Sounds perfect. Raika-seren is delighted to be tech support for an entire planet. It keeps him just about sufficiently busy.

Permalink

Sounds good. 

...the peal kidnapped his father, and his father probably wants to come back. Can that be arranged?

Permalink

Yes, Raika-seren can pass the request on to Liran-alore and Liran-alore will make it happen somehow or other.

Permalink

Liran-alore's preferred way to make this happen is by getting those agreements established between the peal and Independence (and Dawn) regarding mutual noninterference and freedom of movement. Also, he can combine this visit with Elaneth-imire's first hey-I-have-resurrection trip into peal territory.

Elaneth-imire has general resurrection!!! Who wants some?

Permalink

How general is general?

Permalink

How general would they like it to be? Now that he has it, it can be branched pretty readily to handle assorted edge cases. He hasn't yet tested resurrecting someone from a world nonadjacent to the world they died in, but besides that, he's confident in his ability to tackle fairly arbitrary challenges.

Can he do spirit animals belonging to dead people? Can he do spirit animals that belong to living people who never bound them - in some way that doesn't endanger the person -

Permalink

Bound spirit animals belonging to dead people come back unproblematically with the person, he's got that one right off. Dead bound spirit animals belonging to living people are also doable if there's any of those around, he's heard that's a problem. Unbound spirit animals... he can feel the power starting to branch, it shouldn't be long, maybe he can do the rounds and come back when he's got something?

Well in the meantime here is where the unmade are institutionalized he is encouraged to cure them all now.

Permalink

Healing aura, a few seconds to identify everyone and another few seconds to reembody their familiars, done.

Permalink

"Thank you."

Permalink

"Happy to help! Anything else, or where do I go next? I'll come straight back here when I've got something for unbound spirit animals."

Permalink

"I'll put together an itinerary."

Permalink

"Great."

Having general resurrection is the best.

If he can do adjacent to the world they died in there is a certain dead Fëanáro -

Permalink

He's happy to try.

—he thinks he's maybe got something, but he's not quite sufficiently adjacent—if he pulled the kid from Materia while standing in Warp, it would be a fork, leaving the original in what is presumably some Materia-adjacent afterlife beyond Warp's direct reach. This seems... unsatisfactory.

"I haven't been able to earwire him from any explored world but that doesn't guarantee that whatever afterlife he's in isn't adjacent to any of them, it could just be an earwire limitation."

Permalink

"If somebody maps me a tour of explored worlds I can go through and see if he's retrievable from any of them, shouldn't take me too long."

Permalink

Map.

"Nothing. Sorry," he says. "But Raika-seren's got his godhood now, so we could potentially gear up to go Melkor-hunting anytime, we'd just need three days' notice to be sure our souls were aimed in the right direction powerset-wise. And after we kill Shadow's Melkor we can pick up the kid on the way back out. It might be prudent to wait and see if we get more and better resources to throw at the problem, but we could do it now."

Permalink

"He's - probably not going anywhere," says Boots. "And his relatives can wait a bit assuming 'a bit' isn't Elf timescale, they have... low, Materia-calibrated expectations."

Permalink

"All right. Let us know if you change your minds, I am always up for killing a Melkor."

"We're concerned that if you go into Materia's cluster and you aren't ready for it, Materia will increase how powerful you'd have to be to be ready for it next time."
