There's a lot that's not mine to share. How do I help you signpost?

If you can collect all the things you want signposted into a single category or some manageable small number and then focus on the category I can follow the concentration.

...okay. 

And a pause. Alright, done. It'll be two categories.

Okay. And signpost and signpost. There. Everything else is fine to check over?

Yep.

Checking checking checking.

You're under several mind-altering oaths. Did you know about those?

Two, right? To hate myself as much as Elspeth does and to deeply searingly regret everything I ever did to harm Findekáno?

...yes, that's all that's active, the others expired.

Others were all time-limited so the Valar'd have less to meddle with, whenever it was approaching time for them to meddle.

They don't look to have done very much. A little around your emotional range... raised your set point, I think?

Huh. Didn't tell me, but I don't think I object - I'd otherwise not be at all functional, under the current set of oaths -

If you prefer to keep it I won't touch it.

Lowering it might make the multiverse crowd happy. Don't suppose you can change it just for when they're around?

I can't put anything in a non-subtle-artist's mind that self-adjusts quite like that, no. Also she wouldn't be allowed to tell anybody what she did and in this circumstance would therefore simply prefer not to do it in the first place, she's not here to make Midnight better at looking pathetic to accumulate sympathy.

I'm perfectly capable of lying to them if I wanted them to think I was paralyzed with misery, you know. I wouldn't ask to be actually paralyzed with misery for that reason.

To my alts, sure, to yours, wouldn't count on it. At any rate I can't do the thing.

Mine would be really easy to deceive on the specific point because they'd like to think under the circumstances they'd be paralyzed with misery. They're practically rendered nonfunctional just by the reminder I exist. Is subtle artistry transmissible?

No.

You want to talk to anyone else here who'd volunteer, or do you want to go meet our Rúmil first?

If you have volunteers lined up I'm happy to see them now.

Not already. Probably in an hour. We have an aversion to mind-altering magic due to how coercively it was deployed back in Valinor.

Then I guess I'll go satisfy my curiosity about how Rúmil here is next, unless there's something else you'd like to talk about now.

Usually yous are curious but perhaps Kib got to asking all the questions that'd interest any of you. There's nothing else I'd particularly like to talk about.

I did read Kib's notes but I think it's also a contributing factor that I don't have a you.

Then I'll see you later once I have volunteers.
