Someone else who got snaked is here!
...so presumably at least one of these kissing men is a past snake victim!
Oh my god Lúthien put us outside this building please.
"If it actually comes up I can certainly kidnap them all and impose free will over it but as long as it isn't causing problems..."
"They do, so I would have to be mildly creative about it."
"I don't think anybody wants a war over any Silmarils.
I would preferentially go for the 'give them the damned rocks' war-ending option, though, kidnapping them is not preferable."
"When we recognized them we went off and asked Fingon what kind of things were oath-activating and he said Curufin had a knife for getting them off the crown and we gave them back their jewelry."
"Sensible. It isn't really fair to call them jewelry, honestly, they do stuff."
"They didn't mention that. Is it in the summary files, Bella only recently taught me to read and I'm pretty slow at it..."
"Yeah, it is - is your Allspeak install not handling that -?"
"It means I can read any language, I'm still new at reading if that makes any sense..."
"Makes sense. Well, Silmarils do things, your Arda will have the kind that does the widest variety of things in fact."
"And regular and evil are both subsets of 'flat' - including the one that I sphered because it was annoying me - but yes, those are the kinds."
"You made a planet round because it was annoying you? The evil one, or one of the others?"
"Elentári, my one. They're not even supposed to be flat! The flatness is an emblem of the incompetence of Valar! I could also round Evil Arda but I'm pretty much just not touching Evil Arda. Shine and yours are out of range."
"Yeah, I know, Mom told me. Or not that they're not supposed to be flat but that they had to magic them to keep them that way."
"There's an Arda where the Ainur are worse at their jobs than normal and it led to what we are pretty sure were just cultural effects that caused virtually everyone in it to be evil."
"War went interestingly, though, my alt Golden's daughter Elspeth showed up and literally managed to talk the Enemy into a ceasefire."
"Elspeth's from a world where some people have individual idiosyncratic personality-based powers. Hers is telling the truth and generalizes into very sincere broad-spectrum communication magic. And she presented a convincing argument that the Enemy needed extradimensional intervention to accomplish some of his goals and being conspicuously evil was a way to discourage extradimensional intervention from coming down in his favor."
"No, he walked up to Doriath and she was there and the Silmarils were doing the things that Silmarils do but it wasn't quite cutting it and she said this to him and he swore a ceasefire with the relevant parties and then turned around and left."
