"Can you tell them to not do that?"

"Not for something so big. They're not as far as a puppet government, our influence is subtler," explains Doctor Mother. "If a way to verify it does not have anything undesirable like weapons and cameras was devised, however..."

"I can swear to things but that might take some explaining."

"It would, yes."

"What're you going to explain about Behemoth and the new one being definitely gone for good?"

"The first one we'll say happened because someone found the Master controlling Behemoth, and the second we'll say Eidolon fought them and they both died."

"- okay. If Eidolon doesn't mind looking for Warp for weeks on end for me he'd be a perfectly good investment in an eidetic memory necklace."

"That's actually a very good idea."

Bounce. 

"Are you the only one who can make necklaces?"

"Anyone with osanwë can do it and some other kinds of telepathy-ish magic interact well."

She nods. "What are you planning to do now, then?"

" - make more things for the Elves to read, maybe try worlds for another hour in case that gets me anywhere and if it doesn't and you have a list of demon things do the demon things, make a artifact so I can give someone else the teleport and they can do worlds until they find the peal, then maybe make more artifacts or do more demon things or, I don't know, take a break, this has been awfully eventful."

"Should we do anything about your unconscious body in Brazil?"

"It's not my body it's just a body that looks like me. If there's a good way to not have Brazil mad at me I should probably do that."

"...Contessa would probably be able to find a way. We owe you that much, I think."

"Thank you." Bounce bounce.

Contessa speaks up for the first time, in perfect accentless Quenya: "What is the precise goal you wish to achieve? For the government to trust you, or for São Paulo to be put back and lived in?"

"- more the second thing. I guess you can't do things like 'for everyone in Brazil to be safe and happy'."

"Too many powers interfering," she shakes her head. "I'd get a result, but it wouldn't be guaranteed to work. I'm most reliable for short-term plans I can directly act upon to solve and long-term large-scale ones where individual actions get smoothed out."

Nodnod. "Then I want them to let Sao Paulo be inhabited and be on reasonably friendly terms with me so I can do other humanitarian stuff there uncomplicatedly."

"Then what you will do is practice swapping bodies with a basement-dweller you, using your invisibility and illusions, until you can do it perfectly so not even a camera can notice it. They currently suspect you are some form of Master who has a projection power; you'll lie about it and say that when you create basement-dweller versions of people you can have them swap bodies, and you will use your teleportation to trick them into believing you should they question you. Be honest about your motives, and continue interacting normally. I'm hitting a dark spot at this point but it should have cleared up by the time you're reasonably sure they mostly believe you. I'll give you coordinates to teleport notes to, you can write them in ultraviolet and we will be able to communicate that way."

"Your power is cool. Will do."

She gives him the coordinates, and sends him a mental image via osanwë to help.

And he practices swapping with basement-dwellers of himself!
