how are you feeling?

[small_magics]

[It seems that perhaps we should speak,] Isibel says to Lycaelon. She wishes him a cup of tea, wherever he is, hovering in the air waiting for him to take it. [Though I confess I do not know where to begin.]

Comments

[nonbird]

"You could do that."

[small_magics]

"It is not clear, though, if you believe it would be a wise choice. Also, perhaps if I am going to visit them all I should also speak with the alts of the other four. Jane, if you please."

[mind_game]

[Hey Darcy! Turns out you have an alt in Thilanushinyel! Who's a dragon!]

[sailorheavymetal]

[...Seriously?]

[mind_game]

[Yup! Sarion conjured up some dragon eggs sixteen years ago to help with the population bottleneck, one of them turned out to be a you. She didn't do it on purpose. They're just all templates for some reason.]

[sailorheavymetal]

[Oookay. Well, that's... weird, but kind of cool, I guess. I've never even been to that world. I'm not sure I can pronounce that world. Am I supposed to meet-and-greet with the new me or something?]

[mind_game]

[You're supposed to help Sarion figure out how to tell the other you about, you know, things. If that's you showing up, I can tell her that, if that's sending a note on nice stationery, I can tell her that, what do you think?]

[sailorheavymetal]

[Dude, I have no idea.]

[mind_game]

[Okay. Well, maybe if someone else has an idea for their dragon alt Sarion can just include the Darcy-dragon in the meet-and-greet for them. Let me know if you think of something.]

[Hey Anna, hey Eights! Turns out you guys have an alt in Thilanushinyel who is a dragon!]

[lookingforwardtoit]

Both of them answer, almost simultaneously:

[Whoa, really?]

[mind_game]

[Yup!] Jane repeats the explanation about the dragon population bottleneck.

[lookingforwardtoit]

[That's fascinating,] says Eights.

[That's weird,] says Anna.

[mind_game]

[Anyway, Sarion is trying to figure out how to tell all these dragons about stuff and wanted to consult you about your one.]

[lookingforwardtoit]

[Not a clue, sorry,] says Anna.

[Yeah, no idea,] says Eights. [There isn't a general How To Tell People Things Guideline already?]

[mind_game]

[Well, she can presumably think up something generic if nobody has a better idea. Oh well.]

[Hey Tonies and Sherlocks! There are alts of you both on Thilanushinyel. They're dragons.] Insert explanation of dragon egg thing here.

[pythbox]

There is a brief explosion of inter-template conferencing.

When the dust settles, the conclusion is: the Tonies have no idea what to do about a new one of them without any obviously recognizable reference points, and the Sherlocks think that someone with dense information output like Sue or Elspeth should give their dragon alt a crash course.

[mind_game]

[Okay!]

[Nobody knows what to do except maybe send Sue or Elspeth to pour a lot of information into the Sherlock dragon,] Jane reports. [Maybe the Sherlock dragon will have an idea what to do with the other four.]

[small_magics]

[Is Elspeth available?]

[her_imperial_radiance]

She is!

And here she is.

"Should I just appear directly to the Sherlock dragon?" she inquires.

[small_magics]

"Let me see -"

Is said Sherlock dragon alone now?

[pythbox]

No. She is with the Tony dragon.

[small_magics]

Isibel gets Jane to ask the Tonies if they think their dragon alt would be alarmed by Elspeth appearing to talk to the Sherlocks' dragon alt.

[pythbox]

The Tonies come to a consensus of "Not if Sherlock wasn't."

The Sherlocks come to a consensus of "Try it and see."

[small_magics]

"Proceed."

[her_imperial_radiance]

Elspeth nods, and teleports, and gets started.

She's friendly (Isibel sent her) (there is such a lot to say, she's good at saying things) -
