Where she can mass-text a bunch of people about her disappearance being temporary and recorporate Lianelle.

Lianelle can wait a bit for May to catch up with people before she goes out and sees all the new universe things.

"Probably don't strike off on your own, there's no veil here and if you do anything odd you'll be noticed a normal amount."

"Okay, so long as you show me around."

"Will do, though first I need to talk someone into taking a trip around the world to find Sakir once she's resurrected." Text text.

Lia will admire her summoner in the meantime.

"I hope Arctic's up for it, I don't actually know her that well and just hook up with her partner sometimes."

"What's her power?"

"Clairvoyance. She can see into dungeons and over a couple thousand kilometers, and she can find what she's looking for pretty well; she'll be able to find Sakir if she doesn't land on, like, a container ship mid-Pacific, or something. But she'll have to fly around a bit for coverage."

"How will she know what she's looking for?"

"She can use names and identifying labels, does that for missing persons and dungeon victims all the time."

"What're you going to do with Sakir once Arctic finds her?"

"Probably invite her to improve on 'drop her back off in her own world' as a plan, I assume no court on the planet finds her bullshit to be within jurisdiction, but maybe it will take a few days and she'll have done local crimes."

"She uh, will probably either die or commit crimes or both back in our world, I think."

"Well, if she'd rather I just murder her again I guess I can but I'd rather not."

"Yeah."

"Especially since that would happen in a jurisdiction I would not immediately flee."

Nod.

"I would really rather not have more death when we just finished the tournament but don't know how to avoid it entirely - maybe she'll have some idea."

"Well, whatever it is can't be very expensive, or it'll be more total death of people who were asking for it way less."

Nod nod.

May calls her agent. It's amazing that her phone is intercompatible. Paula books her an airplane from Los Angeles home to Toronto for her and her new partner.

"Can I ride the outside?" asks Lianelle when she sees an airplane take off from the airport window.

"No, that would be bad for the aerodynamics of the plane and also for the peace of mind of anyone who saw you even if you could cling perfectly to the wing the entire time."

"Well at least I'll get to ride in it - how high do they go?"

"'Bout thirty thousand feet."
