"Nope. It lets us create planet-sized blocks of servers torturing animals but I think Cam was aware of that, and it lets us influence politics towards destructive ends but I think he was aware of that, too."

Can you think of anything to spend the last question on besides 'did you know I gave my batch of Elves free will'?

Permalink

Such a good last question, but if he can bioengineer terrifying plagues maybe he's got a contagious cure for mortality or something...

Permalink

Well, I suppose we don't technically care if he answers the free will question honestly.

"What other facts can you tell us that you sincerely expect we would most want to know?"

"The universe I have in mind to teleport to won't let your magic work and is full of things nastier than me. That's three, Maitimo darling."

Permalink

"Your counterpart was better at intel. Loki gave us all free will, Thauron darling."

Permalink

"Last words?" Loki inquires.

Permalink

"In seven hundred thousand years," he says to Maitimo, "you'll have spent more time free than my slave."

Permalink

And Loki kills him and props things up in Angband so they don't explode.

Permalink

"Not one of those things that one really gets tired of, is it."

Permalink

"It is not. Although I hope for everyone's sake they turn out to be rare beasts."

Permalink

"Yep. I might hop planetside and actually meet my counterparts here, Findekano yelling at them for thirty seconds didn't count. Cam, where am I going?"

Permalink

Cam osanwës him locations.

Permalink

"Thank you. Pleasure meeting you and murdering your enemies."

Permalink

"Good to meet you too."

Permalink

Pop! 

 

Oh, the space Elves have a nice city. He likes it immediately.

Permalink

"Thank you," Cam tells Loki.

"Honestly I think I got more out of that than you did, you've had fairly cursory exposure to the extent to which he needed killing."

"You're welcome?"

She laughs. "So is it just me or do all the Elves really, really need nicknames - we don't have such name collisions yet but if we did we'd have nicknames hour one -"

"I even have one to hand, it's Revelation - I'm thinking of naming my native world that."

"I like it. Ever since Aulë called my world the world of many stories I've been thinking 'Edda' - it's the collection of stories I told on Midgard as collected by Midgardian poets."

"Nice."

"...Space Arda and Flat Arda need names. Flat Arda isn't even flat anymore."

"Yeah..."

The Noldor have a linguistics guild that is happy to get on this! It'll take them several years, though.

Permalink

This is the same problem Cam had when he named his refugee planet! But 'Atriama' is taken now, so he will let them get on that without preempting the debate.

Permalink

And after a month Cam will get a letter requesting pickup from a lovely beach house somewhere on Edda.

Permalink

Cam has learned to teleport now! He turns up in person. "Hey."

Permalink

"Hey! Would our counterparts have found 'a forest, no food' to be a totally reasonable environment in which to spend a month or were they messing with us?"

Permalink

"...I don't know? I was assuming if you did not find the place habitable you'd write me a note..."

Permalink

"A month's not that long, just on the far end of 'annoying', but I'm curious what they were thinking."
