» Horizon

Geralt is always reachable by the network. Unless it's an emergency, expect not to hear back for a few hours, if not a few days.

To talk to him in person, you'll need to be in Cadens or go to his domain, a snowy mountain fortress. Yard is open; doors are locked. If he isn't around, leave a delivery with the white wolf.

[ Approximately 37 hours later. ]

No.

[thedevilwhorose]

[He's going to figure Geralt was either genuinely thinking about, wondering what the hell, why is this now my life, or plainly doing the reasonably thing and ignoring the devil.

Honestly, he's surprised to get a response at this point and continues going unperturbed.]

Do you think it's possible? It's 50-50 he can't die, but kick his mind into the Horizon and keep the body on life-support...

Alternatively throw him at the physical Singularity and dump him completely into the Horizon, but I'm not sure if even with the Mark he could approach the Singularity outside of the Dimming. And, truthfully, I don't think he has another year.

[gynvael]

[ Why is this his life. (Unfortunately, he also needs a solution.) ]

It isn't possible.

[ He's been thrown into the crater. It's how the first of them formed the connection. As seems to be the theme of his existence, he'd not asked for it. Not like most of the later Summoned. ]

When you received the mark.
Did you consent?
Was it an agreement, as you made with Cain?

[thedevilwhorose]

I did.

At the time there was no understanding of it as a curse.

[Not that it would have mattered. Lucifer adored his Father and was still so loyal in the Beginning. He would've done anything his Father asked.]

[gynvael]

Did you ever return to him,
to ask him to free you from it?

[thedevilwhorose]

Optimistic of you to think that asking would've mattered. I had a duty and all that.

[gynvael]

Wanted to know what he'd said if you had.
But that answers enough.

[thedevilwhorose]

I bet you anything he could have removed it. I bet he could have found another way.

It was never about solutions.

[gynvael]

If you had to guess what way that would be,
what would you say?

[thedevilwhorose]

[He almost says 'how about don't lock and leave someone in a cage' until he realizes Geralt is likely still talking about the Mark and not solutions for Lucifer.]

I don't know, how about not slapping the lock and key to a living being and making that a requirement.

He's the All-Mighty. He could've made something unbreakable if he just felt like it but he didn't.

If you think I'm going to draw something useful out of a bag thinking what-would-my-Father do it's pointless, but nice try, truly. His true solutions would be on a cosmic level and we can't achieve that here.
