[Summoning demons is forbidden in Gjallarhorn, after all, they are no longer needed to help humanity survive by fighting angels and yet... Yet for the power McGillis needs to reform the corrupt world, he has unearthed rituals and stands here, in front of a summoning circle, finishing that very forbidden ritual.]

[He's not exactly imposing.

Whatever descriptions were attributed to demons in history, this compact boy in a decidedly over-sized coat matches none of them. Well, the coat could potentially hide the spines that were mentioned in the stories, but... he seems pretty human.

Granted, he seems like a human that miraculously showed up in McGillis's summoning circle. One that just kind of stares.]

[Is this really a demon? He looks so... Small.]

Are you Barbatos?

Yeah.

[casual as fuck. and Small.]

[He's not going to underestimate someone small. He used to be the smallest of the kids his age, after all. But still, this isn't quite what he expected. He closes the book he was holding.]

My name is McGillis Fareed. I would like to make a contract with you.

[starts absently digging into his pockets- but there's nothing there. boo.

turning his attention to McGillis properly.]

What do you want of me?

Eventually? Help summoning Bael. For now? Your power. The current Gyallarhorn is corrupt. I would reform it, but I cannot do so without help.

[Kind of curiously watching, what is he checking his pockets for even.]

[the perimeters of the summoning didn't include his snacks. this is tragic.]

Gjallarhorn itself, huh. What's in it for me?

I confess I don't know what appeals to a demon.

How would you compensate a human you gave this kind of job?

Money, status, a reasonable amount of power. Is that what you want?

[kind of. wrinkles his nose.]

Food and a place to sleep. Status and power sound complicated.

[This is a very simple request?]

Certainly. I would naturally provide that. Is that really all?

I can't really think of anything else. I mean, that's on top of maintaining my body, but if you don't do that it's really your loss, so whatever.

[Already kind of wondering if he summoned the right demon for this... But maybe a demon without ambition is best.]

That's fine. I will maintain your physical form and see to your needs.

Then I'll kill whoever you tell me to.

[at least he's cooperative?]

...I see.

[Well, that was relatively painless. He offers Mika his hand.]

Then let us seal the contract.

[i can't wait to come up with a reason for his body to get fucky but for now he extends his right hand like a person who has use of it and everything, taking McGillis's.]

Mmhm.

[There's a small surge of magic and sparkles around them, flooding into both as the contract seals them together, bonding them. The magic circle dispels from around Mika.]

For now... I'll have to find something to call you other than Barbatos.

[he calmly steps out from where the circle was, but to the side rather than straight at McGillis.]

Too obvious? Well, you can call me whatever you want.

[He looks up at the ceiling in thought, than at the demon.]

Hm.... Mikazuki... Perhaps?

Does it have a meaning?

The crescent moon.

[looks. up?]

...Works for me.

Mikazuki it is. I suppose I should show you your room.
