Lia is in fact going to have to leave approximately now to make this work without having to forgo guiding after her dungeon. Luckily she has a go bag prepped.

"So how does this work?" Lorica asks Lucien.

"I tag you via tapping you - it feels like a very small electric zap I've been told - and for the next few hours I'll able to retrieve you. My guess is it will work with whatever you're doing - I havn't found a range limit and it works even when someone is in a dungeon and I'm not - but we still might want to start with a test run to check that. When I pull you back you'll look sort of translucent and feel weightless and a bit tingly if you pass through objects on the way back to me, but nothing will effect you more than that. Tags wear off after you return but I can retag you right away."

"Okay. You don't have to grab me instantly, I'll probably be able to come back, I was before."

Permalink

"How long would you like me to wait?"

Permalink

"...five seconds? Long enough to notice if I can't breathe in the void and might like to, not long enough for me to have a serious problem if the answer is that I can't."

Permalink

"Works for me."

Permalink

The slightest of zaps.

"When."

Permalink

A familiar void. 

Permalink

A forest! The air is humid and some unusually large beetles flit through the air, passing between large thick trees, including four grey ones which are mov-which, on second inspection, are actually the legs of what might be a cross of a horse and rhino if that cross was 20 feet tall.

Wow. She would rather Not be stepped on. Pull, pull.

Permalink

Lucien stops his timer.

Permalink

"One push away is the void, I didn't stay long but am starting to get the sense that I'm physically fine there. Another push and there was very mega fauna."

Permalink

"Huh - different Earth or a dungeon?"

Permalink

"How should I distinguish, I've only been in the one dungeon."

Permalink

"If you could see the horizon that's strong evidence, so is the sky to a lesser extent."

Permalink

"I saw sky, but not a lot of it, there were trees in the way."

Permalink

"Probably an earth then, but it could just have a ceiling that's illusioned to look like the sky or something like that."

Permalink

"I could go back with a camera. I think I probably could pull out fast enough not to get stepped on."

Permalink

"Go for it - you're still tagged."

Oh she doesn't have a phone yet, whoops. She can have his.
