On heading to distant skies. Mun is not sure about PB, voice testing

[bindsthedead]

Why? I- I am the Abhorsen, and Kerrigor may be bound, but his Dead and living are still loose. Even if I may return to the Kingdom and remain there, I will lose a fortnight waiting for my powers to return.

You told me I might find allies, and then told me that some of those who come may be Dead, or deal in Free Magic- the Old Kingdom has enough problems, without bringing more in from other worlds.

My mundane finds that the PB works well enough. Though she has never looked too hard. Something about having too clear a mental image and not being flexible enough.

And losing your powers, would that be a result from the game?

Although I want to ask- Can I steal your icons? They're amazing!

[bindsthedead]

Yes- for a little while. As my mundane has explained it, it will not last much longer than a week- but that time will still pass in the Old Kingdom, while I am gone.

Feel free! Just credit the original artist, yeah? (Also, gonna head to bed for the night)

[bybell]

That is unfortunate, though I feel that circumstances would keep for the length of time at least.

THANK YOU!

[bindsthedead]

You're right. I only hope this window does not bring something worse than Kerrigor loose. [Her mun's been telling her about some of the other worlds people come from. Sabriel is not happy.]

^^

[bybell]

The Charter will it so. - Knock on wood. - Of course, that being said, it still wouldn't be easy regardless of whether new trouble comes calling or not.

[bindsthedead]

[Sabriel nods at her doppelganger.]

There are still many servants of Kerrigor that walk free, Dead and necromancers among them. [And it's going to take a few years until most of them are gone.]

[bellbound]

[Have a yawning cat.] I suppose I shall sleep through it regardless.

[bindsthedead]

Mogget? [Sabriel's surprised to see him out of the house, but she scratches his ears absentmindedly, checking his collar.]

[bellbound]

[She has no need to worry; everything is in order, Ranna sounding drowsily as Mogget arches his head, enjoying the scratching.]

Always here.

/nervous

[bindsthedead]

Mogget, have windows to... other places ever opened in the Kingdom before?

[She doubts it, but she'll ask anyway. And oh, her reactions when meeting undead from other worlds are going to be... interesting.]

/pets don't be!

[bellbound]

[He pauses before replying, giving her a quizzical look.]

I assume not the kind with glass and pane?

[bindsthedead]

No, a different kind- windows that open to other worlds, if I have heard right, and one of them will open inside the grounds of the House.

[bellbound]

[Okay, she has his attention.]

Does this involve unpleasant things coming through? Things that are likely to interrupt dinner, or a nap?

[bindsthedead]

Possibly. My mundane has- I have heard that some who come through may be some manner of Dead. [And hopefully none of them will take Mogget's collar off.]

But it's too early to know right now.

[bellbound]

[Oh, wonderful. Mogget wrinkles his nose.]

In that case, you had better close it. Wake me up if there's an imminent threat.

[He shifts, stretching, and the bell on his collar rings again. It's only a matter of moments before it sends him off to sleep.]

[bindsthedead]

But how do I- [Oh, he's asleep again. Well, she'll have to figure this out on her own, then.]
