Who: you. Right there.
When: Day 24, Noon-ish
Where: the happy funtimes express

[Right, so. Yesterday was a Lot for several of us! There was a trial, some of us have more tokens to use, we’re all hurtling towards a possibly inescapable doom, it’s great.

But instead of focusing on that! Today in the lounge, one can Lucien and Naeva with a basket full of paper flower charms, made so you can hang them on your wrist or in your hair. The flowers are...well, Naeva’s doing her best to make them, and she bought a great deal of pretty origami paper for this.

Of course, when you take one, there’s affirmations attached to them. And the large princely Licorice may give you one directly. Such are the wonders of life on the Fun Train.

You may also just choose to mingle about the train, whatever, live freely.]

I will.

And then I still have to figure out how to make it work.

Yeah, that's been the one part I've been wondering about too, actually...

[ How... do you form a contract... ]

[It'll be new and exciting because he sure can't make Crow do five dungeons and a combat trial.]

I think I'll probably have to muddle along while winging it...

Probably it shouldn't be dangerous for you though.

[ It's too bad, Crow would enjoy doing all that. ]

I'm sure we'll work it out.

[ There's an easy confidence there, but it's more like he's willing to keep experimenting until it fucking works. ]

One way or another, hopefully.

If it comes down to it, we can probably find ways to look into it.

[ 80H knows about magic, she'd probably have a few ideas. ]

Yeah. I have some ideas but... if they don't work out we'll go from there.

I'm kinda curious about those ideas... but it can wait until you've had those talks.

It'll probably just be easiest to do it when I'm ready. I don't know how to articulate what goes into a contract, I've never had to do them so deliberately.

Yeah, that makes sense. You said it usually happens at the end of a trial, right?

Yeah. The trial isn't strictly real but... it's real enough.

[ He nods as if that makes sense, which for some reason it... kind of does? ]

Real enough to count and that's the important part.

Right. But, well that's moot here.

Yeah.

[ Hmm. ]

I wonder how often those trials even happen...

[ How many times has Rean been contracted, a curious question that he knows Rean doesn't remember the answer to. ]

I don't know... not that often but... more than people think, perhaps?

[ He nods. ]

I bet they don't write about immortal powers in the history books.

Yeah, not really.

It's not a surprise. But it must make things pretty boring in your downtime... unless you just sleep the whole time.

Yeah, I'm pretty much... offline I guess? I require a lot of power to function optimally. Even now my memories won't restore until more of my power restores.

That makes sense.

I'm glad. I was worried it sounded weird.

"Weird" is kind of relative when we're on a train to save the universe.

Haha that's fair.

But it really does make sense.... if you need more power to remember, obviously you can't while you're running on empty.

Mm. Yeah.

[It's honestly frustrating how powerless he is right now but that's also because he's refusing to take anything from anyone so he won't complain about it.]
