"We'd burn down all the trees... Maybe we should ask Bar whether she prefers the trees burned or the entire place heaped with interpolated silicon dust."

"Good idea."

Bar prefers the silicon dust option, please, it will blow away eventually.

Interpolated dust!

Coughing! "I was expecting you to scale down the servers," he remarks.

"I really should have done that, yeah."

"I'm not immediately sure who I'd have summon your fork. There are people around - explaining things to everyone I resurrect - not sure they'd summon an unbound demon on my say-so though -"

"Oh, technically I'm not unbound, just bound lightly enough it might as well be the same thing."

"I'm loose. Kid didn't doodle his way into a binding. Are you envisioning being summoned to New Valinor or just walking out my door?"

"Well, since there's no one here to summon new me..."

"I don't know what the mail protocol between you and Ada and any other demons who may be about is, you could've been planning to come with me yourself and send your fork back there or something - how are you seeing this working?"

"I was planning to go back and send Aoide with you. I figured it probably couldn't be insurmountable to find someone who'd summon her with light enough bindings. Tyelcormo comes to mind, he's my current summoner."

"Tyelcormo's pet Maia hasn't stopped howling since Valinor got holed."

"...Oh."

"Yeah I'm not super popular some places."

"What about Maitimo?"

"He's not convenient to New Valinor but might summon you, yeah."

"Well, that's something."

"I can try the people he sent me to help get everybody acquainted with being alive again first, one of them might do it, it'll save the lightleaper delay."

"Probably better than nothing even with the delay, but yeah."

"I'd probably send an unmanned drone or something rather than wait ten days. I wasn't planning to stop working until every Valian Elf was walking around again; I'll use this place while I've got it but after that nope."

"Yeah, that's fair."

"Eventually there'll probably be an ex-Dwarf demon or something and we can set up comms that way. For now I think it's all me. ...Might not even be a good idea to have your fork come to New Valinor, there's dead people on Endorë too."

"There is that, yeah," she sighs.

"And I stand by my priority ordering but if there's another pair of metaphorical hands..."
