Author Notes:
"I don't see the harm in that," Helen replies. She takes out a bulky looking flip phone with large, very visible buttons. It takes her a few moments to look up her phone number to give to you.
You nod to Caius, who calls Helen with his alien phone. He lets it ring once before cutting it off. "My phone's, uh, kinda in my brain," he says. "So... there ain't gonna be a number there to dial, but tha call back thing oughta work."
"Oh!," remarks Helen. "I see. How unusual."
You ask if there's anything she'd like to know about you and your group.
"Some other day, perhaps," she replies with a faint smile. "Curious as I am, I think knowing too much about you could be... dangerous, at the moment. For both of us. Once all the ongoing hubbub is over with and the stars have settled down, though, I think there's a lot we could talk about."
You shop around for a little while. The store's selection of books is... limited, mostly by virtue of all being pre-owned books people no longer wanted. You don't find much of interest--mostly old crime and romance novels, choose your own adventure books, and niche cookbooks. You do find some children's books, though, which you end up buying for the ghost girls.
Check if there are any from Jackson & Livingstone's acclaimed "Fighting Fantasy"-series! ^_^
Or maybe even Morgenstern's "Nast the Enchanter". ;)
That, or find someone be trusts to take up the baton.
ide also like to Blood Moms Red
(portal into Mines House and Portal back out. can even levitate the blanket to its kind of like a wall so Mine can just step through without any real problems)
then perform a normal Sync to try and learn Blood Speak. (not HOW to but rather the Language itself)
then preform various forced syncs on those willing to volunteer with moms Red being the "final boss" x:
Michelle first though, would love to see how things have changed, also remind Mine that she Blooded a vending machine there so she knows her blood powers work in at least a Mind-scape, with that hopefully leading to being able to use blood in astral form aswell.
as an aside, i wonder if Moms Red would be more aware of the information transfer then humans would be?
1. Become the blood, then try to sync with Mine as if she's someone else. Maybe we can get the benefits of dissociation while maintaining our humanity.
2. Sync with Finch, then monitor Fuse's brain while he uses his powers.
3. See what Fuse's Combat form is (as in the ritual).
That sounds like the best idea.
although, you might get a cookbook for your brain. (cite: Caius' phone)
Now I'm somewhat curious to trading up the crime and romance novels :)
