[Curiosity can not always be attributed entirely to the literal demons of our nature. Particularly not if we've nearly been killed by imprisonment in an intemperate spaceship, courtesy of a dehydrated saboteur, who may or may not be experiencing ventricle shrinkage in her brain. Mostly, William wonders if there's an insanity plea aboard the Tranquility, and whether they reserve adversarial justice for the Tranquility's native bogeys.

Possessed guys need to know.]

is this martial law, common law, civil, utterly fucking irrelevant, or written down anywhere?

What justice awaits Charlotte Daniau?

I've got an inquiry about amputation. Metaphysical amputation, you could call it.

Where I come from, cutting off limbs is a routine procedure. We've been doing it since before the days of biting on a belt buckle and bearing the pain. And if you do it right, you'll survive. But what about parts that can't can't be cut into and stitched up?

Some of you call it magic, even if that frankly just sounds like fairytale bullshit to me. A generalized name for distinct powers in different worlds.

It's something that can't be seen or touched, that's immaterial, and is yet just as attached to you as an arm or leg. If you cut yourself you bleed. If you remove that part of you, what happens? How the fuck do you cut out something like that?

At least for me, it hasn't always been there, so logically, I shouldn't need it around. I should be able to get rid of it, without repercussion. Except that's the thing about this-- magic-- power-- whatever you want to call it. It isn't logical. It's existence itself is a blatant fuck you to all the laws of the universe, laws that have a damn good reason for being there in the first place. Unfortunately, it's also stubborn. Older and trickier than you can even imagine. It doesn't want to go away, and it'll keep on reminding you of that, louder and louder, ever incessant.

My question is simple— how do I get rid of it?
