An Unexpected Summon

"Cavu!" it echoed through the cellar, a little friendly bark as it's fluffy ears perked, absolutely unphased by the warlock's attempt at banishment. "....what?" Safrona muttered back in abject confusion.

{ A commission for @nehku, featuring their OC Cavu and Safrona! Got carried away and decided to canonize the association, and wrote a story that pertains to it! Full story is below the line. }

Where the hours of a deepening night might settle into quiet comfort for the ground floor of the Elysian Sojourn, very few souls would be allowed to search the deep cellars a long walk below. Past winding stone cellar paths, past fortified stone walls, stacked casks and barrels in organized rows. Past mirrored doorways that only recognized those souls marked for entry by the Perished, a lowly-lit lair of forbidden art could be revealed, and altar walls dedicated to entities of dark necessity.

Safrona stepped back with an uncertainty from the summoning circle on the stone cellar floor, even as it's light began to dim, deeming the calling by the warlock a success. No doubt, it was a circle that had served the Harvester sufficiently before now, pulling minor demons and entities through the Nether by their name. But the one that walked from her circle now was unrecognized. It wore a skull of its own kind on its own head. A precious soul crystal was in its paws in offering. To her?

Its tail was...wagging. Happily. Like a little dog, or something of the sort. It was too happy for a demon. And strangely...cute? Immediately suspicious. Its appearance had caught Safrona so off guard she had delayed the banishment she had meant to impart. Her fingers snaked out to entrap the strange little demon in the quick invocation...and the banishment fizzled, useless.

"Cavu!" it echoed through the cellar, a little friendly bark as it's fluffy ears perked, absolutely unphased by the warlock's attempt at banishment.

"....what?" Safrona muttered back in abject confusion.

It's little skull face tilted one way, and then the other, much like a canine trying to understand the sound she made in turn. Was it some strange alteration of vulpera? Were there fox demons now? It hadn't been affected by banishment. It couldn't have been that powerful. But there it was, stalled in its approach, intelligent enough to gauge her uncertainty and await her to engage instead. It held an entire soul crystal in its soft little paws, not just a shard, and it was tempting her with it.

A particular mask shivered to life in the shadows of the altar wall, otherwordly light filing its empty ocular sockets. It laughed.

"Now, here y'are, Harvesta'. Ya be summonin one o' mine now," the Loa of the Dead's very amused voice flowed through the mask. "Don'cha be rude ta Cavu dere. He be helpin' ya."

With Bwonsamdi's vouching for it, the little 'demon' was urged to continue in its approach until it stood right at the warlock's feet. The creature barely came up to her waist, and by now it was lifting the crystal far above its ears for her to take.

"Think o' dis one as a gift. Or a reminda o' whatcha owe Ol' Bwondsamdi, eh? Ya been off track, girlie. Distracted wit' all de void t'ings. Mighty distracted. Y'have dat fear y'gonna lose y'self out dere - we know. But you trust y'frien' Cavu here, he remin' ya whatcha after! He gonna help ya collect!"

"Cavu," Safrona repeated, hesitantly. An annoyance flit through her reply. "I don't think I'll need this...gift."

"Ya will accept dis boon from me, girl," the Loa spoke now as the humor drained some from his voice, vaguely threatening. "We don't wanna be discussin' revisin' ya deal, eh?"

The Harvester paused, understanding the implication made. "I see." A short inhale was made, the void elf's reply on an accepting exhale. "A new summon then."

Cavu's tail wagged with a continuous vigor as he was addressed. The little demon turned to wave a furry paw at the glowing loa mask above the altar.

"Goood, good," Bwonsamdi crooned pleasantly, "y'summon dis one when de Voices get too much, deep in de bowels of de world. When de Void try t'take my Harvesta' from me, when de Harbinga' try n' slip in ya mind, y'have my lil helpa t'help ya t'rough. Keep ta de tithe, Harvesta. Ya got souls to take." The Loa's voice dissipated at that, his mask once again growing inert above the altar.

Safrona at last took the soul crystal from the little 'demon's paws, and Cavu pat her hands in the interim, as if to reassure the warlock.

Mom helped me put on my ankle braces for the first time today. She did a good job. I was able to walk outside well. The braces provide me support, protection, and stability, for being born with Cavus feet. I don’t feel pain with them on.

My backstories and headcanons about the Hat Kiddos (TW: mentions of child abuse, neglect, child kidnapping and child murder, premeditated and otherwise

Caitlyn (1HT Hat Kid).

Had a pretty rough childhood, her parents divorced when she was about 78 years old (in her home planets time) her father would have custody and her mother would have to pay child support. Instead Caitlyn's mother took her and ran away to an isolated spacestation and turned possessive and abusive, eventually Caitlyn stole a recently decommisioned yacht to escape her mother's torment. Her father thinks she is dead and her mother went insane, what happened to her is unknown.

Caitlyn met Bow Kid in preschool and both became good friends and the two would keep in touch until Bow began her pilot training (around the same time Caitlyn was kidnapped) and the two would move on from each other, eventually though the two of them would reunite and they would have their shared adventure on Terra at the ages of 168 and 168 (about 12 in Terran years) respectively. Bow would perish in an interstellar accident delibrately caused by Caitlyn's mother known only as the incident of spaceport 63, Caitlyn wouldn't know of her passing until her final confrontation with 3HT Hat Kid.

Personality wise Caitlyn has mostly matured since her previous adventure and is now the alien equivelant of 15 Terran years old but has (mostly) retained her canon personality, she is experienced in her space faring shennanigans and engineering and is also really good at getting into places that she isn't allowed in.

