That's fair.  On the plus side now she is very tall and also a DINOSAUR.  A dinosaur who is making her way very slowly, holding onto the booths and then with a hand on the wall, trying to remember useful things from when she learned to skate.

Eventually she's a dinosaur taking very careful steps out into the open, and then a dinosaur worried that maybe being this gleeful is inappropriate given the entire situation, and then one deciding that she should probably figure out what shape of feelings she endorses going forward sometime when she's less precariously situated, and then she's a dinosaur falling over and about to hit her face on a table.

Pillow.

Oomph.  She props herself up on her elbows.  "Thanks!"

Permalink

"You're welcome. Having fun?"

Permalink

"Yeah."

Permalink

"I'm glad. Do you want, like, exercise mats or something?"

Permalink

"I mean, I'll be fine if I just keep away from the tables and stuff, right?"  She knocks on her helmet and wobblily stands up the rest of the way.  "Do you know if Security or whatever does anything for this sort of thing, or is that just for when it's interpersonal."

"My understanding is interpersonal but you could ask."

Judy looks at the distance from her to the security office and the furniture items occupying that space.  "Maybe later."  She scoops up the pillow to hold in front of her and continues practicing in a clearer area.

Cam goes back to waiting for a solution to his problems to walk in the door.

She does laps for a while with only a few more falls, which she manages to get either the pillow or the safety gear in between her and the floor for, then makes her way back to the booth and sits down.  "So, just want to make sure we're on the same page here, the plan for now insofar as there is one is to learn more about Sauron's deadman switch and Ancora's whole deal via me simming them, right?  And presumably that's more convenient for you if I go off and aim for time dilation, since that seems to have been working pretty favorably so far."

Permalink

"I'm not in a hurry but it would have results faster from my perspective, yes."

Permalink

"Okay.  Right now I want to be really careful with the sim thing since I pushed it a lot earlier, so at the moment I'm more bottlenecked on that specifically than on magic in general if there's anything you want done."

Permalink

"Like what else are you seeing this being handy for?"

Permalink

"Uh, I don't know, probably Nechar could cover any physical tweaks you might want better than I could - if you want any stereotypical, like, vampire things I can maybe do those, like strength or reflexes or not needing to eat or whatever.  Personally before I came here I was putting everything into teleportation but I don't think I could let you do that yourself if you don't wanna get drunk from?  Uh, aging stuff; I kind of get the impression you don't need that but if you do.  Memory, attentional capacity, quick thinking . . ."

Permalink

"I trip more than most people when I walk and can't get far if I try to run. Wouldn't turn down the last things either. What effects does drinking from somebody have?"

Permalink

"As far as I know it mostly just gives you your own pool of magic to work with.  Then again, I also thought doing magic to somebody who'd never had it done to them before just did whatever the thing was, and apparently that also gives them a soul or whatever.  Not that you have that in particular to worry about since you would've gotten one when I.  Uh."

Permalink

"It doesn't seem to have done me any harm."

Permalink

"Well, that's good.  If you want to risk it I'm fine with enabling that.  - I'm way less sure about it not doing whatever you wanted it not to do if you actually vamp, so probably avoid that although I obviously continue to not be your mom."

Permalink

"I do not wish to be a vampire. I enjoy being a demon."

Permalink

"I dunno whether I actually expect those to be mutually exclusive but yeah it's kind of a lot to risk."

Permalink

"Yeah. But just having magic done to me is a done deal."

Permalink

"Do you want to try having your blood drunk or nah?  Given that you don't actually have to aim for vampirism with that."

Permalink

"By 'do not have to aim' do you mean 'do not have to risk'?"

Permalink

"You're not going to become a vampire accidentally, and I have no particular reason to think that having your blood drank does anything but give you magic, but there could still hypothetically be something?"
