My bunny slippers just ran for cover

[will_you_still]

Morgan doesn't strictly need to sleep. Even if she didn't want to put up with the annoyance of constantly having a caffeine buzz and having to ask for coffee on almost every summon, there are naps. Naps can keep a daeva going for quite a long time.

But there's something unutterably pleasant about curling up in a proper bed in pajamas and just sleeping. And then waking up and getting breakfast in those pajamas. So she does that, because immortality's a long unpleasant time if you don't enjoy the little things every now and then. Like adorable bunny slippers and soft pajamas and sleeping in.

She's midway through a fruity salad thing that counts as the standard fairy breakfast when she feels the summon. Showing up to a summon in pajamas? Eh. If they're proper summoners she bets they've seen worse, and she doesn't particularly care if they think she's unprofessional.

She puts her spoon down and accepts the summon.

"Please, sit," she says, and takes a seat herself. The woman with her doesn't say anything and doesn't take a seat, though. Both Alexandria and Eidolon do. "I heard you have quite useful powers and are responsible for the Leviathan's disappearance and the Simurgh's odd behavior." She has a slight French accent, barely noticeable.

[will_you_still]

Well it'd just be rude not to sit, so she does. Not that she thinks the woman with her is rude. Possibly a bodyguard, she's not sure.

She smiles a bit. "I am. How much have they told you already?"

[peterxy]

"Everything, I do believe. You see, we've been working for years on getting rid of the Endbringers with little success. At the current rate, our estimations are that we will be facing an end of the world scenario in approximately thirty years."

[will_you_still]

"From the Endbringers? How often do they show up?"

[peterxy]

"Once every two to four months. The same Endbringer never attacks twice in a row since the Leviathan showed up. I'm not sure if you know, but our version of Japan has been mostly destroyed by the Leviathan, with Kyushu having been completely sunk. You probably saved Newfoundland from a similar fate, but the Behemoth has caused similarly extensive damage and it's basically impossible to gauge how much the Simurgh has affected."

[will_you_still]

Morgan nods, looking grim.

"Well, I think I should be kept far far away from the Simurgh, but I might be able to kill Leviathan with some help or more time without the Simurgh showing up. I don't know enough about Behemoth to say if I could do much at all. It's more like Leviathan than the Simurgh, right?"

[acanofworms]

"Only in that he can't see the future or affect people's minds," Alexandria says. "He's fifteen feet taller than the Leviathan, and a dynakinetic."

"If you work through telescopes it might be possible to do something about the Simurgh before she can properly affect you or retaliate. We have to assume whatever plans she has already take you into account."

[will_you_still]

Another nod. "I'll try whatever looks promising with her, so long as she doesn't have a chance to get in my head again. If I can get her out of the solar system she'll have a hell of a time getting back without my level of telekinesis. And Behemoth can come with me on a field trip for scientific experimentation into killing Endbringers - is there a way you could get me some sort of device that will help with navigating in space? Otherwise I have to keep Earth in view so I don't get hopelessly lost."

[acanofworms]

"I had another idea."

[will_you_still]

"Oh?"

[acanofworms]

"We're not on the same Earth you arrived in."

[will_you_still]

Blink.

"Ah, that is good," she says, slightly stunned.

[peterxy]

"And we have access to universes that do not have an Earth in them," the Doctor says.

[will_you_still]

"That's useful. Are you able to check for other sentient species?"

[acanofworms]

"We're able to check for lack of obvious signs of sentient species within a certain radius, to the same extent we're pretty sure there aren't any at least in Solar Systems near ours."

[will_you_still]

That's not a perfect solution, but - yeah, okay. There's not much else she can ask for there. The universe is really damn big. She nods.

"Can I ask how the portal power works?"

[peterxy]

"Doormaker can open doors from pretty much anywhere to anywhere else, but he's effectively deaf and blind due to his power. Clairvoyant can see and hear anywhere and has the wherewithal to process what he sees, and can also project it to other people. They work together to open and close portals where we need them to."

[will_you_still]

Oooooo. No wonder they keep that a secret, that's beautiful.

"Clairvoyant might not be a good medium for using my powers, but if not," she says, "I would love to join that beautiful group and move things where needed."

[acanofworms]

"There is a slight problem with that idea," says Alexandria.

"Once Clairvoyant stops touching his recipient, they become overwhelmed by it and tend to be stuck in bed for at least a week due to that. He and Doormaker never stop touching."

[will_you_still]

"Can he project it to multiple people?"

[peterxy]

"He automatically projects to everyone he is touching."

[will_you_still]

"Okay. So I consent to trying that, but lack the knowledge to get a good time for when."

[peterxy]

"It... might not be the best idea to test it right now. If your power turns out not to work through him, you will be unavailable for a week, and the Simurgh might want to get revenge then."

"The Endbringers have never tried that," says Eidolon.

"They've never tried to rescue one another, either. We're dealing with something on an entirely different scale, here."

[will_you_still]

"Now would be a bad time," she agrees. "Is there a plan for if the Simurgh wants vengeance?"

[peterxy]

"We don't have much in the way of plans when it comes to Endbringers. Currently our best idea was finding her with a telescope and having you shunt her to another universe as fast as we could, and then checking with Clairvoyant to see if you could then move her to a black hole or a neutron star."
