odd little alucine

[affodell]

It's never previously occurred to Cayra to put a door across an alucine boundary, but now that she's encountered it in practice it makes sense. It makes it visually obvious and it lets you lock it if you want. This door wasn't locked, and it looked like it led to a public bathroom, not a bar, from the signage, so she's still confused. Still, it's a good idea. She twists open the glass vial pendant around her neck and bends her head to the little blue lily inside to make a note of it; as an afterthought she tries to send it off to her antheomancer-chatcircle, anything to have a decent conversation, but it doesn't go. Her flower doesn't look wilting, but she can put it back in the garden and get a fresher one for the vial later. At least her personal files look okay. She closes up the vial again, giving the flower a touch of antheomancy for its health, and finds a bathroom inside the bar that dominates this little alucine.

And then she emerges into the bar. It doesn't seem to be staffed. Or stocked. Why wasn't it locked?

Hello, anybody here?

"My magic can block yours and your magic was able to help me. It's working out pretty well."

[affodell]

"I didn't wind up actually doing that much to help you," Cayra points out. "Magically, anyway."

[midst_of_threads]

"If you hadn't been there I would've probably floated along inside the threads forever, if I'd even thought to look. Your magic kept them from hurting you."

[affodell]

"Okay, fair."

Flynn turns to the medomancer, "Would it be okay if we talked to you for a while? I'm trying to understand how humans work and why we die."

[affodell]

"I - yes, but it's - a little hard to interpret some of my memories. It was... strange."

[midst_of_threads]

"Can you tell us what it felt like?"

[affodell]

"Well, it was very gradual - and when it was in full swing I didn't think of my own thoughts any more than I did anyone else's, so I didn't consider them in much detail," apologizes the medeomancer. "It's like trying to remember how many times my mother used a certain word when I was less than a year old - it's not that I couldn't hear her, it's that this isn't what infants notice - do you see?"

Flynn nods, "Thank you."
She turns to glance at Cayra, "We're going to stop death. We're hoping you can give us a place to begin."

[affodell]

"I'll do what I can. It'd be easier if I could examine one of you -"

"Go for it," Cayra says. "I'm not automancied beyond baseline, I should be okay."

And the medeomancer peers at her with his magic and reports what he knows.

[midst_of_threads]

They listen to the medeomancer's words for almost an hour and promise to return the next day.

As they walk away, Flynn turns to Cayra "Do you think we can do this? Get rid of death?"

[affodell]

"Sure. You can get rid of vices and a fully realized automancer is immortal. The question is how fast and how efficiently."

[midst_of_threads]

"We'd better get started then!"

[affodell]

"Hell yes."
