"She was cool. I hadn't had cause to think about her specifically until I checked for happy stabbings."

"Glad I asked, then!" says Celo.

"D'you want me to inform you once resurrection on Aurum gets that far back?"

Permalink

"Yeah!" says Celo, and Sue nods.

Permalink

"Noted," chuckles Elspeth.

"I have fallen into a social circle that has really peculiar conversations," remarks Aether.

Celo giggles, and freecasts across the room to hug her.

Permalink

Huggles.

Huggles and snuggles!

"Awww," says Sue. "Can I hug you too?"
Permalink

"Sure, why not."

Permalink

Sue also freecasts directly to hug.

Aether giggles and hugs him too.

Harley thinks Sue a question.

"Oh hey," says Sue, "what's your opacity situation? Also, Harley wants to hug you."

"I'm a subtle artist - psion - I can defend really effectively against other subtle artistry but it doesn't work on arcane or divine mind-affecting magic from home so I really doubt it works on much outside Materia unless it's very similar to what I do. And Harley may also hug me."

"I ask 'cause I've got this mutant power, I can link minds, and it doesn't work on some of you but the ones it does work on are okay with it," he says. "And Harley's having serious word trouble right now, so he's talking by link."

Harley looks at Aether and her huggy jokers, and then he also freecasts there and also hugs her.

Hugs. "Can do that, or I could shallow-read him directly."

"Linking also comes with some boosts," Sue adds, and demonstrates by adding her to the link. With him, Celo, Harley, and Elspeth already there, the cognitive speedup and expansion is very noticeable.

Permalink

"Oh, that's nice."

Permalink

"Ain't it just?" laughs Sue.

"As long as we're all extra brainful - right now my best idea for having a Janepoint in Materia that I can ever leave is 'acquire daemon, separate to split aura, leave him home' - I don't even know yet what I'd get. I might wind up having to skip a lot of parties and stuff if I don't want the place desynced. Which is not the worst thing that could have happened, but isn't tremendous fun."

"I'm pretty sure it'd work if you did," says Sue. "I leave Ivy home when I freecast anywhere."

"Isn't separating, like, nasty, though?" says Celo.

"Yeah," says Sue. "But people do it anyway."

"Amariah did it the long way around, I might be able to get it over with quick by walking through a Milliways door or having Jane put me somewhere, almost like Cam did. It's doable if necessary. I might just not have a Janepoint, only my gem that I'll wear all the time - if it turns out Emily can do doors like Jarvis. And then Materia will be synced when I'm home, and not synced, but paused, when I leave it."

Permalink

"That also seems like a pretty good workaround," says Celo. "Assuming it doesn't just decide to unpause because fuck you. Can worlds do that? If worlds can do that, I bet ours can."

Permalink

"I might need to ask Glass to come in well within the protection of my aura and see if she can tell. I don't think I really want a - I don't even know what I'd have -" She spends a square to get an illusion. "...I still don't even know what I'd have, what the hell."

"Ooh, pangolin," says Sue. "Those are cool."
