"It's possible if they don't draw on the floor much or have summoning things as a concept."

Permalink

"Can you check for circles they've drawn -"

Permalink

"Should be able to." Valid circles drawn by Dwarves?

Permalink

Nope. 

Permalink

"They have not drawn any valid circles."

Permalink

"Well, that's vaguely encouraging for summoning working there, at least."

Permalink

"Yeah."

Permalink

"How fast could we get there by fairy from Valinor -"

Permalink

"Couple years if they don't stop or misnavigate, I think, which will be a tough sell."

Permalink

Nod. "So give us a shove and have rockets for the decel, that's fine, we were planning on that anyway and we don't know a ship big enough for a whole colony - and we don't need supplies for along the way, I guess -"

Permalink

"I mean, you'd want to be real sure I or whoever your supply demon is doesn't get sick of you in case acceleration-based fake grav doesn't permit midflight summoning, but yes."

Permalink

"Yes, please don't come if you haven't decided whether you're going to get sick of us. With the Silmarils we could probably make it anyway, but it would be unpleasant."

Permalink

"I will make sure I like y'all well enough to handle the trip before takeoff."

Permalink

Nod. "Who do we need to design a spaceship - in terms of engineering expertise, not design -"

Permalink

"NASA's become a very exciting place to work, I could probably either give their agenda a shove in a productive direction or point you to people to hire away -"

Permalink

"Are there any downsides to telling humans 'there're aliens, they just didn't have an immediately conjurable kind of magic, we're going to meet 'em -"

Permalink

"They conjure everything and try to bring us up in the Hague or something? I don't want to indefinitely keep Dwarves cut off from people who'll trade with them, they'd feel betrayed, but if we can recruit people without fully informing that's cleaner."

Permalink

"Do war crimes have a statute of limitations?"

Permalink

"They do not. Thus why they keep dragging elderly Nazis out of Argentina and all..."

Permalink

"Inconvenient. There's probably a jurisdiction case to be made but making it would be a problem."

Permalink

"And inconveniently we can't just sit in prison for a couple centuries until everyone's satisfied, because I don't think Mandos would reembody us again."

Permalink

"Cruel and unusual punishment? But I'm not sure how you'd prove it."

Permalink

"Take our word for it, being confined at all will cause us to die of misery! If you can't trust people on trial for war crimes, who can you trust?"

Permalink

"Yeah exactly. What do Elf populations do instead?"

Permalink

"Uh, exile. And the Doom. I think were the only attempts the Valar ever made at law enforcement."
