I can't fix you, but maybe I can still help

He's trying to kill us--could ruin him--worry about that later--grab your sister and go.

It gets that far! For all they know her magic lets her go without sleep indefinitely as long as she has tea.

[powerispain]

Alas, no. She can survive an all-nighter but she does call a stop after the session in which she notices the sun rising.

[alicornucopia]

Okay. Would she like a hotel room? On the house.

[powerispain]

...Maybe later. She would like to at least find out where her sister is sooner rather than later, actually.

[alicornucopia]

They can do that too! They will decrement their IOU and have someone cast her the scries. They try the intraworld one first.

There she is!

[powerispain]

"Where's that?" It looks like some kind of desert...

[alicornucopia]

The scry's zoomed in enough to make out Illia, so it's hard to say. Deserts are mostly an Espaal thing? So maybe Espaal somewhere? It would be easier to tell if she were near civilization.

[powerispain]

"...Either way, she's in a desert. And--she hasn't gotten to sleep at all, has she--I should have paid more attention to the time--can you get her here now?"

[alicornucopia]

It'll take about an angle to draw up the diagram but the wizard will get right on that.

[powerispain]

She really should have done this sooner.

[alicornucopia]

The wizard soon has a diagram drawn up and calls Illia to the middle of a circle on the floor of his office.
