Bridge to Walkaboutia

[forcechanic]

[Time to figure out if she's really gotten this psychic bridge thing figured out]

Is this over with the dragons? This is Jaina.

I want to warn you guys that things are coming to a head over on this side. We think we've figured out the source of the problem: Someone called Nyarlathotep. We have a plan, but it's incredibly dangerous. I wanted to warn you all to be prepared for people from our side to be a real mess when we get back to Liminal.

Just... be ready.

I can't patch anyone through, but if you need a message passed on I'll do that once this connection runs out.

When you WHAT?

[Emotion doesn't come across on weird text network. And yet...]

... When you program a demon summoning application, you test every possible summoning you can find. And any sort of supernatural creature counts as a demon in my world.

[Let's not talk about how literally the next day from his current canon point he's using Nyarlathotep on his team.]

Okay I learned about this thing today and I can tell that's a terrible idea.

[crouching_sin]

As amusing as the idea of some random nobody testing out the app and summoning something that could destroy the world, it's not practical and would have likely cost me my contract. That's why aside from the part that requires the summoner to be put in danger - which is relatively minor danger - the summonings have safety features built in.

Do you really think I'm stupid enough to summon something like that without wards? No. I also had something on hand to give him enough of a fight that he'd leave in case it went wrong. Please. I'm not new at this.

[forcechanic]

You know what's better than wards? Not summoning the horrible spirit eating thing that could destroy everything.

[crouching_sin]

I mean yes, but then if someone did summon it, it wouldn't be controllable at all.

[forcechanic]

Why are you doing something where that possibility comes up? This thing's unbelievably nasty.

[crouching_sin]

Fighting something that's worse.

[At least, in his opinion.]
