Day 335

[thornsofmalkav]

Hey. So. I used my secret-discovering skill I got from Shekinah to learn something Chara doesn't know about the Protectorate-That-Was and it turns out? Great-Grandpa Malion and the rest of the house of Broken Stone had access to the Mystic Spires. They were, like, privately raiding them for secret weapons and luxury technology.

Anyway, it's kinda too late for Chara to get on the Expedition seeing that they left yesterday, but if any of you on the expedition get inside a Spire and the place is safe enough, could we work out some shit with Portals to get me and Chara there? I dunno if there's any biometric shit, but it can't hurt to have us. And she'd definitely like to see the place--she just didn't go on the expedition because of the whole keeping herself alive to continue the dynasty thing.

And. Like. There's a very slim chance that Chara and I might be able to get more information on that shit? Hopefully anyway.

Also, I've got an idea for distributing shit to every spire pretty damn fast, but I'm gonna need Matthew's help? I'll private message him about it in a sec, but if he's up for it, let me know if there's shit we need brought over besides, like, Gil's special batteries and basic literacy and shit.


Private (double protected) to Matthew:

Hey. So. Two things: first, how do you feel about using Arke's wings to fly to a bunch of other Spires so we can help them too? And is there any way for you to tow me when you're busy being a flying dude, as long as I've got my magical girl butterfly wings up, or will I weigh you the fuck down and then we have to do summoning and portal shit in the wilderness away from the Spires first? Because while I can glide with the magical girl shit, my actual speed is crap.

Second, can you still talk to dead people? Because me and Chara want to talk to her great-grandfather in Moonfall. It's probably important.

Comments

Private until otherwise noted

[comebewe]

We hate talking to dead people.

[cue a slightly awkward moment's pause, before he continues]

But...yes. I can still talk to them.

Re: Private until otherwise noted

[thornsofmalkav]

Okay. Thank you.

Are you good towing me to the other spires if I've got my magical girl wings on?

Re: Private until otherwise noted

[comebewe]

Uh. Maybe? I don't see why not, but it is not something we have ever done before.

What exactly are you wanting to do there? Other than, you know, talking to dead people.

Re: Private until otherwise noted

[thornsofmalkav]

Well, spreading the good word about word squiggles and science. And, like, basically trying to gather followers for Chara? Maybe distributing some food and tools and seeds and shit to the other Spires too.

[comebewe]

Now we sound like a cult.

Does this all need to be you? I mean, sure, we can fly you to all the spires. But I want to take a look at the Mystic Spires later, and I'm not sure how much time you'll have at each stop.

We're not the only ones who can fly. This something you can delegate?

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeahhhhhh, in retrospect that wasn't how I meant to say it.

Mostly I was asking you because you can do it faster than other people? But, like, I'm pretty sure you need to have been to a place or have someone else show you it in order to portal there. And none of us have been to most of the other spires.

[comebewe]

We are very fast. [And very modest.]

But you know, we could send a few people to fly out a couple of spires. Cover more ground at once. And we'll just fly you to the rest.

[thornsofmalkav]

... that could also work, yeah.

But you'll take me to Moonfall?

[comebewe]

We will take you to Moonfall.

And...summon Malion. But only because it is important.

[thornsofmalkav]

Thank you. So much. If he knows anything about getting into the Mystic Towers... well. That will definitely come in handy.

[comebewe]

Definitely. Anything else we're going to need to find out from this guy?
