I Like Long Walks On The Beach

[iamnotpolaris]

The beach is a nice, convenient, out-of-earshot place to calibrate the coordinates for this universe.

Aww. Well now they will just have to snuggle her some more.

[whatamithinking]

This is good and yes.

Snuggles.

[iamnotpolaris]

"I'm back! You missed my sister and the demon and a frankly lovely purple dragon being adorable."

[not_only]

"What were they adorably doing?"

[iamnotpolaris]

"Snuggling. It helped that they all had wings."

[not_only]

"That does sound adorable."

[iamnotpolaris]

"It was so adorable! I had to leave before I had a feelings overload. Here, have a dimensional armband."

[not_only]

"Thank you."

[iamnotpolaris]

"You're welcome. Normally just one person having an armband is enough, at least if it's me, but as Terraria demonstrated there are ways to get separated."

[not_only]

"Terraria demonstrated...?"

[iamnotpolaris]

"Oh, right, we actually showed up on separate islands. Edie doored over to me smart quick, though, and I don't think we ever mentioned it."

[not_only]

"Oh. That's... that does sound very Terraria."

[iamnotpolaris]

"She was incredibly creeped out by the flesh statue even before it called her by name."

[not_only]

"...Because of telepathy things?"

[iamnotpolaris]

"Because of telepathy, yeah. With a handful of exceptions, things that look like they should have minds but don't are super creepy for her."

[not_only]

"Exceptions like what?"

[iamnotpolaris]

"Dad has an anti-telepathy helmet, and mostly he doesn't wear it but sometimes he does, and this happened often enough throughout our childhood that she's used to it. And apparently that generalizes across his alts."

[not_only]

"Oh. I guess that sort of makes sense."

[iamnotpolaris]

"I think mostly it generalizes across his alts because they all look the same so with the helmet on she can't really tell the difference, to be honest."

[not_only]

"...Well, if you ever find an alt of him who looks different, I guess you'll know."

[iamnotpolaris]

"I guess we'll know! I'll think she'd probably end up irrationally overprotective of them even if they creeped her out, though."

[not_only]

"Hmm?"

[iamnotpolaris]

"Well, not necessarily, it depends on if they need it, but you saw how broken up she was over the one who ended up a villain."

[not_only]

Nod nod.

[iamnotpolaris]

"I mean, I wasn't happy about it either, but it was much more...personal, for her, that there wasn't anything she could do about it."
