I am probing myself. No, not that way. I am using the probe of my tricorder. No, not for that. Some people do have a dirty mind. In practical terms I am pressing it against my chest, while I hold the tricorder in my lower hands and operate it with my other upper hand. This takes concentration.

Supplement food intake with tapped astral energy to cause food of lower rank than you to have the effect of food of your rank.
To be frank, I am a bit underwhelmed. Should I rather look at the big question? What is an outworlder?
What is that commotion outside?
Natalija has woken up. Zora is beside herself out of joy.

RP: Anything more you want to include?
DT: No, that’s it.
Dean drops the crystal into the pouch and writes „To any official of the Adventure Society“ on it. Rupert puts a stone cylinder on the table and puts a small wafer of a blue substance into the bowl-shaped depression on top of it. In about four seconds the bowl is full of molten wax coloured blue. He seals the envelope with it and presses the seal on the end of the hilt of his dagger into it.
DT: I left out the part about us becoming filty rich from looting.
OL: Good idea. We owe them that.
RP: What are you going to do with that money?
DT: I’ll get my nephew essences.
OL: I’ll get all my slots filled, obviously. Beyond that? Well, we have a family to rebuild.

Stjepan looks like a mixture of exuberance and being lost.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
S: She is back. That is good. I missed her.
P: Yep. If you see her tail, do you also feel a need to pull on it?
S: We should not pull her tail.
We are semiofficially standing watch. The camp this morning is in chaos. We have two mothers, one of whom is now an orphan, in an exceptional state.
P: I think I will have to leave after breakfast to deliver the message.
S: I want to see that city. But not now, whe she is back.
P: Aren’t you scared about it?
S: It will be our new home, won’t it?
P: I don’t want to lie to you. I have no idea how we could return home. To our own world, I mean.
S: You won’t be gone for long anyway.
P: What do you mean by that?
S: Well, you cannot go for long, or everything you’ve conjured here will vanish, right?
P: Damnation. I have to admit I forgot about that.
----------------------------------------
OL: At least one of us has to go to Greenstone, even if they have wings. They don’t speak the language.
DT: I hope they are wise enough to see that.
RP: They are not stupid. But we can make another recording.
OL: The reasons I should go have only grown.
DT: True.
Rupert is getting a crystal ready.

PN: We need to get this organized. Has he told you how long the equipment will last without him.
KN: He was vague. A day or two, it seems.
PN: I tried taking one of the chairs into my storage space. It dissolved.
KN: That simplifies packing at least.
PN: Yes. This equipment is too adapted to the local environment anyway.
KN: Can you live with somebody else pick camp sites, darling?
PN: One of the features of a successful emergency manager is to trust his people.
KN: He is not yours. In fact what is his relationship to these ladies?
PN: You are asking me?
KN: Right
PN: Anyway, I think it makes sense to not use both cars. We can send out a scout team, which will have to include our teleporter. Then at each evening he can set up the camp and do a mass teleportation.
KN: You do not want to go with him?
PN: Our son is here
----------------------------------------
We are having breakfast.
L: How are your new powers coming up?
PN: The storage space is really cool.
P: That reminds me, I need to drop some of our supplies for you. We need to spread the risk.
Pavol is nodding in slight admiration.
P: I planned to quickly advance with Lidija today and then get you all by teleportation. I admit I had thought to go with her all the way to Greenstone, but Stjepan reminded me that this means that the camp will dissolve. So I think we need to move all together.
KN: Funny, we discussed the very issue this morning.
Our visitors are showing up a little late with the projector.
L: Very well, so you, I and Olutha will take your car.
----------------------------------------
I have turned my car into a semi open top configuration with a bridge which Dalek#4-UH is mounted. A bit top heavy, but I think the lift effect can deal with it.
I am going on a road trip with a demon and an elf. My life has turned into a cartoon.