Caitlyn is a selective mute and in her age she is more of a 'less talk and get shit done' then anything else. Caitlyn also has taken a liking to more brutish melee weapons like baseball bats, clubs and crowbars although guns are a close second as she can carry a ridiculous amount of weapons and ammunition on her person.

Caitlyn enjoys gaming, drawing, knitting and riding on her RUMBI unit, she also enjoys hitting the range and has a secret interest in military history. Caitlyn also has a Memory walking ability (explaining the events of Habboi's custom levels).

Caitlyn's physical strength is nearly immeasurable which not only allowed her to perform her feats of strength during her adventure but also allowed her to whoop Cavus so badly he became a black mass stuck in a jam jar in Caitlyn's freezer.

When the cataclysm occured it knocked Caitlyn's ship out of atmosphere and it ended up exploding due to the fuel tank cooking off (and unintentionally halting the Cataclysm), killing RUMBI and flinging Caitlyn and Jar Cavus out and into the sea where they washed up on the shore of 1HT Mafia Town (which had been melded with both the barbour and Calcite). Caitlyn was blamed for the whole Cataclysm and had to skulk around the area with gun and crowbar in hand before being pardoned by the town following a fight with the 2HT Mafia Boss and a corrupted Proto Kid.

Natalie (2HT Hat Kid) and Proto Kid.

Both have lived in Calcite for all their lives, Natalie was born to unknown parents and Proto was created by tim the CEO of Time in order to serve him. 2HT Bow moved here with her family when Natalie was around 3 and the two became good friends.

Natalie shares Caitlyn's personality minus a decently sized chunk of trauma.

Proto is more serious than Natalie and is generally more level headed, always focused on the task at hand. The problem is she is terrfied of failure since unlike Natalie she was created to serve, not born to a loving family.

It has been a few months since Tim's first meltdown.

Proto, Natalie and Bow had the privalidge of being under Tim's protection when the mafia arrived, 2HT Mustache Girl (or Mu) wasn't lucky. They also had the privalidge of being the first to explore 1HT Mafia Town just after the cataclysm.

Proto was the first to accuse Caitlyn of causing the cataclysm and caught up in pursuing her that Caitlyn literally shoved her in a freezer (alongside Jar Cavus) when the two forgave each other following Caitlyn's pardon.

Like Caitlyn, Natalie is really damn strong but like young Caitlyn her strength is RNG based. Proto isn't though and has to rely on agility.

Natalie does talk but is often shy, 2HT Bow does all the speaking and Proto never speaks (its kinda a 'I have no mouth and I must scream' situation).

3HT Hat Kid

her origins, real name and story are unknown but she is known to be 168 years old (or 12 in Terran years), meaning she shares Natalie's age. Unlike Natalie However 3HT Hat Kid is a huge piece of shit, forged by the world around her.

Singlehandedly abused the power of all the Time Pieces in order to make herself God, fuelled by years of repressed rage and anger she mashed three universes together and became a god in her quest to reset things to give herself a better life.

It is unknown how she ended up this way but due to 3HT Snatcher also surviving a rough guess can be made.

Following her defeat, 3HT Hat Kid layed low for a while before having the unfortunate exprience of encountering a certain thoroughly pissed off old Timeline keeper by the name of Lady Puella who proceeded to butcher the child in a manner so horrific that it would make death by Vita Carnis Harvester look tame in comparrision.

Cavu and Malum (drawn by mod peach im just posting them) - Mod Fish

[lostmorals]

it's hard for him to get pass her crass response. he might have been the one to cause this whole thing, but that doesn't mean he's completely heartless. there were some emotional problems in his engagement with her sister, as well as some intimate ones. their love wasn't strong enough to keep him faithful. however, that doesn't mean he's comfortable with the fact that she was now marrying his brother. "oh, and you're faithful, huh? i bet you would have gone through with it even if you'd known who i was."

"em's free to do what she wants." or in this case, who she wants. "i've already had one cavus brother in my mouth. i wasn't that impressed so i think i'll pass. besides, i'm seeing someone now." yeah, her therapist. not anyone romantically. but, ayden didn't need to know that.

[angeltreasure]

I had over 5 x rays taken of my ankles and feet. Turns out, I was born with high arches! Doc gave me custom ankle braces, a prescription for custom orthopedic shoes. This is such a relief to know why I have the swelling and pain that I do when I walk too much! Thanks be to God for these doctors, thanks be to God for no broken bones or anything. Thank be to God for knitting me together in my mother’s womb, I will give all this suffering and glory up, united with Your Son Jesus Christ on the Cross.

“Treasure Chest Opened! You acquired six silver pieces, a cup of milk, two pieces of worn wool, and a shadowgem of common quality.”

Safrona stared with a slow shake of her head at the contents brought to her by her newest little demonic acquisition. Cavu delightedly lifted up the shadowgem and handed it to her, eyes glowing in the recess of his skull-mask with a certain victory.

"...this is not a soulgem though, Cavu," she informed the demon. His ears fell in sadness, shuffling back over to the random treasure chest that he had discovered. Gently, he began to tuck the shadow gem back where he'd found it, next to the cup of milk.

Truly, this little demon was unlike any of her menagerie.

"Yes, well, disappointment's a part of the mortal condition I'm afraid," the void elf smirked as his very sad little countenance was observed. "I didn't say you couldn't pick up the chest and take it with us, though. A resource is a resource."

All at once, the entire body of the little fox-skull demon perked up, happily hefting the little chest and its very mundane items into its arms, and waddling with it back to the Warlock.
