Week 2, the morning after the summoning

[keepcalmcookon]

[Exasperation. And anger at the stupidity he's about ready to mention:]

A group of idiots just managed to summon the Genius of the Entire Atlantic Ocean, whom promptly escaped their attempts to contain him and possessed their leader. The Crown Prince and the Princess were also both present--and the genius is amenable to not murdering everyone. Even deciding to bide his time to decide which one of them he may decide to support in their fight for the throne.

Even though he seems amenable enough, he can surround you with water and drown you where you stand, so don't try his considerable patience by being a prat.

I haven't really done very much with magic, outside of Cantrips and the like.

[rustyhonesty]

I've done quite a bit... Which is funny, since there's none back home.

[fearinahandfulof]

There's nothing like that where I'm from, either.

[Actually, she'd mostly stopped looking into magic too closely after Maria had fallen out of ambit.]

[rustyhonesty]

There are far more magic-less worlds than I would have thought.

[fearinahandfulof]

With the worlds we're sent to, it's hard to tell if those are more typical than magic worlds or not anymore.

[Not that Cassandra had known there were other worlds of any kind when she'd first been brought to Liminal Space...]

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah. It's hard to keep track with all the Traveling done.

[fearinahandfulof]

Yes, even with all the return visits.

[rustyhonesty]

It's also pretty hard to determine what counts as magic in each world. There isn't really a set rule to what such thing means.

[fearinahandfulof]

That's true...

[rustyhonesty]

Though recently I feel like we've been to a lot of magical ones, when you don't count Vineland. That was mundane as hell.

[fearinahandfulof]

Which one was that?

[rustyhonesty]

It was the one with the movie industry. I'm not sure if you were there?

[fearinahandfulof]

[Cassandra barely understands movies as a concept even now; she's not sure how much the Jaunt would really have helped with that.]

No, I was on the walkabout.

[rustyhonesty]

Ah... the creepy cabin one?

[fearinahandfulof]

It was an inn.

[Still, she knows what he means.]

But yes, that one.

[rustyhonesty]

I heard it was quite a mess... sorry to hear you got stuck there.

[fearinahandfulof]

I've... been in worse places.

[And she'd certainly had a much easier time of it than Allura, or anyone else the Shade had targeted.]

[rustyhonesty]

I can think of worse plays to be... so I definitely believe you.

[fearinahandfulof]

I just hope we don't have to go back anytime soon.

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah. That definitely doesn't sound like a good rerun.

[fearinahandfulof]

No, it doesn't.

[rustyhonesty]

We have an ever-growing list of those.

[fearinahandfulof]

We do.

[She really doesn't like that.]

[rustyhonesty]

Is there any jaunt you'd actually want to return to?

[fearinahandfulof]

I don't know.

[She has a fair number of Jaunts she wouldn't want to return to, but that's not really the question.]
