Isabella manages, by the liberal use of cloudpine travel, assorted magic, and her alethiometer, to acquire possession of a parking garage each in Manhattan and Los Angeles.
Into these she has Adarin place a portal set.
And then she mixes up a batch of suitably witchy ink that she'll be able to identify as authentic later, marks up a bunch of pieces of paper with it, and walks into: a bank.
Adarin's welcome to come along, if he likes...

"I do think we should deal a little with the unpleasant governments. Some people get attached to geographical locations. But yes. All of those things. Planet shopping tomorrow, what do you say?"

"Oh, fine," teases Adarin. "Dealing a little with unpleasant governments. To stranglehold them into sanity. Planet shopping tomorrow sounds lovely!"

"Yaaaaaay," she giggles, hugging him and flopping her head onto his shoulder. "Have I mentioned lately that I love you? I love you."
prodigal_miser
"Hmmmm, I don't know, have you? Oh, there it is, yes, you've mentioned it. I love you, too. You're amazing and the greatest partner in diabolically nice take-overs, ever."
dark_light
"I am so glad that this is your favorite thing about me, have I mentioned that?"
prodigal_miser
He laughs. Cuddles. Cuddles would ensue. "You haven't! But it is indeed my favorite thing about you. Want to beat death with me? Bet we can."
Adarin winks.

"I bet so too. I am pretty sure the alethiometer agrees with me even though I ran out of ways to phrase the question before it gave me a really clear reply. It will be complicated at a minimum but I am going to do it anyway."
prodigal_miser
"Of course you will, my dear, because you're amazing. Obviously I will do everything in my power to help, maybe magic types can be combined to simplify it! Then everyone can just live forever."
He kind of wants to kiss her now. So he will!

"Definitely," he agrees. "Best part is that we have a while to get it right!" (Kiss.) "That and we're rapidly gaining more resources at our disposal."
Kiss, kiss!
Kiss, kiss!
dark_light
"Yes. At some point I may completely give into affectation and start wearing a crown." Kiss.
prodigal_miser
He laughs. "Whatever makes you happy, love. As long as it's a pretty one."
Unsurprisingly, kisses continue to ensue.

"I was thinking," (kiss) "circlet, permanent ice," (kiss) "undecided on exact details." (Kiss kiss kiss.)

"I can add some," (Kiss.) "illusions to it," (Kiss.) "So it can do cool things, too." (Kiss.) "Want it to look like it defies gravity and floats?" (Kiss!)
dark_light
"That might be tacky." (She has started nibbling on his neck.)
prodigal_miser
He giggles, partially at the tacky comment and partially at the nibbles. "Then I'll leave the designs entirely to you and," (Kiss.) "give opinions at the end result?"
prodigal_miser
Well, there goes his ability to think properly. That's okay, it'll come back later.
For right now - lovely girlfriend that he will take over the world with. Absolutely delightful.

Copious delight. They have made a Reasonable Amount Of Progress today. It is time for... relaxing.
prodigal_miser
Indeed it is. Also, celebrations. They made a Reasonable Amount of Progress, that's cause for celebration.
When they're quite with that kind of relaxation and appropriately snuggled, Adarin kisses her hair and asks, "Any opinion on what we should do about the portal to New Kystle?"

"Do about it? It seems sensible to leave it there for efficiently moving people out of New Kystle if we ever want to."
prodigal_miser
"Eeeh, well. Yes, but if someone ever does a scry for a portal they could find it. Then that could ruin our plans of secrecy before we're ready."
dark_light
"I could ward it. Witch wards work and don't cost precious precious mana."
dark_light
"Is there an amount of warding you could put on it that would make you not nervous and still cost less than busting and, if necessary later, re-making it?"
