Nah, she's chill. At least now that she isn't considering cutting people up. Why do I have your family? I haven't even, like, met them.

Permalink

It's the killing evil gods.

Permalink

Ah. Yeah, lotta that on the agenda, probably, if I can figure out how to give myself enough of the spells for it.

Permalink

You'll get there. Not worth rushing.

Permalink

Well, not if I can figure out immortality. I don't even know how to start on that one with my magic. I guess maybe Starfarer's Valar can fix me up with it.

Permalink

They should be able to, yeah.

Permalink

Then I guess I can fix it. Hopefully most of the problems take less than thirty-one thousand years. Although I did get a spell that'll hopefully speed the evacuation stuff up.

Maybe I should work on making the demiplane bigger and then pull Starfarer's family and your family both here so they can talk evacuation logistics without time passing in Starfarer's world?

Permalink

Sure. 

Permalink

Now if I can figure out how to make the demiplane bigger.

- lemme know if I should stop thinking at you. You're just, like, I dunno, kind of like Connor but older and smart, and it's good to talk to you about stuff, I guess.

Permalink

I am really very happy to talk with you whenever it's helpful.

Permalink

Okay. Thanks.

Permalink

Any time. Good skill.

Permalink

 

Well.

Bigger demiplane. Somehow.

She leaves the holodeck and heads to the edge of the demiplane. She tries sticking her hand into the mist.

Permalink

It's cold and makes her hand feel kinda rubbery.

Permalink

Weeeird.

She sticks her arm in further.

Permalink

She can't feel her arm past a point.

Permalink

Concerning. She pulls it back out and sees if her fingers still work right and stuff.

Permalink

They do.

Permalink

Okay. How else can she tell her spellbook that she wants a bigger demiplane. 

She paces the perimeter a few times and thinks about it.

Maybe she can build up. She probably still has space for a really tall apartment building, although she couldn't make the library of Alexandria before, so an apartment building might be too big. And it won't help the Quendi. But maybe it'll make it clear to her spellbook that she wants more space.

She makes a handheld fan and attempts to blow the mist away, still pacing the perimeter.

Permalink

This removes the mist from a couple of inches.

Permalink

"I sure would like to have more space around here to put more things," she says, to no one in particular, and keeps pacing and fanning mist away.

She mentally checks on what Connor's doing.

Permalink

Still learning about how sailing ships works.

Permalink

She should really have a longer attention span or something. Maybe it's that she's actually already spent several hours blasting zombies with fire today and, like, at least an hour moving people to Laita. Maybe that's a reasonable amount of work to have done.

She kind of wishes the demiplane had a day-night cycle, so she could have external confirmation that she'd already worked for most of a day. It wouldn't have to be a really dark night. Just enough to symbolically be nighttime. Probably this would be a really petty priority to actually work on intentionally.

She checks on the pegasus.

Permalink

Napping in a cozy place he made himself.

Permalink

Good for the pegasus.

 

She's really bored. And she isn't going to get a spell from this today, she already got a very useful people-moving spell and she isn't even doing magic to make things happen. But she really feels like she should be working on things, and if this is doing anything it's probably good to do more of it today, so she'll have less of it to do tomorrow.

She walks around the perimeter a couple more times. Maybe she's doing this wrong, maybe she should be looking for the ability to cast Create Demiplane as a Pathfinder spell. Then she could make the place bigger. She summons a printed list of staves and then starts summoning staff descriptions to see if any of them have Create Demiplane.

She keeps pacing and occasionally checking on Connor while she reads.
