I've been given the essential information regarding our stay here, and I have a question regarding the belongings I've arrived with.

Say that you arrived with a possession of yours that was truly precious. Such that you fear what you might do for the sake of keeping it undamaged.

Such that its loss would be enough to make you die of despair.

[She's not going to let on how literal that is. Sure, the exact science of lichdom might not be common knowledge, but she's not taking her chances.]

I have no desire to leave it in the care of another, and would prefer to relegate such a thing to a last resort. And I find the thought of sticking it in a safe to be rather...pedestrian.

Again, I'd only resort to such a thing if I really had to.

So I ask you:

What outlandish extents would you go to in order to ensure the safety of such a treasure?

I'd start by not telling anyone such an easure-tray exists.

[necroyalty]

I am nothing if not a damned fool.

Does it have any monetary value? That is, can it be sold for a substantial amount of chroma or is it useless to most people?

For my son, who traveled here with me, I would kill.

[necroyalty]

As would I for either of my daughters, but I was speaking more in terms of a physical object than a person.

I cannot say. I have nothing on my person that matters to me that greatly. (Except for maybe the ashes, but she wouldn't fight someone over them.)

I only wish we could all consider ourselves so lucky.

[necroyalty]

I'm afraid that the value is mostly personal. I wouldn't dream of parting with it.

Put it in a secret place and tell nobody. No need to get "outlandish."

[necroyalty]

Simple enough, but what I fear most is those who would hunt it relentlessly if they knew what I was.

My magic has lost its potency here.

[skinsuits]

Then going out of your way to hide it somewhere will only draw more attention to it. Just keep it with you wherever you go.

[necroyalty]

And if that should prove even more unwise?

[skinsuits]

Not sure how keeping something that no one would deem worth stealing on you would be unwise, but if that doesn't work just put it anywhere. If it's worthless, no one will take it.

[godcards]

That's why it is a secret! Then nobody would know where it is. If you're afraid of enemies snooping around... Well, I wouldn't advertise anything you don't want people knowing about. You're going to make even the most idle minds curious and draw more attention to yourself.

[necroyalty]

Very well.

But, a question.

[godcards]

I'm listening.

Lucky?

I'm not lucky.

Hide it deep beneath the ocean, and keep it there.

[slyguy]

Since that ship has sailed, I'm a fan of keeping important things up your sleeves.

hmmm
probably keep it with me all the time?
i mean, who else am i gonna trust to keep it safe but me

[necroyalty]

and if it becomes lost or damaged as a result of being carried so ffrequently?

text;

[reflectory]

I'd lock it away at the bottom of the sea. Preferably in the spirit world.

[jailbirds]

be... more careful about it.......???
idk put it in something that's hard on the outside & cushioned inside
and then..... just don't fucking lose it

every other option sucks, right??
can't give it to someone else
you don't wanna put it in a safe
even if you hide it that doesn't mean someone else won't find it eventually
so if you've got it with you, at least you can protect it yourself

[necroyalty]

[She doesn't want to tell this person the obvious "okay but if my body is killed then my phylactery is just RIGHT THERE bit, so".]

No, I believe you've made your point

[necroyalty]

Spirit world sounds tempting, to be quite honest.
