The Synodiporia Psychic Network

...a choir of Cantors - that is, what the Conductors became, the ones in blue - form a temporary psychic network with anyone singing along, and can pass on Bolsters.

This extends to one bond group per Cantor. Not person, bond group.

It's a. It's a Bond. It adds us to the Bond Group, for as long as we're singing together.

I know this because Casper, Jules, Pez and Ace got the benefits when we fought together, and they didn't go blue afterwards.



As far as Leah, Pez and Ace know, Temporary Bonds or Bonds that you can choose to join are unprecedented in the history of Questing Country.

Conducting can't be healed, but the damage it causes - impulsiveness and the compulsion to meme - can, while still making us utterly dauntless and incapable of being paralyzed by shame, fear, or doubt. Partitioning your thought processes in combination with advanced psychic shielding allows you to stay in contact with the Conductor Network safely. This will probably also help the people working on decoding the fractal do it safely, but I can't absolutely guarantee that.

Sensory Conditioning helps with the compulsion to meme, as well. It's one reason that Paraiba hasn't turned yet. Protecting the Conditioned Diaphoron is now a priority; defer to Paraiba on how.

Speaking of, IOU one deinfiltration, Gil. Just show me how it's done, and who you want restored.

Yes, this is Deedee; yes, I'm a Conductor, still, and when I'm in the driver's seat I'm the Conductor of Heart; yes, Leah has heard all of this from her end; no, there is no risk of infection from talking to me, or her. Not any more.

Also: is it just me, or does Questing Country have a definite resemblance to Skaia?

So Cassandra has apparently been getting Magical Mystery Tour beamed into her head as a hint when she did spooky things to the bus. It's a Beatles song, oldies to my parents, psychedelic hippie shit from the 60's.

There's one song in particular on it, 'I Am The Walrus,' that caught my eye BECAUSE we're heading for a space opera. The opening line is:

'I am he as you are he and you are me and we are all together...'

So hey, quick question about QC and known space! Do we know about any hive minded aliens from that 'verse? Cause if not, we might have ourselves an old fashioned bug hunt when we arrive. Or, knowing the Arcana, preventing one!

ETA:

Someone way smarter than me with the Oracle powers that clued us into the Katadors being sweet guys, really just used those powers to ask what we were probably up against.

Roughly:
3 in 10 chance it's the Starmovers trying to make a new Role.
2 in 10 chance it's the Arcana.
3 in 20 it's the Hecatites doing something hinky, same as my guess that there's a new species in town or that something like the Skittles is trying to make a new Role.
1 in 10 it's "who the hell knows," a new role arising naturally, or Backstage breaking from that time ROSE decided fracking a dreamscape for magic was a good idea.
1 in 40 chance it's one of the old powers getting Borgy with it.

The chances are about 1 in 10 to 1 in 5 that the Hecatites are taking advantage of whatever it is that's going on, depending on what tiger they're trying to ride.

Also, it's not fucking Cthulhu you piece of shit Travellers, so we can rest easy on that score.

All things must fall! Your trick worked, Anafiel. I’m with Katador Husna Phanouel. And will have WORDS with Penny.

...She’s sleeping and I can’t talk long, sorry, hi this is Deedee. This is... if any Spire was going to be accepting, it would be Wrath. They breathe kything. They had Husna... never mind that. But they’re good people.

Sorry, Joscelin: she’s really unhappy with your “friend” Ios. Nasty breakup among other things. He might want to stay away, or else talk really fast.

But on the other half of that coin...

Is there a Kleio riding with us, or just in the group from Fallenheart? Husna misses her. Husna has so much she wanted to say to her. Please make it happen if you can.
