An offer to the Travelers

[awondrousplace]

Hello, fellow Travelers. For once, I am not addressing everyone in regards to an entertainment of some sort.

Gentlemen, and those without a female reproductive system, you might want to tune me out from here on. Ladies, and anyone with a female reproductive system, I have something for you.

A few Liminal Spaces back, I realized that no one here has made any sort of contraceptives for those who might wish to engage in activities that would result in unfortunate consequences.

[For all that she adored Christina eventually... it was an unfortunate consequence.]

I have made a liquid that will halt conception for three months. It is completely reversible if you ever wish to bear a child, but it will prevent both pregnancy and menstruation.

For those who live in an earlier age and do not understand, I am happy to talk you through what goes on, and what my concoction does.

If you would like some, please, by all means, come to my rooms. My door is always open, and I will not ask any questions of you.

You're a hero to us all.

[If anything, Claudia's surprised it took Helena this long. On the other hand, no one was about to spontaneously combust this time. Less of a rush.]

[awondrousplace]

I do what I can, Claudia, dear. As much as we all love Baby Rose, I do not think we need more Liminal Children.

And I am certain that attempting to deal with menstruation here is more than a bit perilous.

[claudiometer]

God no. One psychic baby is more than enough.

Well, on the plus side, if you ignore the trash long enough it disappears, but not having to deal with it in the first place? Infinitely preferable.

[awondrousplace]

I do not wish to become a Liminal Babysitter to a horde of small children who can walk up walls and talk in people's heads.

[claudiometer]

I don't think even the proud father wants that.

[dino_zarf]

Oh, she's great, but you're right. She's a lot to worry about and a whole bunch of little ones who can do what she can would be more than a little terrifying.

[claudiometer]

We'd all be doomed.

[dino_zarf]

Plus on top of everything else sometimes they send us places that are... really not good places for babies.

[This whole Harrogate thing is making him nervous]

[claudiometer]

I would think her Imperial Grandparents are roughly as thrilled by the prospect as you are. Maybe they'll split the group again.

[dino_zarf]

I really hope they do. It sounds like there would only be so much I could do to protect her.

[claudiometer]

No kidding.

[Considering the risk that she might see 'terrifying monster' and instead think 'new playmate'... yeah.]

[dino_zarf]

Even riding it out in Liminal sounds like it might not help.

[From the King in Yellow business he arrived toward the end of]

[claudiometer]

Yeah, not so much.
