"Well, that makes about as much sense as the rest of this shit. But Artie called the UN, so unless they're connected to the Mall, I think we'll be able to call whomever we want."
"Objection! This is in fact, a newer model, and is not the famous 'indestructible' model. Also for the last time, Ion cannons are OP."
I go back to Trilby.
"They are a massive organization I guess, so it's likely they know about the mall. If the time ever comes up though, we'll find out."
"Well, the Invictus police know about Malls, so I'd assume the UN does as well. Though, I think it would be bad for them if they were in any way connected to us, so it's likely they just have space-phones. Let's test this."
I pull out my phone and dial the number for a takeaway on Anhur. "Anhur takeaway."
"Uh... do you deliver to the Bekenstein area?" "Yes."
"Okay then... uh..."
I proceed to place an order for a large amount of food, then hang up.
"So... space phones seem to be a thing."
"I guess you were right Trilby. And Woon, I just wanted to point out the stupidity of the ion cannon, and how OP it is. I just wanted to tell you to never mention it again, or use it."
I grab the phone, go onto the roof of the Mall, and throw it into the dark void that is space.
"I'm getting some interference, hold up a sec." I climb to the highest point of the mall use the mall itself as a channel for my telepathy. "Where are you?"
"W̨̛̰̩̥͇̜̦̱̬͐̌̋̾̎ͦ̀ô̵͖͚̮̤͚͖͓ͦͪ͐̏ͥ͢ù̷̧͉̮͇͖̆ͮ̔̃ͪḻ̼̰̈́̓́d̵̛͉̩̻̈͑̽̉ͪ̑ͤͫ̾͡ ̦̲͖̘͍͍̳̜ͤ̒͋̐͢y̱̺̞̰ͤ͝o̫̤͍͕̯͍̪ͨͧ͟u͕͕̪̮̼̭͎̎̍ belive me if I told you I had no idea??"
[i/]I look around, scanning my surroundings. I seem to be on a raised plinth of some sort, with circular steps around it. As far as the eye can see, bookshelves stretch off in all directions. Looking up, there is another floor, and another, stretching off into infinity. In the distance, moving vaulting over shelves and scrabbling across stairwells, many-legged creatures scurry.[/i]
"WELL HOT DIGGETY DAMN! I'll be right over!" My tulpa appears next to Sigma before exploding in a cloud of thought energy. Particle lights swirl and hum as a tulpa reappears in the mall, transparent and weakened. The cloud of lights around Sigma and the tulpa in the mall speak simultaneously. I'm glad I'm not alive to feel how much this hurts."
[i/]I scream and stumble backwards from the cloud of thoughts, tripping over the em of my dress and falling over. Something small and indistinct skitters out of my pocket and is soon lost in between the shelves.[/i]
"I'm still a guy, Paddy"
[i/]I get to my feet and adjust my corset, again. It needs to be restringed. The Seamstress Guild won't be happy.[/i]
"Any idea where we are?"
"FUCK NO! owowowowowowow. Nice dress, hook me up with whoever made up after this. ANd how would i know ehwre we are i came here because oyu said there werre books?""
