[ Elfnein has a very panicked look on her face and an alien like familiar next to her. If you didn't know what it was you might just think it's a cute little monster.]

How do I get rid of a familiar? This one isn't safe to have around people.

[ Even though it's touching Elfnein's hand nothing is happening and it's just chilling. ]

It's a type of monster from my home that causes people to carbonize on contact. I can't let it hurt anyone here!

[ Blank stare at the screen. ]

You're right. It's difficult to explain.

Why don't you find a cage to toss the thing in? They must have one some where.

[alchemists]

The cage might not hold if they do in fact have their carbonization abilities still, even if it's in a less powerful form.

[serpentinthegarden]

Has it tried to carbonize anything? It might be like us with it's magic taken away.

[alchemists]

I don't think it has? I haven't noticed any piles of ash yet...

[serpentinthegarden]

Then why worry? Until it's carbonized its first person assume it can't!

[ He mightn't have been entirely serious about that. ]

[alchemists]

[ That is one way to put it... if it doesn't do harm now just take it as is until the worst happens. ]

The logic on that seems a little off?

[serpentinthegarden]

[ That is a much more diplomatic way to phrase it than Crowley had put it, but that was the meaning! ]

Does it? Makes sense to me... Besides that's meant to be your familiar isn't it? So it's not like it would do anything that is actually harmful to you.

[alchemists]

I have to wonder what rules guide familiars and how they really work.

[serpentinthegarden]

The only rule I've heard of is the one I just said, they have to work with you otherwise there is no magic... and if there is no magic this place stops existing... and if this place ends so do the rest of the universes, so it's in your familiar's own best interest not to turn you into charcoal. Just remind um of that if it starts causing too much trouble, it should keep it in line.

[alchemists]

If that's the case I'll just keep telling them not to destroy things and hope for the best.
