"Yeah, I guess Joy'll go stand in Eclipse and Ithil and see if there are any more branched off from there?"

"Yeah. And check for more Bells in the neighborhood, we don't all fall on Ardas."

"She might've done it already. Ardas have so far not been neighbors, but Eclipse could have several."

"Would they all have eclipses when their Trees died?"

"...anyone's guess. An Eru might suppress an eclipse if it was just going to be a mass extinction event with no redeeming dramatic opportunities."

"Of course."

"...I sort of expect that, actually. I'd be mildly surprised to find an Arda that was a tragic magic slag heap."

"That'd be less 'variations on a theme', more 'the orchestra saw a spider and panicked during the overture'."

"Not really Eru's style. I bet if Eclipse has neighboring Ardas they are magic-suppressed."

"Do you suppose they're suppressed to the point that my magic won't work there either?"

"Not sure. ...tempted to guess it depends on whether you'd be bursting in at a climactic moment - like, your magic might work there if we found it in the middle of the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, might not if it's 1440 -"

"It is so unreasonably difficult to do science and make predictions when there are omnipotent beings confounding it."

"Yep. Erus are way more permissive about exploits than Materia but - to a point -"

"And they're all spread out, Materia seems localized to one cluster so far."

"What with the more careful hopping we might not have found other Materia-type worlds if there are any."

"They do have the clustering, though, which Ardas never do - I wonder if Erus next to each other move on purpose so they don't feel redundant -"

"If Erus can affect adjacency then we should really talk to some. Offer them so many high fantasy movies in exchange for putting everybody next to Wish and Edda and Eclipse -"

"I think Wish has us beat."

"Wish is great but they're constrained by Gem's time and the unknown parameters of the device."

"Eclipse trades natural disasters for randomly distributed magic with a long lead time. It took a long time for Eclipse itself to work out a consistently constructive handling mechanism. And we don't have resurrection."

"What I really want is your powers to work more-than-locally, I can take or leave the random distribution in general. Somehow I feel like Eru won't help us and this is all academic."

"Probably. I would like my powers to work nonlocally too, I feel very weird without them, at least eidetic memory doesn't need maintenance."

"Everyone who has a necklace may prefer your version so they are less disable-able by stealing their necklace."

"Happy to hand it out, just need to spread it over a few days so that I can eat enough to make up for it."

"Have you checked if Loki's healing spell does anything for you there - wouldn't particularly expect it to, but seems conceivable -"
