Path: "I don't actually eat. And don't want to touch you, at all."

Dreamer: "I have assiduously avoided watching any of the movies about me and haven't sat still for an actual photo shoot either."

@settled-not-still: "You have the pull to make sure your daemon's in frame, and I recommend using it."

Dreamer: "I'll take that under advisement."

Jennasus: Hey kiddo! Where're your parents? Do you usually wander around in midform?

Pen: "Am lost."

Jennasus: Aww, pumpkin. Okay, let's go find them. Do you live in this Avalon or are you just visiting?

Pen: "…Am more than that lost."

Jennasus: "Hoooow much more is 'more than that'? Well, hey, how about this. How did you get here? We can go back that way!"

Pen: "Can't. Door broken."

Jennasus: "Door broken? Which door? Can you point it out to me? Maybe I can get in."

Pen: "…Am more lost than that. Much much much."

Jennasus: "Okay, sweetheart, I understand you are very very lost, and I'll help if I can. Okay? Yes? Can you tell me where your parents are? Or at least should be, that works too."

Pen: "…Mommy and Daddy at Eyrie in world of Samaria but could get home from any world having a Jane this one not have."

Jennasus: "...waaait what was that. World of Samaria? Wha?"

Pen: "You are not understand how lost."

Jennasus: "...yeeeep, getting that. You wanna come get ice cream with me and my siblings and we can try to figure it out?"

Pen: "Ice cream nice."

Emma: "I like your costume."

Pen: "Am lost."

Emma: "Oh. Um. I have my phone, if you want to call them?"

Pen: "Too far to brainphone."

Emma: "Aww, that's a cute name for telepathy. Uh. Who's watching you while they're gone? We can call them instead?"

Pen: "Am lost in wrong world."

Stella: "I could, you know, fix that."

@bark-is-worse: "...Wouldn't turn down anaesthetic."

Stella: "Done."

Alice: "Shielding yourself from the sun or moon doesn't work?"

@bark-is-worse: "No."

Alice: "Except if you do it with substantial parts of the planet Earth. I wonder how deep you'd have to go. Try a diamond mine or something."

@bark-is-worse: "I -"

Alice: "Damn, that won't work either."

--Raezenoth and Jennasus--

Jennasus: "...Huuuuh. You look awfully young for God. Maybe that's just my God?"

Raezenoth: "Likely. I may look old if I wish. And I do not."

Jennasus: "...goooood point. I would totally do that too, if I could! All I get is midform."

Raezenoth: "That is more than many get."

Jennasus: "Which sucks for them! Because I get to be a pretty flying horse, and it is the best."

Raezenoth: "I have never been a flying horse. I might try it, when I have time."

Jennasus: pegasusifies prances "Look look look!"

Raezenoth: "It does look fun."

Jennasus: "Wanna go flying?"

Raezenoth: "Yes."

Jennasus: "WHEE!"


--Idania and Jennasus--

Idania: "So you are a secret flying horse? Sounds fun!"

Jennasus: "I am! It's great! Are you a secret something too?"

Idania: "No I am a very unsecret acolyte. Which is like a priest but also I have magic powers."

Jennasus: "Ooooooh, magic. Do you have to draw runes and speak in wacky languages? That's what May does."

Idania: "Oh man I wish! I fly and have some blessings on me. Can I learn to draw runes and speak in wacky languages?"

Jennasus: "Probably! Maybe? I actually have no idea! Just be careful, May says you can, like, blow up if you do it wrong or something."

Idania: "I will take it seriously. But also? Eeeheehee magic!"

Jennasus: "Heeee. Bookstore, that way."

me: Idania: "Thanks!" *flies off*

I’d assume you’d need to be well within the mantle at least before it affected turning, and at that point you kind of have bigger problems and are still probably not deep enough. The crust is so thin that a diamond mine would barely even be worth trying if it were substantially more difficult than that to test.

Also:
Splay and the immortal
Splay and Sarion
Splay and Juliet
Splay and Silverlight
Splay and Aar Bite-My-Face

And, for Alicorn and Aestrix
Splay and Inavet

Why are you so interested in Splay, is there something you are hoping it will discuss if you throw enough people at it?

I can’t speak for anybody else (I only suggested Splay once before that post; others asked about Splay far more), but my first suggestion involving Splay was because I hoped it would compare its being the friend of Zinc, who has multiple friends, with Aurora’s trouble with polyamory.

The most recent batch, was because those all seem to have done interesting things from its economic perspective. The Immortal is the villain that its stories could not even imagine: the one who took without getting a price, and then refused to pay that price. Sarion sacrificed her mental well-being for the rest of society. I have no idea what Splay will think of chosen-one style duties of Juliet. I don’t remember why I specifically asked for Silverlight. I expected Splay would have a unique perspective on the journalistic ethics of Aar Bite-My-Face. As for Inavet, there’s the aspect of her working against the rest of society, and the way the government gives and takes from its citizens.

I understand that Splay hasn’t studied much history or economic theory, but I expect it could still have interesting reactions here. Or you could go in a completely different direction, of course.

EDIT: Cleaned up some confusing parts because I rewrote partway through writing the post

Ina: "So how does decanting work, if um. That's not rude to ask about?"

Splay: "It is not rude. Babies grow in artificial environments until they are big enough to survive outside of them, then the containers are opened and they are moved to the nursery."

Ina: "That sounds similar to how my people work. Not quite the same, they are given to the parents that applied for the child, but."

Splay: "Parenting is no longer customary among us. It would reduce social harmony."

Ina: "... Ah. Well. Okay. I suspect that my culture would just refuse to give it up."

Splay: "We did first have to be invaded and conquered by a hostile species."

Ina: "That would do it, yeah. Thankfully we haven't had to deal with that... particular problem."

Splay: "They are gone now."

Ina: *nod*
