Blasphemous, roughly. Forcing people to become Orthoprax is about as far from the spirit of Orthopraxy as you can get; I believe the most polite term in Hecatite is saying they have crown-shaped inclusions up their pavilions.

...If there's a Traveller in me. Is there any way I could speak to her?

Um. I'm pretty sure I know who it would be, just based on a few factors.

One of the others could probably pull her mind to the surface - it wouldn't destroy your mind, to be clear off the bat. It'd be more like roommates? It happened to me once and I freaked out hard, but I also had a... uh. Physical issue.

... I freaked out over having two full legs again because I was still in the mindspace of 'everyone will hate me/think I'm a disfigured thing to be pitied' in regards to my leg. So my situation is not to be taken as the normal course of events.

I can ask, though. I think... you two probably have a lot in common. I think that's why we end up in certain people. It's either that or we have very little in common, like Ace having a happy childhood.

[Can you feel~ the salt tonight~?.]

I've met Alexandrite and Claudia. I know they swap between Knight and Oracle - uh, video game reference, maybe virulent, don't repeat it.

...virulent. Right. I'd risk infecting your network by talking to her, and her being on your Network.

Best not to until we can put in some insulation.

If you want I might be able to figure it out, given some time. If she can pull together some psychic protection like I said I'd show you guys, it might work.
lightnovelexperiences: (Default)

She does have psi protect 1, and I can just cash in a bjillion posts...

...I want the Travellers to discuss it before I do anything stupid. The risk I'm willing to take is calculated, but man, am I bad at math.
helborn: (you're kind of cute)

He has absolutely picked this meme up from Thorne or Gil

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-15 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
And I'm way too gay for math.
lightnovelexperiences: (Default)

I absolutely have enough skill slots to handwave this and put in for these skills.

[personal profile] lightnovelexperiences 2020-09-16 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
If I Condition myself beforehand that will help mitigate the risks.
helborn: (nope too cute to function)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-16 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Of the math?



... I'm kidding. Let me know when you want me to do something.
helborn: (i'm not an anime protag i swear)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-16 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Okay I spoke to someone who knows this stuff better than me, and she said that it's possible for you to do it if she helps you out with some precautions. When you get back to Questing Country either ask for Madoka or I'll point her out to you.
lightnovelexperiences: (angry)

[personal profile] lightnovelexperiences 2020-09-16 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Will do.


It's possible that she's compromised by teaching me this.
helborn: (nope too cute to function)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-16 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
If there's anyone I think is probably not going to get compromised by this stuff, it's her. She knows all sorts of mental protection things. She's one of the reasons that those of us who stared into the abyss too long only got out of there with nightmares instead of shattered minds.
thornsofmalkav: (surprised)

[personal profile] thornsofmalkav 2020-09-15 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Do you know if there is one in me?

[What, she's curious.]
helborn: (you're kind of cute)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-15 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
... Probably. Like 99% probably, just given personality.

You can ask Rubellite to how many decimal points.
helborn: (nope too cute to function)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-15 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Can't count that high.

[personal profile] thornsofmalkav 2020-09-15 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
What about Titan or Pez?
helborn: (i'm not an anime protag i swear)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-15 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Titan I... think so? Probably? Your passenger and his likely one usually end up near each other. Pez I... don't know.

We can only wake up one person each per world we go to - it's a very powerful ability, so there's only so many times we can use it before it needs to recharge. At least that's the only way I can think of to explain it.

[Dryly,] It is a good thing I am of Relics, or I would not know what you mean.
helborn: (huh wha i didn't do it)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-16 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
What do you mean? Was I confusing? Sorry if I was...

[personal profile] thornsofmalkav 2020-09-16 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
Elves don't use electricity. But the diabolin do and when I am not working in the waking world, I explore their ruins.
helborn: (i'm not an anime protag i swear)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-16 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Recharge was what... ah, sorry. That didn't occur to me.
thornsofmalkav: (Default)

[personal profile] thornsofmalkav 2020-09-16 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fine. I know that many of the other dreaming peoples have technology we do not. And given that there were elves among the stars... but that is because the diabolin took us, you see?
helborn: (even while distressed i have pretty hair)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-16 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry. That's kind of sad...
thornsofmalkav: (Default)

[personal profile] thornsofmalkav 2020-09-17 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
It is. But it is hundreds of years in the past and nothing I can change.
