Cara can also fistbump.

Permalink

"...okay, great, why stop at one ridiculous coincidence today. Lucy, put those down and put pants on and pack yourself a couple changes of clothes... actually will your stuff fit her..."

Permalink

Lucy attempts to use her hands to compare the size of her hips to the TAs in a way she maybe wouldn’t at zero backlash.

Permalink

Cara pulls her dress up out of the way to make it easier to measure! (She's wearing biker shorts underneath.)

Permalink

This Might As Well Happen. "It's probably closer than my size, anyway. Fourish changes of clothes. We're going to my house. I need to get ahold of your families, are either of you in a state to help with that."

Permalink

Yeah close enough. Lucy attempts to get up to grab clothes. She does not, to be clear, let go of the TA for this.

”My phone has a contacts list.” She unlocks her phone for him.

Permalink

Cara can easily be towed around while Lucy gets clothes!

She pulls out her phone. "I can send messages on my own if you tell me what they should say and who they should go to?"

Permalink

"I need you to tell me who they should go to, who's your emergency contact, both of you." He will help with clothes retrieval when Lucy's encumbered reaching makes it clear enough what she's trying to get.

Permalink

Mostly shorts and shirts with short or no sleeves, but also a couple of skirts because why not.

”Um…my mom. Or my brother. Either one.”

Permalink

"Mine is my aunt Rachel. What should I tell her?" 

Permalink
Both of Lucy's mom and brother are going to get:
This is the esper Traceless borrowing Lucy's phone, she is awakening, please text me rather than calling for the immediate future, my number is...
"Tell your aunt Rachel 'I am awakening, please text the esper Traceless at -" And his number aloud again.
Permalink

Lucy’s brother responds immediately:

Traceless? With the blog? Can you provide some evidence you’re not some clown who stole my sister’s phone, please, that’s statistically more common than esper awakening.

 

Her mother replies a few seconds later:

Awakening??? Is she alright, what’s happening???

Permalink
You can get the same number for me through my agent if you prefer. Paula Bescond, like it says on my blog's about page.


She's OK, in a bewildering coincidence one of her ?classmates? awakened at the same time and they've been glommed on to each other till Lucy was guided enough to text me, I'm going to take the both of them home. What do I need to know to look after a not-all-lucid Lucy for a week?


Paula, OK to give my number to concerned parties asking about these two uni students who just started awakening at each other today till one of them texted me, you're expecting a Wilbur Wayne
Permalink

Okay, I’ll do that, thanks.

 

She doesn’t eat cephalopods but there are no other dietary restrictions—she’s photosensitive, usually she can handle that on her own but I don’t know how lucid is not—if she’s in a bed with another person she categorically won’t stay on her own side, I imagine that’s unlikely to be a problem under the circumstances? 

Permalink
Yeah, that's not a problem, I'm planning to put her and the other girl in my guest bed together and they seem like they will be fine with this arrangement


"What's your name?" he asks Cara.
Permalink

"Cara Mavi." 

(She texts Aunt Rachel as instructed)

Permalink

Thank you for reaching out! Is Cara okay?  Does she need anything?

Permalink
She seems fine so far but awakeners shouldn't be left alone. I'm going to take her home with me, and also the other awakener she's been glommed onto for the last several hours (t's a newsworthy coincidence but I checked them both and they're legit, if you're not sure I'm legit you can go to eventualities.traceless.com and find my agent's name and go through her to make sure I'm who I say I am). Anything I should know about for looking after her? She can talk but I'm not sure exactly in what way she's impaired yet.
Permalink

(a pause while she checks with the agent) 

She's usually very expressive, but

(Aunt Rachel proceeds to share the same information she shared about Cara in the other thread)

Permalink
Thanks


Meanwhile, once the girls are in enough clothes to decently traverse the distance from here to an Uber pickup location and last them a few days with laundry available at his house, and have their phones, he will lead them out to where the self-driving car is waiting and they can all pile into the car. Lucy winds up in the middle.
Permalink

Okay, agent checks out

Wilbur texts.

thank you for looking after my sister and also rescuing her from a dungeon that one time

she admires you a lot

please do not take undue advantage of that

Permalink
I'm just going to put her in the guest bedroom with the other awakener she has coincidentally already glommed onto and make sure they eat and stuff, I'm not going to be weird about it and wouldn't even if there were only one of them
Permalink

I’m not accusing you of anything I want to be clear. But like. I don’t know you

Permalink
Yeah, legit


And to his house they go, tugging Cara along if she doesn't get the picture on her own.

“Oh—you should know—she’s in pain. Head, and stomach, and muscles. I gave her an acetaminophen for her head just before I texted you the first time and a naproxen sodium for her muscles just after I texted you the second time.”
