One could stipulate that he can!

Then that sounds very nice.

Do they have useful statistical sorts of information about the evilness levels of people-in-general?

The Valar miserably tell her that there were dozens of violent crimes in Valinor ever year despite them trying really hard, and they thought it was just incarnate nature or something.

Maitimo's kingdom has a lower violent crime rate than Valinor did.

...this is still actually better than the violent crime rates of some populations of incarnates but it is really worrying for Elves.

(Yes, yes, and the trains run on time.)

The Valar agree! They don't know what's wrong! They bet it's Melkor. Everything's his fault, usually.

The other Ardas had those too.

Well! The Valar would love to fix it but they do not know how.

Elspeth either. They are probably going to mostly quarantine this world until they figure out what's wrong with it. Fëanáro might have to be a special case because leaving him dead forever is mean but he cannot be relied upon to stay put. Is there any way to let people talk directly to him while he is dead?

Not how Mandos works, sadly.

In what way? There's a lot of magic to throw around, maybe some of it could bridge the gap.

Elven spirits without bodies cannot even do osanwe, except with Maiar and Valar, because their osanwe works differently.

Well, Elspeth works differently. The communicative telepath back in Aurum works differently.

Well, they're welcome to come down to this random place that looks like a flat grey space and see if in so doing she can communicate with Fëanáro.

Inconveniently Elspeth will not be able to hear replies; will Mandos inform her if her message is received?

Fëanáro doesn't like Mandos reading his mind and keeps telling him to fuck off, so Mandos won't know either.

Well, it's very nice of Mandos to fuck off when told, at least. Elspeth will go get Dwi.

She goes and gets Dwi and Dwi says, [Testing.]

There's a response in an unfamiliar language. It sounds confused.

When Dwi reports this result to Elspeth (it means "who or what is this?"), Elspeth takes over the sending half of things. Hello. I'm Elspeth. I can only send, not receive, so Dwi who just spoke to you is the only way to confirm if I'm getting through. He doesn't speak Quenya but I do and he can reproduce whatever you say to him.

[What is he speaking? Who are you?]

I don't actually know what language he used, he just needed to say something to establish contact. I'm from a neighboring universe; we have different magic there, personalized powers that only some people get, and mine is "telling the truth" but it's expanded from there.

[What's this about?] He sounds wary and absurdly happy, all at once.

There's a bunch of worlds, and this one is part of a pattern that has recurred several times but it's different from the others; specifically most people seem more antisocial than the other worlds' versions of them. We're thinking of mostly quarantining it, but you'd be hard to quarantine so it's separately important to see if you're antisocial enough to be unsafe.

[Can you get me out of Mandos?]

I can't personally but people who listen to me can.
