Exquisitely gorgeous. And then we promise to cry over it, maybe. Lemme know if you come up with something.

Trust me, I'll be giving it a lot of thought.

Wish I had better news but honestly this is in range of what I was expecting - except the nearly five hundred million thing -

I guess I had been dodging the thought that there could be infinitely many. That. Is a lot fewer than infinitely many. So that's something.

Maybe next time I'll ask if the story has an ending.

Ooooh. That would. Be something. I - as long as I get to stop eventually -

If there's no sequel, yeah.

I wonder if I could convince them it's more tragic if I get to properly die, when I kill myself.

Well, it's probably safe to have the conversation even without two hops of buffer and the Godslayer moniker if you're inclined.

I think I'll think more about it before I ask, but I might eventually.

Unclear if we can retroactively affect how the other Ardas are run anyway, I do not understand Eru's relation to time and causality as well as I'd like.

Yeah. Ugh.

Seconding that.

Thanks for asking.

You're welcome.

And he considers beautifully tragic ways for a god to die.

And he teleports off to the bottom of the ocean. It is dark. And snug. Perhaps he will discover a new tubeworm species.

Yeah.

"If we can't kill them maybe we can mind-control them? I'm sure there's some way to disable a god who's only locally omnipotent -"

"Dear -"

"Also maybe we should have more children! The Erus don't seem to start trouble until the children grow up, in the standard timeline, so if there were more children around they'd want to delay until the story has more characters. Also one of my alts has eight."

"Dear."

"I'm actually really really curious whether we'd have a Lári alt. For Eru-unrelated reasons."

Sigh. "I suppose that would be interesting."

"Eeeee! Thank you, dear!"
