These people have clearly never been around the reawakened dead in their lives. They are painfully overwhelming. Everything is painfully overwhelming. He'd forgotten that existence hurt this much, or maybe it didn't the first time. He ignores them.

"Is this a normal side effect of the spell?"

"No."

<Are you okay?>

Are any of you possessed with the slighest powers of inference.

<...well, it kind of looks like you aren't all right. But we don't know what's wrong. I guess maybe I should have asked what's wrong instead.>

Supposed to have a couple miles with no one around for the first month and then visitors one at a time. I think. Don't quite remember.

Eskillimi relays this.

"We don't have miles but I guess we could put him out by the roses." She gets her wand and wafts him rosesward.

He seems vaguely bewildered by this but only vaguely.

"Resurrected people are a mess sometimes if they were in Hell but this seems different."

Miranda asks a house elf to look in on him occasionally and comes back.

"I don't know anything about what it's usually like when a braids gets put back, they say it only happens in Valinor and then that one's never seen again."

"They get resurrected sometimes but can't return to the world they were from?"

"Continent, but yes."

"What happens if they try?"

"Don't know. We don't get news from Valinor, you understand, and a random braids you meet won't usually claim to have been there before, and we don't meet too many in the first place."

"What're they like?"

"Tall, pretty, don't die of old age, sing constantly, a bit full of themselves, occasionally commit horrific mass slaughter but you can't hold that against every individual one I suppose, need a lot of handholding to negotiate a contract and keep suggesting that they could instead of having a penalty clause just bindingly give their word and be thereafter ever unable to stray from their stated course which is pretty yikes..."

" - that is very yikes. They can...do that? And want to?"

"They can, they do - I don't know how often they do it under normal circumstances, I meet them when they want a thousand matching place settings and I tell them half up front and they tell me 'oh but I could just promise really hard' but probably if you weren't negotiating for huge product orders with them it wouldn't come up."

Snort. "Well. Maybe he will be disappointing but I like all the mes so far."

"I like mine too. We're gonna form the loveliest oligopoly. ...is it technically an oligopoly if we're all selling different things?"

"Only if we're benefitting from not having to silo everything but I bet we will. Merge the accounting and put whoever's best in charge of all the interworld logistics..."

"Nah, nah, if we do it that way you've got to have too many layers, I don't like having too many layers."
