He has never had cardamom before! It's very good!

 

 

 

He will now flop onto the bed and pass out for ten hours.

Ten hours later, the sun is below the horizon, the city is far less bright, and the beautiful colors of twilight have started spreading over the sky.

Oh no, he passed out again. He will have to fix his sleep schedule. He needs more sleep than most people – this being another of his blessings. Well, """""blessings""""". The good thing about it is that he can recover Tranquil energy by just sleeping. Practitioners of other Ways do not recover energy as easily.

He wants to bathe. His clothes have Perfect artificing work done on them – they do not need to be cleaned – but he has no such protection.

He goes into the bathroom. Is there soap in an obvious place? Will he have to order it, like the food?

There are several soaps, in thin slices, placed on the sink. They're all bright, pretty colors, with images, and smells, of various fruits on them.

Amazing! The hotel even has fragrant soap!

He will try the shower. Actually...he will cast Trample On Coals With Bare Feet first, and then try the shower. It has both flow and temperature control! Such feature-richness!

Permalink

Turning on the shower, a powerful stream of hot water flows all over Feya, spreading pleasant warmth throughout the entire room. The water seems to somehow track Feya, always keeping its stream perfectly aimed for comfort and luxuriating in.

That is way too hot for him, but the ritual he cast earlier means he isn't affected by it. He continues adjusting until it's at a good pressure and temperature. It feels so weird having the water constantly flow over you! It's like rain, but unnaturally warm rain.

 

 

 

He is deeply unnerved by the tracking water when he realizes it, and he turns off the shower. He is assured that it's not a practiced effect – it has to be entirely mundane – but this doesn't alleviate his anxiety about it.

Does the bathroom floor outside of the tub have a drain?

Permalink

Yes, there is a small drain almost hidden in the floor next to the tub.

Okay! In that case, he will step out and soap his body, and then wash using the sink water, awkwardly. Does the sink water also have tracking. If it also has tracking he is going to be so upset.

Permalink

The sink water simply flows when he turns the faucet on and off, without any kind of tracking involved. The steam from the water during the shower helps keep the room nice and hot, even if the stream of warm water from the actual shower was interrupted.

It's very pleasant! Though afterwards he feels Very Tired again, in the sense of having to contend with so many new things. This might be a good time to try casting Flatten Priors/Closing The Previous Chapter, but he doesn't know the spell or the ritual formulation for it. So he will have to integrate things the normal way.

He will flop onto the bed and just Exist in a half-sleeping state for an hour, before he realizes that he didn't establish a meeting place with Hannah, even if they set a time. Oops. Hopefully she just comes here so he doesn't have to go looking for her.

He's hungry again, but food is separate from the hotel cost, and he doesn't have any money with which to pre-pay, so. He will just not eat. It's fine. He will go and cast the ritual version of Inedia: Transcendence Of The Basal Urge. He is just pulling out all of the rarely cast rituals out of his repertoire, today. He is, once again, very efficient in its casting.

It's too soon since he last slept for him to go to sleep again, naturally, unless he decides to cast another ritual for it. Which he doesn't. He is Mentally Tired of ritual casting, even though energetically, he still has plenty in his reserves.

He could go exploring, but it's about to be nighttime, and he doesn't know how safe it is to be wandering around at night. He is an experienced practitioner of the Way of Tranquility, but like, he doesn't want to get into a fight or get stolen from. So he'd rather not. He also thinks about poking and prodding things in the hotel room, but he fears that it will be like the windows earlier, where it does something he really doesn't want it doing, or like the shower, where it's deeply unnerving or disturbing or upsetting.

He will decide to follow the Way of Tranquility, which entails continuing to lay in bed doing nothing. 

After thirty minutes of this, he realizes that if he sleeps according to his bodily urges, then he'll only end up sleeping several hours later, at which point going to sleep would mean he misses the noon meeting time. So, he ought to go to sleep now, such that he can guarantee that it will be before noon when he wakes up. Sigh.

It's very awkward casting sleep effects on one's self, but it's something he's very practiced in. He casts Rest and Repose very begrudgingly and very efficiently, and falls asleep.

Feya sleeps incredibly well, waking up feeling full to bursting with energy.
