"No one thought that would ever come up when they signed the damn Accords."

"Well, maybe they should have thought of that before trying to get one over on the time-traveling immortals."

"- if there's a treaty under which you're entitled to interview me of course you should be allowed to interview me. Uh, by your own people, I'm not a signatory, but I don't object."

Permalink

"I'm Dr. Aarons, one of the Great Race of Yith," Dr. Aarons says, as if expecting Blai to know exactly what this means.

Permalink

"I'm afraid I'm not acquainted, but I am not the one with a treaty entitling me to interview you. Thank you for the language, incidentally, I was not in quite the frame of mind for etiquette at the time but it's useful."

Permalink

"You're welcome. It's a useful little spell."

Permalink

"You have magic and don't know the Yith? What planet are you from again?"

Permalink

"Golarion. It's the one with Rovagug the Destroyer sealed inside it."

Permalink

"Oh, right, that one. I liked Aroden when he came to visit, have you met him?"

Permalink

"He's dead. Hundred years ago. It broke prophecy on Golarion among other disasters. I'm a cleric of the Inheritor's, though, Iomedae."

Permalink

"Sorry, I'm not a Golarion expert, I have no idea who that is. --You actually weren't scheduled for a new extraplanetary visitor for this body's expected lifespan. Isn't the unpredictability of history exciting?"

Permalink

"I hate Yithians," he says to no one in particular.

Permalink

He seems perfectly pleasant to Blai! "One of Aroden's saints, who ascended the same way He did. Lawful Good goddess of victory over evil and triage."

Permalink

"Seems like a nice person. --Most information about the Great Race of Yith is secret from those who aren't Yith, but relevantly for you we are the keepers of all historical, anthropological, economic, scientific, magical and artistic knowledge in Pharasma's Creation. We also exist on Golarion, of course, but-- is Geryon active on Golarion?"

Permalink

"Yes - well, Hell in general recently became much less active on Golarion, but about as much as any archdevil."

Permalink

"That'd be why, then, even if magic is known we tend not to make ourselves known on planets with Geryon. Makes things too easy for him, you understand."

Permalink

"I can imagine that being a major constraint for an archival project, yes."

Permalink

"Well, if we can schedule an interview for-- say-- noon to 5pm tomorrow, followup interviews as necessary, I will be greatly obliged and will have no further need to trouble you."

Permalink

"I'm not currently aware of any competing demands on my time, though if the availability of the department that can whitelist my goddess is limited I'd be inclined to schedule around them."

Permalink

"I'm sure they can accommodate."

He departs. 

Permalink

"Yithians."

Permalink

"I really don't mind giving him an interview!"

Permalink

"Oh, yeah, he's just going to want to ask you a lot of extremely specific questions about what kinds of boots you wear and what motivates you to stop learning languages and whether you studied poetry in third grade."

Permalink

"Poetry was not a - I guess you don't care about the answers to any of those questions."

Permalink

"They were not chosen to be the most interesting to me but I generally find talking to someone from a completely different planet interesting."
