>Derrick: Ask Ira if this thing feels hostile, if so, may be best to turn it off

> 2 because I'm curious

1, but then summon Vorrus again and do the same thing on a surface that isn't a door.

>2, for science.

>2 Most definitely.

>Vorrus Ira: close your eyes, see through the eye in the shadow snare

if this works we could set up like, surveillance cameras with this skill

>3: set the snare elsewhere, then see what'll happen

>1: I see no benefit in taking the risk. We'd be better off trying it again when we meet up with more of the kids in case it's dangerous. I see no reason to try this now.

Lucia: See what happens



You allow Ira to keep shadow snare going to see what happens next.

Lucia: What the heck IS that?
Ira: Hehe, cute!
Ira: Seems I've-- You've conjured something through Vorrus' abilities.
Lucia: I didn't do shit.
Ira: Most of the time conjuring is unintentional to the inexperienced.
Ira: This is a prime example of the scope of power you have access to, under the right training.
Lucia: Neat!

Ira: See, look.
Ira: I've dismissed the Vorrus summon, but the creature remains.
Ira: This was your product.
Lucia: What, is it a conjuration like you?
Ira: No, it must serve a purpose. I'm sure once it has it will go poof. ouo
Ira: It may be some weapon or means to aid. We can figure it out together.
Derrick: How weird.

Lucia has spawned a shadow creature of sorts. You're interested to find out what it could do.

> Clean up and put the creature in Lucia's room until you can get Reggie and Garry to help identify it.

Even assuming this guy is safe I'm not keen on messing with life when we don't know what it does or can do.

It looks like an owl!

Maybe it's some kind of scout?

>Make owl noises at it, see what happens

>Lucia: Maybe you should investigate what this adorable little thing is and/or does. You could ask it a question. It might not be able to speak, so if that's the case you could try having it blink once for no and twice for yes. If it can't communicate at all just see what it does.

I'm kinda worried because usually cute things try to kill us, or are otherwise dangerous.

>Send it outside the fort, and then follow it to see what it does.

>Derrick: treat it like a cat, offer your hand for it to 'sniff', if it seems amiable to the idea, try to pet it.

>Use the scientific method. Poke it with a stick.

>someone: pet it

I just wanna say, if anybody is going to pet the thing it should be Ira. At least she automatically comes back from the dead.

Congratulations, you made a surveillance camera. It has the all-seeing eye symbol and wall attachment appendages.

I doubt it's purely for scouting. If it is it's not really that great since we already have 14 or so people who are quite capable of doing it's job, one of which is required to have around just so we can use it in the first place (unless we decide to create a bunch of these guys, but that seems like more effort than it'd be worth since they're single use).

Even if all it does is scouting/surveillance, if we can mass produce it they're an upgrade to our scouting capabilities. I'd rather have a legion of scouts that I don't have to worry about dying than 14 scouts that I do.

Plus, let's be real. The reapers haven't really done the greatest job of keeping the house secure. If we have something that can tell us whether something is inside, as well as where/what they are that's a significant improvement on our security.

That said, more information is required no matter what it does. Right now this is all conjecture. For all we know this crawls into monster's skulls and gives them laser vision, or functions as a boombox.

Oh .my. glub. .... It's so adorabuble /)^3^(\
Seconding!

Also, brain flash! What if this IS Vorrus?! O.O

So, I had a thought. If this is a conjuration of Lucia's (even if a temporary one) wouldn't that mean we would be able to make commands with it as we would the other conjurations? Even if we can't directly make a command, if Lucia has any kind of control over it (which she should if she's sustaining it) we should be able to control it vicariously though her.

We might want to test that depending on what happens next.

>Well? Say hello to the little guy... girl... thing?

It's almost entirely an eye. Maybe call it a peeper?

Ira: Pet it



Ira pets the little shadow creature. It stares unflinchingly.

Derrick: Maybe we should keep it moving, we did get what we came for after all.
Lucia: Oh of course.

Derrick: Hmm, what should we draw to make ourselves big to Lethos.
Derrick: I'm open to ideas.
Derrick: .....
Derrick: Lucia?
Lucia: Yeah, I'm so ready for this, but...
Lucia: Maybe we should name this little guy something, it might respond better, y'know?
Derrick: I guess so.
