I'm sorry, you did what now?

Not entirely sure, actually. Depends whether we know you.

...no. Not that I know of. [pause. stare.] But-- maybe?

[For the love of the City, this is going to lead to paperwork, isn't it?]

Technically it wasn't me. I found it, I didn't do it.

[Probably. He'll shove as much of it off on Kelly as he can.] Right. If we don't know you, then nothing catastrophic. If we do... Probably something catastrophic.

[The face is wrong. But he does seem familiar.]

Technically. How I hate that word. See, if it is wasn't found then it wouldn't have been a problem.

[pause.] At least for a little while longer, and who knows, perhaps we wouldn't have been the ones trying to clean it up by that point.

[Isn't that why she is there? That and separating what is only mostly likely to result in terror and mayhem from what certainly will cause terror and mayhem. ]

Let's avoid the catastrophic, I have certainly had enough of that this week, what with-- wait- [Waitasecond, you do that thing, the weird thing with the pronouns that people always bug him about.

That's not normal. Nope, not normal at all. Doesn't help the growing feeling of 'something' in the pit of his stomach ease off.]

...bugger.

Considering how the thing's grown since I found it, I doubt it would have gone much longer without becoming a problem.

[She's very good at that.

His eyes narrow.]

I take it we do know you. Don't suppose this is all metaphysical? Another spirit walk or similar?

[Oh stop it with your logic, he just wants some time without things trying to eat him, or the City, or people in the city.]

And how much is that, exactly? Or would I rather not know and just get on to asking if you have tried something mythic on it yet?

I did, before it completely left cyberspace. I can track it now, but not much else.

[Yes, she is.

Swift sighs and barely resists the urge to sulk.]

Wouldn't that be something, and I would rather like that over the other possibilities, if only because we cannot even begin to comprehend what the other possibilities are. Or how they happened. Mostly the latter.

...you can track it. Excellent. That's a start, any change you can slow it down? Get it back in a computer? Something? Or do we have to go out in the rain and get it?

[Sulking would not be productive. There's a way to fix this. Probably. There usually is, anyway.]

At a guess? It would have something to do with falling through the cracks in the midst of a great many magicians throwing magic around like spitballs.

[No, it wouldn't. But it might make him feel better.

At least he doesn't have to worry about running. Yet.] Probably, yes. They have a habit of doing that I suppose. And they whine about us having no control...

Slowing it down might be possible, if I tap into its software. [Part of Q can't quite believe it comes down to his brand of sorcery, which he's generally assumed was relatively useless next to the Midnight Mayor's power. Regardless, he's on his tablet hooked up to the city's CCTV network already, starting a spell to track the creature.]

When they manage to potentially shatter multiple universes while trying to stop a relatively minor threat, you have to wonder at their priorities.

Possible is better than nothing.

[He leans over the chair, bright eyes trying to make sense of the scrolling information on the tablet. They don't completely elude him, they just-- well they are just not what he is best with.

Thankfully, he had Q.] And do we know where it came from?

Making us look bad, clearly this will be out fault, not theirs. We're the unstable one, remember?

I have a few theories, but it would take time and I would have to get in its mainframe to tell for sure.

[CCTV cameras and the knowledge of the creature's nature give him the location of the thing.] Found it. I'll see if I can slow it down at all.

Oh, clearly. Regardless of the fact that it's now our job to fix their screw-up. Again.

You need me to repeat it, really?

Good, and if that doesn't work, hypothetically speaking, what would i have to do to stop it?

That is what we seem to do now a days. That and get tangled in the politics, which I hate. So much. What ever happened to the good old days?

[You know, when you were chased and ripped apart by shadows and whatnot.]

Any ideas?

Was I unclear in my confusion? I was sure that was apparent.

Hypothetically? Given that it was born in cyberspace, I would suggest some kind of virus, if possible.

Well hello there.

the noise i just made. Why hello~

I'm sorry. Q is kind of a fanboy/worshiper of the blue electric angels, I can't resist.

I play a bunch of Swiftverse muses, I couldn't resist tagging you.

...you are an amazing person. Just-- yes. Brilliant.

this is awesome. i am just glad to find other people out there that know it. <3!

I have more, if you want them. Including an Alderman James Bond.

Ditto. There's a brand-new Penny Ngwenya around, too.

...Alderman Bond is actually a terrifying thought. But amazing.

One of my friends from LJ suggested it and I ran with it. I'm using them in a big bang entry. :D

I SAW. tagged me in the sleep meme. It makes me ever so pleased~

it is a pretty fantastic idea. And has me incredibly interested, because of reasons.

I know a couple people on LJ who know the fandom, but no one who regularly plays from it.

I-- know no one sadly. You read Stray Souls yet?

Want me to toss him at you? I need to voicetest him still.

I haven't, no. It's next after I reread Minority Council.

Uh, yes please. Though Matthew feels like he is going to be harassed...

Mmm, he isn't a main character, but it's still amazing.

Bond will try not to harass his boss, but we all know how good he is at that.

I adore her writing, I really do.

And here he is.

...right. He will prepare for harassment then XD

She's amazing, have you read her earlier books under the name Catherine Webb?

yes, good.

I'd apologize, but I'd be lying. :D
