A second ago she was at work in the temple of Erastil in Sothis, which was actually going pretty okay, all things considered. Now she's in a grassy field with a couple fruit trees and a table and chairs and some notebooks and pens.
This is unexpected and requires a ton of power and is therefore sort of inherently terrifying. And she's alone, and defenseless, and she doesn't know where Verita is.
She mills around in steadily increasing amounts of distress until Hagan appears, just as suddenly.
"Because he is the most powerful entity in creation and is going to end up defeating all the others in the end, and because he has a coherent view of the purpose of mortals, instead of claiming to value them and then leaving huge numbers of them to destroy each other."
"I bet I could kill him. Not now, obviously, but like, give me a few years. You think we should be trying to kill Asmodeus?" she asks Connor.
"Pff. Lord of Hell in the setting we used for spell inspiration. Which is apparently a real place? I have some questions for the people who created Pathfinder. Anyway, he tortures people for eternity and stuff, mostly for funsies."
"That sounds important. Yeah, let's. - time's not passing anywhere else while everyone's here, right -"
"Dunno. Could go either way. - I guess this means the responsible thing to do is to get to work. I don't even know how to do it, though, I just kind of assume on principle that I can. Maybe we should ask your dad for advice or something. ....also ask him whether he wants to talk to them with the translation effect off and hear languages that possibly nobody on this plane has ever heard before, if he'd care about that."
"Mine will plausibly have more useful thoughts on killing Asmodeus since he's known about the existence of Hell for longer than I take it five minutes."
"I know he's thought about it. We don't have sixteen year olds with Mass Heal and dimensional theft powers, though. Didn't look as tractable."
"My brother is the pharaoh of Osirion and most of my family advises him."
"I guess we should be able to pull him here? If he's an alternate version of your dad, that should work."
"Cool. Sooo - what order are we doing stuff in, here, we wanna grab your dads first so you can fill them in, and then while they're doing that I can grab the alone me's kids and work on unsticking us from the fairy? Unless there's other super pressing stuff I'm missing."
"Cool! I'll be a competent person yet. Possibly sometime after I destroy Hell. It's gonna take a bit to grab the other you's dad, you wanna stay here or you wanna pop home for an hour?"
