"Aether," says Aether. "I'm sorry my world broke your kid."

"Thanks," Sue says wryly. "Yeah, I had to get elected world ruler, it was fun times."

Permalink

"Your world rulers get elected?"

Permalink

"Yeah. Well, technically I don't rule the whole world, but I'm working on that."

Permalink

"Cool. I was thinking maybe I'd ascend to godhood without pausing at the 'politics' step."

Permalink
"Awesome plan, if you can work it," says Sue. "Would've caused me more problems than it solved, though, and the office of the Hegemon was right there waiting for me."

Celo laughs.

"Ascending to godhood is a thing on Materia. Although it's possible my aura will get in the way of it, I don't really know how it works."

Permalink
"I think I ascended to godhood while your aura was sorta around," says Celo. "I guess we'll find out when we go back. ...And we should probably go straight to my field without saying hi to Callahan first, because I'm not totally sure she won't randomly decide to kill me now that I'm a big enough target."

"What," says Sue.

"You could withdraw your aura and hope she doesn't notice. I think the door will take us right back to that part of Emily whatever we do, though we can teleport to your field immediately after going through if you like."

Permalink
"...Could you go through, and go to my field, and I could Jane there?" he wonders. "Or freecast. I'll freecast there."

"Is that the word for it now?" says Sue.

"I like it," says Celo. "Kinda gets the point across, doesn't it?"

"I guess we can do it that way. At least the epic part of my aura does withdraw. I wouldn't want to be brandishing that around Callahan either."

Permalink

"I know, right?" laughs Celo.

Permalink

"Whatever Glass says about torching having absoluteness that would stand a chance against even the causal irregularity. Yeah."

Permalink
"Seriously," says Celo. "I don't know from this causality shit, but I know from Callahan."

"I'm getting the sense that this Callahan is a fun character," says Sue.

"Sure, if you like getting stabbed in the gut," says Celo.

"Who doesn't?" says Sue.

Aether rolls her eyes and raises her hand.

"I haven't tried it personally, but I have many negatively valenced memories of it and very few positive ones," remarks Elspeth.

Permalink

"And let me guess," says Sue, "most of those are from us?"

Permalink

"Most of them, yes."

Permalink

"Who are they from that's not us?" wonders Celo. "Should I be meeting any of those people? - Stop me if this isn't a thing you want to talk about."

Permalink

"Not wanting to talk about things is not usually a thing with me. There's a case of triumph from a fellow who managed to commit seppuku before the vampires got him and was only barely alive when Aro reached him, a case of pain asymbolia, and one masochist who might have approached your level."

Permalink
"Just one?" laughs Celo.

"Anybody we know?" wonders Sue.
Permalink

"No, I don't think she was a template."

Permalink

"What was she doing getting stabbed in the gut?" says Celo.

Permalink

"Fighting off Mongols. She even succeeded, survived the stabbing, and lived another three years before being eaten by vampires."

Permalink
"I think I like this lady," says Celo.

"I think I do too!" says Sue.

Harley giggles.
