Day 341 (protected x2 from Arcana listening in)

[youandyoualone]

Would someone who is only investigating be willing to help me retrieve an object from Moonfall and bring it to liminal space? I can give the location, but for various reasons, I would rather the Cabalist whose body I am sharing not learn of its continued existence.

Said object is about the height of a child of a child of seven and a bit more than twice the weight. It can be safely handled by anyone as long as one doesn't try to kythe with it. I'd ask you to bring it to liminal space via portal and hammerspace and after the Jaunt I'd take custody of it.

Quiznack.

[If that translates, it translates as something very, very vulgar.]

[youandyoualone]

Princess?

[He sounds somewhat concerned.]

[reallymean]

Just realizing too late what was right in front of me.

[youandyoualone]

I see.

[He doesn't actually. But he can fake it.]

[desperate_times_right]

[Chekhov's Gun, indeed]

If you're talking about what I think you are, no one should have custody of it.

[youandyoualone]

And by removing it from this world, no one here will.

[desperate_times_right]

No one there should either. Can't we get someone who can make things disappear to drop it in a portal?

[youandyoualone]

Once the Jaunt is over, I am sure that we can. I believe Wash can make things disappear--'twould be the easiest way to rid himself of his daughter's fouled clouts.

[helborn]

I could take care of that easily. Any risk of radiation or something like that?

[youandyoualone]

Casper. It is far too large for you to eat. As I have said, it is the size of a seven year old child.

[helborn]

I'm not gonna eat it! ... I could put it in a room and then redesign the room so it isn't there. And I can carry heavy things easily.

[youandyoualone]

Ah! By creating a false wall or such. That is well-thought. I apologize. After my conversation with Chloe, I... made a few assumptions that I ought not to have.

I would very much appreciate it, then, if you would help me with this.

SUPER PRIVATE

[eldritchwheelies]

...So we can disarm it, right?

Re: SUPER PRIVATE

[youandyoualone]

Perhaps, yes. But it would be most complicated to trigger in the first place. One would have to feed it a large quantity psychic energy first in order to empower it, as well as the proper Tell sequence.

Cabal knows those. After this is over, only Naoya, Phillip, and I will. So it will be much safer here with us than back in its world.

[eldritchwheelies]

This is the kind of tech that I'm really, really nervous about being in our pockets. Nothing less than Nyarthalhotep deserves it.

Granted I trust the Cabalists with it even less. To be clear: I wouldn't trust myself with one.

[youandyoualone]

There is having Wash reduce it into nothingness once this is over, mind you.

[fearinahandfulof]

What would you do with it after you took custody of it?

let's just. make sure the skittles' greatest fangirl can't see this last bit

[youandyoualone]

Store it in a protected location. Not use it against the Arcana at this juncture, if only because I dare not chance that the death of another would destablize reality to a breaking point.

[He'll just. Exclude Maria from being able to see this next sentence.]

If the Illuminants attempt to interfere again, hopefully use its existence as a deterrent.

[fearinahandfulof]

...At this juncture.

[That's certainly revealing, if roughly the sort of thing Cassandra expects from men like Delaunay.]

[Private; Psychic Protection II]

From what I know of them, they'd probably want to use such a thing for themselves.

[theflyingone]

Would it be possible for one of us who kept the Nector abilities to destroy it in the Vale? I don't like the idea of putting it anywhere near the Arcana's domain. Things get... strange in Liminal.

[youandyoualone]

It may be. We would need one who is in their own skin, however. Jules?

[theflyingone]

Probably. Everyone else I remember, or my overlay remembers, is either currently someone else or wearing someone else. My overlay did not encounter Jules on the Jaunt, but I do know from the Network that he was attacked and kept the Nector powers after his overlay died.

This may be asking a lot of him, but if it's necessary.... [ Look, he still feels bad about Jules being witness to both his and Matthew's Flooring. ]

[razorblade_empress]

Really not sure I like the idea of a fucking mind-nuke in Liminal Space, assuming you're talking about what I think you are.

[youandyoualone]

Better we have it hidden away with myself, Naoya, and Phillip the only ones who knows its activation, than leave it lying around where any Cabalist might trigger it.

I have seen Anaf's memories. They teach the way of doing it to all of them.

[razorblade_empress]

I'd be more comfortable finding a way to make it impossible to use at all.

[Sorry, Delaunay, but you remind her of several Assholes She Has Known, one of whom would absolutely use the thing.]
