Not sure what, though. 

 

Cam should check if all of Warp is duplicated or if this one's just Amenta the way Revelation just has an Earth, that also changes the calculus.

Iobel writes him a note.

"Do you need food or anything, Avalor?"

"I should probably eat food," she says. "I don't know exactly how long it has been since lunch."

Their room has snacks. He shares snacks around. "Cam'll be here in a bit. - he can make food magically."

Permalink

"How?"

Permalink

"His world is full of indestructible people who can make arbitrary material objects. It's really useful."

Permalink

"...wow."

"One of the things we were discussing while you read was how to handle the Oahk Empire. Winning a war won't be the hard part there,  it's what to do afterwards with the places that can't just be independent like Voa."

"Why can't they?"

Permalink

"In our world they did a bad job of it and were horrible dangerous unstable places to live."

Permalink

"Oh. Were they like that before the Empire conquered them?"

Permalink

"I think less so. The problem is the permissions system and they weren't doing strict population controls before the Empire conquered them."

Permalink

"Our way is better."

Permalink

"It definitely has its advantages. I find it very tempting to make Calado do two-per."

Permalink

"People are happy when they don't have to worry about it."

Permalink

"Yeah. And they can marry for love more and they have kids younger and have more of a safety net. And most of the justification for auctions was technologies and now we have better ways to get those."

Permalink

"Because of magic?"

Permalink

"And because of Milliways. Milliways has all works that have been published anywhere on any world."

Permalink

"Are there a lot?"

Permalink

"So, so many. We can't visit them unless someone from there walks in, but we can look at their published works."

Permalink

"Wow."

Nod. "We can access worlds only if a person from that world opens the door to them. That means that you're the only person who can access yours, and it means that we lose yours if anything happens to you. Milliways also has rules against violence in the main bar area, so anyone who insists you open the door for them can't enforce that."
