Self-portrait with Masks

[So. He has the power to create anything.]

[In the ballroom, he makes the tools of his family's trade. He makes paintbrushes and easels, pallets, chisels, each ornate and ribbed in gold, decorated by wings and twists. Any artists around, come one, come all! And come fast.

Because as he makes them, he destroys them, letting them fade before they can stay for too long.]

[Lead me not into temptation.]

That's it, then.

[a nod] Then do you know any science fiction or stories where things like that do?

I remember reading books of hitch-hiking in space, but the most that comes to mind are those fantasy video games I would play with the kids. Silly incantations and spells.

If we can think of something that can erase memories, we could make it.

Like what? My expertise mainly applies to science and my trying to drug him isn't the smartest plan.

[ex_fatalist246]

Something you could use on him at a distance. [THE MINDPROBE!!! wait no] We can invent it.

[Is refraining from making any magical girl or fantasy mage jokes here SHE SPENDS WAY TOO MUCH TIME AROUND THE KIDS, OKAY?] That would still be complicated though. To make something to have such precision and accuracy it would only erase a single memory or thought?

[ex_fatalist246]

We can make anything we want. If that's what we want it to do, then it will do that.

[So why hasn't he made anything that he hasn't destroyed after?]

[She's quiet now, thinking on this. It had to be something that she could carry around with her that would attract any attention. Something a normal child could be seen having in their possession. For something as bizarre and strange as this, she had to use her imagination.

When it came to her, she was still unsure about it and was skeptical when she spoke up.]

It may be easier to come up with some sort of device that could act like a cloak or filter to keep him from recognizing me.

[And as she said this out loud she immediately felt foolish. Her life really was becoming far too complicated with the Machine being involved.]

[ooc: I did not just suggest that a perception filter be put into a bracelet or necklace. Of course not.]

[ex_fatalist246]

[He considers that and nods.] It's worth trying. [Trying to make a PERCEPTION FILTER.]

[He's going to make a neuralyser for her, too. And possibly retcon pills. They are going to be snatching things up from scifi for their self-defence.]

I'll take anything at this point. I can't endanger anyone because of me.
