"We can go in at the same time if you would like to be introduced to showers in a sexy way."

"-oh yes that sounds like a very good idea."

May will introduce Lianelle to showers. In a sexy way.

It is indeed a very good idea and Lianelle makes sure to show May how much she appreciates it.

Lianelle is a very good addition to the "kidnapped into an alternate universe battle royale" experience.

May washes out her previous shirt underpants and socks, bags them still wet to hang dry at the campsite, wears new ones, and packs and distributes those and other objects. She checks out and returns the key card and calls an Uber to the state park. They should have time to find a good spot and set up before the fight starts.

"I could definitely run faster than this," remarks Lianelle during the Uber over.

"Be that as it may." [You'd mindwhammy everyone you passed.]

[Yeah - they wouldn't really notice it but I guess people would care about it anyways if they knew what was going on.]

[If they just wouldn't see you that's one thing, that's how it'd work if I did it. But seeing you and not being able to think about you is different.]

Nod nod. 

[Maybe if it were dark I could move fast enough that they wouldn't be sure I was there even if there wasn't mind control about it? But I'm not sure. Well you be okay with me doing obvious things during a fight if I have to?]

[Yeah, if you have to, but like we are choosing a low bystander situation so hopefully it won't come up.]

[Yeah I'm happy you are doing that - it's easy for a lot of people to get hurt in the fighting.]

[Probably that'll still happen between the other combatants but I don't think my advantages are so overwhelming that I should try to hang around interfering with that directly, there's too much I don't know.]

[Yeah that makes sense - I um. During the time I was a summoner I remember I tried to help and it didn't work out well.]

[You weren't always a spirit?]

[I don't know. Champions are created from legends usually, and sometimes those legends are about real people and sometimes they aren't. I have memories of being a human though.]

[...whoa. Could older spirits corroborate your memories at all?]

[Possibly? There was a tournament I was in and if any of the champions from then show up again they'd remember it.]

[I meant like while you're all in the spirit world, or can you not even communicate with other spirits there? Tournaments wouldn't seem to offer a lot of chance to catch up socially.]

[Oh I'd need to find someone from the right time and place - I've met spirit who had heard of me but that's not surprising given that I know I'm at least based on a legend.]

[Huh. Well, if it's a famous enough legend the Internet'll have something. How do you spell your name?]

She can spell it out. 

Evidentially there is a Wikipedia page. Lianelle was a French sword fighter / courtesan / folk hero who was known for defending towns from dangerous animals, fighting with occupying Magyar forces, and engaging in various inappropriate activities historians aren't clear about the details of but did get her labeled a harlot by some contemporaries. It is thought she died in the Seven Day Fever or the chaos associated with it.

[You can read, right? Same reason you know modern English at all?]

[Yeah - does it say what happened with the Magyar after I died?]
