"On it," he says. "This way."

He keeps walking.

"Why aren't you flying?" Cam asks.

"...I don't wanna leave 'em," he says, gesturing around him. His arm passes through a dozen ghosts. "They're so sad."

Permalink

"You don't have to fly fast, but if they're just following you because the harpy decided not to scream at you they don't need to be that close, you must be freezing."

He shrugs, and indeed shivers a little.

"It's not so bad."
Permalink
"Okay." Cam continues flying, following after Kas.

He has his aura out, and the shades notice.

"Are you here to help?" one of them asks him.

"Yes," Cam says.

Is that a winged figure in the distance?

It is!

Hello, distant winged figure!

Now to find Amariah.

"The harpies probably can't get me or her as bad as Shell Bell, but I don't want to find out experimentally."
Permalink

"No shit," says Kas, waving to Aianon.

Permalink

While Kas gets directions on where the party of three should go, Cam asks his for directions to relay to Amariah.

Permalink

It references landmarks to direct her course.

Permalink

He bounces them to her.

Permalink

Amariah obeys.

Permalink

Aianon spots her first.

Permalink
She flies over to join them.

"Now I guess we wander around looking for harpies," she says. "I'm probably an easier target than you, Cam, and you're the truthy one anyway."
Permalink

"Yeah, I'll get in front of you when we see 'em - not sure whether to expect them to flee both Jokers or if that's just Kas," muses Cam. He asks the alethiometer "Why did the harpy leave Kas alone?"

Permalink
"They cannot make him suffer," says the alethiometer.

"Whoa, really?" says Kas. "All of us?"
Permalink

"Did it say all of you?"

Permalink

"It didn't specify singular or plural, but it didn't call me what it usually does, it called me a Joker. And it meant Aianon, too, kind of."

Permalink

"Maybe you guys just... don't have a 'guilty' setting?"

Permalink

"Yeah, that's pretty accurate."

Permalink

"So I guess if I can't happify the harpies on my first try and I get wrecked - although I don't have nearly as much material as Shell Bell I don't know how much that matters - we bring in Jellybean, since wizards have harpy-happifying powers and he's a Joker."

Permalink

"Sounds like a plan," says Kas.

Permalink

"Can I fly faster than a harpy can?" Cam asks the alethiometer.

Permalink

"You can."
