Hello, everyone.

My name is Sandrilene, it's a pleasure to meet you all. As we have been warned about the darkness on our next mission I would like to offer assistance where I can. For anyone who wishes, I am able to make bracelets or other simple woven items that emit light. Please let me know if you would like one! I will make some in advance of the mission and bring my tools to make more while we are away.

Best wishes,
Sandrilene fa Toren

I'd like to request four then for my team. Or perhaps more, if I can request them for others in my bigger team from home who are not on my team of four, in case they don't see this?


[ A beat. ]

I'm working on some light options for my group as well, in case others with a greater need show up and need theirs made first. If so, definitely do that.

[ Another. ]

Can I ask about what you're making them with?

And how exactly they work?

[threadmage]

Yes, if you tell me the numbers I will make that many for you to distribute. As for how I make them, I spin thread and call the light into the thread. Once the thread is finished I braid it into bracelets so they can be easily worn. Regardless of day or night they will glow.

[her_own_rules]

That's amazing.

[ There's some dubiousness in it, that's more wariness of the unknown than suspicion of this little girl. And her very charitable offer. On such a short timetable. Magic isn't something she can replicate. Or control. But her world does have it, as a, well, not quite normal feature. But it's not irregular either. Just more rare than not; and more normal than most normal people could identify with. ]

They're all superheroes where I come from, so I wouldn't be able to give you any of their real names, and it would be easier for me to deliver them to everyone, but I'd be glad to go about this whichever way is easiest for you, too. As this is a very kind thing you're offering up.

You didn't mention payment.

Do you have a price?

Or is there anything I can help you acquire for prepping your team as well?
It's a large part of what I'm doing for mine, and what I do for everyone back home, too.

[threadmage]

There is no payment necessary, if I can help that is payment enough. And I will leave the distribution to you.

What is a "superhero"?

[her_own_rules]

[ That's not too surprising is it. Not here.
But it's been a little while since she's done one of those. ]

Where I come from, a superhero is someone who decides that having an edge—whether it's magic, training, intelligence, or sheer stubbornness—means they choose to use it to protect those who can't defend themselves.

Most of them also wear costumes, or masks, or both. Not to pretend to be something else, but to separate their work from the rest of their lives, protecting the people in their lives who are connected to their unmasked identities and might be caught up in any potential retribution.

[threadmage]

That sounds wonderful! And you said they're here as well? If so then we're lucky to have them.

[her_own_rules]

Well, not everyone. Back home, there are a lot more heroes than we have here. But yes.
I'm grateful to still be able to work alongside them and help them, even here.

[ Even when she would rather they weren't here specifically. In these circumstances. These games. From a half dozen universes together. She can't focus on that now, though, so she counts instead. And she counts again. Then, for the last time. Considering plans and potentials. Breaks it into four different categories from most important to would like to, but wouldn't feel guilty if she couldn't. Most of it still comes down to Jon. Then her family. Then Jon's—Clark's—family, which should include the Tower of Justice boys, then, too; if Clark is inviting Hernan to family holiday's, and Bruce & Kirk have a tenuous truce, and Hernan and Kirk are together now. ]

In total, I'd like to request 13 to cover everyone on my mission team, home team, and extended allies here, but I know that is a lot to ask, and a lot more people may need your services as well, so I would be grateful for whatever you can make if it can't be all of them, too.

[threadmage]

I can make that many. I'd be happy to be able to contribute to such a group!

[her_own_rules]

That is incredibly kind of you. Thank you.
