They are not immediately picked up by a team of Devils. The contract gave her two weeks to make the delivery, so she's in time.

Permalink

She heads back off to the transit point to sneak back to the workworlders. 

Permalink

On the way back to the transit point, she sees a giant wooden person trailing sheathes of parchment behind them like a cape attacking a locomotive with flung spears of wood!

Permalink

What.

She approaches the wooden person and the locomotive. 

Permalink

The wooden person is screaming. Not communicatively, just angrily. The locomotive looks like a beefy and solid one if not as much as a Dreadnought, and is dodging most of the flung bits of wood with carefully timed steam bursts and trying to get into position to shoot back.

Permalink

The excitement of a traveler encountering a new kind of person. Bewilderment at an action whose purpose is opaque, she calls to the wood person. 

Permalink

The Scrive-Spinster stops its assault in shock. The engine positions itself and lashes out with cannon-shot. The spinster resumes its motion, responding, The urgency of battle precluding conversation!

Permalink

Lucy positions herself between the Spinster and the train. 

Permalink

The train turns tail and begins running. The scrive-spinster floats there listlessly for a moment.

 

A meaningless effort that one continues out of duty. The seeking of knowledge.

Permalink

The seeking of knowledge. An assault on a wayfarer. A lack of understanding of the connection between two concepts.

Permalink

Knowledge bound to paper and ink. The possessions of another. Disgust at inferior quality. A variety of negative emotions amalgamating into violence.

Permalink

Curiosity regarding the superior version of an inferior item.

Permalink

A grand and beautiful celestial library. An archive approaching perfection and completeness.

Destruction by treachery. Despair and shame.

Permalink

Appreciation of the concept of libraries. Sorrow at old destruction. Weariness with treachery. 

The new sprouting from the ashes of the old?

Permalink

Weariness and resignation. Requiring the countermanding of a Judgement's decision.

Permalink

Requiring the countermanding of a Judgment's decision? A wish to know which member of a category is being referred to. A wish to more thoroughly understand a decision made by another. 

Permalink

The Sapphir'd King. The creation of appropriate souls, forbidden. Being a member of a dwindling kind.

Permalink

The creation of appropriate souls: relevance of souls and specifications for appropriateness? A species which cannot procreate itself?

Permalink

An Aspect of Verdance. An Aspect of Dominion. A singular purpose. Librarians.

A necessary tool's use forbidden. The Forge of Souls.

Permalink

The ambiguity of an individual wielding authority specific to themself versus authority inherent to a group to which they belong.

Permalink

An authority specific to an individual: The Sapphir'd King.

Permalink

The removal of a person from a position of authority?

Permalink

 

Shock that one would propose removing a Judgement.

Permalink

The laws of the Judgments prohibiting interbreeding between links of the Chain. A being whose very existence is forbidden multiple times over. The procreation of a Judgment with a Messenger. The procreation of an already-amalgamated child with a human.

The suffering caused by the Laws of the Judgments. The firm conviction that suffering is bad. 

Permalink

 

An ingrained mistrust, considered and judged not deserved: A being whose very existence is forbidden multiple times over.

...Resignation to the dictates of a Judgement.
