She snuggles in with Gem and watches and listens.

It's very epic. Lúthien's alt is in it, although not very much. Loki has told this story several times and it's smoothed out a bit.

It is very epic! She cries over the orcs and the ending is so satisfying!

"I will want to take your orcs on a field trip to give them free will, incidentally, and teach some of them the healing spell so they can fix their pain thing."

"Oh - oh yeah, definitely, uh, is it hard to take a whole population of orcs that many hops?"

"Don't have a cargo limit. Do have to find a clear space in each intervening world that's safe to land them on but they only have to be there for an instant."

"And I can search something that meets the criteria out with my teleport -"

"That'd help! Especially since the world between here and Stork seems to be an infinite flat plane, so Cam can't just make something in space, they don't have any space."

"The demons world, you mean? We're trying to figure out how to fix it since we can't just wish it clear."

"Yeah, I can't Tesseract it either. We'll need to know more about how much of a problem it is - there's a really wide range in 'bad enough to trouble low-tech humans'."

"Yeah, we'll probably go on a fact-finding mission once we have a more comprehensive understanding of what solutions we can bring to arbitrary worlds."

"So your magic's the sorcery, Cam's magic is the making things, Ardas all have the same magic, Golden's a vampire, Kib servantmakes - that leaves one more world -"

"Hex! It's between Stork and Space Arda. They've got spellbinding - everybody born there gets an animal imaginary friend that is not in fact imaginary. People can render their spirit animals into solid form and this gives them the power to learn spells - the crafting step is actually a little like mine, but less granular, and you have to hold the whole thing in working memory. They get six spells a day, or one if it's big and uses up all six slots; and they're now working on applications of spell pooling because they have a working memory hack."

"Cool."

"Very cool."

"We've all got biographies and resource summaries in the files Cam'll put on your computers. My story's just best with all the cinematic illusions."

"Gem, have you checked if they register as having potential now that they're in our dimension..."

"Oh good question - yep Loki registers."

"Cool! So you can all make wishes, and we should definitely check if space forks count separately for wish purposes..."

"When we have suitable wishes in mind; definitely don't want to frivolously use them on experiments where we don't particularly want the result."

"Yeah, write up a project outline and drop it in your mailbox."

"Yeah. But we can tell people to start considering them. And unlike the fluffs we can have a list of things you can do with wishes..."

"If I only get one ever it'll have to be good."

"And you'll have to decide if you want to be a magic rock instead of whatever you are."

"I am a thoroughly disguised, midget frost giant. Needing to have a rock on me at all times might be inconvenient, needing a mind-altering song to recharge would be worse, the powers might make up for it... dunno."
