Conversation Space II.

As Thorne shared with the network, Travelers who vanish find themselves alone in a small room. But it doesn’t look quite as described last time. Paper lanterns hang in the corners, and a lemniscate of live, spicily scented blue roses traces a figure eight on the floor. A little marble plinth sits beside the looping roses, with a champagne flute balanced on it, pink, fizzy liquid quietly effervescing within. In place of the throne that was there before, each half of the loop holds a brown leather sphere - a yoga meditation-ball chair. They’re a little tricky to balance on.


The walls, floors, and ceiling are tiled, a prismatic fade from one color to another, each tile unique, just slightly different in hue than those around it, each colored line giving a sense that it belongs to a bigger pattern, but never revealing enough to allow anyone certainty about what that pattern might be. It is only a glimpse of a larger world… in this small, quiet space.

A proxy. Huh. Kanji nods some more. "I've got a bit'f an idea. Dunno if it's gonna work, but..."
But he did take something else away from his time in Kiran's mind than a mark on his arm. It's worth suggesting, at least? Worth trying? If the problem is power levels and ability rather than willingness to talk...

"Will be interesting to see," Cairbre says.

"Well... you're probably gonna be able to tell when I've done it, huh," he says. Not spying on them all the time, sure, but he figures he can assume that much.

"Will check by regularly if all right with you," Cairbre offers. "Cannot keep to schedule. Time is not my idiom. But... hm. Could look in Aiya main room?"

Kanji laughs a little. "Yeah, that works. I'll leave somethin' out for ya there." A pause. "You ain't ... y'know, lookin' in the rest of the place, right? You said that stuff earlier..."

"Sometimes," Cairbre says with a shrug. "When invoked, when actions are taken under my idiom. When things come to my attention. Don't usually watch just to watch. Lovers, not I. Am a doer, not a watcher."

"Just when stuff's ...getting moving, huh." Kanji nods at that. It's somewhat reassuring. Somewhat. "Guess you've been watching my races wi- ...wait, what about Lovers?"

"Watches to watch. Especially enjoys the kissing. It is her idiom."

"Tch." Kanji gives a bit of a scowl. Perhaps he's glad Yukiko's out of this again... "Yeah. Glad you ain't doin' that."

"Recreation reproduction not really in mine."

After another bounce, it reconsiders this:

"... not unless done in vehicles."

...Kanji almost falls off the ball seat. What.

"...right."

"Vehicles are very much my idiom," Cairbre explains. "Things that take place in vehicles call to me. Even so, am not Arcana that engages in recreational reproduction. Not in my idiom."

"Good. Y-yeah. That's what I thought you meant," Kanji says with a slight, awkward laugh as he recovers.

"Any other questions?" Cairbre asks, bouncing steadily on the ball.
