"Not without a time delay, no, you can't just grab the version of her who initially died and ignore the lich-queen of Geb." 

"I figured as much but you have to understand that the lich-queen of Geb does kind of complicate the question of cessation of existence." 

The angel winces. "Ah...yes, but...on the other hand, Geb had a fairly intact corpse to work with. Most people who are as dead as that don't leave such a, well, repairable, set of remnants behind."

"I assume I didn't." 

Wince. "You did not." There was any salvageable remains behind, but...even if someone were to try to reconstruct her from that, and had wild, amazing success, there would be...gaps. Substantial ones. But mortals often don't like to see the remains of a predator's lunch even when lunch isn't themself, so if Seshka doesn't ask her to elaborate she's definitely not going to. 

"Can I get..." she mulls this over. "Can I get some people who tried for the Starstone and failed?"

"You could, although that's a substantial pool to draw from and I'd need more details about what you'd want done with them--details that would be easier to arrange after I've explained the scope of the choices you're going to be making." 

"I was more trying to sound the space of potential resurrectees than actually specifically request people but yes, that sounds important." 

"So, there are some basic ground rules that I can't alter," the angel explains. "The title of the fictional narrative is Roses of Villarosa, and you're actually supposed to take on the role of the villainess of the piece." 

"Not...going to lie, I don't love that?"

"It's not a factor designed with your well-being in mind, but it's not that hard to work around--to put it a certain way, while you're assuming the role of the 'villain' of the original narrative, you're the 'protagonist' of the story the Will wants to see play out, with one of your challenges to subvert your narrative role." 

"That sounds...sort of weirdly specific?" 

"Oh, it's an entire sub-genre on some planets." 

"That's weird but okay." 

"Fortunately, 'Roses of Villarosa' is a romance story; your fictional counterpart's 'villainy' doesn't strictly have to exceed the standards of 'romantic rival' although by default it will be a rather nasty romantic rival, at least socially. --To be clear, your fictional counterpart doesn't have to be meaningfully you in any way, although there are options later that would force you to behave more like her."

"Why would I take those options...? I suppose if they made it more likely that I could link up to Pharasma's Creation..." she muses dubiously.

"No, but they have other positive effects; I'll get more into the weeds of those particular specifics later after I've explained more of the basic premise, if that's alright." 

"Sure, go ahead."

"Roses of Villarosa is a story-template with some facts about it set in stone, and some in the form of discrete mechanical choices that you get to choose between, and then the two of us get to put our heads together to fill in the details not covered by mechanical choices. Some but not all of the mechanical choices are places where I'm going to give you advice that's different from the advice I would give you if you were just trying to get the best world you could instead of trying to pass Pharasma's scrutiny." 

"...Could I, possibly, set up one--set of choices, world design--to present to Pharasma, and then a different, conditional one, to deploy if I can't ever go home anyway?"

"Theeeeoretically, yes, but I should warn you that the external relations team is liable to do a worse job if they like your backup plan better than the Pharasma-compatible one." 

"Tch." 

"That's about the size of it, yeah. I'm sorry for being part of an obnoxious bureaucracy." 

"...Do you meaningfully have a choice...?"

"Not...really, no."
