"I didn't research it in advance!"

The judge says she's guilty of spying. Anitam communicates this to Doet in case they're going to kick up a real fuss about it or something.

Permalink

Doet says she was making casual conversation with an angel and they would like her back.

Permalink

Okay but how much of a fuss are they going to make.

Permalink

Apparently the green who was in charge of experimenting on her neighborhood is attached. They would really like her back please.

Permalink

Is he. Ewwww. Fine.

Not like that, just the researchers sometimes get fond of their subject, like pets! disclaims the ambassador from Doet.

...she then proceeds to marry the researcher's purple great-grandson a week later, but still.

Super ewwwwwwwww. 

 

Someone notices that time is passing in Amenta with the door to Milliways closed. Not a lot of it, typically a couple minutes, but definitely some.

Permalink

"...summoning?"

Permalink

" - oh, huh, maybe. You think it, like, syncs us with the daeva realms - but there are dozens of daeva in our world at any given time, that doesn't sync it -"

Permalink

"I'm guessing, wildly, but Milliways pauses you if you're - cut off - and when you interact with your world again, even just through the door, it moves - and summoning interacts between worlds."

Permalink

"So we'd be moving only if there happened to be a circle when the door closed, and only until it got answered?"

Permalink

"Or something?" Cam gestures vaguely.

Permalink

"I guess that might explain why Revelation doesn't get out of sync with the daeva realms, they probably have circles all the time. ...wouldn't Arda be moving if Larya put circles down for you? Or did she put them here in Milliways?"

Permalink

"She put them in Milliways, I would have remembered if she'd wanted me to hold the door."

Permalink

"Then that probably explains it."

Permalink

"It also might not do the thing if the daeva the circle is for isn't home and summonable, conceivably."

Permalink

"But it means we could probably have a couple worlds moving at once if we wanted, if we pick a daeva who is home and summonable."

Permalink

"Yes."

Permalink

"I want Amenta slower than Revelation but maybe we can still take advantage of this to not use the door so much, so more people can wander in for you."

Permalink

"Thanks. Although I'm not actually sure that the rate of people entering has very much to do with subjective time spent with the door shut."

Permalink

"Do we have any guesses about what it does have to do with?"

Permalink

"Whims of entities Bar calls 'the landlords' and knows nothing much else about."

Permalink

"Helpful. My family's probably going to move to the Revelation colony."

Permalink

"Nice perks if you can get them."
