He is the ruler of this realm. We're lucky that he's willing to remain somewhat cordial in the face of disrespect.
[His authority figure trauma... He thinks for a moment.]
I brought it up to Jingheng. But I don't know if he's passed the information on to anybody else. [Hmm.] When you exchanged messages with Satan, did you happen to ask about the laws of this realm? The personal demons recently mentioned that the contest is taking place because it's within the laws of this realm and gets around the red tape.
If we learn more about the rules in place, we'll have better chances of finding a loophole.
[god. she nods. i feel like harrow and hunter just constantly wordlessly vibe.]
I lead a much smaller and less powerful place, but - I understand his concerns. There is a lot about the Ninth House I would like to change, and I could simply demand that change occur wildly and confidently, but as loyal as my subjects are, there is power in tradition. There are things they expect. To move too quickly would risk failure.
[it's just not as easy as demanding satan do things differently.]
I haven't. But I find him easy to talk to. The personal demons also may know.
[it's traumatized living corpse teen to traumatized living corpse teen communication.]
Sometimes, even if the way things are is bad, people will still cling to it because it's the only thing they know. You can change the rules but not their minds. I get it.
[just kinda of inconvenient, tbh.]
I talked to them, but I don't think the personal demons know either. Malibu basically said I should ask Satan.
Good. I'll avoid irritating him with too many questions, then.
Hmm...Akira pointed out that some will want to be able to see different worlds. I do not...want to press things too much. But this will only work if everyone agrees.
Interesting. Even so, if it is a particular type of blood, it can be re-engineered in some other fashion.
[she taps her jaw.]
I'm familiar with travel via blood. Spaceships are able to travel long distances through the use of particularly oxygenated blood on obelisks, which attract ghosts. The thread of ghosts feeding on the blood allows a necromancer to move the ship through the river, rather than through space, which might take years or even centuries at even great speed.
Perhaps interdimensional travel is a similar technique, and another means of achieving the same ends is possible. A Titan's ghost could be called, for instance.
[Oh... Fascinating... He puts a hand to his chin, thinking.]
The river?
[It sounds like A Specific River.]
In the demon realm, some witches specialize in channeling and controlling spirits for different purposes. We call them oracles. But no one has ever tried to call forth the spirit of the Titan. Or, well, not successfully. Probably because it'd be sacrilege to even try.
If we could find the right blood to try your method, though... What happens to the ghosts after you use them to control the ship?

[he, too, would an interdimensional ferry. but hopefully toh rules do not apply here.]
Is he already aware we're trying to find another way? Or is that gonna be something for us to... figure out how to pitch later?
