"Yeah, especially if you can kill Melkors that way, may have more advantages to confer on found worlds than Edda-adjacency does."

"Wishes only go through if the person who wants it really really wants it. Maedhros might have been the only person on our world who wanted the Enemy dead badly enough. But yes, in principle you can kill Melkors this way."

"So far there aren't any Ardas that don't have a him. And Loki's been looking for a way for her one to kill an Enemy for a while now - she could in principle share her shiny object but the shiny object kills people it doesn't like if they touch it and it's in a bad mood and won't say whether it likes people, so - anyway, you could import an alt to make the wish if there wasn't a native."

"When did each of your Ardas get their extradimensional visitor-"

"Loki landed on the Nolofinwëan host while they were crossing the Ice. Cam landed on Space Arda shortly post-Alqualondë. I appeared fifty Years and change before the Darkening normally happens, but seem to have spooked Melkor or something in so doing. Elspeth landed in this one in 355."

"And aside from the space one being higher-tech, that's the point of divergence, the worlds are the same before someone interferes?"

"Mostly."

"I am mostly trying to figure out if I can start my story, once everyone arrives, with 'so Loki did not land on us while we crossed the Ice and from there...' or if I need to start sooner."

"That'll probably do the trick just fine."

Then they can make small talk about Kib's husband and little Valinor's architecture and the weather while they wait for the magical backup to arrive. 

They land outside. Kib?

Hey, come in. Gem and Joy and New Findekáno are here. Suspect nonevil. Haven't told them we're involved or Evil Arda details.

Suspect nonevil on what grounds? 

They come in. "Hi!" he says to Gem and Joy and New Findekáno. "I go by Island because there are now six of me and it would otherwise have gotten confusing."

"Pterodactyl, for the same reason - there's actually even more than six, the space ones fork -"

"I am really looking forward to finding another space Arda and getting to tell them that they're resurrectable at will and can fork, but also I don't think I want to know how bad things would have gotten in space Arda without Cam."

Grounds that the you went through Angband, not picking up any weirdness or unpleasantness from the Bell and she's on decent albeit not close terms with the both of them, and I left it up to New Findekáno's discretion whether he wanted to invite New You over too and suspect in a similar-evil situation the you would've wanted to check things out himself; feel free to second-guess me. "I did mention both your nicknames," he says aloud.

"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm apparently Gem and this is Joy."

"But there's inconveniently no way to tell us apart, so we'll have to introduce ourselves no matter how generously you did it. Hi, Gem! Hi, Joy!" Yeah, I can't imagine the evil one not coming over - though I have no idea what an evil me who went through Angband comes out as - 

"You're married. Or is that not a distinguishing feature either."

"Maedhros and Fingon who will have to pick new names are married, but they have free will, you can't see it. The space Elves are not, the human alts are not."

"And Question Mark Planet -"

"Question Mark Planet?"

"The one Kib doesn't have a name for."

"We aren't married there, no."

Charp lets Cam in. "Hey new Bell. Earthlings!" He holds up a hand for a high-five.
