"Is it likely that Fëanáro and the pharaoh should not meet or has he also heard being called dumb before and everyone weathered the experience?"

"They should probably meet privately so there aren't people around to be shocked and offended. The pharaoh himself I think will tolerate it."

"A reasonable precaution."

"We are making progress. On slavery, I mean. We've changed a lot of the rules so it's less likely to hurt people."

"I guess that's better than not doing that."

"There's worse emergencies but I realize that isn't saying much."

"What are the worse emergencies?"

"Demons and stuff like that. I'm not sure they're substantially tractable emergencies at this time but they are worse."

"What are you guys doing about demons?" 

"Well, we study how to make sure as many people as possible get a nice afterlife."

"I am told they do statistics."

"We do! My father started the program and the pharaoh expanded it. We track annual rates of going to different afterlives and try to learn more about peoples' life history if their afterlife was surprising. And also the results get incorporated into sermons and so on and that seems to be having some effect on behavior."

"The afterlife they're aiming for sounds okay. And allows tourism so it is probably actually okay."

"How many afterlives are there?"

"There are nine that the overwhelming majority of people from this plane go to."

"It seems way more organized than my world's whole deal."

"How does it work in your world?"

"Well, I'm not aware of anyone taking statistics, but there are I think more than nine possibilities including obscure demiplane type options, people talk as if it has to do more with which god you're devoted to than alignment, and if you don't have one it depends a lot on the circumstances of your death, and it's not like how you behave in life has no influence on the situation but you can't actually just go 'okay, I guess I'll aim for this one over here that seems decent by paying all my taxes' and expect that to... work."

"Huh. I guess that fits  with your universe being more hostile to trying to ....systematically benefit from the way it works."

"Yes, exactly. I had a lot of learned helplessness about it and now I just wish to be immortal or at least resleeveable like they are." She nods at the Quendi.

"That'd be nice." Sigh. 

"If my anti-aging thing from the Valar is still stuck on and I manage to stay out of intractable trouble I have a while."

"Are all the afterlives nice?"

"Nah, the evil ones are awful and the good ones are mostly okay and the neutral ones kind of suck except for the lawful neutral one, which is related to why Osirion is a lawful neutral country."

"Can you make them better?"
