James & Tony

Okay. I need your help with something.

I've already made something for Eleanor to act as a protection, but I need something that she can touch or something that can let me know she's in danger and preferably her coordinates. I figure a magic-tech something might be easier or magic for when that's something we can use and something tech-related for when magic's acting up. I figure options is probably for the best. I can't let ~~my future~~ my girlfriend die and it's hard to text and be in danger at the same time.

Also just in case, Tony, this is James. James, this is Tony. I don't know who you both know and don't know. I don't have Julia or my Tony here, so my usual go-to magic-tech duo are unreachable. Welcome to the crew or something.

	I know most of you Outlanders, not to worry. But it's a pleasure to be on the crew. I'm assuming another tattoo is out - but whatever piece of tech you decide on, I can use a combo of spells to link the two pieces together. Maybe add a psychic navigation aspect so you two can have your own sort of GPS happening. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I don't know if she's amenable to tattoos. I guess we can always ask. But yeah. I'll see if she wants to do something matching. Whatever it is, it should be easy to do and not need too many steps. We've spoken some about it. Before she disappeared and came back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a good idea to have a tech backup as well, just in case. Magic will likely continue to get quirkier and quirkier here, which is unable to be helped. Just the nature of Vallo evolving, I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's always something annoying going on. I've seen both tech and magic mess up. So that's why it's best to do both and hope they don't mess up at the same time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ha, exactly. Luck can be bad here but it's usually not THAT bad. Would she be open to a mental link with you? We could check Asetenarra's spell books and codices - I'm pretty sure blood magic has been used to establish those between coven members. We also used them in Vorerra, though that brand is a lot more invasive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It would be my luck. And then I'd have to fight Vallo. I'll ask her. Does the mental link mean she can read my mind, though? Asking for me. Cause that seems awkward. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcane 2022-05-09 10:57 am UTC (link)
	It likely deserves a punch or two by this point. No, not at all. Spell design would mean it's triggered by blood, perhaps? Or other means. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andrieski 2022-05-09 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	Most likely. Considering everything. Well, that’s easier, then. I can get her a small knife if I have to. For the blood stuff. Either way, we can figure something out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcane 2022-05-09 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	Indeed we will. Plus - bonus of being able to stab someone if necessary, should you give her a knife. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andrieski 2022-05-10 04:09 am UTC (link)
	Yes. She needs more weapons and probably a better understanding of fighting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcane 2022-05-10 11:40 am UTC (link)
	Admittedly that's not my area but - plenty of people here seem to have a PhD in it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andrieski 2022-05-10 04:25 pm UTC (link)
	They do. I'll see if anyone doesn't suck enough for it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	knightish 2022-05-11 02:08 am UTC (link)
	Should be easy enough to manage. My first thought is something that she can wear all the time without it looking out of place. Bracelet, watch, necklace...that sort of deal. Would any of those work? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	andrieski 2022-05-11 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Eleanor’s opted for the bracelet option. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knightish 2022-05-18 01:38 am UTC (link)
	I'll draft up some design ideas for her and she can pick the one she likes best. Give me like two days? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andrieski 2022-05-18 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Okay. I will do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knightish 2022-05-18 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Question. Do we want something horrifically gaudy to show her first before I show her the actual designs? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andrieski 2022-05-18 02:58 am UTC (link)
	Are you asking if you want to make her question both our tastes at once? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knightish 2022-05-18 03:00 am UTC (link)
	Basically, yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andrieski 2022-05-18 03:20 am UTC (link)
	I feel like I already gave her a self portrait of herself as a clown. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knightish 2022-05-18 03:23 am UTC (link)
	Ooh, I could add clown embellishments. Now there's an idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andrieski 2022-05-18 03:41 am UTC (link)
	She might kill me and then you. Or scream and run. Hard to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knightish 2022-05-18 03:43 am UTC (link)
	I mean, about the same odds I usually have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andrieski 2022-05-18 04:06 am UTC (link)
	If I die because of this, I'm going to haunt you and make your life terrible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knightish 2022-05-18 04:13 am UTC (link)
	Noted, and warning heeded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andrieski 2022-05-18 04:32 am UTC (link)
	As long as you fully understand that I'm blaming you for it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
