"Oh. I think yes in some cases but I don't know how."

"I guess that explains it." Sort of.

"Where you're from, lots of people know how to travel between planets? For us that's very hard."

"Did the species that originally put you here... die? Forget?"

"The gods might know. They haven't told us, if so. The great empires died in the Age of Darkness, thousands of years ago, but I don't think they travelled the stars, I feel like we'd have heard about that."

The gods are probably just powerful aliens or something. Who forgot how to build spaceships. That's still weird. "Okay."

"If you know, we would be very eager to learn."

"I've worked on building spaceships but I don't know how to do it from scratch." Also maybe he's not supposed to? But since he doesn't know how he doesn't have to explain that to this nice lady.

"Well, if you know bits and pieces maybe people can work from those. In Hell, if not here."

"In Hell?"

"Uh, our gods have realms they control directly, not in this plane but in other ones, and Hell is a very prosperous and powerful one. Do you know of it on your planets?"

"No, I don't know where any of these planets are."

"Hell is technically a plane not a planet. The difference is that no amount of travel would get you there. We go there when we die, but I don't think people from where you are go there when they die or I'd have heard about that."

"That sounds... imaginary," he tells her, though he's not sure it's really kinder to tell her than to let her go on believing that.

"I am not sure what you mean by that. Planes sound imaginary? Specifically Hell?"

"Planes sound fairly imaginary but mostly going somewhere when you die."

"Do you just not go anywhere when you die? You...all turn into ghosts?"

"Ghosts are also imaginary."

"Then...what happens to your soul when you die. Does it just - immediately get eaten or something."

"...Souls are imaginary."

"...okay, then how does resurrecting people without a body work, and why, if you've cast Trap the Soul on them, is it impossible to resurrect them until you've smashed the gem that you in the conventional parlace 'trapped their soul' in."

"I do not think I am on enough drugs to be convinced that you can resurrect people."

"- right, sorry, I forgot you don't have divine casters - you can actually do it with a Wish too but I don't know that people would've been confident they had a safe wording, if there were no divine magic - you are not on any drugs, I don't think, and I don't see how that'd cause me to be claiming to you that we can resurrect people while you disbelieve me, drugs don't do that."

"Magic is imaginary."

She does some dancing lights.
