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.

"Hmm. I wonder if we could fib with my legal documents, anyway. I've been emancipated for, uh, a few years."

[will_you_still]

"Probably. I'll ask for specifics of how this all works, report back to you?"

[mxglam]

"I am very suspicious of this but now you have ultimate blackmail on me so by all means."

[will_you_still]

Sigh.

"I am not going to use ultimate blackmail on you. Do you want some deep dark secret about me in exchange so you can believe I'm not going to betray or give you bad information or manipulate you?"

[mxglam]

"And what's my next thought when you say this?"

[will_you_still]

"That I'm going to lie to you so that you trust me when you shouldn't, to make you easier to manipulate," she sighs. "I get it. But I'm kind of in a catch twenty-two here. I don't have a way to prove that I won't hurt you except by not hurting you, except you can eternally think, 'She's waiting for the right moment to use the ultimate blackmail.'"

[mxglam]

Glam laughs. "And given that you do have ultimate blackmail, it's kind of a moot point. I have to trust you. I'm not about to, I dunno, kill you or something, I'm one of the good guys."

[will_you_still]

"... Killing me is quite impossible for anything that does not break physics harder than the Endbringers, or something that convinces me to kill myself. There are better ways to be rid of me, including asking me to go away. If you ever get that desperate."

[mxglam]

Blink. "That." Pause. "Thanks for telling me that? Endbringers break physics? You break physics harder than them?"

[will_you_still]

"Endbringers don't actually have internal organs. They're multi-layered, kind of onion-like. The center layer is so impossibly dense that it breaks physics. My telekinesis cannot rip that apart, or crush it in any way." Pause. "So since I had my unbreakability pretty well proven to me, I tried ripping all of the layers off of Leviathan I could, and then using myself as a bullet to hit him. I worked my way up to top speed. This was starting to work until the Simurgh showed up to ruin my fun."

[mxglam]

"Oh. So that's what happened."

[will_you_still]

"Yep. Unpleasant things are only unpleasant to a certain point. I get sleepy, but I will never pass out from exhaustion or lose too much coherency. I can get stabbed, but not very deeply and I'll heal pretty quickly. I can get hungry, but never starve - you get the idea. It's pretty convenient. I have no way of testing to see if it extends to the Simurgh's song, and will never do that because that is in the running for the worst idea of all time."

[mxglam]

"That. Is a pretty impressive power. How the hell did you even test that?"

[will_you_still]

"Well to start with I showed up during Leviathan's attack and had it proven to me pretty thoroughly that I am damn hard to kill, and the rest is easy enough with empirical testing if you don't mind living on coffee for a while for science and the like."

This is not how she tested it, but you could conceivably test it like that.

[mxglam]

"That is. A pretty damn good power. Unkillable and super-telekinetic? Wow."

[will_you_still]

"Yeah. And they combine well if I'm crazy enough to use myself as a battering ram. Which I am."

[mxglam]

"...I think you may not be okay in the head, maybe."

[will_you_still]

"If I'm crazy, it is a very convenient type of crazy."

[mxglam]

"Yes. So it seems."

[will_you_still]

"Though, to be fair, I don't do it casually. I'd much prefer to not be a battering ram at all. Just, when you're up against an Endbringer..." She shrugs. "Something something anything to kill it."

[mxglam]

"Yeah. I mean, that's my whole- justification, here. If they break physics I might need to be a bit more notorious than I'd been expecting, though."

[will_you_still]

"... I think you might be undervaluing how much you could do as support to other capes."

[mxglam]

"Maybe so, but I'm pretty sure if any power has a shot at actually killing those monsters it's mine. Probably Scion's, too, but him we can't really talk to."

[will_you_still]

"What, you don't think mine has a shot at killing those monsters?" she wonders lightly.

[mxglam]

"It might, if you're as indestructible as you say, which, I'll need to see to believe, really. I mean, it's not unheard of, the Siberian's probably also on the list, but."
