In a bar, there is a girl.
She looks like she has saved up all of her decadent and slothful impulses for a solid decade and is indulging them all at once. She is sprawled on a couch with a book she's only half-reading, and an ice cream sundae, and smiiiiiiling.

"Oh, there it goes, that's very nice. I could probably go kiss a tuberculosis patient on three weeks' hunger and leave them alive."

"Well, there's an image. Okay, so sorcery can solve this like so many other problems."

"You hang out in my world for years doing smaller versions of it constantly and in wide variety."

"I'm cheating outrageously and I still can't fly yet," Milan contributes.

"Anyway, you up for your three days of incomprehensible agony nowish?" Addy asks Milan.

"I might very well be. I'm probably having a reckless moment, but Kithabel is a much less reckless person than I am and she's interested too, so I'm not that worried."

"Well, she's a vampire and she seems to be fine, but let's just double-check everything she said with Bar to be sure."

ertia
"Lemme know when it's all over everywhere so I can try giving you a break to see if that works."

"It's definitely going along, but it's not there yet. ...I'm tempted to run at capacity the whole time just to see how fast it goes up, but after three days running at capacity without any new sorcery to do and while probably immobilized by pain I'm going to be unspeakably bored, especially if the agony is as incomprehensible as advertised. Should've thought that through better."
