And Glass squints. "...No formal metacausal clusters apart from the worlds. No phases, exhibited here. Flat Elf ones of you stick hardest to the attractor set but I don't think it's going to chase Epic around the multiverse; attractor set is the same for all of you but it bows out when it's inconvenient without much fuss, it's kind of - leaning on the fate thing, when that's out of the way it doesn't make a nuisance of itself anyway..."

"Oh good. Thank you."

"You're welcome. Any other questions?"

"Do you get a sense of what a template's like, when you do that, or just what rules there are about it..."

"I get the sense of what it's like as a template - how hard it pulls on approximately what things - but not so much what you are like as people," she says. "Well, very little."

Nod. "Cool. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"And Maitimos?" asks one of the adult Fëanors.

"Line 'em up?"

They come and line up.

...he starts laughing. A little bitterly.

"- sorry, sorry. Uh. ...augh. Um. Again the Flat Elves have attractors bitten in harder than the rest of you but it actually is an inevitable/evitable split here, horrible torments may be expected to invariably visit Flat Elves of you, other species of you are merely at distressingly elevated risk. It is a little agnostic about how long and how horrible the torments have to be but them fucking you up is not optional. Sorry."

"So even if we find an Arda even earlier than Kib's - is Midnight doomed to some eventual torture, do you know -"

"I'd have to check him. He might do a cluster thing or something. Was his Fëanáro here or did he not attend?"

Permalink

"We don't invite the evil set to parties."

"I did stop off in Shadow but only long enough to verify that it wouldn't break Jane. Ardas are rather miserable to look at. But I can go see if he'll let me stare at him and make pronouncements."

"He doesn't like Bells much - you could ask his supervisory Findekáno?"

Permalink

"Sure, which one is that?"

Permalink

Gesture.

Glass meanders over there. "Hi."

Permalink

"Hello."

"So, I have a one-off magic power that lets me see the sort of thing that causes templates to be a thing, we call it metacausality. The Maitimos are curious about Midnight's relation to the rest of the template but apparently he doesn't like Bells much and I should ask you before going and staring at him and making pronouncements."

"...yeah. Hmm. You can come by but maybe tomorrow, let me set up the idea first? Did you get the whole story on him?"

Permalink

"Very summarized. Lots to take in, usually we only find one new world at a time, you know."
