"Twenty five billion. There aren't that many of us in the whole world."

"Don't know how many my world has. Signal says it was a few entire planets."

"Wow.

What sort of things are they working on, did they say?"

"Before they found us they also found another world with another human me who is very busy and a you who is a quadrupedal furry alien in military prison that resembles a park. They have a meeting with the me in her next available scheduling block. They want to resettle the evacuated population of Point's homeworld if there's a better place to put them than a continent on Magic's planet where they are now, find a place for the Amentans to have a ton of kids - Blue and Signal's species really likes babies - revamp the afterlife situation to involve less torture and more resurrection, get everyone to the post-scarcity economy that Tengwa and Concerto's worlds both already enjoy, and turn Spaceship into a different kind of spaceship."

"It sounds like so much fun."

"Yeah. Any joy on getting ahold of my entanglement?"

"Sent a messenger. Won't be back for a couple more sleeps, though."

"How's your grandmother settling in, sooner or later I want to figure out how to square with her..."

"She seems very melancholy. I can pass along whatever you'd like, though."

"Well, you can tell her I don't much care for the standard quick things... I'll look at art if she does any?"

"She can weave you something, she was reportedly very good at that."

"I suppose if it's good enough to count as art I can't wear it around, can I, I was thinking it's about time I made myself a new dress - I guess I can still outsource it and it'll count as a favor but not as art -"

"She could make you a dress that isn't pretty enough to be art, if you want that."

"I would. It's probably not a whole life's worth though."

"That and some nice tapestries for your room, then."

"No rush."

"They do take a while."

"Is there any fun you want to have by proxy with all the interdimensional stuff?"

"At minimum it seems like we could maybe equip ourselves to be allies they couldn't have been expected to have, in case they run into some trouble."

"They want me to do a bunch of gates for them and Signal also wants to know if I might be able to use the names of the evil gods."

"- huh. Do you think you would be?"

"Well, she's worried that they might not be their real names - I can't know till I have them identified more specifically than 'some evil god', though I might not have to actually meet them - and it's possible they're just not the right kind of thing at all, but it seems plausible."

"That'd be pretty impressive. And worth making our existence widely known."

"That doesn't even seem like it'd be necessary, I'm not your sort of thing. I am going to tell her they have to neutralize the knifewing, who had me before I came here, really thoroughly before I go vassalizing any gods."

" - makes sense. Sounds achievable, too, with their abilities."
