Inconvenient Summons	comment	You know how phone calls can come at the most inopportune times? Well, imagine instead of just ringing, it physically teleported you mid-action to the location of the caller. You'll be lucky to be fully clothed, and that's ignoring what dull or dire situation the caller wants you to help them solve. This is the case of the Inconvenient Summons. The summoned character may be a genie with an impressively well stocked lamp/home, a summoned entity with his/her/its own life on their home plane, or even a human courtesy of some kind of Teleportation / magic. Potential interrupted activities can be anything, but a few common ones include: Sleeping — Expect the summoned to be in a nightgown and cap. A romantic date — The summoned will usually be about to kiss. Eating — Situations vary whether the meal comes with them or not. At a party — Will be holding a cocktail or hors d'oeuvre, probably halfway to their mouth. The shower — Usually some amount of strategically placed soap bubbles/shower curtain also come along. Or worse, the toilet. Reading — Usually just when they got to the good part. Something vitally plot important — Yeah, Nice Job Breaking It, Hero This trope is a leading cause in summoned sidekick snarkery. For some reason the reverse is rarely true — that the summoned character gets pulled out of a sticky situation. This trope can be seen as something of a deconstruction of the idea that the summoned character has no life or existence while un-summoned. Unless the character is literally created from nothing, or taken from/put in an empty timeless void, they've got to be up to something all that time. For a (slightly) less annoying badly-timed communications, see Kinda Busy Here. Can also overlap with Interrupted Bath, where your basic shower/bath gets interrupted by an event. May result in a Balking Summoned Spirit.

In the debut episode of Genie's Love Interest Eden, she and Genie are just about to kiss after their first date when she hears someone summoning her by rubbing the bottle she's bound to. And unfortunately it's not her master Dhandi, but Abis Mal, who had stolen her bottle.

Inconvenient Summons / int_28887316	comment	Part of what made the odd pairing of Cable & Deadpool a possibility is that after a mishap that mixed their genes, Cable's teleporter identifies the two of them as the same person, so whenever Cable teleports somewhere he not only brings Deadpool along for the ride no matter where he is and what he is doing, but the process physically merges them. Luckily they both possess Deadpool's Healing Factor, so separating is unpleasant but non-lethal.

Inconvenient Summons / int_2b4ed8de	comment	Yo-kai Watch: Happens often in the anime, but the most striking example is the human-dog-yokai Manjimutt, who got arrested for a few minor offenses. However, he eventually ends up getting thrown into Alcatraz because Nate kept summoning him from Jail, much to Manjimutt's annoyance, which the police mistook for him trying to break out. After Nate summons him for the third time, only for his summon to bring not only Manjimutt but his entire cell, he realizes that it's probably best to not summon him again until he's finally out of prison. The manga also does this. Nate summons Jibanyan at the worst times. Sometimes he's pulled out of a concert, or starving to death, or he just lost another fight with a truck, and so on.

Inconvenient Summons / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: Inverted in "The End". Castiel wants a meeting with Dean, who rather testily informs him that as a mortal he needs to sleep, say for four hours. Exactly four hours later Cas teleports Dean to his location, just as he was about to be killed by Zachariah. A variation in season six. The Winchesters "summon" Castiel multiple times when it's not especially convenient (he's fighting a civil war in Heaven), but the summonings are merely requests for help through prayer and don't force Castiel to show up — he just chooses to help them. Occasionally the reason they call him down even ends up helping him with the war effort. One notable inconvenient instance, however, is Sam calling him down while he's in the middle of a battle, getting him to show up by lying to him, and essentially wasting his time while they argue. In Sam's defense, he doesn't have his soul at the moment, so his judgement is rather impaired. A hybrid of convenient/inconvenient occurs in the season six episode "Frontierland". Castiel sends Sam and Dean back in time so they can acquire phoenix ashes, which they need to kill Eve, the Mother of Monsters, then plucks them back several hours later, noting that they have a limited time window because if they're gone too long, he won't be able to get them back. Unfortunately for them, they are just about to get their hands on the ashes when Castiel grabs them — fortunately for them, Castiel grabs them in time to avoid losing them in the timestream. Also fortunately, Samuel Colt got a hold of the ashes for them and left orders for them to be stored over the next century and delivered to the Winchesters the same day they return.

