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.

"Absolute," he says, as if there was no question to it. "If you threw the Moon at the Siberian it would have a Siberian-shaped hole on it. If she decides to move to a given location, she will move to that given location, period, and whatever gets in her way will either be destroyed or just pushed away depending on how fast she decides to go. She usually doesn't go too fast, she likes walking at a leisurely pace, but she can challenge our strength-based speedsters."

...

That's terrifying.

"I see," says Morgan.

She - does not think she wants to test her invulnerability against that. Ever.

[peterxy]

He nods gravely then moves on to the next member, a woman with white hair and white irises edged in black. "Winter's power is creating a dampening effect that causes locations to lose heat, moving objects to lose inertia, and humans to lose will. If she is around someone, her influence can slowly cause the person to be unable to do anything, and only watch passively as even the most horrific of tortures is applied to them. They do not stop feeling pain, however; they merely do not have the mental capacity to react to it in any meaningful way. She is also proficient with firearms, and frequently uses a sniper rifle to maim her targets. She doesn't typically kill them with it, though. She prefers doing it personally."

[will_you_still]

Nod.

"I am quite bulletproof, but - is there a known way to prevent the loss of will? I believe my complete-fail condition is getting caught in her dampening effect and then getting hit by Siberian. Jack would still be my priority, but Winter is currently my secondary."

[peterxy]

"She has a range, though we are not currently sure what it is, and her effects are weaker the farther away from her you are."

[will_you_still]

Another nod. Morgan looks thoughtful.

(She is planning tactics, she'll need to see if she can get super-strong mirrors that are unlikely to break for dealing with corners, possibly some kind of custom-made goggles from a Tinker to improve from her binoculars, how to combine with Alexandria or Legend or Eidolon or the list of capes she's looked up on the internet -)

[peterxy]

Next cape!

"Chuckles. His head and legs have superspeed, his chest and arms have superstrength. He's absolutely insane, but on his own not particularly threatening to you, I expect."

[will_you_still]

She shakes her head. "He could potentially combine well with one of the others to cause trouble, if Jack or someone used him intelligently, but no. Not on his own."

[peterxy]

"Nice Guy, might be almost on par with the Siberian in danger-level. It is impossible to see him as a threat. He may be stabbing you to death and you still won't know what hit you. You'll still know he's there, mind you, but the idea that he could be anything other than an innocent bystander would never cross your mind."

[will_you_still]

"... Does he otherwise have ordinary human capabilities?"

[peterxy]

"Yes."

[will_you_still]

"Can he stretch his power to people besides himself?"

[peterxy]

"No, only himself."

[will_you_still]

"Does his range extend to people looking through cameras?"

[peterxy]

"He has never been caught on camera, we do not know, assume yes."

[will_you_still]

"When you say 'I could not think of him as anything but an innocent bystander,' do you mean that exactly? Not 'I could not think of him as anything but my most trusted friend' or 'I do not acknowledge his existence at all'?"

[peterxy]

"I mean you will be unable to believe he is capable of causing harm while he is around."

[will_you_still]

"Do you know if I keep my preferences for personal space?"

[peterxy]

"If he is violating them to cause harm, you do not."

[will_you_still]

"What's the definition of harm? Purely physical?"

[peterxy]

"He has not attempted any other kind that we know of."

[will_you_still]

"Could he talk me into agreeing, to, say, rip my own head off, or is it purely the acts of violence that he himself does that are ignored?"

[peterxy]

"Probably the latter, but he hasn't tried that to our knowledge either."

[will_you_still]

"Does he make me not think I am being harmed?"

[peterxy]

"No, but you will be very confused about the source of the harm. And typically he kills his target fairly quickly and leaves their colleagues to wonder what just happened."
