I know so much more about the fiction community now, like who to go to for demon slaying. Also I don't have a recording of Vincent's song, but I do have a transcription of the lyrics.

"Beep beep boop boop

Meow meow meow meow

Tezcatlipoca is epic and cool

Play Pikmin"

Turns out eating ice cream and giving in to the urges it gives you doesn't make you a master lyricist, but it has some important messages you should listen to.

I’ve heard that if you stand in the crossroads at midnight and say ‘Tezcatlipoca’ three times that a demon will come to bargain with you for a shiny fiddle made of gold.

That's what happens when you say 'Charlie Daniels' at the crossroads three times, get your facts straight. Or when you bring Guitar Hero accessories to the crossroads. Or a fiddle made of silver to the crossroads. They really overestimated the demand for gold fiddles.

Well, what happens when you say ‘Tezcatlipoca’?

Nothing, not everyone shows up or causes something when you say their name, too predictable. I should know since I try it regularly, no dice.

I’ve tried and failed to summon a lot of Substack writers that way too. You think saying someone’s name three times would have more of an effect on them.

Anyway don’t say ‘Scoot’ three times next to electronics or the Scoottleswarm comes. And I summoned Vincent mid ice cream induced jam session once, ugh. Never works the way I want it to.

“Ice cream induced jam session” that’s a nice turn of phrase.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I had a fun time going back through all of your notes looking for clues about things that might lead to good stories.
