Daffodil, Thistle, and Lily. Yes. But it only works once. Either or.

DAMN OK ONE THING AT A TIME ]

So . . . Tart wants to use Daffodil's to prevent your killing blow. No word on what Thistle or Lily plan to do?

Well -- Lily might not've had time to think on it.

Tart wants to use ours to regress me by ten minutes. That would effectively undo my death. However, given that I was pulled here from after it occurred, theoretically, once I return . . .

[ like no matter how you look at it, it's good. ]

The logic is sound. I've thought about it a lot since he presented it to me.

And your argument is to save the magic plot device rock just in case it ends up being useful later?

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[afineknight]

Correct.

And yes, I have heard so many arguments already. My stance right now is I want to hear what Daffodil thinks. However they want to use it, I will go along with it.

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[featherduster]

Well --

They're gonna pick you, obviously.

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[afineknight]

I need to hear it from them.

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[featherduster]

Fair enough. I'd feel the same.

But once they've confirmed I'm right, you're not gonna fight them on it, are you?

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[afineknight]

It is their decision. I will not fight them on it.

. . . I do want this, you know.

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[featherduster]

. . . Good. I'd beat your ass.

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[afineknight]

I may think I do not deserve it in the slightest, but I still want it.

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[featherduster]

Humor that thought for a second, even if it's stupid.

Even if you don't deserve it, the people who love you might.

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[afineknight]

. . . I know.

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[featherduster]

Good.

[ GET LOVED, IDIOT!!!!!! ]

And for the record, even if I weren't biased, I don't think it's a bad idea.

One, it confirms whether this will work.

Two, we know for a fact which Demon has this power, and can probably leverage it again.

And three, both Lily and Thistle have one too, and knowing them, at least one of 'em will hold onto it for something important down the road.

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[afineknight]

There is strategic value in us using it now, yes. And four, if it works, that gives the rest of the pasture some sort of hope.

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[featherduster]

Exactly.

This may in fact be the solution we've been searching for.

Re: mass cubecall @ crois' cr

[afineknight]

Ha.

Feels like it should be happening to someone else.

Too bad. The rest of the committee's decided.
