Did he say why?

Coming.

He asks, and conveys, you have an alt who Milliways scooped out of Angband and Cam thinks it'll help him to meet the other yous.

On my way.

Zoom zoom. 

The girl Bells arrive and Ambela knocks.

"Hi. Thank you for coming - he's under a truth potion but it should wear off any minute, don't ask him questions until then -"

"People from our Utumno are always rolled back - there were too many forks who'd been in too long -"

"This one was in a Flat Angband. Has a husband of no obvious template from his own world and is also simultaneously dating his Maitimo and Findekáno, who he picked up while still reaccumulating memories from his first life, from which he reincarated, and at the time he didn't remember he was married. He's missing a lot of memories from after that - doesn't know when his Melkor broke parole or why his husband reincarnated or how his Maitimo got captured or anything -" He catches the girls up.

"You willing to hang on for a little while after the potion ends, Kib?"

"You can have a minute."

"Thank you." And he sits back and watches Cam unhappily and waits a few more minutes.

"And - now, should be gone. Kib, do either of them look like Aly -"

Long pause. Headshake.

"You're clear," he tells the Bells.

"I'm not sure I'm as much use -"

"Then hang back till you have input. - Timothy, he doesn't really know you -"

"Do you want me to leave? Or not listen?"

"Leaving's marginally more verifiable in retrospect when he puts his mind in better order -" Cam kisses him and shoos him.

He shoos.

And goes and looks for published works on Angband.

For some reason there are not many firsthand accounts.

Not many isn't, in four hundred million Ardas, zero.

Any that match Kib's up to Kib's point of entry?

Bar finds Kib's Arda to have been standard up until his arrival by her metrics.

So some from those.

Voila.
