sad Cam in Milliways, with company
Permalink

A sewage pipe burst in Sahan Imsel's apartment during the storm. His bedroom is fine, but the kitchen and dining room are a total loss unless he wants to spend more than the furniture's worth on cleaning it. He sends the landlord a succession of angry emails and then heads down to the property manager's office to complain in person, and eventually they get a cleanup crew to dispose of everything and reimburse him for the furniture and put in a work order for the sewage pipe. He has to stay at home until the reds show up, and they don't even have the decency to be on time. He paces. 

 

He opens the closet door and blinks. 

This is not his closet.

Hug! "We're gonna live foreeeeeverrrrrr~"

"Forever and ever and ever! - is it specific to humans, do you know -"

"Mitros. Would I write an immortality spell that only works on humans in particular."

Permalink

" - possibly as a first step if it added a lot to the charts."

Permalink

"Well. This one does not specify humans. Not that familiars need one exactly, but still, I did not write a chauvinist spell."

Permalink

Hug. "Congratulations, dear immortal queen. Too bad we can't give it to our alts."

Permalink

"Well, Maitimo and Cam don't need it but Aitim is merely inaccessible. Are you not expecting him to pop up?"

Permalink

"He'll probably be fine, but - I take it it depends partially what Telkam gets up to and -"

Permalink

Nod. "...bad idea to mount a rescue mission?"

Permalink

"I've been contemplating it. ...well, I've been contemplating charting some more stuff that might be useful and then maybe. We should get my father on those drugs, see if he can come up with - since we can't become daeva, something to make us less vulnerable -"

"I think we should open the door briefly once a subjective day so we have a hex every time. We can get your dad in here one of those occasions."

Permalink

"Sounds good. He might take some steering to focus on inventing spells instead of running around gleefully learning all the things but I bet he'll be steerable, given."

Permalink

"Maybe Milliways will give him time dilation in which to learn all things."

Permalink

"It has seemed kind of friendly with the time dilation!"

"Good magic bar." She pats a wall.

Permalink

"Much appreciated magic bar. Do you have an invisibility -"

Permalink

"Yes."

"So then my preferred option is to see if he can get somewhere on that, and if he can go find them and make them indestructible, which does not anger the Anitami government unless they try to kill them."

Permalink

Nod. "It'd be several trips for all of them."

Permalink

"Yeah. Getting them out would be easier but - it's such a big government, so many moving parts, I'm not sure what to expect if we do that."

Permalink

"Yeah. They could write Cam, right?"

Permalink

"I don't know how they're keeping them from summoning but it might involve keeping them from writing."

Permalink

"Ugh."

Permalink

"Yeah, let's go find him -"
