"The rest of me would be confused!"

"I have mixed feelings about this idea since I have fourteen perfectly good gods back home and these ones are strangers who haven't impressed my local alt!" says (apparently) "Tengwa".

"Well, maybe yous are not suited to be clerics and we should leave it to the mes."

"I -"

"Not you."

"Already a cleric, evil, evil, holds elected office, needs to go home to the kids, I guess that leaves Cam's and Rirosseth?" says "Point".

"Am I not evil, I was sort of assuming I was evil."

"Same."

" - what exactly did you do -"

"Killed a lot of people who were getting in the way of the Silmarils."

Lean. "You all need to pick nicknames - if nothing else it'll make it a lot easier for me to tell you apart."

"Detect Alignment.  Uh, you're evil -" pointing at Rirosseth - "you're not -" pointing at Cam's, who is labelling himself Number.

"Huh, really? Cam's evil, right?"

"Yeah. The alignment system is not necessarily going to be tracking whatever you personally consider yourself responsible for. And there's a certain sort of - I don't swing around to good or evil whenever I change tax policy in a way that affects millions of people."

"What am I?"

"Me too me too!"

He points at Rubelite - "doesn't register, probably because she's neutral but conceivably because she's not powerful enough to register, most people aren't." He points at Annie - "neutral good."

"Not powerful enough how?"

"Well, normal humans won't register because it's checking some combination of - what direction you're pulling the universe in and how much you're pulling. I suspect, being a spaceship, you are pulling a lot, so probably the universe doesn't just have a lot of data about which way you are pulling because you are pretty new."

"Maybe you can't tell because most of me is not here."

"Also possible. We could tell with Anaander, though, and I assume she didn't do very much evil with this specific body."

"This body has never done anything but adjudicate local disputes on a boring backwater planet. I don't think I adjudicated them very evilly, either."

"There are fewer than twenty five billion of her."

"True. I don't think Pharasma is exactly doing math but maybe she's doing something close enough to math that Anaander is getting sunk on sheer numbers. - which would be completely fair and just," he adds to Anaander.

"I agree that killing twenty-five billion people is twenty-five billion times as bad as killing a person."