Inconvenient Summons / int_49ad83ee	comment	In World of Warcraft, many of the Warlock's summoned demons imply that they have much better things to be doing than attacking on the Warlock's behalf. Warlocks can also summon other players, though the inconvenience is lost as the player in question must accept the summon. The demonic minions' opinions of their summoning tend to differ, however. Some minions, like the Wrathguard, are soldiers who are trained to follow commands. Others, like the Voidwalker and Voidlord, are stoic and take their summoning in stride (though they are visibly relieved when you send them back). Yet others, like the Fel Imp, seem to actually enjoy the summons, since it's like spending quality time with "their favorite warlock" (Of course, this is likely just flattery, since they've realized that the faster they cooperate, the faster they'll be returned).

Inconvenient Summons / int_4d9653ef	comment	Canonically (by Planescape rules), the other end of extraplanar summoning spells is visible and called "spell crystal" for distinctive look. Non-eligible beings can simply grab one and later throw it at someone else, but planars (including planar PCs) tend to scatter and run away if they see any, because very few can tell to what sort of creatures the spell is attuned, let alone the circumstances on the other end. One of few advantages Primes (normal mortals) have is being non-summonable except via strong individual link.

In Left Behind (2000), this results in a multi-vehicle accident on the road when a tractor trailer truck driver, who is a Christian, is suddenly taken up.

Inconvenient Summons / int_5e15e203	comment	Ace Online permits "summoning" in form of M-Gear's "Call of Hero". This allows the M-Gear to summon any member of his/her formation teammates. 7/10 times, this is useful, since either: A) both players agreed in advance on where/when he/she is going to be teleported, and B) the summon gives a dialog box so the to-be summoned player can refuse said call. That last point is also its weakness: someone accomplishing something important is requested to be summoned, but he refuses, and it turns out the summoner also needs critical help. The inconvenience only comes from lack of communication and is otherwise convenient to teleport in firepower or teleport teammates away from danger.

Inconvenient Summons / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: The spell summon monster summons a creature from another world and compels it to fight for the caster for the duration, sending it back (unharmed — it is stuck in transmission and "projected" into our world) when the spell ends. With the abundance of dimensional travel, it is possible for a mage to meet the same creature later, and it is unlikely to be happy. More amusingly, since the spell always summons from worlds other than the one it is cast in, and always combat-capable creatures, a mage from another world may well end up summoning the PCs' party. AD&D spell succor enchants a statuette in the caster's likeness so that when it breaks the caster is immediately summoned. A great, if obviously double-edged commodity. Canonically (by Planescape rules), the other end of extraplanar summoning spells is visible and called "spell crystal" for distinctive look. Non-eligible beings can simply grab one and later throw it at someone else, but planars (including planar PCs) tend to scatter and run away if they see any, because very few can tell to what sort of creatures the spell is attuned, let alone the circumstances on the other end. One of few advantages Primes (normal mortals) have is being non-summonable except via strong individual link. In Al-Qadim, genies can be summoned and charmed to service mortals, but must use the target's personal item in addition to the summonee's debt on a Magically-Binding Contract with geniekind — that is, it's limited almost exclusively to sha'ir, and relatively few sha'ir at that. Adventure S4 The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. The demon lord Graz'zt was at a crucial moment in a battle against a group of monsters in the Abyss when he was summoned to the Prime Material Plane by the archmage Iggwilv. He battled free at the cost of being confined to his home plane for a century. Baleful blink spell from 3.5 edition Players Handbook II uses this to cause inconvenience. It's much like a normal blink, but makes the target trying to do anything rapidly shift to border Ethereal plane and back, so that half of the time spells (except force-based or cast on oneself, of course) go off at the wrong plane and weapons move right through where the foes stood. One version of the spell refuge enchants an item so that the caster is teleported to it when the item is broken. The caster gets no choice in the matter.

