Loki parks in Doriath for another six years. She manages to make friends with some of the people who have things to do in accelerated perception. The Men who started as babies are full grown. The spell comes along and she refreshes everyone serving as a sorcery backup on a routine basis. She visits people between stints of work; during same she does things that she doesn't have to move around much to do. Writes a memoir. Screws around with decorative illusions. Sleeps, when absolutely necessary.
She's asleep when the quake hits. But not for very long.

"I'm working on Mandos. Got you first, may have to wait a little for him to mull over everybody else. Found you a planet. D'you like it?"
"We can - have kids, and not hurt, and not bother anyone -"

"Yeah. But if you were hoping for a planet with rings or two suns I can find you one."
"Um. I was kind of hoping that Sauron would go away and I would be alive and not hurting. Didn't think of rings or suns."

"Oh, I killed Sauron. Years ago. With my bare fucking hands."
"I shouldn't be glad. But I think I kind of am."
"The orc-babies? The ones I wasn't allowed to see because the Enemy might be spying though my eyes?"

"Grown up now -" And she does illusions, all the babies, the colony and the adoptees, all the stages of growth she saw.
"Okay.
Everything's okay.
Thank you."
Everything's okay.
Thank you."
"Mandos was okay. For an Elf-god. He told me what he could do and then I could watch the strands of fate unravel and I did that."
"I'm sorry I went with the fake. I should have known better."

"I wasn't expecting to be impersonated either. I don't blame you."
At this point Mandos informs her that there are several thousand orcs who can definitely be reembodied unproblematically.

I can move them as fast as you can reembody them. "Mandos is coughing up some more orcs now."
And one at a time, they awaken very briefly in Valinor.

And now they're here.
She brings in the colony orcs too - and "goes" to where the adopted ones who didn't move are, too, stay with your families or go to the orc planet? -

Most of them want to stay.

That is fine by her.
(She scouts out some more nice planets in case she needs more planets to put people on.)
"What about other dead people?" she inquires of Mandos.

"There are not nearly as many. Men don't come to the Halls of Mandos, or pass through here only briefly. Their final fate is unknown to us. The Elves who remain in the Halls are entirely those who died in the course of committing murder or crossing the Ice."
"Murder is a crime."
