"Do the dead on this plane die forever?"

"As far as I know."

"We'll probably figure out a way to fix it eventually."

"Fëanáro," Rúmil says.

"Resurrection's divine magic but healing was easy and wasn't supposed to be; the real sticking point is if they don't have an afterlife, I'm not sure what resurrection would act like then."

Permalink

"- very careful time travel, I suppose."

"I'd feel safer on a plane with an afterlife," Rúmil says. "We might have wanted to put that in the criteria."

Permalink

"...I'm not sure we should assume that the local afterlife of a plane will reliably catch travelers."

"Oh, hmm, perhaps not. Fëanáro, if you get yourself killed here that might really be it, all right? There might be nothing we can do."

"I mean, he might also snap back to Mandos but that's not good either."

Permalink

"You have to travel to the Halls of Mandos when you die. You don't automatically arrive there."

Permalink

"- oh, I didn't realize. Um, if there is a thing that can do traveling that's better than just nothing for purposes of figuring out resurrection... but yeah be really careful, Fëanáro."

"I don't want to die," he says. "We have two Bellas now, I think that's enough to keep me safe."

Permalink

"...What have I just been signed up for?"

"If it looks like he's going to do something that is a bad idea, tell him why it is a bad idea," Bella summarizes.

Permalink

"I grew up in Valinor, you couldn't really do dangerous things there."

Permalink

"It's a very safe place, most definitions of safe."

Permalink

"All the other planes are scarier but Valinor wasn't very good for me. And you have starships. My Bella's world you couldn't have starships even if you knew how to build them."

Permalink

"Why not? If you weren't doing science per se to invent them..."

Permalink

"There's a crystal sphere above the earth and if it cracks monsters pour through."

Permalink

"As a matter of historical consensus fact, not as a matter of I went up and knocked on the thing and monster voices said 'no soliciting', but yes."

Permalink

"I'd have done that," Fëanáro says. "That's probably why there's no version of me in Materia."

Permalink

"Maybe your Materia version would be very, very lucky and be a dragon or a demigod or something and survive to adulthood on that kind of birthright clout."

Permalink

"Or the Emperor's son? Would that do it?"

Permalink

"Not in the right way, that's political power, not epic power - it's a little boost, you hear about a disproportionate number of princes and princesses making it that far, but I don't think it'd cut it for your kinds of hazards."
