"Vocal range is easy, the magic stuff I'd be guessing, memory and intelligence are also on the high end of things sorcerers can do."

"Neato!  Just a sec; I'll be right back."

She goes and finds Cam.  "Morning!"

Permalink

"Is it? Morning."

Permalink

"Oh, is there a time thing or whatever?"

Permalink

"There isn't really a day cycle and I don't have to sleep."

Permalink

"Oh, that's cool.  Uh, anyway, I was wondering - I was gonna ask the security guy for some stuff, but I didn't want to if you'd take it as like an act of aggression?  So I thought I'd check if you minded if I saw if he could make me able to handle more magic and maybe try some petty stuff that otherwise I would eventually probably use my magic to do.  - And maybe some less-petty stuff; not having to sleep sounds supes useful."

"I'm planning to stay in the area of the establishment policed by security as opposed to going off anywhere you can do anything to me. Since, you know, you tried to kill me, and have mind control powers. Given this I will not feel particularly threatened."

Permalink

"That's entirely reasonable and I wouldn't dream of asking you to do otherwise!  Even though I'm super not going to try and kill you again and also am not going to mind control anyone ever again in any situation where I have literally any other options, and expect and plan to retain plenty of other options!"

Permalink

"I am gratified to hear it."

Permalink

"Okay great!"  She turns on her heel and heads back to Security -

- for about three steps before turning back around.  "Okay but like - to be clear I could not in fact mind control you right now, even if you were elsewhere and I - was emotionally capable of it - and would not be able to for at least a couple days even if I drank blood during that time, and the thing I was going to do would, if it worked, change that.  - Um, or like, I have a little magic left, but barely any; I don't even think I could knock you all the way out again - we might have a legitimate values difference or something but I'm trying to avoid escalation via stupid miscommunications - "

"I'll tell Alassëo, who for Elf reasons can't stay in areas Nechar is responsible for at all times."

Permalink

"Okay, uh, I was going to go talk to him next but if that's the case I should do it first probably - "  And she starts off towards the door to the backyard.

Permalink

The Elf has climbed a tree and is sitting it and singing.

Permalink

She positions herself vaguely nearish the tree and loiters until she's acknowledged.

Permalink

He comes to the end of a verse and glances down at her. "Hello. Judy?"

Permalink

"That's me!  You're Alassëo, right?"

Permalink

"Yes."

Permalink

"Nice to meet you.  Um, I was wondering if you could tell me a bit about - I guess whatever you think is relevant and important?  Sorry, I know that's not very specific but I don't think I have enough context to ask anything more useful - "

Permalink

"About - Cam? The war? Elves? The reconstruction?"

Permalink

"Uh, yeah, all of those I guess."

Permalink

"It would have gone much worse without him.

The - black hole - was on the King's authorization...

I don't think he's eaten or slept or sat down or picked up his violin or anything, not while time was passing in Arda, since then."

Permalink

"Gosh.  Um.  It's - this is very - moving, and all, but - I don't know what Cam told you about me, but the gist is that I don't have a way to confirm any of this, and do have reason to suspect I might be being lied to.  Do you have any better ideas for how to resolve that than loading me up with enough self-consistent details that it's implausible for someone to have made everything up even with access to time pausing?"

Permalink

"I... suppose you could summon another demon and ask them to check?"

Permalink

"I could?"

Permalink

"Unless it doesn't work here."
