Did you know the Traveller summoning trick can be done backwards? Because it turns out the Travellers summoning trick can be done backwards. I bet you'll never guess who can do the summoning trick backwards.

[It's someone who didn't want a bath]

Does anyone know if there's a way to... hold yourself to a particular place?

I mean, me and Malik were speculating that it was theoretically possible before the Jaunt. But this is the first time that I've heard of anyone actually doing the thing.

Rosie learned something new again, huh?

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-24 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
Well it's confirmed now. She didn't want a bath.
thornsofmalkav: (Default)

[personal profile] thornsofmalkav 2018-12-24 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
... of course she didn't.

Parents of toddlers who don't have superpowers don't realize how much easier they have it.

[The baby still needs a bath]

Can you summon her back to you? She probably has a cooldown on it, just like any other skill.

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-24 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Going to try it once I get back to our room. Easier than having to get her back there.

[The bath is still happening]
seestheworld: (Crescent Boomerang)

[personal profile] seestheworld 2018-12-24 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you okay?

[At least Liminal's just cold and irritating rather than actively dangerous this time out, but... still.]
dino_zarf: (Default)

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-24 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine, she just took me by surprise.
seestheworld: (Mercury Aqua Blizzard)

[personal profile] seestheworld 2018-12-24 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll bet. That's quite a skill.

[And now it has her wondering if it can be deployed across a Jaunt-walkabout divide... although bringing that up over the network while Rosie may be listening may not be the best plan.]

As for the other, isn't there a skill that lets you tether two objects? Maybe that would work on a person, too...

There's one that lets you tether someone... and then one to tether them to a place.

[Liminal baby leash, basically]

Never thought of trying to apply it to myself.
seestheworld: (Moon Healing Escalation)

[personal profile] seestheworld 2018-12-26 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think the second one was what I was thinking of. It's not one I've picked up yet, but maybe some experimenting is in order...

[Which doesn't really help him right this moment, and he can probably do those experiments just as easily on his own if not more so, but.]

How far away did she send you?
dino_zarf: (Default)

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-27 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Just outside the ship, best I know. She doesn't have that much range... yet.

[Give her time]
seestheworld: (Mercury Aqua Blizzard)

[personal profile] seestheworld 2018-12-27 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
That's something, at least.
dino_zarf: (Default)

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-27 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
I need to figure something out before that changes.

I don't think she'd try that far to get out of a bath, but I can't be sure.
seestheworld: (Venus Power Crescent Shower of Love)

[personal profile] seestheworld 2018-12-27 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, kids don't really have the greatest impulse control.

[Or any, if they're very small.]
dino_zarf: (Default)

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-27 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure toddlers have any.

Probably why they don't usually have superpowers.
seestheworld: (Mercury Aqua Blizzard)

[personal profile] seestheworld 2018-12-27 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably, yeah.

[Poor Wash. And probably poor Riddick, soon enough.]
dino_zarf: (Default)

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-28 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Probably wouldn't be so bad for parents who grew up in the same frame of mind.

[The species must survive]
seestheworld: (Venus Ten Billion Volt Rock 'N' Rouge)

[personal profile] seestheworld 2018-12-30 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
True.

[Unfortunately...]
dino_zarf: (Default)

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-30 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
As it is... more playing catchup.

[And never understanding liminal space on her level]
seestheworld: (Venus Power Crescent Shower of Love)

[personal profile] seestheworld 2018-12-31 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sounds like it.

[Poor Wash.]
dino_zarf: (Default)

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-31 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Worth it though.

[That's what it comes back to in the end]

I just worry about her getting herself into danger like this.
seestheworld: (Moon Healing Escalation)

[personal profile] seestheworld 2019-01-16 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get that.

[Minako would be worried too. Is worried, a bit.]
itsananimalthing: (surprise)

[personal profile] itsananimalthing 2018-12-24 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Shit. That's gonna have to be a new one we work out, ain't it. Resisting a... what're we gonna call it? Traveler banishment?
dino_zarf: (Default)

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-24 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Not quite sure what the counter for this one is seeing as it's the first I've heard of it being possible.
itsananimalthing: (thinking)

[personal profile] itsananimalthing 2018-12-26 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
There's a thing I can do where I can kind of do a tug-of-war with somebody with a skill, and cheat to come out on top. Maybe I can teach you that one sometime.
dino_zarf: (Default)

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-26 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
I am not above cheating when it comes to keeping Rose safe.
itsananimalthing: (smilesmall)

[personal profile] itsananimalthing 2018-12-26 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll walk you through it. It's half mindset, anyway.

[Which means he's not sure how well Wash will take to it, honestly. The guy is not really one for insisting on dominance and respect.]
dino_zarf: (Default)

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-27 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Mindset?

[Then again, what isn't with reality subject to whims?]
itsananimalthing: (browsraised)

[personal profile] itsananimalthing 2018-12-27 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's about beating another person's skill. So you kinda gotta be confident you can. You're a great guy, but smacking somebody else down ain't exactly your usual M.O.
dino_zarf: (Default)

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2018-12-28 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I managed to take a hard line on what could and couldn't go in her mouth.

[Not the most compelling case ever here]
itsananimalthing: (smilenice)

[personal profile] itsananimalthing 2018-12-28 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Not overwhelming me with your evidence, here, brother.
dino_zarf: (Default)

[personal profile] dino_zarf 2019-01-01 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
I mean. We're talking about a standoff with a toddler.

[A toddler who hurled you through space to avoid a bath, Wash.]
itsananimalthing: (point)

[personal profile] itsananimalthing 2019-01-03 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
A toddler who is more at home in this space than any of us'll ever be. If you wanna win out against her, you gotta be willin' to fight a little for it.
