"Oh, um.  I think I need to keep it in order to have - any leverage in the world at all, but if there was something better I would probably want to take that.  What's the security guy's deal."

"He is generically extremely powerful but he can't use his magic outside of his own world, Milliways is an exception."

Permalink

"I see."

Permalink

"Yeah. He's friendly enough but can't do anything about the Maiar and won't help your mind control vampires situation either. Uh, if you decide to go visit him say up front if you don't want a new biological leg, he might have to specifically try not to replace it if he does anything else for you at all? I'm not sure exactly how it works for him."

Permalink

" - Huh.  I'll keep that in mind.  - Might he be able to help my-specifically mind control vampires situation, if there was one?  It admittedly felt like a very considered decision to murder you, and I didn't feel remotely inclined to introduce teeth into the equation, and Sar - "  She makes a slightly strangled sound and tries to pretend she didn't, clears her throat.  "Sara wasn't going in for hugs, or anything, uh, before I mind controlled her into - but it seems worth checking.  Could I have a water."

Permalink

Bottle of water. "I wouldn't rule it out. Though I'm not sure how to bet on the magic system interacting. If he de-vamped you, being human's a stable state; I don't know if being de-mind-controlled and also still a vampire is."

Gulp gulp gulp.  "I think I need to stay a vampire for now."

Permalink

"Well, tell him that too if you go say hi."

Permalink

"Okay.

 

"Can you maybe take like, two steps back."

Permalink

Cam can indeed take two steps back.

Permalink

She gathers her phone and water bottle and un-nooks, leaving plenty of personal space between them, and steps off to the side so she's no longer between Cam and the closest wall.

"I think I'm uh, maybe out of stuff-doing stuff for the day.  Could I - have some pajamas?  Uh, I don't remember what page they were on - jersey knit, elastic waistband, purple and light blue plaid on the pants, matching solid-color long-sleeved t-shirt?  If - you feel like it."

Cam flips through the catalog in his computer and finds the pajamas in question and presents them to her folded.

Permalink

"Okay thanks bye!"  And she rather flees.

Permalink

Cam conjures for Ancora and surroundings to see if they are in fact fetching a cat.

Permalink

They're at the very least in a fairly-standard-looking 2014 sort of house, one room of which contains a cat.

That's nice of them. It would be great if this were all a misunderstanding and they can totally fix the mind control problem after it is pointed out to them and it comes as a complete surprise, but before Judy allows this to happen she will have some kind of backup plan, which will hopefully also be fine.

Cam drinks a mocha and reads about development economics.

She heads to Security first thing in the (relative-to-her) morning.

Permalink

"Hey," says the guy behind the desk. He looks generically attractive in a way that suggests he has arbitrary control over his appearance but is not very creative. "What's up?"

Permalink

"Uh, hi!  Please do not change the amount of leg I have or make me not-a-vampire, but could you check whether I'm being mind controlled?"

Permalink

"- my power's actually not great at divination. If you are being mind-controlled I can probably fix it but I don't get feedback, you'd be the one who could tell if I did anything. Do you have an unusual amount of leg -"

Permalink

"I do.  You can't check without trying something?"

Permalink

"I'm not as powerful as we can get, and I'd probably be able to in another few decades, but not as-is, no."

Permalink

"Okay, thanks anyway!  Uh, I might come back later but I think I shouldn't try anything right now probably."

Permalink

"Okay. Uh, I won't be here forever, the shift'll change eventually, but I've been running slow this shift compared to the main bar."

Permalink

"Oh, okay.  Um, in principle, do you know whether you could, like - increase how much magic I'm able to store when I do the thing that gives me magic, reduce the cooldown on how quickly I can get magic again, make me smarter or have a better memory, uh, increase my vocal range, things like that?"
