"I don't suppose there are large swaths of people who need to be healed of diseases?"

Permalink

"Not large swaths, but there are sick. Why," he asks, grinning, "can you help with that?"

Permalink

"I'm a healing goddess's acolyte. I can heal pretty much any disease with a touch." She holds up a hand. "I'm not the only one, so Perinixu's domain is well in hand there, and visiting the neighbors and curing their adherents is a good way to start a fight, but you don't have any gods, do you?"

Permalink

"Not any personified ones, no."

Permalink

"Is there any reason I shouldn't haul in a large quantity of holy water and see if I can get a satellite domain for Perinixu started across planar borders while I'm at it?"

Permalink

"Well, what effects does that have, and what sort of goddess is she?"

Permalink

"She's a healing goddess. She likes things tidy - some people find her nitpicky about it, but she only imposes the requirements on people who are actually in her service. Places that are part of her domain are places where she can send her physical form, if she has one at that time, and generate new holy water - water is her specifically, it depends on the deity, Rae does holy sand - and issue blessings and so on. It also has slow terrain shift effects. In Perinixu's case, highlands with plenty of springs."

Permalink

"Hm. That's - doable, but fair warning, New Kystle's tidelocked. I don't know if that'll cause problems or not. You might be better off snagging an unclaimed part of Kystle, it's currently being resettled after terraforming. Lots of free space to grab, and no problem with tidelocking."

Permalink

"I may as well try both if Perinixu's up for it. Is there a way to get holy water to Kystle?"

Permalink

"Well, I could put a portal from here to there, or you could go to New Kystle and take the portal from there to Kystle."

Permalink

"The existing portal chain would be fine, I just wasn't sure if there already was one. Perinixu, do you want me to see if I can establish sites for you in other planes?"

Permalink

"Perhaps," says the goddess to Aya. "What gods are there?"

Permalink

"None in the planes in question, or at least not as make themselves clear. The ones from Ice's world that resurrect people can apparently reach across planes just fine but they aren't bothering you here so I don't imagine they'd be a problem anywhere else except maybe Ice's home world, which I wasn't suggesting."

Permalink

"Hmmm. Then, yes. This would please me, if there were people with ailments to cure."

Permalink

"The planet that sounds like it has more people on it is tide-locked. Sound worth trying anyway?"

Permalink
"I am not the goddess of the night or day, child."

That means yes.
Permalink

"Yes, I'm just wondering how it'll interact with the temperature - if it's boiling or freezing how your springs will come up. Well, I guess we'll see."

Permalink

"That we will," she agrees.

Permalink

"If I just go fill up a couple of barrels of water," Aya says to Prime, "and bike through this portal, is anyone going to stop me or give me trouble or anything, and is there a good obvious place to put a spring?"

Permalink

"No one is going to stop you," agrees Prime. "I can pick out some good places for it, near the portal hub's an obvious choice so you can get to lots of places quickly, though if you prefer you can just get a portal to it and be where ever."

Permalink

"Should I go fill up now or should we schedule this for a later date?"

Permalink

"Now works, I don't see why not. Fair warning, this portal goes through my house."

Permalink

"Unless your house is too cramped for my bike I don't see why that would be a problem." Aya goes and gets her bike.

Permalink

Prime eyes the bike, and then pronounces, "It's not, I was just being thorough."

Permalink

"If Aya's going on an adventure to another plane, can I come, too?"
