How do I get back into this? My life suddenly got 37% busier and I forgot, but I should be able to hop in.

((Simple!  Vespyr took over a city with a show of force and is making a school to train an elite force of peeps to go up against the queen.  Come join the party!))

That’d be good; has the main group ran back into her yet?

They're in like the entry hall? And Cadenza's in the fighting hall, where Trace, Vespyr, and Brother Sparrow are. But she's in a different place and she's got her hair down over her face. She's wearing the same clothes, though.

The entry hall of what?  Eh, whatever.

Maddy began to wander off, following the hallways, going nowhere in particular.

Of the school Vespyr made.

Did she hear Trace telling people? She didn't tell Janice - Aryanna did that.

"I don't have to do anything," Vespyr said plainly.  "You are likely being used in your dormant state as eyes for the Queen, with or without your will or knowledge.  I will not trust you with faith or knowledge, not while your body is under her control.  We both know the extents she can go.  Ask yourself, why are you somehow able to manifest without form?  Why are you urged to hunt me down?  Has she sent you after Janice, yet?  You might trust your resolve, but can you trust that you are not being used?  And can you even explain the science or the magic behind your miraculous appearance?"  

I’m with Janice, and no, I can’t prove that I’m not being used.

I'll just say she doesn't; that's simpler.

As Maddy walked, she noticed signs on the walls, like a directory. Fighting Hall, she read. That sounded interesting, more interesting than just walking around aimlessly. So Maddy followed the arrows in the direction of the Fighting Hall. She wondered how complete it would feel. She had been spoiled training under the army.

"I want you to tell me the science, the technology, exactly, behind why you are able to present yourself here and now," Vespyr said, "I need to ensure that you are not a risk."

She would notice a gigantic colosseum-type arena, with at least twenty pairs of people currently battling.  More lined the walls of the arena, waiting for turns to fight or resting from fights they'd just completed.  The area had a layer of sand at least three inches deep over earth; there was no real wood or concrete floor.  The arena was open to the sky.  Where most arenas would have decoration or embossments, the place looked weather-worn, angular, and  strange.

"If you do not know how or why, then you are not free," Vespyr said simply, "And I cannot have you here, or it would risk the safety of everyone here."

I know why! The Queen was being careless and didn’t suck up all of me.

"Then how do you have agency?  How can you manifest without a source, without using your lingering energy in its entirety, then fading?  You have a source, and I doubt that your soul is source enough to power a magic this strange or strong.  I will not trust the lives of these people into the hands of a callous killer."

[ProfetessaOscura she/her]

((So, he would totally be open to literally everyone else, but he doesn't trust Trace.  For, as Mrs. Weasley aptly puts, "Don't trust anything that you don't know where it keeps its brain."))

I have... no clue. I’ve got nothing.

Okay.  Would it be possible for me to do the same thing I've done before and have a character come through a rip, a la Martin in FOTT, Reese in Scholar?  Or no?

So if I understand it correctly, here's a character: Rig, a Guardian from Amaria.  Really bare bones, but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing.

I think Null was going to introduce universe-hopping, but he hasn't been on in ages, so I can't say anything for a certainty. What that means is that pulling in a character from another universe might not work very well. What help do you need creating a traditional SC character?

I have the basic idea behind the character, but I don't know why she would be near the party, or really how the magic system works.
