I predict this will be a self-indulgent shippy meditation on power and responsibility but it's honestly hard to predict these threads

Sure. Hugs are good.

 

"I guess probably I should think about finding a dad for the baby. Unfortunately I have very little idea how to make progress on it if we're keeping my plane paused and not bringing anyone else here. Apparently Fazil was considering it but I think he doesn't want to think about it if our dead don't go to his gods."

"Do you want to marry him?"

"Dunno. I'd have to get to know him a lot better. I'm kind of concerned about his conception of marriage, but he seems like a thoughtful person and I'd probably still consider it if he were at all interested? But it sounded like if we didn't have the same set of afterlives he probably wasn't. So probably I shouldn't spend too much time thinking about it."

She feels like she should maybe talk to some of the new people, but the new people are part of the reason Rana is gone, and she doesn't really want to think about that very much. So maybe she'll just sit here and talk to her baby about what's happened, even though the baby doesn't understand.

The new people catch each other up on forty thousand years of history. It takes a while. Then he recruits his Karen to try to explain Pathfinder to them.

His Karen is actually super unclear on the specifics of the Pathfinder world! It obviously has a lot of similarities with D&D but it seems to also have some differences. Elizabeth seems to be about as familiar with Pathfinder as she is with D&D and this kind of raises a lot of questions about who is making these games.

She can tell them what she's seen but that probably won't be that much more enlightening than what Alex has seen. (She feels a little sad about this.)

Karen should not ever be sad. It's very important. None of them are familiar with D&D either so they're missing some context that she has.

Aww. Snuggle. She can tell them what she knows about how spells and alignments and classes work in D&D.

"So you have powers from a god now too?"

Permalink

"I have better ones. You can make holy water? I can make holy water, and heal people, and create light and mend objects and make my enemies flee in terror, and diagnose diseases, and surround myself with fog, and give magically compelling commands -"

Permalink

"Does your holy water work against vampires?"

Permalink

"Gimme a vampire and we can check."

Permalink

It would probably not be super good for the other me to bring a vampire here right now.

Permalink

That's a good point. We can check later.

 

"Another point in my god's favor is that she's going to conquer Hell."

Permalink

"And we all wish her the best at it."

Permalink

I think she might be kind of overwhelmed right now.

Permalink

"She's taken on a lot."

Permalink

Yeah. There were a lot of things that needed doing.

Permalink

And she's a you so of course she did them.

Permalink

Gonna try her best, anyway.

"I think my holy symbol's cooler too," he says, showing it to Michael.

"It's pretty, but it doesn't have the story behind it, it doesn't have the history. Maybe in a few thousand years it'll catch up."

It's probably still a good thing to have a Catholic priest here. I bet Cecelia wants one. Maybe even more now that she's sad.
