A second ago she was at work in the temple of Erastil in Sothis, which was actually going pretty okay, all things considered. Now she's in a grassy field with a couple fruit trees and a table and chairs and some notebooks and pens.
This is unexpected and requires a ton of power and is therefore sort of inherently terrifying. And she's alone, and defenseless, and she doesn't know where Verita is.
She mills around in steadily increasing amounts of distress until Hagan appears, just as suddenly.
"We can't afford for people to make a mistake. We really can't afford for people to make a mistake, we might as well not go back at that point."
Nod.
"You're not entangled with anybody here, right? Like - it's up to you, but - "
"If she expects to - be able to contact people in other worlds, very soon, it might be better to wait until she can. So we don't - have to worry about how to pay for things quickly, if something else happens to cause a lot of debt."
"If we're not close enough to hear anything anyone is doing I suppose it'd be all right."
"I could make you more sticks. If you wanted. I don't think it'll be very long until I get better inter-plane contact, if I keep summoning and un-summoning people."
Pile of sticks with some food by it, way over there.
She can work on attempting to make lots of magic Pathfinder objects that aren't actually magic but are pretty and useful for debt movement.
Sad flop.
I think whatever happened in their dimension was pretty bad, she tells Connor.
Yeah I get that sense.
Kind of figured. Their court came pretty close to all dying and they didn't have any warning.
Yeah.
We should have - managed this better. Found a way to keep people from lying sooner.
I wish I had magic to make the fairy rules stop being so - unforgiving. But I can't think of any safe ways to indicate that.
Yeah. Dunno. You got the debt-manipulation power just by talking with me about non-magic ways to keep the debt.
That's true. I dunno what non-magic ways there are to manage fortune, besides just - keeping everybody unentangled with the people who have trouble not lying. And giving them stuff to give the fairies immediately if they mess up.
