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.

"Knock yourself out. There's people who translate, but, y'know, they're not dragons."

[alicornucopia]

"Dragons're pretty great. Hmmm." Kaylo peers at the map's activity. "Remind me what you wanted to accomplish by getting me to quiz you and propose experiments?"

[aeskhyne]

The map has been practically fizzing this whole time, as Teah answers prayers all around the world.

"My unlikely dream goal is to be able to be 'on' full-time here and at home, somehow. But if I can't have that, which I probably can't, I still want to figure out what the limits are of being me - what it's safe to do with my body, if I can magic it so people don't need to keep feeding it, if I can wake it up again, if I can wake it up again and stay 'on' while it's awake. And if there's anything I can change about how I work. Multitasking or something, I dunno."

[alicornucopia]

"I'm gonna go have a look at your body with this analysis on," says Kaylo, getting up.

[aeskhyne]

"Good plan."

He goess off to answer some more prayers, keeping half an eye on Kaylo in between.

[alicornucopia]

Kaylo successfully traverses the distance between his room and the room where Teah's body is being stored. He tries the door, which he figures should let him in since Teah wants to let him.

[aeskhyne]

The door does let him in! There is the sleeping body of Teah.

There's definitely something vaguely rainbowy about him, even when god-Teah's attention is completely elsewhere. He is Teah-like; he has Teah-ness. But definitely not the same way as the Teah that is zipping around answering prayers at that very moment.

[alicornucopia]

"Well, there's some you-magic here. It's just not - doing anything. I assume you already looked into waking him up yourself?"

[aeskhyne]

"Kind of afraid to try it, actually, on general 'I don't know what's going on with him' principles."

[alicornucopia]

"You want to plan to do that in about an angle and I can try another instance of the foretelling?"

[aeskhyne]

"Sure. Should we get an accomplice to intend to come ask him something in Draconic again?"

[alicornucopia]

"An accomplice to plan to ask him something in Draconic and then knock him out with a sleep spell," says Kaylo, checking for a pulse. Yep, there's a pulse. "To make sure you come back in with no problems if he falls asleep again."

[aeskhyne]

"Sure. I'll ask Leekath."

Flying paper bird for Leekath! It says: We're trying another foretelling about my body; do you know a sleep spell you can plan to go knock him out with after you ask him which way to the bottom of the world in Draconic?

[alicornucopia]

"No," Leekath tells the note, when it has recited itself to her, "but I can look one up."

[aeskhyne]

Okay. Should be about an angle. Want me to send a library creature to get you a book?

[alicornucopia]

"Yes please. I like those creatures, they're nice."

[aeskhyne]

I'm glad you like them! I'm proud of them.

He investigates books in the library and makes a new library creature, white with little black wings and little black feet, to transport an appropriate one to Leekath. This one is her particular creature, as opposed to the rest of the ones in the school library which are just sort of general library denizens.

[alicornucopia]

Leekath is very charmed by her very own library creature. She names it Hhise and pets it when it has fetched her the book. She looks up the sleep spell she wants.

[aeskhyne]

Teah is glad she is charmed! That is the point of Hhise, is to charm her. Library creatures are charming. Also tiny and fluffy.

[alicornucopia]

They are all these things.

Kaylo draws a diagram - his floor is getting kind of crowded; he will need to clear away old diagrams soon - and casts the foretelling.

[aeskhyne]

The result is: Teah's body becomes conscious very, very briefly - not long enough to hear or answer any questions; barely long enough to open his eyes. The floor subsequently becomes purple, so at least nothing terrible happens to the godlike Teah along the way.

[alicornucopia]

"Well, that's not particularly encouraging. Call her off, I guess," sighs Kaylo.

[aeskhyne]

Leekath's paper bird updates her on this news.

[alicornucopia]

Leekath nods.
