"...so, I can also give you Allspeak installations, Allspeak's great." Loki brandishes a wand.

"Yes please!" And Gem gets bopped on the head accordingly and starts reading her user manual.

"That sounds amazingly useful!"

"It is! It can glitch funny though -" She tells the story of the gender glitch on Midgard.

"Weird. Are all Ardas like mine, where men mostly fight and inherit and stuff..."

"Yeah, they're all like that. You can visit Asgard sometime for a change of pace if you like, your alt liked it and got along really well with my sister."

"I'm sure we'll visit sometime when we're less busy close to home." She squeezes Gem's hand.

"No rush, Asgardians aren't temperamentally as slow as Elves but they sort of do their best to compensate with a really sluggish culture."

"Mîr's funny because lots of our people are Elves and they're happy to take a few decades setting up homes and things and Bella moves way too fast for that!"

"We haven't come in Elf yet but I suspect if we ever do we'll be a bizarre outlier."

"I can't imagine Bella as an Elf. Maybe a Noldo, they're weird."

"Noldor are definitely the ones Bells gravitate to by default."

"They are very competent. Not the same way Bella's competent, but definitely in some way."

"Fëanáros are sort of competent the way we are, I think."

"We didn't really meet him except briefly when he was trying to convince us to let him wish for omniscience."

"...that does sound like something he'd do."

"Technical impossibility or just an obviously terrible idea?"

"Both! Probably. I don't know the exact tolerances of the wish thing. The fluffs didn't make it, they found it."

"He suggested someone else wish to know what would happen if he wished for omniscience. We told him to wait a while and think on it."

"He seems like the sort of person who'd like to meet all his alts."

"Yeah, you may get visiting Fëanors who want to look in on him."

"He's on Earth, I think. The Noldor were being complicated about politics and we've sort of just not touched that."

"Yeah, to the extent anybody needs to wade into that from outside you can probably leave it to their alts."

"Anyone who doesn't want to live under them can come to Mîr."

"Oh, hey, do you have this place terraformed as much as you want it terraformed or d'you want to put Valian ecology on it, Valian ecologies are nice and I can do most of it over a few days given a map, you'll have to import most of the animals if you want those though."
