Concept: a bunch of high school Satanists get drunk in the local graveyard and try to conjure a demon, but they’re using one of those “reconstructionist” ritual books that gets its sources all mixed up, so they end up with a minor Mithraic fertility spirit that hasn’t spoken with humans in like 1700 years instead. By the terms of its binding it’s not allowed to leave until it’s ensured a successful harvest for its summoners, which is a problem, because none of these goobers have ever raised so much as a houseplant; if it wants to go home, it’s going to have to teach them how to garden – whether they want to learn or not!

#story feels #they’re city kids every last one#its not so much that the diety wants to go home#as she has a job to do and she will do it#it takes the train and two busses before the deity finds an abandoned farm to suit her purposes#the farm house is a hulking monstrosity of peeling paint#and abandoned funiture covered by ancient floral sheets#(the sheets are from the 60s and 70s so totally ancient to the kids)#the house isn’t as abandoned as the fields#there is something there with a dry whispery voice#no vandal has made a mess in the house#not one drop of paint has been sprayed #there is no wifi#no modern farm equipment#just old tools covered in rust with faded wooden handles#each drop of blood and sweat that falls to the earth #the deity claims as hers#the soil turns dark ready for seeds to be sown #which is kinda a problem#because the kids cant decide what to grow #they argue over wheat and peas#corn and pumpkins #strawberries would be nice #but one of them is allergic#the deity wanders off to take tea with the little house goblin#and the ghost that wanders the halls#she tugs at the teather binding her to this group of kids #that really hasn’t a clue#and sips her tea (tags via @typhoidmeri)
