Well, not if something resets us. We should look into getting a floating reset.

Yep. Who d'you think would help with that?

Doriath seems an unlikely source or we'd have one in the first place. Noldor might be able to turn somebody up.

Maybe. 

There are still some Noldor who did the things I've heard about, even if we happened to meet some nice ones. Or at least some too-focused-on-the-war-for-misdeeds ones.

Frankly I'm inclined to prioritize 'arrange infrastructure' over 'fight crime'.

Yeah, agreed, I'm just thinking who we give magic powers to. But I suppose if they're likeliest to have someone they're the people to ask.

We could also try to find somebody on Earth, but Earth is probably not going to cope quite this smoothly with the revelation about magic existing and there's not an obvious Give Puella Magi Floating Reset Points charitable organization I can hit up.

I suppose people here cope better because lots of kinds of magic already do exist, and incredibly powerful beings do.

Yeah. Earth'll adjust, it's just having to cope with aliens and magic and another universe all in one go.

Back to Himring?

Yeah, for the floating reset if they have somebody handy for it and I think I want to give them a rundown of what sorts of things they'll want to import in what quantities and what their distributors should expect to get for the stuff, then go to Earth and see if palantiri work between worlds and make sure nothing there is all shot to hell there and then teleporters and another Lórien-or-something for the ex-witches and so on...

You're incredible. Okay. First stop.

Pop! To Himring! Nowhere private!

Logistics ensues. Bella thanks Findekáno again for the eidetic memory, so handy.

Isn't it? I've wanted an artifact for it for centuries, it makes logistics so much simpler. With this import schedule distribution won't be a problem - unless it's going to be a problem politically that we're maintaining such a large standing army in peacetime, but we're bringing them presents, so...

My country maintains a huge standing army in peacetime, she assures him, and everybody trades with us, it shouldn't be a problem.

'Oh, good' doesn't seem like the right sentiment, but all right. 

While we're talking politics. There are a couple resurrections that depending how exactly things transpired could cause a civil war, I want to err on the side of caution with them.

Makes sense. In the long run I want a way to make resurrections more efficient than having to spend a wish on every single one, not sure how to do that yet. So I'm not going to be really trigger-happy on resurrection wishes for the time being.

Great. Before you resurrect anyone who, once alive, would have a strong claim to the kingship of the Noldor, can we discuss it?

Sure. How likely am I to have to field requests for that?

Very likely. Most people you ask in Maedhros' territory will ask for Fëanor back first of anything. 

And this is a civil war waiting to happen?

I am sure there is a way to bring him back that doesn't result in one, but doing it naively will, yeah.

Noted.

Thank you. Good skill.

Thanks.

Logistics ensues more. It is complicated and fiddly and high-stakes and Bella's having the time of her life.
