"Okay then."

He brainphones Juliet.

[Hey, do you know if Angela made herself be going to be Archangel or if she was already going to be anyway?]
Permalink

[She was a likely candidate but her probability hadn't gone up enough to be announced until she interfered. Why?]

Permalink
[Idle curiosity. Thanks!]

He relays this information word-for-word to Lucas.

"Huh. Kind of between the guesses."

"Yep!" says Ike.

"I have no idea how the spaceship used to pick them, though. I mean, it picked Raphael."

Permalink

"So clearly whatever way it picked them had problems."

Permalink

"Yeah. Most people are pretty happy with Isabella succeeding Linus, though."

Permalink

"Good!"

Permalink

"Yeah, it'd be messy if there were a lot of disagreement about it. She's made some unpopular choices but Bethel's been doing really well with her leading the Eyrie host, so people are optimistic."

Permalink

"Unpopular choices?"

Permalink

"Well, after people realized she didn't make the marriage amendment because the Jansai were paying her, there was some opposition to that."

Permalink

"Oh," says Ike, unhappily.

Permalink

"Yeah. And I'm not very good about following the details of economics, but I don't think all of that was popular either, and she's married to an Edori so people who don't like Edori aren't thrilled with her."

Permalink

"What's an Edori?"

Permalink

"They're this - culture. Most of them live on Ysral, the smaller continent, now, but there are still some on Samaria. They wander around, even more than Jansai do. They pronounce Jovah 'Yovah', I think they have their own language, they don't believe in marriage except apparently the angelico-to-be was fine with it."

Permalink

"Oh. And there are people who don't like them?"

Permalink

"Back when we had slavery they were the ones who were slaves. The Jansai in particular don't get along with them too well."

Permalink

"...I see," says Ike.

Permalink

"Also they look different. Isabella's husband doesn't because the Edori adopted him, but mostly they're kind of distinctive. Darker, by and large."

Permalink

"Is, um, Angela's husband a template of some kind...?"

Permalink

"...I don't know? Maybe? His name is Micaiah."

Permalink

"That might be vaguely familiar. Or not."

Permalink

"He's -" Lucas can't gesture, as he's holding Ike. "Tall, a little taller than me, and he's got curly brown hair about to his shoulders? And they have four kids, all angel daughters."
