"Uh. ...rapists?"

"So have your body double and your apsel go around gluing hats to all their heads that say 'don't leave me alone with women or goats, I have no self control'. There. Chaotic Good."

"I do know that almost all Chelish people go to Hell no matter how they spend their lives."

"I am utterly disinterested in your ultimate fate, Sevar. I am giving advice about your ...general approach to this." 

"I will keep it in mind."

"If you need help sourcing the body double I know some people."

"I will also keep that in mind."

"If you survive, perhaps we can speak again in a few days."

(Cam is wagging and has been since "picking up the spirit".)

She can't say "I'll keep that in mind" a third time, she'll just look like a gibbering idiot. She also can't say nothing at all, that's just looking like a different kind of gibbering idiot. "If I die it'd still be worth your diamond to speak again in a few days, I think," she says.

"You could leave some in my desk drawer," she says, and her mirror goes dark.

"Can she now in fact not hear us? Can she start hearing us again at a moment's notice?"

"She can still hear us. I'll stick it in the Bag of Holding and then when it's closed she can't. - or if you have another solution, you can make a soundproof box in unoccupied air on the shuttle."

"I can make slightly better soundproof material in vacuum, actually."

"Oh. I guess - it's vacuum outside the shuttle? You can make it in vacuum, if you prefer."

He makes it outside the shuttle, pops the door open, collects it, and boxes the mirror.

She takes a moment to convince her heart to stop pounding. "Well. That wasn't exactly what I expected but why have the conversation if it's going to be expected, right."

"To establish common knowledge? Anyway, I like her. Possibly she has a whole walk-in closet full of skeletons and I will eventually have to stop, but, on a provisional basis. But like I said I'm not committed to Chaos! That just happens to be what I ping at the moment given the history of my life, it's not a philosophical stance."

"Asmodeans don't usually go in for necromancy because it stops the soul from reaching Hell - that was idiomatic, wasn't it. Why do you have an idiom for that if you don't have necromancy. I liked her too, I guess. I - I think probably the core of the advice wasn't about chaos, really, but about - getting along with you."

"Oh, the idea is that somebody murders some folks and then, inexplicably, leaves them in the closet. You'd think this would be conspicuous before they were fully skeletonized, really. I am on board with getting along better though I have to say the hats thing sounds like kind of a waste of time and would only be funny once or twice tops."

"I don't even specifically know anyone who should be hatted. I have had a very lovely life and only get indignant about things on behalf of hypothetical Carissas born in other countries." That is not how to frame that if you're trying to get along with someone Good. "And non-hypothetical other people who actually are born in those countries."

"I mean, hypothetical Carissas born in other countries isn't a terrible way to start, builds, like, the foundations of empathy probably, got you as far as women's rights in the general case. What else do all those foreign Carissas need?"

"...an education, Law, spellsilver. They can take care of themselves after that."

"Cool. You wanna pitch me on Law on the way to the moon?"

"- yeah. All right. Sounds good."
