>>>>>[Sorry a head of time if I slur much of this.... Kinda tired.
Multi-day summoning rituals tend to do that to a guy...go fiugre.

But she's here! Finally, she's really here, I cna't wait for you guys to
meet er. God...she's so beautiful. Her name, (nope not TrueName, like
hell I'd tell anybody that) is Seraphina. But you probably know that
already since I habe been blabbering about not much else when I wasn't
being pissed about Faerie.

I can feel her too. When we link its like touching the mind of an angel I
swear. Theo...I think I'm already beginning to know how you feel about
Ariel, not that I wasn' t this bad off before. But we're here, to gether,
in our world. God..she is so beautiful. Whoops...guess I said that
already. Fukit. I'd shout it from the top of my lungs if there was
anybody within earshot.

Heh. She's curious aobut what I'm doing right nwo. Guess spirits don't
ahve much use for terminals on the Planes.

Hello.

I got ehr to Type! She has this priceless expression on her face. I'm
like, trying to explain the rough concept of e-mail, I think she
understand the part about makig a message to send out to friends, and
that's what really counts. I'll leave the lessons on E-M for some day way
donw the road.

Man...Ihave soooooo much to show her and tell her and learn from her.

Cool...got the stills ready. I'll save you the gory details of the
summoning, besides, I'm not about to tell you anyway. The footage and the
formula is going into a deep and safe hole until I need them again.

Here's her "natural" form...and what she looks like on astral, incase you
astrally wander in here and wonder who the spirit is.

+++++include Seraph.pic

The picture seems to be, as it says, a picture of a seraph. Floating
inches off the ground, instead of modestly covering its face and feet, it
has its feathered wings spread as though it is ready to take flight. Large
flight wings extend from the middle of its back, below the shoulder
blades. Small thing wings extend from just below its neck along the spine
and spread backward. Medium wings sweep out to the sides from its lower
back, curved gracefully downward. The seraphs body is feminine, but
physically featureless. Its skin and hair is mostly pearlescent with red
and purple accents and highlights that enhance its beauty, but in the glow
of a roaring fire behind lend it a rather fearsome look. Its looks away from
the camera with eyes are a deep red through and through without pupil or
iris, and seem to glow with a faint fire of their own.

+++++end include

We agreed that if she was going to take a new form as an ally, then for
her sake it shouldn't look too much like her original or else it would be
too easy for some bastard to guess what plane she's from. But, the look
was ultimately her decision. Got good taste, don't she?

If you are so ingracious as to come in and find a girl watching over my
zonked out bod, that's her too. There was a real trick. Don't bug her,
but I am more than a little amazed at my own handiwork. Other than being
extoplasm, she's basically perfect, and I ain't going to dignify any jokes
about just how perfect she is.

+++++include SeraNme.pic

The picture is of Michael and a slightly younger and shorter girl, who
must also be Serphina. He has one arm about her waist and the other is
pointing to get her to look at the camera which she does with a
heartwarming curiousity. She is wearing a simple, but becoming red dress
that pick up the faint highlights in her strawberry blond hair. Close
inspection of the picture, if one didn't know they were looking at a
manifest spirit, would make one think that Michael and Seraphina were
brother and sister, if not fraternal twins. They share the same skin
tone, blue-grey eyes, and even have similar features.

+++++end include

Well, I've got some major sleeping to do...I just wish I had the energy to
ekep my eyes open at this point. Heh, we're both pretty tired actually.
I'm gonna crash right here, after I pack some stuff up. Do not disturb.

G'night folks. Happy Equinox.]<<<<<

>>>>>[My most sincere congratulations! I wanted to tell you this in
person,
but you were still asleep when I checked a while ago, so I'll just leave this
message for you to read when you wake up. Oh, and you'll probably have more
luck getting Seraphina to use a voice recognition/synthesizer system--the
concept of typing is apparently very hard to get if you can't really see
what's on the screen, but talking and listening are much easier. Or so Ariel
tells me. She also says that my explanation of computers and email as
something like watchers was easier to understand than the one I tried
first--of course, for all I know computer chips really *are* powered by tiny
spirits. That would explain many of my experiences with computers...

We both look forward to meeting Seraphina when you're both feeling better;
I'd suggest dinner but that would be rather redundant for half of us.]<<<<<
