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

Sure.

Cool. 

Give me the go-ahead when you're ready, she tells Imrainai.

Permalink

Sure.

She's talking to the Liars. They mostly want to be immortal but some of them are kind of suspicious. They are kind of divided on whether they want to trust bizarre alien birth control but some of them want that, too. Some of them are sleeping, so she waits for people to wake up. Also waits for Fazil and Mahdi to wake up, since Fazil wanted to visit her universe and this isn't really much to do with where she's from but he might be interested anyway.

He is interested! Mahdi is also interested. 

Permalink

Then they can come!

Eventually she gets a final count of everyone who's interested in going and lets Elizabeth know. A few people want to go to Laita with the other Liars instead. Also she should probably move the psyons from where they are now to Laita, if time is going to move again. It's really not good for them to be alone.

Quendi want to send an update to Laita about this first so people bothered by it can leave.

Permalink

Okay, uh, should she send one of the Feanors to Laita and then move everyone from their universe out of her demiplane and then move the psyons? How much notice do the people on Laita need to leave?

Permalink

It would be nice if they could have a day? But if that's not workable they can almost definitely do with an hour.

"Kinda don't want to leave a bunch of blind and deaf kids alone for a day? Do we know where they are, do they have access to food and waste disposal and stuff - "

Permalink

"Can they be somewhere that's paused?"

Permalink

"Oh, yeah, we can do that. We're making sure Golarion doesn't move forward, so it should be a safe place to store people."

Permalink

"That works."

Permalink

So she can move the psyons through her demiplane (far away from everyone else) and then move them to Golarion, and she can give everyone a final heads-up about mass teleportation, and she can move the Liars who want to go to Laita to Laita, and she can move the rest of the people she's moving to Taniquetil?

Annnnnd teleport.

"Okay. I have... no further idea where I'm going."

Permalink

They're on a path up a mountain. "Up to the top. I guess you could just teleport again."

Permalink

"I guess so. I'm not sure I can teleport all of us up without moving people back to the demiplane first. I guess I could go up the rest of the way alone and come back for you guys if it'd help anything?"

Permalink

"All right, then."

And she sort of involuntarily holds her breath and flies up to the top of the mountain.

Permalink

There is a swirling star-shaped mist of person there, apparently arranging dust motes. 

 

ELIZABETH, she says happily. CAN WE HELP YOU?

Permalink

 

Well that's kind of terrifying but not really more terrifying than she expected.

"Yes. Um. I've come to ask if the Valar can help me and some other humans not keep aging until we die. Also if you have a way to keep people from accidentally having babies. And, uh, whether there's anything you know of that I should be working on to help with the evacuation of your Imrainai's people."

Permalink

The stars swirl furiously into a middle-aged human with perfectly normal features though kind of odd lighting.

LET ME SEE WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THAT.

She squints at her.

Permalink

Well she'll just... wait here in the air for a bit?

Permalink

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOU NOT AGE BUT I CAN MAKE IT WORK A MILLION TIMES SLOWER. I HAVE DONE THAT. I DO NOT THINK THE VOLUNTARY CONCEPTION METHODS WE DEVELOPED FOR ORCS WILL WORK NORMALLY FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE A DIFFERENT SPECIES. 

Permalink

"That sounds pretty good. Can you also do the million times slower thing for all of the humans on the mountain except the children? I think it would probably mess up the children."
