"Counts to what?"

"Capturing it? Don't we have to 'reveal its true form' before we can?" 

Permalink

"It's already revealed, now."

Permalink

"Okay. So we need two people for the Maze plan, does that sound right?" 

Permalink

"Are any of us confident we can direct the Maze? Enough to let us travel through it without any impossible geometry?"

Permalink

"We can just test that."

Permalink

"Alright. I'll go first." 

Permalink

"Here?"

Permalink

"Yeah, I'm sure no one will notice the giant Escher painting show up- no, not here."

Permalink

"My place?"

Permalink

"Sure."

Kero into bag, and then they can go.

Permalink

And back to Sadde's place. "Okay, so, Maze?"

Permalink

"Right. So let's see how much control I have over this."

Staff, meet card.

"Maze, create a path from me to Sadde, release!"

Permalink

The environment around him changes, Sadde's apartment multiplying and getting subtly different, its Euclidean geometry lost. Sadde and the others are hidden by walls that spring from the ground—but there is a very clear path Scott should be following regardless of the myriad ways it branches.

Permalink

He walks the path, not to delay or be misled.

Permalink

And there's Sadde, sitting on a chair she does not actually own. "Hiyo. Did it work?"

Permalink

"Yeah. So long as I ask it for a path, I get one. Next we can try a path to a card that one of you activates, in case cards are different because they're made of magic, and then we can try what happens if I don't know where you are." 

Permalink

"Good ideas. Also you should try aiming for a place rather than a card, assuming the Time is in the same place."

Permalink

"Alright. Let's start testing. I can use the Sword, if no one has a better idea."

Permalink

"That sounds fine. Kero?"

Permalink

"Yes?"

Permalink

"Can you think of anything else, before we start? I'm not sure if you were listening, so if you weren't, that's fine."

Permalink

"Oh. I was listening but I can't think of anything else. Maybe you should dispel the Maze?"

Permalink

So he does. 

Permalink

"Sword, lend me your skill, release."
