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.

"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."

[will_you_still]

Morgan nods.

".... Did she start moving to the spot to intercept me and Leviathan before or after the Leviathan attack?"

[acanofworms]

"During the attack, a while before the Leviathan disappeared."

[will_you_still]

"She hadn't seen me until I showed up - shit, we have to move."

[acanofworms]

"Doctor, I trust you can get a good enough telescope to see the Simurgh soon?"

"We started looking into it as soon as you told us about Morgan. There's a tinker that owes us a favor currently working in Alaska, but you'll need to fly there."

"Of course."

[will_you_still]

"Is it ready now?"

Why did she spend so much time on the relief effort if she can kill the bastards causing the mayhem that's it the slaughter stops-

[peterxy]

"Yes," says the Doctor. "Door."

A portal appears back to where they came from.

[acanofworms]

Alexandria speaks into her earpiece, requesting transportation.

[will_you_still]

"I can fly us there, if it'd be faster. Might need directing, though, so."
