do: make introductions; don't: usurp the government

Tab goes home by door, right into Aelise's office. "Hello again."

"D'you want a copy of the factsheet everybody got when I woke them?"

[areyouabeer]

"Sure."

[giftedandtalented]

Poof.

[areyouabeer]

That sure is a factsheet. He skims it idly.

[giftedandtalented]

"The thing about torching doesn't apply to you, but I can make it do if you like," says Tab casually. "Or Aelise can."

[areyouabeer]

"Any horrifying drawbacks I don't know about?"

[giftedandtalented]

"If you are stuck somewhere that will not stop trying to kill you, it gets a lot of tries."

[areyouabeer]

"That's not much of a change. Sure, hit me."

[giftedandtalented]

Tab flicks her fingers illustratively in his general direction. "You're all set."

[areyouabeer]

"That was easy."

[giftedandtalented]

"Yep. Very simple procedure. All you have to do is go to the underworld and receive it as a gift from she who commands the fundament of reality. Piece of cake."

[areyouabeer]

[giftedandtalented]

Tab laughs.

[areyouabeer]

Luhan snorts.

[giftedandtalented]

"No, I mean I did literally have to do that but it's pretty straightforward, I didn't have to beat her at chess first or anything."

[areyouabeer]

"And she gave you Toronto as a bonus?"

[giftedandtalented]

"Yep. And will supply any other departed people or things I want as long as I have my trusty way of moving them out of there."

[areyouabeer]

"Nice of her."

[giftedandtalented]

"Well, most of them she wouldn't have to call up special like Toronto, most of them Jane can get for me without the admin's intervention. And in return she does not have to actually run the afterlife on a day-to-day basis, which apparently she didn't love doing."

[areyouabeer]

[giftedandtalented]

"You keep looking at me like that."

[areyouabeer]

"Yep."

[giftedandtalented]

"Why?"

[areyouabeer]

"You keep saying things like that."

[giftedandtalented]

"Like that how?" laughs Tab.
