exploratory kidnapping

In this room are two women, one gray and sixty years old, one just thirty and red-haired, both wearing elaborate outfits. The younger casts a spell.

In this room is now also a third person. (On whom the elder woman promptly also casts a spell, which she had at the ready.)
missnicegirl: Looking up from a book. (η and your point is...?)

"Terali's in a book?" Matilda peers at the book. "And that's a coincidence, this is the same school that the hearer I met goes to. I was planning to see if I could teach ialdae here so she could learn it, because she caught it when I made her immortal."

missnicegirl: Gazing intently at a Cheerio from close range. (κ concentrating)

"Oh dear," frowns Matilda. "Now I definitely want to see her research notes..."
missnicegirl: Walking down the lane towing a wagon of books. (θ back from the library)

"That might depend on whether or not I ask nicely first."
missnicegirl: Calm. (ζ total serenity)

"That makes sense. I don't want to steal them, I just want to see them. And I haven't decided yet whether I want to ask nicely before I try anything."

"I don't have to say I'm annoyed and suspicious," she says. "Yet. I can say 'Terali, you're always taking notes and I bet they're interesting. Can I see them?' And see what she says."

"Yes, but if she's afraid to lie to me and I become very interested in her interworld magic research project because I want to know what kinds of magic there are, I will probably notice if there are things she doesn't want to show me. And I think you're right about her being afraid to lie to me. Maybe I should really learn ialdic lie detection, too..."
missnicegirl: Smirking. (δ you heard me)

"Thanks!"

Matilda opens the book.

Matilda reads really fast.
missnicegirl: Sitting outside, reading a book. (ι under a tree)

[personal profile] missnicegirl 2015-03-26 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
She isn't quite satisfied with any of the particular kinds, but she gets a very clear idea of the kind of more generalized and flexible lie detection she might want to be able to do with ialdae.

Maybe she can just... make one.

She thinks over her design, and tells it to exist, and it does.

"I think it's getting easier to teach ialdae new things," she announces. "And I have my lie detection and I want to test it."
missnicegirl: Grinning hugely. (α because of cookies)

Matilda giggles. "It works!"
missnicegirl: Looking up from a book. (η and your point is...?)

"Arguable but false, tentative, true, vague but true," she summarizes.
missnicegirl: Smirking. (δ you heard me)

"It wasn't quite the same, but I don't have an exact technical vocabulary for the complicated lie detection I invented five ticks ago."
