Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
I wonder what kinda switches that keyboard has, maybe Kat went all out and engineered herself something like Topre.

Donlan's not great with ether stuff and is smart enough to know when to listen to the experts. The technological bit is in a small box behind the monitor, the rest is etheric theatre based on what Dadpire thought "looked computery".

The ether is formed by belief.

Kat can fast-track the Court to Godhood by just simulating a large enough congregation for it.

I'm guessing this causes a fight because Kat keeps seeing the ether as something to poke/prod/play around with and Rey probably very much does not.

Yep, I came here to post "nothing could go wrong". I guess that means the chapter has us right where it wants us (equal parts dread and curiosity), but I actually don't know where it's going from here, so, good job.

When she transfers Renard to Annie, she wants to do it via the computer so she can observe anything that might be happening during the transfer from an etheric standpoint. Her hunch is that the ownership works is some similar sense to how the arrow worked WRT the RoTD, and she wants to see if she's correct.
