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.

"It's an entire world," shrugs Keo. "With lots of magic and culture and scenery. What sorts of things do you like?"

[lookingforwardtoit]

"Scenery sounds nice," says Eights. "There kind of isn't any, Downside."

[alicornucopia]

"Isn't there? Well, if we just walk out this building, there's mostly grassland, some patches of trees. I can teleport a few places around the world - extremely chilly mountains? Forests? Edge of the planet? Beach?"

[lookingforwardtoit]

"Edge of the planet sounds interesting. But grassland and trees is just fine if you're busy."

[alicornucopia]

"Nothing overwhelmingly pressing. My official job description is being my husband's secretary," shrugs Keo, "and he's not busy at the moment. I have to be touching you to teleport you." She holds out a hand.

[lookingforwardtoit]

Eights takes it.

[alicornucopia]

Keo casts a spell, and here is: the edge of the world.

It's very... edgy.

[lookingforwardtoit]

"Nice," she says, peering over it. "Reminds me of the cliffs, kinda. But I've never seen those from up top."

[alicornucopia]

"It's not really a cliff; if you walk over the edge you'll swing around over to the side."

[lookingforwardtoit]

Naturally, she tries it.

"Cool!"

[alicornucopia]

"If you'd warned me you were going to do that I would have warned you it tends to be nausea-inducing," says Keo dryly.

[lookingforwardtoit]

She laughs, and walks back over to the top.

[alicornucopia]

"So this is the edge of the world, it sounds more interesting than it actually is. Anything else you want to see?"

[lookingforwardtoit]

She shrugs. "Forests? Mountains? How chilly are the mountains?"

[alicornucopia]

"Pretty chilly. Though it's spring, so not as bad as they could be. I'm only ever up there to visit my sister."

[lookingforwardtoit]

"I could go for pretty chilly mountains. I like heights."

[alicornucopia]

"Do you want to borrow a coat?"

[lookingforwardtoit]

"Sure, if you've got a spare one. No big deal, though."

[alicornucopia]

Keo holds out her hand again. When Eights takes it, she teleports them to her and Kanaat's room. There is an egg in a basket in an incubation box with red light pouring from the top of it the same way white light filters down from the ceilings of the rooms.

Keo grabs a coat out of a closet and hands it over, then pulls on a different one for herself.

[lookingforwardtoit]

Eights dons the coat. The style is unfamiliar, but coats are still coats.

[alicornucopia]

And Keo teleports her to some extremely scenic and chilly mountains in Pleia. There is ice and clouds and plants and rocks and a canyon with a river full of icemelt.

Meanwhile, there is a knock on the door of the room currently harboring the admin.

[ending_of]

Curious.

"Yes?"

[alicornucopia]

A human-looking boy with red irises opens the door, and is deeply surprised by the contents. "Oh. I thought this was Korulen's room. Who are you?"

[ending_of]

"Korulen has moved," she says. "She and her roommate accidentally summoned me to this world. I am an administrator."

[alicornucopia]

"...She did not seem like the casual summoning type. Oookay. Administrator of what?"
