There's something very nostalgic about standing in front of a large audience and walking them through scrolls and then expounding on the principles of magic. She has more to say at this point, though, she's dissected more spells into their component pieces and Olórin's been around for a while now to help explore vast combinatorial explosion. The lecture takes a few hours even with most of the content offloaded into "look it up, it's in the files". And then there is food and mingling for anyone who doesn't have to race off immediately to do important multiverse things!

"Yup. I doubt anybody's watching us here and they won't notice if we vanish simultaneously."

"Stopped at thirty, we can go introduce Epic to more of 'em if that seems like a good idea though."

"Thirty seems like enough to start with. Endorë doesn't actually have any orphaned babies, what with that nifty afterlife we've got working, so I stole'em off some place not at the top of Edda's priority list but from where they will in fact have belly buttons. Do you want to help with the pitch and screening, or should I take it from here?"

"No, I walked into the nearest hospital ward with a phaser and said 'hand over your children or you die!' of course they were orphaned."

"Just checking. I don't actually know off the top of my head how I'd find a couple dozen babies nobody wanted anywhere other than Stork on short notice. Anyway, I'm willing to stick around to tell all these demons 'actually Fëanáro's parents are alive and realized they needed to summon him but would you like to be involved in this pilot program!' if you think it'll help."

"You're the expert, but I'm leaning 'don't break the law don't leave the planet'."

"This only suffices if you have a very simple legal code they can in fact memorize. Also, some of the demons were couples and not all of them were straight, is that still a thing."

"It has not exactly been a priority of mine to fix, for some reason, but it's only an Elf thing, they can live with humans or Dwarves or orcs if they'd like. We have a delightfully simple legal code, I'm more worried that it permits something it ought to prohibit because Elves are not very creatively antisocial."

"Dwarves're even simpler - 'cooperate with arbitration of contracts you signed, don't interact with people without their consent and pick one of the following agencies for arbitration of nonconsensual-interaction disputes'. Dwarves are something else. The orcs are revamping it, it'd depend where they set their mind on settling. There are some humans here... I'm expecting they'll want to live somewhere in Ambaróne, if in the less Elfy parts."

"Dwarves are great," opines Cam. "I'll draw up a more thorough binding, though, it's potentially a huge headache to worry about jurisdiction hopping with the 'don't break the law' shortcut alone."
