"Is what you want regarding me and my world?"

Permalink

"Everywhere with you and your world as a special case."

Permalink

And not the slightest tilt in the vial. 

"Wow, you're uh. Rather good."

Is there anything else...

"Have you lied or attempted to mislead me today?"

Permalink

"I've probably said flippant and sarcastic things but I can't remember taking any actions or making any utterances based on a preference that you be ignorant or misinformed."

Permalink

Lucien says an incantation and puts down the vial and wilting branch.

"That should be enough. More than enough, really."

Permalink

"You didn't want me to try lying to make sure the spell worked on me in the first place at all?"

Permalink

"The vial bubbling means that it worked, though I guess it can't hurt."

And another incantation to reactivate it...

Permalink

"I am the very model of a modern major general."

Permalink

Neat that Gilbert and Sullivan are still popular in the distant future.

The liquid in the vial tilts to the left as if gravity were off-kilter. 

"It works."

Permalink

"Oh good." Tailswish.

Permalink

... That sure is a tailswish.

Permalink

It sure is. Cam turns to ask Bar questions about setting up a resurrection facility in the backyard and about whether blood sacrifice is allowed there.

Permalink

"We'd want some amount of privacy and maybe a 400 square feet of space. Oh and uh. Anywhere we used will eventually become a bit haunted - though it'll take a bit to be noticeable."

Permalink

"...haunted. By what?"

Permalink

"A general sense of unease and fraying of the fabric of reality. It takes a lot of haunting before it becomes an actual problem but I don't know of a way to unhaunt a place yet." 

Permalink

The fabric of reality here has had worse.

Permalink

"In that you're okay if we haunt a bit or that it won't get haunted in the first place?"

Permalink

Either, both.

Permalink

"Well, worst case we can add stories if the ground floor gets too haunted, I guess."

Permalink

"What form does the fraying of the fabric of reality take? On, uh, normal planets that aren't Milliways."

Permalink

"Makes it easier for certain sorts of entities to break through, can mess with topology, if you spend too long there you might go mad, that sort of thing? Uh, if you keep going some texts say it will eventually collapse into a raving dimension of mindless hate and chaos but I've never manage to find anyone who can operationalize what that looks like."

Permalink

"...wow. Is 'go mad' operationalizable, like, what kind of mad."

Permalink

"Uh, I've seen obsessive fear, someone who wanted to eat everything, a guy who wanted to blow up the Earth for reasons I don't understand, someone who tried to have their family reenact the lives of the people who last lived in their house, and probably some other things I'm forgetting?"

Permalink

"...wow, you've only done the resurrection thing two times, are there other spells that also hauntify stuff or was I way off in understanding how quickly this happens?"

Permalink

"Oh these are from other people doing different spells that hauntify things. It would take thousands of uses of the resurrection ritual to even get to the growing sense of unease point, and way longer to get to the madness point."
