"Vaccines, quarantines, contact tracing, and the eradication of the carrier mosquito species with sterile males in the case of malaria."

"Vaccines -" he shakes his head. "I'll get one of my favored to explain it. Thank you."

"Like I said, that one wasn't me."

"You can come help us, if you'd like."

"I told you I want to terraform Limbo. Do you have any comments on the appeal of your afterlives relative to these or the interestingness of your technical concept of evil?"

"Mm. Pranks are generally chaotic, not evil - attacks masquerading as pranks are evil, but it's the intent that matters, not the results. The other example could go a number of ways, with that many caveats, and generally wouldn't be decisive anyway - I think you might be assuming that the system is tilted toward considering people evil if they're ambiguous, and it's really not, ambiguity is neutral and even most good people have a topic or two that they struggle with. I'm not sure how to explain that succinctly, though, if it's going to be a common misconception."

"As to our afterlives - I do think there's something to be said for having a place where everyone is vetted for good. But if people are going to assume that they'll be tortured over the slightest imperfection if I try to make the case for that at all, it does seem obvious that I shouldn't."

"...I'm not sure I'd characterize that as a misconception. Or, uh, 'ambiguity is biased toward evil in terms of who shows up as evil according to magic' could be a misconception, but 'this sorting system doesn't filter effectively for things we care about, a topic on which you lean technically-evil is something you should be "struggling" with' could just not be. It seems like a contingent fact about your universe and how its magic works that it sorts these things and not necessarily a way to access ground truth about morality."

    "Struggling with one's worse impulses is an effect of being good, not a cause. But I'm not sure it's worth discussing this right now - you've made your point about how different the perspectives will be here."

"-Sir?"

   "Yes?"

"If you do decide to work with this world about morality, you might want to consult with the Lady of Peaches? I think she might have a little better approach to this in particular."

   "I'm afraid the title isn't ringing a bell."

"The goddess of pleasure, sir. Her main temple is in Greens."

   "Oh - she would, wouldn't she. I'll keep that in mind."

"Is that what it sounds like? ...to be clear since your translation magic is very opaque it sounds like it's about sex."

"Among other things, yes. It's a fairly unusual perspective for a good god, and she's young, so she's doing more explaining than I've perhaps ever had to."

"And what do you mean 'work with this world about morality'?"

"Nothing very specific, at the moment - it would be a long-term project if anything. I do think you'd find the system useful once you had a sense of it. And it would be a good idea for any of you who want to work with people from our world to understand at least the broad strokes of it."

"Yes, I agree that once we're doing anything in your world the cultural competence will have to go both ways."

"So I'll ask her advice on that. Was there anything else?"

"You still need a way to publish, and a what to publish on the topics of Ganymede and whether more gods are going to show up and create huge messes on their own recognizance."

"I think the latter is inevitable, unfortunately, and if I allot too much of my attention to trying to stop it I'll put my own world at risk."

"...right, but people could use more warning. Like, any warning is better than none - the Safe Summoning Authority had a potentially useful response to the press release - and a decent warning is better still than that."

Pelor nods. "I don't know enough about your world to catch everything that someone powerful enough to bother you about it might object to, but I can warn people as I learn about things, if I have a way of doing that. Raafi, are you planning on staying, would you mind keeping me up to date on things?"

"I, ah -" he looks to Cam for guidance. "I hadn't decided, sir."

"Uh, seems up to you if you stay but you should at least be supplemented by more people."

"Well, adding more people from our world seems unwise, and finding clerics here is thorny - not that it's ever the best idea to call for new clerics for a problem that'll last less than their lifetime. Is there - some existing organization we could work with, maybe?"

"I don't necessarily think you shouldn't add more people from your world! I just think they need more consultancy than a blog comment moderator and some people trying to rack up a few million more views on their news show."

"Do you have any specific suggestions in that realm?"

"There's me, but I'm not especially sociable so I don't have a stable of more all lined up. You could advertise for it, I can try to dig up appropriate publications to put out a call in local to Limbo and Fairyland and Heaven, I'm only up on Hell and the mortal realm."

"I'd appreciate it."

"About Ganymede, you mentioned giving an apology - what exactly did you have in mind there?"

"Uh... okay, is there any prayer of it coming from the fellow himself or will it have to be one or both of you on his behalf?"
