You know what? Fair enough answer.

Then with that settled—

Welcome to the Blue Phoenix Estate, Robyn.

Why do you not want anything significant in return? I came here expecting to have to stand my ground on not involving myself heavily in anyone’s affairs, but you really didn’t even bring it up.

@Magnanimity

You want an honest answer? There’s nothing you can do to really help me, and frankly, I don’t have anything better to do right now.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Sounds to me like we’ll get along then. The terms are acceptable. If, I could just ask you one thing.

@Magnanimity

Sure, go ahead.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Well, rules for rules? One, no mind control. Two, that you guarantee progress rather than this being a mechanism by which I stay a forever chore girl. I don’t want to be rude, and I do appreciate your hospitality, but I just really, really want to avoid being taken advantage of ever again.

@Magnanimity

Mind control is so far beyond forbidden that it’s not even a question. For the second, if I needed more help I’d find more help. I’m not interested in another permanent resident.

Magic is real?

@Magnanimity

As much as I wish it didn’t.

As long as you won't be trying anything extra. Being subject to mind control for so long make a person want to avoid being taken advantage of ever again.

@Magnanimity

There are three rules for tenants of the Blue Phoenix Estate: One, no magic. Ever. Two, everyone helps maintain the grounds. That’s cleaning, cooking, gardening, chores like that. Three, never try to enter locked rooms. If you can live with that, you’re welcome to stay.

Even hearing it's possible is all I needed. It means someone out there can do it surely, even if the search would ideally end with you.

@Magnanimity

On the subject of being a vagrant, do you want to stay in the guest rooms while the machine searches? It’ll need samples from you along the way anyway.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

You have no idea how grateful I'd be. I just want to get out of this loop of never knowing where I am or anyone there.

@Magnanimity

I can understand that much. Just don’t misunderstand me, I’m not a miracle worker.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Lucky. You know, maybe I really am.

@Magnanimity

You’ll be someone lucky if it works. But planets are large, and universes are larger. Yours wouldn’t be the tiniest needle I’ve dug up.

@Magnanimity

Most people hold some underlying connection to where they came from. Depending on what they do, that connection may get weaker over time. Lucky for you, this is a specialty of mine.
