only light coming in is through the windows and the candlelight, which isn't Great, and largely the whole place is cast in darkness despite his best efforts... but it does make for some spooky ambiance while he reaches out to Wolfwood through the Murmur.]
Hiii Mr. Priest~. Where are you? Did you get a horsey when you woke up from the dream? Oh, and can you come to Lenox Hill Hospital near Central Park too?
