One thing after another

Not to add more shit to the current fire, but I've had a look Backstage, and it's not just the Conductors and the Hecatite indoctrination that are acting like a plague on Questing Country. The Diabolin dreamers, the Starmovers, the Synthetic dreamers - they're all twisting the patterns of this place out of true. There's a pack of unbound Spirit Companions working to quarantine the invasive patterns and bring them into harmony without letting them overwrite everything else, but if the fucking mountain falling in is any indication, it's not going well.

Their method's near enough to Siren Song that I could compose something that would let a chorus help them align the warped lattices, or return them to their original state - which might be our best bet for cleansing any lingering Orthopraxic brain-fucking - but anything that needs to be shut down will have to be shut down on the outside.

...With one possible exception. Deedee, and anyone else who's latched on to a Conductor who actually belongs here, I badly need to speak to the people you're riding.

And on an entirely related note, I'll need a few strong backs willing to work where they're pointed - there's a foothill's worth of rubble I need cleared, and if we're going to put enough of this to rights that Questing Country won't shatter under the weight, I expect we'll need a door other people can use.

I have been. If nothing else, I won't be forced to stay where I'm left when this is over.

I know of some who want to return to their homeworlds. I would too, if I weren't dead there already. But traveling to new places is a very difficult temptation to resist for me, so I expect even then I wouldn't have stayed forever.

No, it wouldn't come easily. There are many things I would hold more valuable than my own comfort or ease, but I know that's not true for many here.

Nor is it completely true for me, anymore. I found out what will make me selfish.

Remembered after Moebius stripped it of me is the most accurate for my more recent discovery.

Admitted is probably more accurate for the first, but not entirely. [He gives a mental shrug.] I remember being very surprised at the time. And also furious with the Travelers for botching what should have been a fairly straightforward case of espionage. So a bit of both.

To their credit, there are a few who've at least attempted to learn new skills here to make up for that lack. But still a distressingly low number.

Regaining my memories has helped me heal from some of the wounds that would not heal before. So yes, it is something I'm pleased with.

Unfortunately.

[That's said with resigned agreement.] But I'll take poor attempts over flagrant spite any day.
