Locked to Travelers excepting Maria; Backdated to Day 2 of the maze liminal

[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.

There's knowing how to kill someone, and knowing who someone is. The former is easy, but the latter...well, it's much more interesting.

Indeed.

Speaking of which, we should likely divide up the targets. I've noticed in other conversations the sensible recommendation of avoiding Illuminants that line up with our own emotional sympathies, and I should warn you that I am extremely Yellow in temperament. Orange and Violet would also be a rather poor idea, I think.

If there's an opening for engaging Green, though, I think I need to teach her some manners. Is she still riding Maria's overlay, as far as we know?

It won't be a problem either way. It'd be nice poetry if I got to deal with something wearing her face, though, after she did the same for the dragon wearing mine all the way back then.

Good Lord, that was my first Jaunt, wasn't it? Time flies when you're in a timeless expanse.
