Well she did offer and they said no so that's about all she can do. She goes back to shore (water: burns again!) and tries to find someone who'll talk to her.

Permalink

Seems like most people are bunking down to rest, but they posted a few lookouts and the like. They wave at her.

Permalink

She'll let them know that the boat people didn't want to deal with the amount of weirdness teleportation would be, but accepted warmth.

She'd like to go translocate to the people on the trail and offer them some warmth too; would anyone like to come with her this time so she's less alarming?

Permalink

Yeah, teleportation is a bit much for most people. Warmth is pretty great on its own.

This one woman will help her!

(She thinks it'll get her somewhere safe and warm faster, but the ulterior motive doesn't really matter.)

Permalink

Awesome. 

Scrying; translocating.

Permalink

There are three groups on the trail now! The first group has made the most progress, the second group seems to be mostly men and have been tamping down the snow and putting down signs and marking flags. The third group is pretty big, and mostly women and children.

Permalink

Big group first. 

Permalink

They're frightened by the sudden visitors!

Her volunteer steps up and explains loudly that Aye there has magic teleporting powers! This is not exactly reassuring.

"I don't know about magic, but I know trails. We can follow the trail and get to the new home ourselves."

Permalink

They totally can. Are they planning to walk through the night or stop and sleep? Either way, would they like some warmth? She can do that, like she did at the beach or in more portable form. Also if they have sick or injured people the Captain proposed she bring them to the Generator place.

Permalink

Warmth would be lovely. And it's getting dark, now is as good a time to set up camp for the night as any, so here works.

...A couple of the kids might count as sick or injured, but nobody wants parents and kids to be separated, so they'll just stay here for now. Maybe if it gets worse.

Permalink

Alright, how would they like their warmth? Area?

She can probably bring the parents too, if they want that instead? Or try healing, that's also a thing she can do.

Permalink

A nice big circle? Right there? Oh, she's a doctor? They didn't have any doctors on the boats.

Permalink

Affirmative sign! She starts laying down warmth again.

She's a mage and as such has the ability to do healing, and it's one of the things she's done before so she knows she can in fact do it.

...That sounds like possibly a problem if they don't have mages? (She's pretty sure that's a thing for non-mages, even if she can't double check with Genea just now.) Do they have doctors somewhere else?

Permalink

There are doctors somewhere. Maybe they're already at the generator? Probably they're on one of the many boats that were still behind them. It's just sniffles and a little cough, they're giving the sick more rest and heat, they'll skip the weird magic healing unless any of them get worse. The heat is plenty, really.

Permalink

Well, she's not going to do healing against their will. Or teleport them against their will.

She finishes the warmth. Anything else she can help with?

Permalink

Can she make more food?

Permalink

She can't like, make food out of nowhere. She can help grow plants but that's for slightly different timing. She could go see if there's something with meat around, or pull some fish out of the ocean, and bring that back if it works?

Permalink

"Thank you, but that's not necessary. I think you should go rest, just like us. We'll be alright. I'm sure the others will have lots of ideas about what's useful."

Permalink

Then she'll wish them good night and be off!

And - trying the translocating-greeting-offering warmth, other assistance, and offer about translocating sick and injured people to the Generator thing with the other two groups.

Permalink

"Help turning the lead team's flags into an easy and safe trail would be appreciated! I don't know how much work you've got left in ya, to be honest."

Permalink

Yeah she should in fact probably go to sleep herself soon. But she won't be offended if they ask her for stuff she won't end up actually doing right now.

...trail things sound like a job she should work on tomorrow; she just wanted to help out with things people might need tonight.

Permalink

"Go sleep, then, Miss Magic."

Permalink

...there's a weird concept word. Well, it's not like she can contest that she is in fact not married. (Humans in Tscher do do marriage, unlike the Southern Crossing ones).

Affirmative sign! Warmth for anyone who wanted it.

And what does the woman who's been helping her want?

Permalink

"I'll stay with these guys, or go back to the first trail group." She'd come to the Captain's attention in a bad way if she went all the way there and didn't really need it. "Thank you!"

Permalink

Does she want/need anything first, or is she ok with general warmth already provided and all that?

And, if staying is fine she'll go for that to save on the extra translocation; otherwise she can take her back to the first trail group.

And she has things she wants to try out but right now she really should indeed get rest. Back to the camp, and back to the tent (Genea continues to be both asleep and fine) and to sleep.
