"That's a way to put it."

"Can swear I didn't leave anything out for - PR reasons, if that would be reassuring."

Permalink

"...I mean, word it really carefully but yeah, that'd save me some corroborating."

Permalink

"We are careful about words, these days. I swear that everything I told you was the truth and that there were no omissions which I think you'd find misleading if you learned of them."

Permalink

"Thank you."

"Melkor's still imprisoned, first thing I checked off Valinor's recent published works."

Permalink

"Good."

Permalink

"Yeah. Maybe they actually learned their lesson on that one. I don't - think he's imprisoned in a way such that learning summoning would enable him to get out but I wouldn't want to count on it."

Permalink

"If he's not in material form I do not think a fairy could move him."

Permalink

"And he probably couldn't draw anything."

Permalink

"The drawings don't have to be physical, light or shadows will do it, but yeah."

Permalink

" - might be light and shadows where they're holding him. Not sure."

Permalink

"Can't really check that."

Headshake. "Might be safer to not tell Valinor but I - want them to know -"

Permalink

"My primary motivation was ending material scarcity, which... they do already have sorted..."

Permalink

"Yeah. It'd just be so they could leave, and - that might just not be worth the risk -"

Permalink

"Maybe sail to Valinor, bounce off immediately and head to Dwarf planet, send probes with instructions on how to send conjurable mail? Then nobody in Valinor needs to know how to summon but we can still talk to them, find out more about the situation there."

" - sounds good. If they let us leave, of course."

Permalink

"What's the actual mechanism by which they prevent leaving?"

Permalink

"Uh, back then it was just that the route was impassable and they told us the ocean was no good either and people mostly believed them. Now they might try harder, I'm not sure."

Permalink

"There's no reason to touch the actual continent. Just get through the windy - thing - and up."

Permalink

"Ulmo'd notice. Don't know that he'd arrest us but it would not escape his attention."

Permalink

"Even if we didn't touch the ocean? Could make a little plane."

Permalink

"That maybe not but if anyone'd notice Manwë would and he'd be less likely to let it pass."

Permalink

"Drat."
