If you're looking for a fire, darling, let me be the spark

Well, I dreamed of chaos theorist Loki.

She was female and in a manga my cousins lent me.

(Lab coat, check. Glasses ditto, the little round wire-rimmed kind. Long lionfish ribbons of shakudo-bright hair, curling out as if on an updraft. She chain-smoked continually in front of her computer, but no one ever saw her light her cigarettes.)

Why can I not get this title in this universe?

(I also dreamed of Edward Petherbridge, but that sort of thing is much less unusual around here.)

I will draw her, based on your description. And since it was a manga, this should be easy.

Try interuniversal loan?

Yes. Why?

(I dreamed of war. That I was responsible for the strategy of Poland against Germany, or, at least, responsible for rolling the dice that *might* have saved us, if I could only figure out which values were the right ones.)

Obviously, you must be its conduit.

That sounds fantastic. If it gets written, I want to read it!

I feel slightly spammy given the conversation I've taken the liberty of having upstream (at least I'm not posting boys everywhere?), but what's an Edward Petherbridge when it's at home?

Also, you totally need to write this. I know your slate is brimming, but knock her into the queue maybe.

You essentially described a fusion of Asimov's Susan Calvin (the creator of the sentient robots and perhaps his only interesting character) and Lilith, kinswoman to Loki, Prometheus and all the other firebringers.

Excellent. I'd like to read that manga as well.

If this title appears in this universe, I would be delighted to read it too. What a marvelous image.
