He can't move! At all! It's not pleasant but his hand does not raise!

Copy nods and breaks the connection again.

"Escape clause - thanks -"

You are quite welcome.

Off they go again.

So you can resist powers that make you act in ways you'd be sworn not to, that's—useful to know, sends Legend.

Yeah. I should probably swear not to feed the Earth into a black hole or teleport it into the sun or things like that but oaths can be really bad, we'd want to be careful with phrasing...

And those are unlikely to be problems in any case, most villains don't want to actually destroy the Earth.

Yeah, and subtler stuff is - more complicated - do you want to help me think of a phrasing -

Library of Alexandria might actually be a better bet for who could help you.

Okay. How do I send her a message?

Legend floats back into the room. I will email her, she will surely be able to come here soon to help you with that.

Thanks. Shiver. I miss my peal.

He hugs Fëanáro.

Oh good that's good. Hugs.

He touches a comm device. "Please email Library of Alexandria and tell her we need help coming up with safe oaths for master and stranger resistance. She will understand."

It's so good when there are other people who can be in charge of stuff.

We still had a few people lined up. I don't expect them to be any more revealing than these first two, there was a reason why we picked them, but.

I can do more if you want.

I think it's prudent.

Okay.

I should probably leave so I don't interfere with the tests.

Uncling. "Okay."

He smiles and floats back away.

Another cape, this one wearing a suit with a red bow tie, oiled hair, and a simple wooden mask, walks in. "Hello. Epic, isn't that right?"

"Yes."

"I'm Puppeteer. I think the name should be suggestive."

"Probably. We should try with and without oaths - just try normally first -"
