"Yeah! Absolutely. If you're hungry feel free to take some pizza."

"Thank you." He does not take some pizza.

"Okay. Next order of business was going to be getting the alone me's kids, if she wants that. I can still do that, but it'll mean leaving everybody alone in this configuration for half an hour. Does anybody mind being left alone in this configuration for half an hour."

She's looking at Cecelia.

"I think I'll be all right."

"Okay. Alone me, do you want us to bring your kids here? Also do you wanna pick a name that isn't 'alone me'."

I'm - kind of worried that if you keep bringing people here one of them will turn out to be dangerous. Uh. I don't know if I'm doing this right.

Also she's kind of terrified of this person and her decision-making abilities, and the idea that the person is somehow her makes her more worried about it, not less.

That makes sense. Do you want to wait on getting your kids back, then?

" - I think I maybe want to wait a while longer. And, uh - Valentine, I guess, let's go with Valentine."

"Cool. From Ender's Game?"

Permalink

"Yeah."

"Works for me. In that case I guess I'm going to make a bunch of small material objects."

He gestures his brother and his father over to him and they start speaking.

Small objects!

Hmmm. Can she make a fully charged laptop with a DVD player in it, or is that too big or something? She's not sure how to make electricity work, but maybe they can get a few hours of TV or something.

Laptop's too big, apparently.

Permalink

Hmm. Can she do a fully charged iPad with The Princess Bride and The Voyage Home downloaded onto it?

Permalink

She turns it on and checks that the movie works. "If anybody wants to watch a movie, we got one over here. They're neat. Fairies shouldn't watch it, it'll cause debt."

Fe-Anar and Hagan are still speaking quietly with the pharaoh away from everyone else.

Permalink

He is still explaining himself to Matt and holding his Karen.

Permalink

She looks around. Cecelia and Valentine are both watching the pharaoh and trying to pretend they're not.

"Maybe later. Thanks, though."

Permalink

"Sure."

She'll just be over here making objects. Gotta give her spellbook positive feedback.

Eventually the conversation breaks off and the pharaoh heads over to Diamond Queen Elizabeth the Tenth. "I think I'm going to return home. I can't speak to Abadar here - presumably because his dimension is paused - and I don't see a good way to make the security here satisfy my obligations to my people without impeding your operations. Hagan speaks for me, and can fetch me again if he needs to.

There is one thing I wanted to offer to do before I leave."

Permalink

"What's that?"

Permalink

"I have a resurrection prepared today. Is there anyone who you'd like to have here who is dead? This might only work if they are in one of our afterlives, I've never tried it in any other context."
