Astra Wants a Fig Leaf

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 105307

Minestus and Belboz appeared. "Nexus Prime!" said Minestus. "Now this might be the resolution of our issues!"

"So you've been here before?" Belboz said.

"Of course. It's the natural place to come to when one wants to embark on controlled multiverse-hopping. Of course our current problem is the opposite: unwanted and apparently random shifts between universes and also in time. However this is where we should be able to find the necessary expertise and science to solve our little problem. It's very lucky that Astra's random jump has brought us here."

"Science?" Astra said. "What's that?"

"It's easiest to think of it as a particular branch of magic."

"I see," Astra said. "Before we do anything else can we go in there?" She pointed at the storefront of Isher Weapons. "When I was here before the proprietor made me a gift of a bracelet with the most marvellous disk which he called a Fig Leaf, which could magically generate clothing and armour and do many other wonderful things."[78447]

"What happened to it?" Belboz said.

"I don't know, but perhaps he would give me another one. That's why I want to go in." (From what the lady coming out of Starbucks had told her, it seemed that they might also be giving out the Fig Leaf bracelets, but she wasn't quite sure about that.)

  1. "Later perhaps," Minestus said, "but there's something else that we must do first."
  2. "Not a good idea," Minestus said. "You are currently so unstable that the simple act of putting on clothes could easily trigger another shift."
  3. They went inside.
  4. But just then the storefront vanished.
  5. Suddenly someone called out Astra's name. Who could it be?
