Temporal pixies

[Anastasia]

That's worth a Diplo check.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 136.

[Anastasia]

Nothing happens, but the flow of words stops. It is now silent.

[Nephrite]

Can you hear me?

He decides to wait a moment, assuming no reply, he will do what he did before and try and evoke a feeling of curiosity - a feeling of searching, asking for a location.

[Anastasia]

"No, hold on," Sylvie says, murmuring a few arcane words. "No, you're going about it wrong. It's not something that has a material form, Moore. I'm learning about it, I think it's closer to being a spirit of some kind. A spirit of information, maybe."

[Nephrite]

"Hm, all right." He nods. "In that case, is it something we can actively communicate with, or is it more like... a process, rather than a being?"

[Anastasia]

"It's semi intelligent at best, more like a dog," Sylvie says, "I think it's harmless to use, and perhaps even useful if someone wants to listen long enough."

[Nephrite]

"Surely it has some sort of physical form, though, right?" He asks. "Or at least some kind of... essence? If we did want to try and take it out of here, I'm not sure how we'd do it."

[Anastasia]

"I don't think it does meaningfully," Sylvie says at last, "I'm not sure it wants to go - I get the feeling it's content where it is."

[Nephrite]

"Well, it seems stable enough here, and we can't force it if it wants to stay." Moore says. "Does it know anything about this particular dimensional... pocket, let's call it?"

[Anastasia]

"Not in a sense that matters," Sylvie says after a pause, "It really is rather simple."

"Like a dog, you said?" Sanzha considers, "Why not provide it such a body? Jetina, you oversee life and healing, you should be able to manage something like that."

[Nephrite]

"Oh, that's a good idea." Moore says with a nod. "This would be a great time to try."

[Anastasia]

Jetina considers, "I could, but is it wise?" she speculates, "If it's happy and not a threat, why not just leave it be?"

[Nephrite]

"That's a fair point too. We could always ask, or... try and ask, I guess." Moore says. "But I suppose if we can put right all the dimensional... issues here, then staying here is fine."

[Anastasia]

"We have bigger issues," Cresiel speaks up, "We can return later if this is safe."

"We also have him," Jetina offers, "Let's escort him back to safety and then return to examine that sinkhole?"
