[evocationary]

Yeesh, if there is one thing I miss about the staff gig, it's being able to teleport places. [she says, as she steps through the portal.]

[guestservices]

I must admit, it's been incredibly convenient!

[anyway, here they are! vulpecula heads straight for the nonfiction section.]

[evocationary]

[follows after them casually]

I also miss my infinity sleeves.

[guestservices]

[ ? ]

I suppose there's not much that can be done about that right now, since you're all... ah, "nerfed," but surely you can make infinity sleeves once you're out of here, can't you?

[magic...]

[evocationary]

I - huh. [blinks.] Fuck. I guess I could do that, huh.

[guestservices]

[...they giggle, a little.]

A project for once you get out of here?

[evocationary]

Yeah. I bet it'd be pretty easy, actually, just uh - like, a bag of holding, but your sleeves.

[guestservices]

Sleeves of holding!

[they hum a little, then reach up and pluck a how-to book on origami from the shelf.]

...aha. This should do nicely.

[evocationary]

Sleeve of holding... [she repeats, distantly.

oh, right. origami.] That should work, yeah. You ever done this before?

[guestservices]

[they look over at her, giving off concerned vibes at how distant that sounds when she repeats it - but then she continues on, so.

they open the book and flip through.]

Not exactly like this. These are some interesting shapes...

[frog]

[evocationary]

[don't be worried it was literally just her in her mind palace making a sleeve of holding]

Frog! [gasp!] Oooh, does it jump?

[guestservices]

[ME JUST SWEATING LIKE DID I TRIP OVER SOME TAZ LORE I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT???]

The instructions says it does! Let's make them, and then we can see whose can jump the furthest!

[evocationary]

[LSMDFKSDK no she literally was just like sherlock holmes mind palace.gif]

Yes. Good idea. Wow, way to make it into a competition. [she's amused.]

[guestservices]

It's more fun like this!

[evocationary]

It sure is.

[a beat.] Uh, what do we use for paper?

[guestservices]

...uh.

[they did not think of this.]

Give me a moment.

[they vanish through a portal





and return with paper they stole from the concierge]

[evocationary]

[claps when they come back]

Nice. Espionage.

[guestservices]

[offers her some papers with a flourish]

I'm the sneakiest person in this hotel!

[no]

[evocationary]

[takes the papers!!]

I believe it. Maybe you could give me lessons. I could use a couple levels in rogue.

[guestservices]

[they laugh]

I can try to! Admittedly, the portals are a big help.

[evocationary]

It is a little bit of an unfair advantage. [trying to fold this thing...]

[guestservices]

Yes, well... I'm going to use every advantage I have.

[folding, folding... they keep glancing back at the book's instructions for guidance, but they're pretty good with their hands, so it's coming along nicely.]

[evocationary]

[she's... decent? at this? like, this is probably a little too complicated for someone who has never done origami ever in her life, but she's making it. she goes quiet for a bit, really into folding the paper just the right way, tongue sticking out of the corner of her mouth a bit.]

[guestservices]

[LUP IS SO CUTE I'M CRYING




anyway, vulpecula also falls silent as they make their frog. fold fold fold fold...]

[evocationary]

[she does her best! eventually, she does... finish her frog, and then squints at it.]

... Neat. I think I did it?
