[And psychic protection is go for good measure.]

I'm sure the lot of you heard Raidou's warning that the Illuminants have found a way to tether themselves to Liminal Space.

For those of you fortunate enough to not know what that means, the Illuminants are powerful magical parasites that we first encountered in a place called Dolorosa several years ago. They have a nasty habit of possessing some poor magically gifted bastard and sucking them dry, while wreaking absolute fucking havoc on the magical balance of the land around them. In Dolorosa, they spawned a plague of curses and a plague of dragons. In Misericordia, it was just the dragons that we witnessed, though gods alone know what other hell they unleashed afterward.

They managed to break into Liminal Space the second time we were in the world that served as their playground, but our hosts weren't inclined to share, and before now they've not shown a knack for leaping between worlds under their own power - visions of dubious provenance notwithstanding. If they've figured out how to ride the Trumps' coattails - or manage to take over Liminal Space - that's bad fucking news for the next world we encounter, to say nothing of our own homes.

Which brings me to the point of this little attempt to reach out. I think that if we can yank them all the way through into Liminal Space, we can temporarily cut them off from the majority of their power, and kill them both here and in their own world before they can find some other place to play the parasite.

If you're willing to help with the summoning, or to travel by Bridge to break their places of power while we've got them in a trap, then tell me what you have to offer. If you're not, then stay well clear - we don't need any unexpected nooks and crannies for them to ooze into.

Dude, you don't need to be a bitch about this.

[Mental sigh.]

Whatever. Just send one of the others to me.

[Gee, even when you apologize you insult her.]

... I've said before that's not why I did it, but whatever.

Yeah, no, after what those Skittle Assholes did to my people, I want them to go the fuck down.

Just-- send me Alcuin or someone. We can play telephone so you don't have to lower yourself to talk to me.

You didn't see him these last few days. I'm pretty sure you'd have to literally restrain him to keep from taking the Skittles down.

And I said or someone. Jesus Christ, Sabetha, I know you hate me now and I even get why you do, but you really don't have to take every fucking thing I say in the worst way possible.
thornsofmalkav: (wtf)

I said 'Alcuin' because I knew he was going, even if he hadn't told you yet. Because he's the closest thing I have to a goddamn husband. I know you think I'm an idiot, a child, and a fucking cultist, but trust me to know the mind of the man I'm all but married to.

[...]

And you know what? I really don't fucking appreciate you acting like I need to be watched for betrayal or trickery or scheming or whatever when we're trying to take down the fuckers who violated my consort. Do you know who had to put Alcuin back together after Yellow fucked him up? I did.

I'm helping out because this is fucking important and frankly? You guys need me. There's not a lot of us who can take people to past Jaunt worlds yet and you're going to be stuck doing summoning shit. You know who else can ferry people? Allura. Hate us all you want, shit on us all you want, but you're going to have to fucking work with us, Sabetha.

Sabetha. Enough, please. I was otherwise occupied in exploration, but she is correct - I will be coming.

Yeah. See. If I have to have a minder, I want it to be him.

That was uncalled for, you know. I'd thank you to not stoop so low as to insult the people you need to have on your team.

In the middle of a mission is no time for this. Fight it out later. Work on this now.
