"You seem very fond of repeating that phrase."

"I am incredibly fond of the concept in general, the phrase is just an easy way to say it."

He laughs. "Thanks. I don't even know what I'll do if we manage it and I get the rest of eternity to live however I like with everything nice and neatly fixed. Maintenance, I suppose."

Permalink

"Maintenance, enjoying the interesting hobbies and art on offer from our lovely fixed-up society, lots of sex..."

"With one person in particular on that last one," says Adarin, snuggling. "It'll be nice."

Permalink

"I think so."

Permalink

Snuggle, snuggle. "You realize that if all goes as planned this plane will end up being the all powerful utopia that you joked about. It'll be a self-fulfilling prophecy."

Permalink

"Ooh, and you know what we get to do then? We get to be ludicrously helpful finds for interplanar travelers who were only looking for chamomile."

Permalink

Adarin snickers. "Yes, and then they will make us helpful things to read our alethiometer and they'll end up teaming up with us for utopia purposes. It will spread, like a plague. Helpful utopias, as far as the eye can see."

Permalink

"An infinity of helpful utopias full of helpful utopians. It'll be glorious."

Permalink

"Indeed. Anyone looking for chamomile will get a pleasant and completely expected surprise. Which is kind of an oxymoron, but that's okay!"

Permalink

Isabella giggles. Snuggles. "I'm glad you went looking for chamomile."

Permalink

Snuggles. "As am I. This is the best plane. It has you, it has magic, it has Wikipedia..."

Permalink

"It even has chamomile! As a distant runner-up."

Permalink

"Waaaay in the back of this list of best things, somewhere, the actual thing I came here for. Yeah, that's appropriate."

Permalink

"You got it where it needed to go, right?"

Permalink

"First thing I did when I got back."

Permalink

"Good. Wouldn't want anyone suffering from - remind me what it was to treat, again?"

Permalink

"It was a kind of sleep disorder thing. I could have spelled up some lights, but only so many at a time and with expansion only with my magic, or - I could find means for alleviating it by helping people grow chamomile themselves. Guess which I chose."

Permalink

"Ha. So it's for making sleepytime tea blends."

Permalink

He giggles. "Yes. I mean it wasn't quite that trivial, there were some bad effects from lack of sleep, but - yeah. Sleepytime tea blends."

Permalink

"Yeah, I don't mean to minimize it really, sleep's important - it just sounds funny."

Permalink
"I know. It does sound kind of silly now that you've drawn attention to it, really."

He snickers, then makes a somewhat silly voice. "Hello. My name is Adarin, and I bent reality to my will to travel to another plane of existence... To bring people sleepytime tea blends."
Permalink

"Bent reality to travel to another plane of existence and wind up sparking, as a side effect, what is likely to be the greatest economic and social upheaval two worlds have seen in years."
