"We'll see if that keeps up around me."

"They may appreciate you less."

"I'll have to show them the light, then."

"I am sure your radiant glory will leave them utterly bereft."

"They'll be converted to my worship with a single glance."

"A compelling story, which may be enough."

Laugh. "I'd hope so."

"They do seem to strongly operate on- narrative contrivance."

"Which is a bit odd..."

"Indeed. But in character for this world, it seems."

"It's cool how different they all are."

"It would be more convenient if they had more commonalities."

Laugh. "It'd simplify our jobs. But I like complexity..."

"You would not be you if you didn't." she says fondly.

"And I am a very excellent me."

"One of the best I know of."

She laughs. "Well, time to show Creation what they're missing, I suppose."

"Keep me informed."

"I will. I promise."

Messing with Creation goes smoothly, for the most part, or at least it does at first. They garner quite a bit of interest, but for the first month most of their potential enemies and allies seem content to observe, with only the occasional challenge. Still, there's definitely a sense of something building, of some great interest they've gained...

Ani hasn't, exactly, been in constant contact with Elesse - she's been moving between worlds a lot, especially helping Wyld and Luc' out, and that takes a lot of her attention -

But they usually see each other every now and then. Ani's aware Elesse had been planning on visiting some outlying temple or another on the Mid Rim, too, but...

Shouldn't she have been back by now? Possibly she left on another trip...

- Has anyone heard from her -

-No, it has been some time.

 - Leia's had no contact, either, or Luke, and they have been talking to Elesse more often...

That's.

Alarming.

What resources do they have for figuring out where she is? (She's not dead, Ani would know...)

Elatra can set up some scrying, see what comes.
