Solomon crossed a leg over the other one, nodding in approval at Aamu's display. He was glad she had the physical presence to be more forward than him. Even if he was pointy and bony, he was only a couple feet tall. Not exactly the type of build one can use to intimidate. Even if they did say no, sending them back wasn't an option. They were stuck in this world until a time limit ran out. And if they survived long enough to get back home, they'd still be drawn in the next time whatever force had brought them here in the first place decided to show up.<br/><br/>At Joe's question, he paused. These two weren't in the type of shape necessary for the job. At first, things were going to be hard. Very, very hard. But he answered with honesty. "Yes, you do. But only if you agree to help us. If we bind ourselves to you, then you'll have a much easier time here. If we don't, then you're off to fend for yourselves. I won't lie to you, it's risky and there's a very real chance that all of us could fail miserably and die, but if we do nothing, all Hell's going to break loose." The pun was fully intended.<br/><br/>Salem pursed his lips, feeling incredibly unsure about all this. Half his mind was screaming internally and cursing whatever events of fate led up to this moment, but at the same time, he sure as hell didn't want the world to end. And besides, even if they ended up here after death, if they cleaned it up a bit it could be a really nice place. Hordes of demonic undead aside, it at least had nice aesthetics.<br/><br/>"Okay," He started, looking back up. "So what exactly do we need to do?"<br/><br/>Solomon took the helm to answer him. "Create a pact of blood. Nothing too dire, just a few drops in a special container. Once that's done, it's a fairly automatic process. The marking will hurt a bit, not too much." He motioned towards a pair of small, fancy-looking glass vessels that rested on the table behind him. They essentially looked like a typical crystal ball, but hollow and with the tops cut off. They were, however, quite magical objects. Normal humans couldn't feel it, but they were giving off a pulsing aura of some sort of energy.
