Oh, that's good. Want me to tag you beforehand?

Permalink
I won't have a way to signal you, will I? So that would only make sense if I were planning to come back whether I needed to or not.
Permalink

You can tap someone in a specific pattern and I'll sense it.
You're not planning on coming back?

Permalink
I can't take passengers so I can't exactly evacuate the place wait no

I can't take passengers but you maybe can
Permalink

Seems likely!

Permalink
I'll need to think about that, what's your bandwidth
Permalink

Depends on whether you are interested in guiding me? Though it won't be enough to evacuate entire cities even if you are, I think.

Permalink
Give me a range?
Permalink

Somewhere from thirty seconds to five minutes per rescue?

Permalink
I don't mean time per person, I mean people per day, with or without me being on your end for guiding.
Permalink

Maybe a couple hundred without you, a thousand with you? I'm just guessing though.

Permalink
Well then I guess at some point we should have some kind of relationship conversation. Though possibly not till I've caught up with my original Lucien.
Permalink

Oh. Up to you? Normally I would assume you didn't want a relationship with me anymore but I've kind of had it hammered into my head that I can't trust my instincts about you disliking me.

Permalink
I am from a foreign planet where, when everything is going according to plan, relationship conversations come before and are in many circles even a prerequisite for spending lots of time making out. It can wait till you're not burned out or whatever though.
Permalink

I am not actually certain that my being burned out won't help with a relationship conversation if you are up to it.

Permalink
Why would that be?
Permalink

I've been told I am excessively likely to take things as signs someone doesn't like me and right now I am only going to do that if you're pretty explicit about it.

Permalink
fair as far as it goes but I think it would not be conducive to my decompressing if you conspicuously don't give a shit about having hurt me.
Permalink

Yeah that's reasonable, we can talk later than.

Permalink
I think I want to go home sooner than that. I'm gonna get my danger suit and come over for a tag, OK?
and I'll tap someone in some pattern to communicate whatever short list of things I might need to.
Permalink

Okay by me.
Also uh, just so you know - I do care about having hurt you, I'm just having trouble acting on it since I spent so long being told by my support not to act on backlash that was blaming me for everything that happened to you during your awakening and now I'm still adjusting back to being able to trust my thoughts about that sort of thing.

Permalink
yeah it makes sense, just, timing.


She's over with the danger suit a bit later, and some paper to write some pattern -> meaning correspondences on.
Permalink

Lucien can help come up with what meanings she might want to send.

Permalink

Mostly they just need "arrived safely, will return home under my own power eventually probably" and "pull me back" and maybe "pull this person I'm tagging back".

Permalink

They can figure out patterns for those.

"Um. Good luck."
