- nod.

"I'm gonna keep monitoring you for a while but if you don't look like you're using your powers accidentally then it's probably safe for you to stay."

After a while she heads back over to the others.

"You were right. Blindingly magic when she's making someone do something, doesn't register at all when she isn't. And she mostly isn't."

Permalink

"Oh good."

Permalink

"Yeah. Do you think we tell Elizabeth we think she's safe, or - is there any reason to keep waiting before we bring everybody else back?"

Permalink

" - not that I can think of?"

Permalink

Nod.

She grabs a wand of Sending and lets Elizabeth know their results.

Elizabeth has had, like, less than an hour of introducing Connor to the concept of Super Smash Bros Melee.

" - Korva says she's pretty sure the new me isn't using her powers accidentally. Apparently they can detect it when she uses her magic."

Permalink

"That's good. I guess."

Permalink

"Yeah. I was kind of hoping for a longer vacation but - I guess if we check in with them we can still hang out here for the next several days."

Permalink

"Yeah. You can move around whoever wants to be moved around now that we know and then we can come back here."

Permalink

"I guess. Back in a bit."

And she pops over to the demiplane.

"She's safe? You're sure enough to bring everybody else back?"

Permalink

"She could be secretly evil, I guess?"

Permalink

"Pings good, though."

Permalink

"Yeah, I think she's okay."

Permalink

"All right. - she's pregnant?"

Permalink

"Yeah."

Permalink

"All right. You guys think we should bring everybody back here, then?"

Permalink

" - you did say you'd decide whether to keep her by a vote of people who weren't here, so probably you should go get all of them and vote about it and then we can problem-solve this."

Permalink

"That's true. All right."

She sends the new Imrainai home and brings everyone else back to the demiplane. 

"I guess the people who were here should let everyone else know what they know?"

Permalink

"Sure.

The new one claims to be able to make people do anything, but claims not to be able to alter their sensory perceptions. Valentine had the idea to detect magic on her. Very strong magical aura when she's using her powers, no magical aura when she's not. I haven't seen her do it without announcing it. She could still be a problem but the neutral good reading makes that less likely."

Permalink

"She mostly just slept and then checked on the pregnancy thing and talked with some people. No one has fallen in love with her or anything. Her friend hugged her more than I've ever seen my father hug anyone who wasn't related to him but this doesn't feel like it requires magic to explain."
