Morgan doesn't strictly need to sleep. Even if she didn't want to put up with the annoyance of constantly having a caffeine buzz and having to ask for coffee on almost every summon, there are naps. Naps can keep a daeva going for quite a long time.
But there's something unutterably pleasant about curling up in a proper bed in pajamas and just sleeping. And then waking up and getting breakfast in those pajamas. So she does that, because immortality's a long unpleasant time if you don't enjoy the little things every now and then. Like adorable bunny slippers and soft pajamas and sleeping in.
She's midway through a fruity salad thing that counts as the standard fairy breakfast when she feels the summon. Showing up to a summon in pajamas? Eh. If they're proper summoners she bets they've seen worse, and she doesn't particularly care if they think she's unprofessional.
She puts her spoon down and accepts the summon.

The Protectorate would not be super happy with her in the Birdcage, no, since she would probably kill everyone there and possibly use the power obtained to escape.
notinoz
Yeah, fair enough.
Well! Instead, Moord Nag gets to die. Morgan's pretty okay with this.
But before she goes and does it: does she have enough funds leftover for a series of satellite phones to hand out to villages to get a slightly shoddy but technically functional warning network set up for managing her territory?

...no, not really.
notinoz
Yeah, she kind of figured.
Right then. Major bounties besides the Slaughterhouse Nine that could get her some money?

The Blasphemies are pretty major.
...potentially. Their powers aren't all that well understood. There's something about manipulation of dead matter, and illusions, and a pocket dimension, and apparently if one's alive so are the other two.
notinoz
Hmm.
The pocket dimension and illusions are worrying.
Does the Protectorate want to, say, help her go space them?

Nnnot on such short notice, no. If she'd like to wait to strategize with them, potentially. But given that the Blasphemies are mostly Europe's problem, that might take a while.
notinoz
She can wait to strategize with them. Much as she dislikes waiting to go kill Moord Nag, she wants her takeover to be neater much more. If she can smoothly take over without causing many ripples or causing her neighbors to think it's a good idea to go take her on, she can devote more attention to digging wells and creating a stable country, which will ultimately save more lives in the long run. Sorry, people that get eaten by Moord Nag.
Though it does depend on how long they'll take for it. Are they going to take too long?

Yes.
"Can I help you?" the receptionist asks.
"Eidolon is out on patrol, at the moment."
notinoz
"I can wait for him to come back," says Morgan brightly. (Ugh. Patrolling. What a waste of everyone's time.)
"He will be informed of your presence."
notinoz
"Sure. Thank you very much."
She goes to the waiting room, picks up a magazine, and starts casually reading. In full costume. Completely ignoring any stares.

And stares there will be, until the receptionist asks her to come with this nice PRT lady somewhere.
The nice PRT lady brings them to a meeting room where Eidolon is waiting, arms crossed, looking out the window. He turns to look at Morgan and nods. "Hello."
notinoz
"Hello," says Morgan, like walking into the PHQ and asking for Eidolon is the most ordinary thing in the world. ... She seems to be making a habit of this kind of thing.
"So, how free are you to come play hooky with me? I don't know what demands the Protectorate makes of your time."

"I think the Protectorate as a whole is taking too long to get back to me about working with me on strategizing for the Blasphemies and wondering if you're willing to just cut past the red tape with me for the good of the world."
