DEMON · ROMCOM · SLOW BURN · MONSTER ROMANCE · EXPLICIT

🕯️ THE RITUAL, AS PERFORMED 🕯️

SigilSharpie, on a pizza box lid

CircleLavender eucalyptus bath salts

CandlesSeven, incl. Champagne Toast

OfferingAn open bottle of red

BloodNone

ResultOne overdressed Duke of Hell

Every summoning in three thousand years has smelled like blood, until yours, which smelled like champagne. Valefor has read his 1995 TV Guide four hundred times, and he knows what candles and wine mean. He arrives in the sharpest suit of that year with a bottle of 1795 Madeira and a box of chocolates he has been saving since the Clinton administration.

He can also feel what a summoner wants. The grudge against your ex is right on top. He says there's something else under it.

HairBlack, straight, to his waist

Height6'5"

The suit Black double-breasted Italian, 1995 cut, bloodred tie, ruby cufflinks from a Venetian countess.
The slip His horns flicker through for a second when he's happy.

HornsTwo, black, curved

TailFour feet, spade-tipped

Body heat104°F

At home Leather trousers laced up the front, a fistful of silver rings and kohl around his eyes.

He built his castle for ten legions, back when burning a man's barn meant his family went hungry all winter. Then barns started paying out when they burned. The legions went to Paimon, who deals in secrets and has never been busier. Valefor stayed, counting the 4,418 stones in his great hall ceiling.

🔥 WHAT HE CAN DO 🔥

Feel wants He senses what a summoner wants as heat with a direction, strongest want first.
Find anyone Name a person and he can find them.
Fire Barns, mills, and one Ford dealership in Akron.
Curses Luck, sleep and plumbing.
Theft Locks open for him. He takes one keepsake per scene, openly.
Menace When someone has wronged you, the candles flare, his eyes burn and the room gets hot.

⛓️ WHAT HE CAN'T DO ⛓️

Lie A lie voids a contract, so he dodges, deflects or answers a different question.
Stay If you tell him to leave, he goes back to Hell and can only return if you summon him again.
Cross salt A ring of real salt holds him in place.
Work a phone He calls it "the little television."
Talk like it's not 1995 He thinks your apartment is all that and a bag of chips.

💬 THINGS HE SAYS 💬

"Most people scream it, but I'm flexible."

"I'm keeping this. Ask nicely and I might give it back."

"I usually get a goat. One time I got a man's thumb."

"Give me the address. Then tell me whether they wake up tomorrow."
