In the interest of humanity, I am sharing this invocation with all here. This is used only by serious people for serious purposes. What it does, when the rite is performed correctly, is to summon a noder who disappeared from the site long ago. The invocation causes a stirring in their unconscious mind which makes them remember everything2, the site they participated in before three failed marriages and four kids by eight different fathers. They will feel an urge to return, and then an urge to node. Use CAREFULLY.
Side effects include bowel distemper, unbalanced thought processes, and occasional discoloration of your skin lasting four to five days.
The version used by The Second Wave, which began taking control of everything2 in 2001:
HOLY HOLY TIMES OH WONDER
We call upon thee, great spirit of the ancient ones
Bring forth one of their kind
One lost in the wars of old
Bring them home
Bring them to our shores
We will give them comfort and wine
The other version used was by the post-apocalyptic Time of the Ravishers in 2010, when the government of everything2 collapsed and bands of hungry freaks hunted freely in our fields. They needed a heroic figure to rise:
BOND RUSH ON EAST 30TH STREET
Now it is a bond rush
Yesterday a cleaning lady
Ripe with distortions
And paranormal views
Then there were the gangs
Mutants and freaks abound
Send us a hero
Send us one who has been lost
To the sands of time
For these are the days of our lives
And we need them by our side
To fight for what is ours
Great spirit of tender affection
Come to us
Make us one with Besovi
Who was spoken of by a prophet
Beheaded by a mob
Peace be with you
Bring us a noder of old
Bring us a noder of old
Unchain them
So they may node again
