does not anymore work

[campanas]

Here, in a place where she is quite an unexpected sight, is:

an eight year old girl with brown-flecked white wings, looking dismayed and lost.

"Malaria can stop existing, as far as I know. Anyway, we've already got powers as good as magic. Not as good as your magic, but I think--I think we'll do okay.
Although, given that Emily and I promised to call Jane rather than doing something regrettable...you said you were tucking her somewhere out of the way in our world? Does the not-quite-telepathy magic you gave us have a range limit?"

[bellfounding]

"Brainphone has no range limit within a world. Will not work between sheaves. The question is if all the malarial parasites suddenly die, what will people think happened? Is it locally explicable."

[whatamithinking]

"I guess not. Pessimistically, I can imagine someone deciding a mutant did it and God invented mosquitos for some reason and therefore mutants are evil and should die. That probably won't actually happen, but...no one expected the Holocaust would happen either. So maybe not." sigh. "Do you have any indirect ways of doing it that we could claim to have scienced? We have science people here."

[bellfounding]

"Peace wiped it out by exterminating relevant mosquito species, Atlantis just had such a massive flood that all the continents where it was a going concern wound up uninhabited - Gift might have something."

[mind_game]

[Gift has something, but it's a vaccine. Distribution would be the problem.]

[bellfounding]

"And everybody else has done it openly or not had the problem in the first place."

[whatamithinking]

"Did I mention Papa has a ridiculously obscene amount of money? Vaccines aren't a perfect solution, but they're something."

[bellfounding]

"You still might have a distribution problem, making sure they get everywhere and that people want to receive them and so on."

[whatamithinking]

"Hence why they're not a perfect solution."

[bellfounding]

"Well, anyway, Jane can tell whoever would make use of the information how to make a malaria vaccine, and all the other vaccines she has on file, somebody can pretend they're just a vaccine genius."

[whatamithinking]

"Alright."
[The best person would probably be Henry McCoy,] she tells Jane. [He's down in the lab that the Milliways door overrode the door to. He's pretty much an everything genius. Everything sciency, anyway.]

[mind_game]

[I can also hear you if you talk aloud while somebody with one of my gems is around,] Jane remarks. [Will he be startled if I brainphone him?]

[whatamithinking]

"Probably. Hang on."
'Hank, in a minute someone is going to do a weird thing. Don't drop anything delicate, okay?
Oh, and, uh, if you see Papa walking, it's not Aunt Raven being a dick.
(summary of the past whatever amount of time)'

[maggie_of_the_owls]

'I see,' he replies after a stunned pause. 'I...won't drop anything, then.'

[whatamithinking]

"Okay, I warned him."

[mind_game]

[Hello! In what format do you prefer to receive formulae for vaccines?]

[maggie_of_the_owls]

[Well, if you...}

[whatamithinking]

"So, is there anything else to be done here right now?"

[bellfounding]

"I can put down an earthquake and volcano suppression, unless your weather mutant handles those? Just to keep the really big ones under control. Statistical anomaly, but only statistical."

[whatamithinking]

"No, she mostly does sky-based stuff. That's a good idea."

[bellfounding]

"Done. Vaccines in progress, place is Downsided... I don't think there's anything else particularly urgent."

[whatamithinking]

"Okay. If I think of anything when I've come down off the high of having gotten everything I've ever really wanted, I'll tell Jane."

[bellfounding]

"Cool. Thanks for looking after Pen and being chill about the whole interdimensional superbeings thing."

[whatamithinking]

"You're very welcome. I mean, she was a child, we couldn't find her parents, of course we were going to look after her."

[bellfounding]

"If only everyone thought that way. Anyway, I'm off."

And she's off.
