"Do you need to square away anything here or should we just head out?"

Permalink

"Yes please," Cor tells the teleporter.

Pop pop pop pop pop now they're on another Arda. It looks very nearly identical. "I'll wait here," the teleporter says.

Permalink

"Thanks."

Now where is Other Maitimo.

Permalink

He asks. Other Maitimo is, it happens, in his palace, and also goes by Midnight for peal purposes. 

"I'm from an Arda like yours -"

      "- he'd be delighted to meet you."

Permalink

Cool.

Permalink

" - hello."

Permalink

" - hi. This is Cor, I haven't picked a nickname - I don't know them all -"

Permalink

"I can send you everyone I know. Hi, Cor."

Permalink

"Hi Midnight."

Permalink

"What can I do for you? Aside from the people -"

Permalink

"I appreciate the people."

"I was mostly just curious - it's sort of disconcerting to meet an interdimensional organization which will be happy to find my people a new planet and seems to largely have their shit together but can't, uh, work with you - they do seem interested in not repeating their mistakes -"

"In standard timelines instances of me go to a parley with Melkor and get captured and spend fifty years in Angband. They are remarkably good at covering for it, but they have. A thing. Around -"

Permalink

"...still."

"Oh, I'm not impressed. And instances of me shouldn't be their only source of interpersonal capacity anyway. But that's why."

Permalink

Nod.

I can share the interdimensional teleport. They'd be annoyed if you had it, but it might be worth it at least for emergencies anyway. Let me know.

Permalink

For emergencies my magic system does that.

Permalink

If you already have a version then I wouldn't particularly recommend it. Dealing with them in good faith is valuable - just, so is having a way to leave your own world.

Permalink

Yeah. It takes a while and requires materials but it will get one to other worlds, that's how I got out of mine.

Permalink

I'd sooner not share it around, the magic is eating my home planet.
