If shit really hits the fan we can always light up some cigarettes.
[tobacco was used to dispel evil and purify areas in some cultures, after all. Vincent's careful to offer this up as strictly the last of all resorts, however - mostly because he's absolutely certain that after this stupidity is over he's going to need to inhale whatever's left of the carton himself. never in his life has he regretted taking advantage of a free opportunity as much as now.
he's already digging through his pockets for the appropriate items, even as Kit systematically destroys the possibility of this gambit actually succeeding. the notebook, a pen, and his lighter, just in case they decided that a little fire might be necessary. they didn't have candle or incense, but they could substitute some more notebook paper or items from the trash for that.
it's been so long since he even thought about these rituals. so many of the details have just passed straight from his mind into the lost parts of his memory. the thought strikes him with a surprising pang of bitterness.]
We'll just have to infuse it with especially strong energy to make up for what we don't have.
[it's a sardonic sort of comment as he hands his contributions over, but there's some genuine merit in the idea. tools were only as effective as the ones wielding them. even with a broken means of defense, they could still pull out a victory.]
