"The problem is more 'you might have landed on an undiscovered island or a pole' - these have been round planets, far as we can tell, I'm not sure even Elf vision would mean we wouldn't have to land in a dozen places around the globe to be sure."

"We have no power to see through planets, no. You can presumably check off the stars how far apart the landing sites are-"

Permalink

"Yes. Although they've also managed pretty decent aiming precision with the world travel spell."

Permalink

"It's incredibly impressive how well they've coordinated under the circumstances."

Permalink

"There's a pretty good mage network and it recovered surprisingly well post-war."

Permalink

"Good for them."

Permalink

"I like the mage network. I'm glad it's coming through even now."

Permalink

"Panic brings out the worst in lots of people. They have a lot to be proud of."

Permalink

"Honestly I think some of it is 'whoops we ate the world we'd better be differently indispensable right away'."

"- fair. Do we need to be worried about people getting it into their heads to stop mages -"

"Hasn't come up so far but maybe once people are a little less imminently afraid, and no longer relying on mages to get them evacuated, somebody will be like, 'okay, time to go cold turkey, via stabbing'."

Permalink

"You are very thoroughly safe against stabbing but I'm not sure of protection against magic assassination."

Permalink

"Mages are harder to kill by magic. Not impossible but they'd have to know a lot about me."

Permalink

"I'm much more worried about the Enemy but I don't care to miss something just because it's unlikely."

Permalink

"Yeah. I don't think I'm likely to be singled out by any mages but there's no foolproof defense, unfortunately. When I landed here I knew what a king was but for this exact reason my world's governments tended to be kind of decentralized and obfuscated."

Permalink

"That would do it, yeah." Hug. "If you die I will find a world that can resurrect you."

Permalink

"Aww." Snuggle.

Permalink

"In the meantime we can avoid giving me any titles with a lot of fanfare likely to reach mages who don't know me personally."

Permalink

"Awwww, I like thinking up titles for you."

Permalink

"Oh yeah, what've you got?"

Permalink

"World-saver! World-builder! Oath unmaker, godkiller, blood-mage-in-chief - to distinguish from extant and yet undiscovered kinds of magery, you know - interdimensional magic advisor-"

Giggle.

Oooh kisses.
