a profusion of whistles

"I didn't wind up interacting directly with Micaiah much," says Stella, after returning home from a certain visit. "Does he deviate from template significantly? He didn't have wings, so I imagine it was by less than Angela deviates from my template."

"Him too, please, and," Amariah shrugs, "we'll test it, shall we?"

[truthwright]

"It'll be an adventure!" chirps Petaal.

[self_composed]

"Minted," says Stella, pointing at Amariah, "and, minted." She points at Kas. "I wanna know what colors you get."

[dark_light]

Path bites Amariah's earlobe.

Amariah gets a square of glowy pine green.

[truthwright]

Kas bites his lip, and gets a triangle patterned like Petaal's iridescent orange-pink scales.

"...Weird," he says.

[dark_light]

"Really weird," says Amariah, peering at it. "It's not like what she is right now is fundamentally important."

"It looks like we don't make coins when they do," Path chirps, "but we do hurt when they do, so we might be more efficient if we were minted too, unless it doesn't count."

[self_composed]

"Testing," shrugs Stella. "It's not like I'm short on hexes." She mints both daemons.

[truthwright]

Petaal turns fennec fox and bites Kas's ear.

Kas produces a white square with a faintly furry pattern to its smooth surface, and Petaal generates a similar triangle.

[self_composed]

"Trippy," says Stella.

[dark_light]

"No kidding," Amariah agrees.

[truthwright]

"Soooo," says Petaal, "what's this I hear about an agony beam?"

[dark_light]

"Oh yeah, I should have one of those," says Amariah.

[self_composed]

Stella tosses her a hex.

[dark_light]

Amariah wishes on it.

"The settings on this thing," she says, "are so obviously designed for this extremely specific purpose. This is, what, fifteen different flavors of getting cut?"

[self_composed]

"Yeah, Alice felt they were important distinctions," shrugs Stella.

[truthwright]

"I think we should have sex right now," Petaal declares. "Stella, want in?"

[self_composed]

"No thank you. And I'm not sure I wanna stick around if the conversation's going to stall for the next however long, so, real quick -" She makes them each a bandolier, with some starter coins on Amariah's, and quickly private-brainphones the star secret to Amariah. "Kas, Petaal, don't use stars unless Amariah tells you what I just told her and which not even Alice knows, stars are evil, they'll eat you up and not in a good way," she adds aloud. "Maybe I'll come visit you guys later. I can force the door - Amariah, that's a star, it'll go anywhere you've been before, or at least I think that's how it works."

[dark_light]

"Oh!" exclaims Amariah. "I've been to Juliet's, I can mint Juliet!"

[self_composed]

"If it turns out to work every time instead of being Milliways-obstinate, then yeah," laughs Stella. "You guys have fun. I'll write this up and then I'm heading home."

[truthwright]

Petaal turns lion and headbutts Amariah gently toward a bedroom door.

[dark_light]

Amariah goes where ushered, giggling.

[self_composed]

Stella waves, and writes very fast, and leaves.

[truthwright]

"Let's make hexes," Petaal says cheerfully, shifting male-angel as soon as there is a closed door between her and Stella.

[dark_light]

"Okay," says Amariah. "Flavor choice?"

[truthwright]

"Something sharp," says Kas.
