They got ready to take the door that Liv-Old suggested, because it would be silly not to trust her now, their robotic whites changed out for sporting clothes, their packs re-balanced with new supplies.  “You won’t need prote

The seed of a plan!

Also, yay, Liv1 seems to be mostly free of the candy influence.

(I wonder if they can figure out how to get back to this place / this Liv fairly reliably? How much influence/control people have over where they wind up when they open a door remains very fuzzy.)

No more candy! Yay!

I don’t know that they have much at all, but we shall see.

Well, thinking about what flavor of place she'd like to reach seemed to have some influence on Abbe's last couple of jumps, and Senior Liv seems to be able to go back to her mall-of-choice reliably, and managed to follow Abbe&Livs to the overly clean mall. Is that meaningful or repeatable? Dunno yet!

So there is *some* ability to choose where you’re going. But how they’re doing it is still in question.

Man, I need a list of things I have to wrap up on this one.

[kelkyag]

Lists of loose threads can be very handy, IME. :)

never see any beavers, but I can’t remember why that was important

The ginger candy wore off!

How many other Livs can they accumulate? There was the faun-transformed one they left behind, and Liv-Old they're about to leave. Will it become an army of Livs, with one Abby?

Also, is the amulet doing anything at all other than making robots dislike them?

[aldersprig]

On the other hand, steering her with beavers was working pretty well.

The amulet? That’s a good question!!

[kelkyag]

Amulets, plural! Abbe also has the old version that she picked up from the Abbe the vines had eaten.

[sauergeek]

Ooh, right! Hrm, I wonder if they nominally do the same thing.
