"We'll have to see! Maybe Telvo'll just get the ability to decide how physically instantiated he is at will, that'd be convenient."

"Sounds it!"

"You wouldn't happen to know how to fly a plane?"

Permalink

"Fraid not."

"Then it's about fourteen hours' drive from here to Canada."

Permalink

"All right, everybody in the car, I guess. Anybody wanna drive or shall I?"

"I don't know how, Moryo's all distracted, and Cáno is legally dead right now so it's all yours."

Permalink

"Condolences," Cam says to the legally deceased, and he gets behind the wheel.

Permalink

"He's also legally dead," Macalaurë points out, getting in the car.

"I imagine you'd have to cycle identities a lot and the dead ones would have more freedom of movement, yes. Are you guys providing the role of car tunes or should I put something on?"

"If you ever want to really annoy him you can put on imperfectly recorded music."

"I asked my father to invent higher-fidelity recordings but he thought immortality was more urgent. - to be clear I'm not just obsessed with music at the expense of human lives, there's a genuine tradeoff, because I could probably do a song for immortality and broadcast it if the technology were good enough -"

"Well, immortality is less urgent than previously expected but Limbo's still a bummer."

Permalink

"And if the thing that happened to you is pretty much unheard of there aren't many people who'd even know what humans do and don't know..."

Permalink

"Eh, demons are obsessive curators, but we're also the ones nobody lets talk."

Permalink

"Seems kind of suboptimal, that, is it a good idea to ask Matthew to change peoples' minds on it -"

Permalink

"I'm hoping it'll fall out of fashion on its own but if he has an angle maybe."

Permalink

"I do not know of an angle that he has but in general asking him for things like that is a fairly reliable way to make them happen."

Permalink

"Anything in his track record I'd have heard of?"

Permalink

"We were not involved in human affairs early enough to claim any credit for ending slavery or anything, no."

Permalink

"Pity, I'd have been real impressed."

Permalink

"And maybe the magic rocks'd get over themselves."
