"And you can't get that if your universe hates science," he says, satisfied, and starts writing.

"I think the actual obstacle in my universe might be the crystal sphere and the monsters beyond it but I'd expect most universes that let people travel the stars are sciencey ones. None of the planes known to mine have that."

"And if there are gods on a plane, but they let people travel the stars, they're probably pretty competent gods."

Permalink

"Or at least inattentive ones, which might do the trick."

Permalink

"At least for long enough that we can figure out a better plan."

Permalink

"Yeah. We can make it a priority once we're wherever to have a less hacked-together version of the spell in case."

Permalink

"Yeah. Right now, all we need is somewhere habitable - I've been designating 'like local climate' as a shortcut, see - where people travel between stars."

Permalink

"Yep. And they won't speak our language but you can probably have that sorted in, what, an hour."

"- we should make sure we land on a planet that has people, not just on any habitable planet in a world where people travel between them."

"I'm sure we could survive on magic alone without but it would definitely not be the most fun." Scribble scribble.

They wake her up about five hours later. "Bella," he says, "I'm sorry to wake you but I think we should look over this and go, now, before anything happens..."

Permalink

"- mmmkay -" She self-administers a coffee thing, rubs her eyes, squints at it.

Inhabited realm, on a planet where people can travel among the stars, climate very close to the local one, the other elements needed for a planar shift specification.

"I don't see anything wrong with it. One of us should cast it on all of us, so we don't wind up in different universes matching the specs."

"I'm low on mana," Fëanáro says. "Would you like to do it?"

Permalink

"Yeah, I can." She rereads the spell, makes sure it all sticks together in her head, accounts for all their luggage - "we're sure this is everything and everyone?"

"For now," they both say firmly.

"I'll message my parents," Fëanáro says. "But I can't tell them. They'd try to stop me."
Permalink
"Yeah."

And she closes her eyes and casts it.
