Later, Theo pulls up at Sadde's house in his car to pick her up for nighttime activities! By which is meant vampire-related healing, not anything else, of course.

Permalink

Of course. Because he is quite gay and she is a girl today so she's not even pining a little bit.

Permalink

Yes, that.

So they go to some more hospitals! A new one a bit further away – Sadde can nap in the car if she's tired or something, Theo should be fine to do this – and then also back to one of the larger ones nearer-by.

Permalink

She naps, and people are saved.

Permalink

And the night passes by and Sadde is dropped back home.

Permalink

She decides to spend the next day trying to do the meditation thing.

Permalink

Evelyn spends a while trying to motivate herself to stare at threads and realizing they are Super Boring and trying to do it anyway.

Permalink

They are super boring! But the boringness loses some of its strength when she knows it's magically induced.

Permalink

Which is convenient! She tries to deduce things about how things are linked together, what happens if she, for example, pokes the threads between some non-fragile inanimate objects, things like that…

Permalink

Most objects don't have very strong threads between them, and pulling on them is... distracting. As in, forget-what-she's-doing distracting.

Permalink

She's gonna try pulling the larger ones, if she can find any between inanimate objects, and if not she puts a reminder (and an alarm for a minute away) on her phone to remind herself what she's doing.

Permalink

She cannot find any large ones between inanimate objects. Plenty between herself and inanimate objects, though.

Permalink

Can she poke one side of the thread or is it just the whole thread is pokeable? Because she wants to poke the middle, the side at her, and the side at the object.

(With notes on what she's doing so she doesn't forget if she goes and picks an object up.)

Permalink

Just the whole thread is pokeable, yes, she cannot pick a side to poke.

Permalink

She'll just poke it wherever along it, then.

Permalink

She feels an urge to touch the object.

Permalink

Well clearly she touches the object and then she pauses and puts the object back.

Same with another object, if she pokes the thread between her and it?

Permalink

The thread she touches makes her want to lick the object.

Permalink

She… does not get quite as far towards completing the action, this time. Light touches.

A different thread, to this same object?

Permalink

Her arm twitches towards the object.

Permalink

And is there any noticeably different pattern, or shade, or something synesthetic, to the threads, such that she might be able to guess what does what?

(So boring. Not that boring. So very not-that-very-actually-boring.)

Permalink

Yes, actually. There are differences between the threads that she can detect before touching them.

Permalink

Is there a nice synesthetic map so she can actually get to know what these are or is it a vague intuition or, like, what.

Permalink

None of the above. There is a difference but she has zero intuition about it.

Permalink

Can she tell if two lines have the same difference from another line, or if they're different, like, magnitudes of difference…?
