"Their custodian will certainly notice and I have no special insight into what he will think of this development but as far as the magic is concerned you should be fine," says Lazarus. "This world is thankfully not like Thilanushinyel in that way."

"Thilanushinyel? And the Valar are very - slow, their reaction will probably take years to manifest and isn't likely to be immediately dangerous to anyone."

"Thank you. Jane, Amariah's please -" Vanish, reappear. "- All right, on my wish, please -"

And Angela again disappears very briefly into Arda and then reappears. "There, I've got them catacombed in Amariah's afterlife, that won't present the same depth of incompatibility with the possible desire to cease existing as a Downsided world would. Anyone who should be fast-tracked out?"

"I expect all of the Elves who weren't prisoners of the Enemy could be reintegrated nearly effortlessly with the peoples that lost them, they'll mostly have loved ones still living. I don't know the right way to do orcs. The ones who were prisoners of the Enemy - well, I don't know all of what can be done for them. You can give them local teleporting, you can fix the memory tampering, you can fix coerced oaths, people were forced to bear orc children they might want to meet, I don't think anything else is fixable with magic."

"Standard procedure includes living loved ones of the deceased to request them specifically from Jane and then she'll fetch them out; that should do for the first category just fine, and the others, yes, will require a little more detailed attention. I meant more like 'should anyone currently dead be part of this conversation'."

"His daddy Fëanáro maybe!"

Permalink

"I think he'd be delighted to be part of the conversation. Pen contacted him over brainphone, apparently they were fast friends."

Permalink

"He nice."

Permalink

"All right. Anyone else?"

Permalink

"...there are people who'd be annoyed politically if they weren't invited, but no one else likely to think of information you'd need or projects with unusual leverage."

Permalink

"I will weather some political annoyance. Will your father be alarmed if he suddenly appears here?"

Permalink

"No, he'll be delighted. He was in Mandos for four centuries. Um, want to fix the scars so Pen can tolerate looking at me and talk to him if she wants to?"

Permalink

"Sure." Pentagon goes. "Jane?"

Permalink

[Coming right up.]

And here he is.

Permalink

He blinks. "Oh!" he says delightedly in English. "Mommies work fast! Thank you! Is Moringotho stopped doing evil?"

Permalink

 

"Did Pen teach you English?"

Permalink

"Yes. Pen teach me English, Pen promise teach me Samarian, Edori, and Callian, but -" apparently? - "you came fast. Am not sad, you needed."

Permalink

"...anyway, yes, he's been deleted from existence. Would you like to just have those languages wished on...?"

Permalink

"Would I like - I would like learning all languages. This is maybe not a good use of wishes and will not take long."

Permalink

"Milliways is a terrible place to try to learn a language because it has a translation effect. I could only tell that you're speaking English because it's not my native language but I speak it anyway; if you were speaking something I didn't I'd hear Samarian."

Permalink

"Then am inventing non-Milliways-dependent interdimensional travel, probably."

Permalink

"We have some of that, and the effect doesn't persist if you use Milliways to go to another world anyway."

Permalink

"All right. Is not -" priority? -"fast thing anyway, need build this world."

Permalink

"I evacuated Angband, removed the Enemy, enforced a ban on nonconsensual violence, extracted Thauron in particular on request and put him somewhere isolated, and have extracted the dead from the custody of Mandos and am presently storing them unconscious in my alt's afterlife subworld from which they can be retrieved on demand."

Permalink

"Thank you. Am thinking more things like build pretty cities, Elves needing pretty cities, decide King, invent things, join multiverse."
