[UA] Last Minute Details

[Evan Loehle]

Because automatons are magickal, it doesn't have to be a huge amount, 
actually. Time-wise, at least. If whatever's winding them up goes real fast 
(like the spinning handle), a few hours would be enough to build up a lot of 
energy. The growing and hair and all that would probably require more 
energy, but not necessarily all THAT much more.
I really like the bedsheet vibrator thing. Particularly if it was somehow 
really suped up, possibly by the mechanomancer's mundane mechanical skills. 
Who knows?
I do kinda like the idea of the girl sleepwalking mysteriously and the other 
folk trailing her, maybe getting lost in that Study Hall before emerging in 
the weird furnace room. Hell, maybe she just sucks in steam, letting it 
condense real tight, slowly letting it off during the day to power herself. 
It would also explain why she sweats, but the sweat is never salty.
People wandering around in trances at night to do mysterious, ineffable 
tasks is always fun.
