In Paraasilan, Esmaar, a pair of roommates are about to break a rule that, compared to the one about running in the corridors or even the one about unlicensed teleportation, is there for a good reason.

In unison, they complete their shared spell.

"...what kind of limitations?" asks the blonde one.

(The lion boy leaves.)

"You have now shown me to Nemaar," she reminds them.

[alicornucopia]

"Yeah," says the blonde girl, "now we just oh no."

"What?" asks her roommate.

"Oh no oh no oh no -"

"What?"

[ending_of]

The administrator raises her eyebrows slightly.

[alicornucopia]

"You can't co-cast a reversal, I can't believe I forgot that, oh no," whimpers the elf.

"They're going to expel me," says the human, paling.

[ending_of]

"Do I correctly understand that you are incapable of returning me?"

[alicornucopia]

"We'll probably be able to after I get a familiar, but that will take a while, months maybe..."

[ending_of]

"I am extremely irritated again."

[alicornucopia]

"I'm sorry," says the blonde girl.

"I'm going to be expelled," wails the dark one.

"They won't expel you, if me getting a familiar doesn't get me enough bonus CC you're the backup."

[ending_of]

The administrator has no comment on this exchange.

[alicornucopia]

"What are we gonna do?" ask Saasnil.

"I have to tell my mom -"

"No, what if we think of something else, what if - can't we send her?"

"No, she's not native."

[ending_of]

"Native?"

[alicornucopia]

"If you were from this world we could put you in another world with a sending spell, but we can't, you're just here because of the summon," says Korulen, clenching her hands in her hair.

[ending_of]

"Your magic has inconvenient properties," she remarks.

[alicornucopia]

"I know. I have to tell my mom."

"We still might think of something though -"

"There's nothing else, we can't unsummon, we can't send, we can't hide her in our bedroom forever. We certainly can't let her out of the circle without Mom clearing her."

[ending_of]

"I am currently restricted to the area defined by this diagram?" she asks.

[alicornucopia]

"Yes," says Korulen. "It's a ward, it's standard with the spell."

[ending_of]

She looks contemplative.

[alicornucopia]

"But as long as you aren't going to murder anybody or anything Mom will probably let you out when she's checked you."

[ending_of]

"Given that your world's magic can summon people from my domain, murdering someone might not inconvenience them very much," she observes.

[alicornucopia]

"I'm still pretty sure she won't let you do it," says the blonde. "Ugh, I still have to actually tell her, this is going to suck..."

"Wait, what do you mean exactly?" asks the human.

[ending_of]

"You are demonstrably able to summon people from my domain," she says. "I connected your world to my domain; all people who have died and objects which have been destroyed here are available to it, and that will remain the case. Unless your magic is incapable of summoning a specified person, anyone who dies here will be immediately retrievable."

[alicornucopia]

"No, it can do specified people - so - Korulen if we -"

"Absolutely not, that's insane," says Korulen.

"Do a lie detection on her!"

"Even if she's not lying she could be out of her mind!"

[ending_of]

"I am neither," says the administrator.

[alicornucopia]

"People who are out of their minds don't necessarily know that. I'm not going to murder my roommate just because -"

"Why are you assuming I'd be the one to get dead?"

"Because I could try summoning you back and then fail because you would be dead."
