"Hello, world.
"I have, in fact, been issued a subpoena to testify in person, for Francesca's case.
"My lawyer has proposed an option that's supposed to allow me to continue my trip, without financial loss. I made a backup of my mindstate immediately before I launched, after just about every interaction I've had with Francesca; and she's proposing to have that backup activated and do the statement, testimony thing. And to avoid having two copies of my mindstate active at once, she proposes that I turn myself off whenever that version of myself is running, and vice versa.
"I am not particularly opposed to branching myself off; I'm comfortable thinking of it in terms of each version of me simply having a case of amnesia about what happens to the other branch. But there are still several aspects of the whole exercise which concern me. For one, if I get the timing of turning myself on and off wrong, then at least one copy of me would suddenly be an illegal fork, and would also face charges and legally-mandated deactivation. And that's without getting issues of light-speed simultaneity, how much trust I'm willing to put in any particular people involved, or the merits of the case in the first place. My lawyer is currently earning her retainer by representing my interests, such as filing motions that in the spirit of promoting justice and allowing for the best possible testimony, I be granted immunity for minor complications that might crop up. And many other things that she's asked me not to talk about in public until they're ruled on.
"... That's about all, for now. Until next time."

Vendor of Spirits
A warlock once made a pact with the Powers Above. He snuck in a clause that resurrected him whenever he died, with all his memories intact. He lived for thousands of years in a hundred different bodies, changing the world into a dystopian regime where he could freely pursue his passions: alcohol, television and ducks. This made the Powers Above very angry, so they erased his memories and reincarnated him as a simple barmaid in a sleepy village where she could do no harm. I don’t know any of this, of course. I just find it very annoying that she’s chosen me to tag along with.
