> > And now Vizh has got me wondering about a Dancer/Tom meeting.
> At least she won't add to Vinnie's problems then.

Shep's able to multi-task.

> > If Vinnie finds out that Liu Xi's messing with the Necronastycon he's going to be big-time worried, since he knows the sentient book to be inherently evil and corrupting, and a tool of Nyarlurkotep and the Fairy Great Old Ones for the destruction of the world as we know it and the return of the Elder Gods.
> I think Liu Xi mentioned once that Xander gave it to her. As to why, nobody really knows. But fortunately as my notes indicate it's "condensed"...both literally in size (it's shrunken down to the size of a matchbook) and figuratively - the spell that keeps it small is something like "one fifth the size, one fifth the power". Also fortunately Liu Xi knows not to carry it around with her all the time. In fact she doesn't want it at all, but she doesn't want anyone else to have it either because she knows it can hurt the Shoggoth.

> And hopefully Vinnie will note that Liu Xi has actually become *less* corrupt since the book has come into her possession. And maybe someday she'll use get to use the "one fifth" spell on a really powerful person.

Could be a catastrophic day. Can people get "a little big pregnant"?

> > First, to clarify: the Ancient Egyptian world that Tom's entered isn't illusion - it's what reality has become. The illusion is the facade of modern Egypt still being there with business as normal. Anyone who sees through that illusion falls into reality - with the subsequent changes to them.

> I meant if the it spreads across the whole world, there are going to be people who know it's not right. Especially if Faite chooses a few people to keep the memories of what's normal with them like last time.

Once time has changed it's not going to flip back easily, especially given Koo's pack with the Fairly Great Old Ones. If they awaken then it's hunting season on our regular cosmic beings.

> > However, for there to be a sense of drama there has to be a sense of threat.
> That's true too, but I was talking in-story, wondering whether Koo knows there are going to be exceptions, or if this is his "nobody can stop me" speech, where he actually believes everyone is going to accept his reality and there will be no problems.

He's confident that this time he;s planned it out right.

> In other words, Lara's knowledge would help her understand, but she'd still be subject to the rules of the place. She'd still "officially" be a Djinn until she leaves, and prone to anything they would normally be. She doesn't want to get stuck granting Visionary three wishes.

It's Flapjack's three wishes she needs to worry about.
