"How do you go from 'doomed to eternal suffering' to 'no mortals'," says Isama.

"Separate declarations."

"Kat's too little to go to Valinor herself, someone would have to bring her."

"There are plenty of Thindarin locals who could maybe be equipped to go to Valinor. I'm not clear what to ask them to ask for - help getting you all home? I suppose we could maybe argue that the lake is attracting interdimensional visitors and eventually one will be a nuisance -"

"And apparently if Mandos were better at his job we could have our other alt back maybe?" says Pink Peka.

" - yes but I have no idea how to get Mandos to be good at his job, people tried for thousands of years."

"Kat asking for her mama back won't do it?" says Grownup Katin.

"My father wanted his mother back pretty badly."

"I'm not a diplomat or anything," says Grownup Katin, "but, uh, Grandpa really isn't."

Fëanors laugh. 

"I mean, it's probably safe to try so long as she doesn't get her hopes up too much."

"Is Kat the only intersection between 'immortal and not an alt of anyone the Valar personally dislike' -"

"No, there are all the Thindar and a couple other orclings. I guess I could ask Círdan if he knows anyone who'd go."

"It sounds faster than waiting around," says Shasali.

"Yelling at the ocean worked before."

"To get permission for ocean-related fuckery - I don't know if Ulmo could do a portal himself - I guess he could also tell us how likely it is that a boat to Valinor would run aground and fail to make it to Valinor -"

"And whether they'd be allowed to leave..."

"Yeah. Okay, I've sent some people to consult with Ulmo."

" - the telepathy I envy you, that would be so convenient."

" - oh do you just have, like, unaided normal attentional capacity - you must be so lonely -"

" - wouldn't be in my top ten complaints - are you just continually talking to dozens of people all the time -"

"Yeah - well, here I'm not -"

"That would be worth being an Elf for."

"Predictable Timothies are predictable. Anyway have you all been telepathing who we all are or should we introduce ourselves?"

"We all know everybody now but you could introduce yourselves for everyone else's benefit!"
