I predict this will be a self-indulgent shippy meditation on power and responsibility but it's honestly hard to predict these threads

"Oh. Okay. ...who's Asmodeus?"

"He rules Hell. It's one of the bad afterlives."

"Oh. And she expect killing him to, what, keep people from getting sent there?"

Permalink

"People will still get sent there but maybe we can make it nicer for them."

Permalink

"Ah. I guess if she thinks she can do... government stuff. I guess she's already doing that."

Permalink

"I think it'll be hard but - most worthwhile things are."

He waits a bit to see if she has anything else to say.

Permalink

Not really. Seems like these people have a lot of stuff they're already working on. She can maybe ask Valentine for a general rundown later.

"Well. Thanks."

Permalink

"Of course. I - hope you'll let us know, once you've talked to the father and to your work crew, how things are shaking out. And I'd still like to visit your people sometime, if they'll have me."

Permalink

"Yeah. I'm sure lots of them would love to meet you."

Permalink

"Thank you."

Permalink

"Yeah. I'll see you around."

She heads for Valentine's house. There is probably something more important to be doing right now, but she kind of just wants to borrow a bed and rest until Elizabeth gets back.

Elizabeth is cutting through catacombs full of zombies with lots and lots of fire right now. She burns all the bodies in a corridor to ash and then sweeps her flashlight around to check for survivors. 

She pulls out her spellbook to see if she has anything yet.

Permalink

"Ugh. Nothing. I think we might have to head up for the night."

Permalink

"Well, I think you were pretty clear." Sigh. "Stupid spellbook."

Permalink

"I probably just haven't done enough yet. It used to take me a week to get new spells, remember, it's just that I've been using so much magic lately. And we did take yesterday off."

Permalink

"Well if it punishes days off then it's a stupid spellbook."

Permalink

"I don't know if it's a punishment, it just means I haven't done enough work yet to achieve the results I want. I'll probably get a new one tomorrow. Wanna head home?"

Permalink

"Sounds good."

Permalink

Then they can head up.

"More Star Trek tonight? - you can tell me if you think it's actually incredibly boring."

Permalink

"I think I always imagined that actors would be...better at acting? But I do like it."

Permalink

She giggles. "Sometimes they are. I will definitely show you other shows with better acting later. Star Trek is just, uh, special, for reasons, even though the production values are very low compared to lots of other things."

Permalink

"If you say so."
