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.

"Yeah. Anything that will reliably tell if my power is or is not active can do."

[will_you_still]

"And can other people similarly affect what you do through cameras?"

[mxglam]

"Yep."

[will_you_still]

"Does the several second delay live video have prevent most cameras from affecting things, or does it go through anyway?"

[mxglam]

"What do you mean?"

[will_you_still]

"On traditional live video, there's a few seconds of delay between what's actually happening and when people see it. They still see action as action is happening, but it's action that happened four seconds ago or something. Does that work too?"

[mxglam]

"Oh, right. Well I can't actually affect the past so there's a delay, I can only expect things to happen in the present slash near future, but I think my power has slight clairvoyance about that."

[will_you_still]

Nod. "That's useful. Dangerous if you screw up on live television, but useful."

[mxglam]

"Mmhm. As for the Europe thing, I do need a good reputation, some tinfoil hats are already comparing me to Eidolon, and the only people in the world anyone will believe are capable of actually outright killing an Endbringer are him and Scion, so."

Morgan doesn't correct them and say, 'And me,' because that just seems petty.

"People that think of parahumans as boogeymen wouldn't be bad, either, though you'd have to be extra careful about not looking deadly, otherwise that will run away from you real fast."

[mxglam]

"...that's against the law, you know. That thing you're thinking right now."

[will_you_still]

"You're going to have to clarify what I'm thinking about," says Morgan dryly. "I'm aware that getting you out of the country's illegal, if that's it."

[mxglam]

"Yes, that was it."

[will_you_still]

"I am pretty sure you do not need my help to get out of the country."

[mxglam]

"I don't, but like I said, my rep is here, and not as a boogeyman, just as this whimsical character who can do anything."

[will_you_still]

"... I'm not going to attempt to force you to do anything," she says after a pause. "If I want to persuade you to do something that would be convenient for my plans, I'll try to make the option as appealing as possible, not go, 'Rawr I have a big stick fear me!' So if you want to stay, I mean, feel free. ... But please stop tweaking the Protectorate's nose, Legend's kind of trusting me to get you to stop."

[mxglam]

"Oh dear, you don't know me at all, do you?"

[will_you_still]

"That was incentive to continue," she sighs, "wasn't it."

[mxglam]

"Yes. Yes it was."

[will_you_still]

Teenagers.

"Of course it was."

[mxglam]

"I could stop tweaking their nose, at this point, I suppose. They'd still want to arrest me and such."

[will_you_still]

"Well, of course. They're not going to stop wanting to arrest you unless you join the Protectorate or disappear."

[mxglam]

"And... joining the Protectorate doesn't count as arresting because...?"

[will_you_still]

"Ha! Fair enough."

[mxglam]

"I mean, it's slightly worse than being arrested unless Birdcage because. I mean I like people, don't get me wrong, but dealing with other parahumans is tiptoeing around eggshells."
