Xankarvo notices the lady he killed.
"Huh. Must've drawn the reverse symbol by mistake and summoned the ghost to life. Nothing that can be done about that now, but I'll make some alterations that'll help in the future."
Claim credit for the lady appearing, make some more lines and such in the symbol to make it seem a bit more fancy.
You do your best to act like everything is going exactly as planned and trace nonsense symbols in the air to reenforce the idea. It's hard to tell if anyone takes you seriously.
((It's not the same lady.))
"Hello! Do you speak Space-English? Or whatever this is? Hmm, never really thought about it..."
Cheerfully greet this strange and exciting new person!
The man straightens up, squares his shoulders and then takes several steps towards you. He stops maybe a foot away and seems to be very intently examining the bottle scar.
Sebastian starts bragging about how great he is, and how likable. He runs around biting peole on the ankles, climbing up pant legs, or bare legs, and telling painful ff color puns. Once he's charged enough ... i don't know ... imagination, he tries to make himself look hideously deformed, like he has a Xan head growing out of the top of his own head. A Xan head, oriented sideways, which constantly vomits in a sad, gurgling fashion.
Edit: also, believe really hard that toaster's character is a giant dinosaur. Tell everyone this, regardless of whether they listne. Make them believe through the sheer power of bullshit entertainment.

Everyone begins to believe that you are absurdly annoying.
Walk over to somebody, and introduce myself.
"Oh, hello! I'm Dianne, one of the members of the world-famous Primettes. Nice to meet you."
"Why not? Strong heart is good heart, it would be good for me. Mommy said she needed to be strong before she ate mine. Xankarvo can make you new one!"
Try to convince this singer that me eating her heart would be good idea. Should it fail, look out for someone who looks like they wouldn't miss their integral bodyparts.
You guys seem to have handled this yourselves without me doing anything. Lovely.
Scratch myself. Watch the surroundings idly as I wait for something to happen.
Cautiously avoid the newcomer. And anyone else, for that matter.
You watch the goings on of the glass ball and his new friend from the safety of the warbeast deck.
"Swell!"
Run around and convince everyone I am a giant beast capable of ripping men in half.
That would be a lot easier if you weren't an adorable little drunk dinosaur running round slurring out lines about how "IMSA BIGGERST ANDS THA BADDEREST DINOSAURAS EBER"
Concluding that his only friend in this hell must be well and truly dead, Hyenakles stomps angrily back onto the deck. He is understandably confused to see that a strange woman with a beehive hairdo has apparently materialized on the warbeast. He approaches slowly, and pinches her on the arm.
"Hey, you. Do I recognize you?"
Feel up the new recruit like the gentlehyenaman I am. She doesn't happen to feel... venison-y, does she?
Hmm...plump and tasty but not venison.
