He's moving her to a different court to see if it'll improve her attitude. She's allowed to fly. It's been a long, long time since she was allowed to -

She is only allowed to fly to her destination, not anywhere else. She notices that she is not where she should be, that she cannot progress to where she was told to go, and she careens out of control when her wings won't flap anymore, and she crashes.

"If I give you my address, can you find it or have Tea find it for you?"

[imeanforever]

"Tea, will you help me find Castle's address?"

[eversomuchfun]

"Sure."

[imeanforever]

"Yes, Tea can find it for me."

[kingsidecastle]

Castle gives an address.

[imeanforever]

"We'll be there soon."

Promise relays the address to Tea.

[eversomuchfun]

"Oh, I know where that is." Off to Castle's house they go.

[imeanforever]

Promise again travels invisibly.

[eversomuchfun]

They arrive. Tea knocks.

[kingsidecastle]

Castle opens the door.

"Hello," she says. "Tea, would you like to join this discussion?"

[eversomuchfun]

"I could lurk beneath your windowsill instead, but honestly inviting me in seems simpler all round."

[kingsidecastle]

"I see your logic. You may come in," she says.

[eversomuchfun]

"Thank you."

[imeanforever]

Promise comes in too and once indoors de-invisibles.

[kingsidecastle]

"Welcome. I suppose it would be rude to offer you food, but there's tea for Tea."

[imeanforever]

"I don't know about rude per se, but I wouldn't have taken any." Promise has her notebook. "What did you try before you got to chess magic?"

[kingsidecastle]

"I didn't keep a list. I've been working with geometric forms since I've been doing magic at all; I played with a few ideas early on for how to extend the system sensibly, chess was the one that clicked, and then I built from there. I didn't construct any elaborate systems that went on to fail, or anything."

[imeanforever]

"What constitutes 'sensible' against such a backdrop?"

[kingsidecastle]

"'Sensible' in this case means 'in a way that made sense to me personally'."

[imeanforever]

"Do concepts along the lines of 'geometric forms' have features that make them useful to grab hold of in those terms apart from what happens to fit neatly in one's mind?"

[kingsidecastle]

"I'm not sure I understand what you mean."

[imeanforever]

"From the perspective of the mortal magic mishmash, is 'geometry' a thing?"

[kingsidecastle]

"I'm not sure whether that's a meaningful question, or how I would find out the answer if it was," she says. "Geometry-focused traditions definitely exist. So do traditions that don't seem to interact with geometry at all."

[imeanforever]

"Do the geometry focused ones have anything else in common?"

[kingsidecastle]

Shrug. "I'm not familiar enough with all of them to say. Off the top of my head it doesn't seem like they do, at least not in a substantial or obvious way."
