And it won't impress Fëanor but it's very practically useful, I could get you an Allspeak installation.

What's that?

Permalink

My translation magic.

Permalink

Sounds useful!

Permalink

It is! It can glitch, though - Funny story about Midgard and mixed up genders.

Permalink

That's hilarious.

This is the segue I used to get Dwarves to explain their lack of gender to me. They had previously not been clear on other species' presence of gender.

Permalink

To the best of my knowledge my species does gender in a perfectly conventional manner, so I have nothing for you to segue into.

I have no reason to believe otherwise! Loki assures her.

Permalink

So how's the translation work, from the user's perspective?

Permalink

And Loki grabs her an Allspeak manual and reads it to her because it's in dozens of languages.

Permalink

She notices when she gets to the bit about dyslexia. "Um."

Permalink

"- oh, yeah, I can do an install on your Tyelcormo too, mine likes it."

Permalink

"It bothers me that it's dinging his self-esteem because he's awesome and there's nothing wrong with being dyslexic but I'm not going to be an asshole over making a stand or anything like that, that sounds like a great idea."

Permalink

"I did ask if it was going to be weird for him but he didn't seem to think it was a concern."

Permalink

"Then let's do that."

Permalink

So Loki gets an Allspeak installer wand.

Permalink

And back through Milliways.

Permalink

"I assume once Milliways is no longer stopping time in whichever world we're not in I'll be able to teleport between them at will but I don't want to give up Milliways itself and the Tesseract thinks it's not a real location."

Permalink

"That's annoying, we should figure out a fix with all of the extreme amounts of magic that we have."

Permalink

"I'm listening," says Loki. "But in the meanwhile the door holder seems like a reliable sort. Should we interrupt Tyelcormo right now, what was he doing when you dropped free will on everybody?"

Permalink

"I'm not sure, I didn't really ask. I'm going to have to apologize for that."

Permalink

"Well, we can knock."

They are wherever they would need to knock to find Tyelcormo.

Odette knocks.
