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.

[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.

[desperate_times_right]

Think someone dropped that radioactive sunscreen I made on the Beastfolk jaunt in one, but I don't know if it was him or not.

[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.

[youandyoualone]

You all took Naoki's anti-radiation potions afterward, I hope.

[youandyoualone]

I see.

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

[helborn]

I meant more "hey it's in this room ... okay let's close the door and add a new room in its place". But we could Cask of Amontillado this, too.

[desperate_times_right]

Yeah. Who knows whether that carries over or not, but I don't want to risk it.

I don't know if Wash would have done that one 'cause of Rose.

SUPER PRIVATE

[eldritchwheelies]

...So we can disarm it, right?

[reallymean]

What do you intend to do with the thing if you do manage to acquire it?

public --> private x2 protected

[youandyoualone]

Nothing, hopefully.

[He'll just private this against Maria very quickly, given how he's observed how partisan the little girl is towards the Dolorosan mages.]

But you recall how the Illuminants found a way to touch liminal space after Lady Fortune upended her Traveler-Catcher, yes? I have some grievance against them and the Yellow one in particular. If possessing such a weapon, which would be so much more dangerous to living concepts than flesh people, can serve as a deterrent towards them...

[youandyoualone]

Ah. True. Mayhap Naoki did it himself. I don't know if he has that ability, but I would ask him.

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.

[desperate_times_right]

Those things have a ten kilometre blast radius, it needs to be handled carefully.

[youandyoualone]

[There's the psychic equivalent of a bark of laughter.]

'For the love of God, Montresor!' Do you know, the narrator's name would mean 'my treasure' in d'Angeline?

[youandyoualone]

They do. But they are also very difficult to set off by accident. They requires a precise tell-sequence and also a good deal of psychic energy to be fed into them in the process.

[desperate_times_right]

I'm more concerned about someone getting a bright idea before it's dealt with.
