I'm thinking we could use a general status update. What all's up other than 'holy shit mother of all earthquakes'? Is there anything a quorum of us can manage to agree to focus on?

[ He definitely spied on them. That still did not involve speaking. ]

Then the gods' meeting takes priority. I will keep you informed of the whereabouts of any gods I run across. It is all I can do for now, unless you cannot find more suitable messengers.

[ That should be a good end to the conversation. However, the second half of his thoughts is corded off with Psychic Protection I. The emotion faintly filtering through is very different from the businesslike planning before. ]

Everything is so out of reach. I have saved many lives these past few days, and for what? One tantrum from a god can ruin everything. And I still have not found a way to kill one, unless you count tricking one into eating something in the Underworld.

And Malik is missing. He is either there, or in some separate part of Liminal. I tried to send him a message, and nothing.

[And that should still give him enough of an idea of faces to have something to work with, shouldn't it?

In any case, Altair's private worries are the bigger concern here, so she doubles down on the lock.]

...god donut. I hope he didn't angst his way into another dungeon or something. I'll keep an eye out for him, though, in case he wandered off somewhere in-jaunt.

What you've been saving lives for is exactly that - saving lives. Keeping people around a little longer, doing damage control where we can, it all makes a difference. Not trying is a level of turning your back you can't live with, even if it doesn't solve the larger problem, and we're working on the larger problem.

[ Neither could he pass by a civilian unjustly arrested, for example, but that was covering a large wound with a band-aid. ]

Have Travelers been trapped in two Dungeons in so short a time? The Underworld is the first place I will look, I think.

[ It seems like a plan, but even the impersonal Network conveys a subtle floundering desperation. ]

I don't know, but that doesn't make it impossible. Besides, whatever he did manage to work through got pretty immediately squashed back down by the magic kerfuffle.

Try the underworld first, though, if you can do it safely. Might as well rule out the option that's here, if we can.
