A problem with some arts interventions is that they can knock loose, especially if whatever caused the original characteristic is still there - if you're scared of dogs, and I make you not scared of dogs, and then dogs growl at you a lot, then my work can just come undone. I'm a little worried you could wind up in a situation where that happened after you'd achieved some sensitive position and you'd get in trouble, if they ever re-check anything.

- oh. Sigh. I guess that makes sense.

Sorry.

This person died and was resurrected and has trauma about the death. This person has kleptomania although they are really quick to assure her that they have absolutely never stolen anything they just think about it constantly. This person has really horrific nightmares. This person was possessed by a demon. 

Death trauma is both straightforward and something she has experience with in practice! Kleptomania's pretty easy to block. Nightmares she knows how to handle. The demon is gone now? She can't work on someone who currently is possessed.

Yeah the demon's gone he's just kind of a mess now.

Then she can try to work on that with him, sure.

Pretty soon she has a reliable flow of interested parties. It seems like they really don't have subtle artists here though they have enough magic-users who can imitate some part of what she does that it's not obvious to people at first she's doing something entirely different.

Her classes continue teaching her about how Abadar imbues the pharaohs with as many of his essential characteristics as a human mind can hold and about how laws ought to be just and consistently enforced, and it's permissible to ignore ones that are contradictory, ridiculous or unenforceable but important to obey even unjust ones, lest you endanger your afterlife. 

They certainly do have a culture here, don't they. She attends most of the classes in the sequence.

They're very pleased about that and wonder if she'd like to be a member of the church, or buy insurance from it.

...what do they sell insurance against?

Crime, natural disasters, legal trouble if she doesn't commit a really flagrant crime, sudden illness or injury, death but that one's very expensive for obvious reasons.

Assuming these are all affordably priced except the death one she is in the market for them. She probably should not buy death insurance considering her likeliest causes of death.

Death insurance pays out if you're resurrectable and weren't executed by Osirion's government. The rest are all very reasonably priced.

How much is an alignment check, actually, she hasn't had one in a while and turned up neutral good when she was a volunteer test subject for someone practicing the spell.

Ten gold. Temples do seasonal discounts sometimes, for the holidays of repentance and so on.

She'll skip it at that price. (Puts in context that one guy, gosh.)

She goes home.

The streets are blocked off. Some officials are escorting people around the disruption.

What's going on?

Member of the royal family passing through. 

The people in front of her turn away and she can see more clearly. Everyone is kneeling very low to the ground. There are six guards around, and -

Presumably the member of the royal family. 

She startles, for a second, before she sees him.

But - no, it's not Fëanáro, this is clearly a human adult, they don't look anything alike, they just register the same to arts - but then why -?

She's a little too distracted to notice that everyone else is kneeling. Should she be trying to osanwë him, or - what would even cause this? - it can't be him though, on so many levels, why would he be in disguise, in this disguise? -

"Fëanáro?" If it's not him it'll just sound like a random foreign word, right - she doesn't yell, if it's him he'll hear her loud and clear -

He turns to look at her. 

Several guards step in to interfere with this. 

"Stop that, I want to know what she said." Three quick steps that have his security running to keep alongside him -

"Where are you from?"

Oh! Okay! Apparently people who are just sufficiently Like That ping the same way and now she has fucking royal attention! Again!

- the Magisterian Imperium, your, uh - grace?
