If you were at that point, the point in which you would in fact have to take a demon head on, who would you take with you? And why? And if you answer Moloch, then I require a secondary as well. Yeah thats right, Im ready for you people.

[chaoticpsyche]

hmmmm I would say Moloch and as a secondary probably Kadesh or my Aunt just so I can trip her and watch her get eaten....  I wouldn't trip Kadesh or maybe Oni.. or Muerte, possibly Angelus.. I'd invite everyone That way we could have bbq afterwards...

The reason I would take Moloch is cause he could probably just flick it and it would die.. Kadesh so we could eat popcorn and watch and I'd have doritos with any kind of dip Moloch wanted just so he could enjoy it afterwards. Oooo and I'd have everyone there so that we could sit and talk.

All I would bring is myself, because that is all I would have to lose. That is the only thing that can be used in my favor or against me. I limit the playing field to gain an edge.

I am not going to kill a demon, I am not going to take one on unless I have to. I would prefer to leave the area and not confront one. But if I had to, it would be banished to the abyss. (the abyss is a plane of nothingness, it is not pleasant)

This may sound like it is fun and easy but don't try it. That is all I am disclosing on that. You are better off running away and calling a more experienced individual.

  The same for myself (though there are few who I would quantify as more experienced than myself)

[Moloch]

Funny, something tries to attack me in my sleep last night, and then I wake up several hours later to find this topic....

Oh yeah, the thing that attacked me lost, and its sender is probably curled in a fetal position somewhere.

see?!?!? This is why Moloch would be the first person I would message! You probably flicked it and it died... O___O

[Angelus]

I usually find if you rely on someone else, they screw up. And I haven't done years of studying and research and paranormal investigations not to rely on only me.

[ViciouslyMe]

I can understand relying solely on oneself, I really can, but it seems like you should also have a few people that you can rely on. Going at things alone is dangerous, and I dont think anyone can disagree there. It doesnt hurt to have a friend on the sidelines, atleast as a last resort. Plus, yall help those who seem unable to help themselves. Advise them not to do things dangerous, or some things to not do without help. Even if its only some sort of material thats aiding, its still help. Hell, atleast name someone whos advice yall would take into consideration.

I completely agree with Angelus but if i had to have an aid of some sort I would choose my brother, we have been through alot of paranormal together so i trust him to know what to do in the case that I don't.

[Anaya]

I have a group of people that I work with daily (be it from discussion of techniques or actual 'battle' for lack of better terms) on things paranormal. So, the first I would call is my blood-bound sisters and brother. I won't go with just one other; I'll get myself a gaggle of gals and a pimp to be my back up.

If from the site... insert shrug here. I don't know everyone well enough to say from the site but toss me a knowledgeable one or nudge me two nooblets to teach and I'll be ok.

[ViciouslyMe]

It doesnt have to be from the site Anaya, so your first answer was a good one. And Tronth with his brother, it does make it a bit easier for it to be family. I imagine yall would know what to expect from one another, verbal direction not always necessary.

  Easier for whom?  You or said Demon.  One thing to remember when dealing with entities such as these are that your emotions are of more value to it than your flesh.  Most who have people they care to have with them in such a situation would also be the ones who would worry/fear for the safety of their companions.  The same would be true of their companions.  You give anything to these beings and you have taken your first step in loosing.  If and that's a big "IF" I were to take anyone it would be a small (2-3 others) group that I have never personally met and have zero attachment to or they to me.  We would go in with one thing in mind, each of us doing our jobs as the professionals we are to accomplish a single goal.  The banishment of said being from our plane of existence.  (Yes I know I did not say kill for I still hold true that such as these can not be killed by us, thwarted for a time yes, but not killed.  However saying that I would like to point out that any victory is still a victory)

[ViciouslyMe]

Yes, your emotions are of value to it. But, and this is purely in my opinion, I think controlled emotions (not controlled to nothing, but rather controlling what emotions) can be of great value when going against an entity.

Why do you say that the ability to control emotions is of value?

[ViciouslyMe]

Honestly? I dont know. I mean I figure there are entitys that feed off certain emotions. Controlling said emotions would help, though be it in ways that everyone would advise a person not to. Maybe to lure something away from a loved one, especially if said loved one cant handle it. Also I just feel like, and this is just me talking, emotions can back whatever it is you are trying to do. Maybe not negative emotions, but positive ones I think maybe could. I mean, if there are things that feed off emotions, than emotions must hold a certain amount of power. Why cant there be a way to use that power against said things?