Inconvenient Summons / int_b962c879	comment	Fairy Tail: Whenever Lucy summons Aquarius, she'll complain that she was on a date or otherwise busy. Aquarius is annoyed enough by this to try and kill her at some points. A variant: when Lucy tries to summon Leo to save them in Edolas, since he was on a date at the time, he sends Virgo, who is utterly useless in the fight for some reason (as Virgo is normally an Action Girl). The series tries to defy this, as Celestial Wizards are supposed to work out contracts with their spirits to determine the proper times a spirit can be summoned. This is sometimes used to put Lucy in trouble (or keep her out of it) because she can't call on a spirit that would otherwise easily end the situation.

Inconvenient Summons / int_be03a5ee	comment	Left Behind: In the book Glorious Appearing, with Jesus summoning the last remaining quarter of humanity to the Valley of Jehoshaphat for judgment (who at that point are mostly Global Community and Nicolae Carpathia loyalists), some are pulled out of various things they were doing just for the sake of being judged. For that matter, the Rapture itself during the first book and The Rapture (as well as any form of fictional work it appears in) could be considered this, as Christians are pulled out of whatever they were doing at that moment to be with the Lord, and in certain cases inadvertently putting other people into danger. In Left Behind (2000), this results in a multi-vehicle accident on the road when a tractor trailer truck driver, who is a Christian, is suddenly taken up. In Left Behind (2014), this results in Rayford Steele suddenly losing his co-pilot in midflight from New York to London. Which leads to the bumper sticker slogan: "In case of Rapture, this car will be unmanned."

Such as Morgana the Fallen Angel being summoned while she's baking, creating the "Sinful Succulence" Skin (her intro image shows the summoning caused her to burn her cookies), and Twisted Fate and Evelynn's Tango skins are apparently them being summoned while out on a date with each other. In Ezreal's early lore, he never officially joined the League of Legends. He was there only because his amulet was linked to summoning magic, meaning he could get yanked from whatever he was doing without warning.

Inconvenient Summons / int_d7c4626a	comment	The Sandman (1989): The whole plot of the series is kicked off by this, as Dream is summoned in place of Death right after he was returning home from doing battle in another realm. The fight left him weak, or he would never have been so easily captured or held for so long. Played very much for drama: Nuala picks an awfully bad time to use her crystal to summon Morpheus. However, the later discovery that Morpheus was likely a Death Seeker who set up the situation so that he could be "forced" into certain death without explicitly abandoning his responsibilities would avert this trope. Notably, when she contacts him and asks him to come, while he does say that the timing is "exceedingly inconvenient", and "most earnestly beseech(es)" her not to demand his presence (which he could technically refuse, but never would because he gave his word) he doesn't actually tell her that obeying her summons could kill him until after he arrives, even though he had time to do so and she would certainly have relented if he had.

Inconvenient Summons / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: The episode where Picard and the Captain of metaphor/allegory-speaking aliens are isolated on a hostile planet together. Picard and the alien captain are fighting a large hostile native predator together when the Enterprise is finally able to break through the interference and beam him out, leaving the alien captain to face the beast alone. In the seconds it takes for the captain to get himself beamed back down, the predator has done some serious damage to his new buddy. In another episode Picard's alleged son is beamed aboard while on a spelunking adventure of his own. An example occurs when Deanna and her mother are transported to a Ferengi ship without their clothes. This is a subversion; they weren't actually doing anything except waking up from unconsciousness, and their clothes disappeared when they were again transported into the Ferengi captain's cabin (done on purpose; women don't wear clothes in Ferengi society). Discussed in "The High Ground", when Picard considers beaming Dr Beverly Crusher out of a very unsafe situation planetside despite the good doctor being up to her eyeballs in casualty triage at the time. Riker's response is a deadpan "I wouldn't wanna be in the transporter room to greet her." It gets Crusher captured and held hostage for her troubles, though being Beverly Crusher she likely wouldn't have left even if she'd known what was coming.
