"What happens if you do?"

Permalink

"Uh, I tried to turn myself into the cops for causing nationwide airplane delays once."

Permalink

"I had a really tough time convincing them that in aggregate the harm to hundreds of thousands of people was actually a really big deal!"

Permalink

"Not every big deal is criminally chargeable!"

Permalink

"I think mass sabotage of transit would be?"

Permalink

"I guess they'd figure something out had you actually featured."

Permalink

"Which I did not. Thankfully - it would be so much worse if I wasn't able to reassure myself that I've been wrong every time I panicked about something like that."

Permalink

And soon enough it is time to start retrieving tagged people, keeping Lucien busy as he holds out his hand and translucent people speed towards him, coming to rest when they touch his hand and solidifying into normal existence.

Permalink

Lorica falls silent, keeping alert for things she might need to do as his assigned buddy.

Permalink

People are forwarded to medics as needed - in between clusters of people Lucien asks Lorica for a different conversation topic than the previous one since mulling over the past disasters is rapidly becoming a bad idea.

"Sure, uh, how're we getting to your place after this is wrapped up?"

Permalink

"There's government transport for espers - I'm sure they can accommodate an extra person. My place is a couple hours away." 

Permalink

"Good thing I'm not especially prone to getting carsick."

Permalink

"Yeah - uh, don't worry I won't be driving or anything." 

Permalink

"Does backlash make y- make it hard to drive?"

Permalink

"Oh, no, I thought you were making a comment about my driving ability."

Permalink

"No, it's just a long drive. - I guess it's possible that, uh, Nikki, gets carsick and now I will too, I don't know what I've picked up from her. Actually I don't even know what I look like besides 'brown'."

"Want to borrow my phone and look at a selfie?"

Permalink

Phone.

Permalink

Selfie!

"Well, if I had to bodysnatch someone I guess it's at least nice for me that she was roughly my age and a she and nice-looking and whatnot."

Permalink

Lucien is going to smile slightly about this and try not to leak how hot he finds her! Not that he expects to succeed!

Permalink

"How often do these dungeon things pop up?"

Permalink

"There are a few thousand each day."
