[sictransitgloriamundi]

I'll assume you won't have any problems figuring out how to get in.

[and, with that, he vanishes.]

[decohere]

Not the chimney this time? [walks right for the door as if she would any other, half expecting to get bonked right in the face. mostly because it would be hilarious. but this is her trusting him in return!]

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[he's going to think of how funny that would have been in a few hours and kick himself.

but, instead, she enters the bridge, which is the usual lumpy couch and media-covered floor, the Captain crouched on the former. but, no weird light.]

[decohere]

[it would have been SO funny.

already having a vague idea of what to expect, she's not entirely caught off guard by the rather untidy interior as she glances around. part of her expected a bit more, but maybe that's all he's willing to show. Ava watches her feet as she steps over a pile of videos toward the couch.] Cozy. But you've been staying elsewhere lately, hm?

[very light teasing, peering into corners and up at the ceiling, wondering where the Erda Flow is hiding.]

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[faint grin] Perhaps.

[he watches her for a moment before clearing his throat.]

I'm afraid the Erda have been rather... distracted, of late. I'm not quite sure by what, but I suppose when you're a collective force of creation, there's all sorts of things you can find distracting. [pause] It may take a few times for them to respond to me.

[decohere]

[hehe.]

Distracted as if... somebody else might be trying to use it? [a thoughtful hum... she gestures for permission to sit since she's still trying to feel out his boundaries.

she has so many questions, but rather just observe first what he intends to demonstrate of the process.]

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Not necessarily. Or likely; no one else knows how to communicate with them. [shrugs] They can just be a bit... childish, I suppose. Easily distracted.

[and if he's the one saying this...]

[decohere]

[little smile where she politely declines to say no wonder you get along.]

Ah, so the ship you gave Jenny didn't have such a thing? [but she doesn't want to get too distracted herself, knows her own tendency to veer the conversation off too quickly before she's ever gotten her first answers.]

So how do you communicate with them?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

No, that one was more of an nganga situation...

[long pause]

Talking.

[decohere]

[yeah no idea what that is, but going to try and remember it for future reference...]

... Other people don't know how to talk? [okay so she's met quite a few people that are irritating to communicate with.] Or is it in some special language?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

It's like... [waves hand vaguely

absolutely nothing in the room has changed.]

[decohere]

[looks around in anticipation of something happening with the gesture, nose scrunching at the complete lack of change. leaving Ava wondering if she's too magic dumb to even make sense of any of it. also waves vaguely.]

Some things are easier to demonstrate than explain?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

No, it's... mental. [pause] I only ever speak aloud to it because I've never quite gotten over how awkward telepathy can look.

[decohere]

Ah, I wouldn't know. [only person she can talk to in her head is herself, which she does. quite a lot.] So somebody like me wouldn't be able.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Not necessarily. I think they have to... choose, to do it. [leans head on hand] They're attracted to those who have the scent of destiny around them, I've found.

[decohere]

So you're pretty special. [grins] And smelly.

But let's see it, then. I'm excited. I want to see where everything comes from.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Alright.

[...


....



........]

[decohere]

[quiet sort of worry the longer nothing seems to happen, oh no has the Captain's magical destiny smell run out? that seems bad.

or maybe it's performance anxiety.

or is Sparkles somehow siphoning his powers away???? using them up on all this dream magic?]

Would it help if I... uh. Look away?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

No, it's. Fine. It just doesn't seem to be the right time.

[he certainly sounds like it's not a big deal.]

[decohere]

[pretty sure it's absolutely not fine at all but...] Yeah, maybe they're napping.

Do you want to take your turn, then? Truth or dare?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

I suppose... I have a truth in mind, if you care to pick that. A dare might require some thought.

[decohere]

Truth, then. Since you were so generous. And I'm curious.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[a pause]

The thing I'm not meant to know. How... dire is it, exactly?

[decohere]

Oh... [her face probably says it all.]

Potentially reality-ending levels bad, by my estimation. I've been trying to get more answers, but I'm... at a bit of a dead end with no viable solutions. But you know I'm prone to paranoid conspiracies. Could be... less bad? [doesn't sound all that convinced.]

... Are you worried?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

... I'm worried because he's worried.
