"He'd have a hole in his head but maybe you can fix that."

"Spell's in your information packet."

Nod. "It's - he didn't know I could do that, he knew I could messily suicide but he didn't know I could kill him and survive it myself. And he said he'd let me go when the war was over so I killed Melkor and then there was some - confusion - and I placed it."

"...I promise you that I wouldn't be judging even if you said you slit his throat in his sleep."

"I did not in fact slit his throat in his sleep, and this is not solely because he made that difficult, and I want to be clear about what I did and did not mean to do."

Nod.

"So feel free to go dig the point out of his head and chuck it in a standard point."

"I will suggest someone who can handle him go and do that."

"Who can handle him?"

"- uh. No one has, like, a track record. Tireh doesn't seem to mind the other one?"

"Uh-huh." Sigh.

He lets them read.

"So you can de-oath people cheaply?"

"Yup. Bring them all here and Loki can do it in one go. And the orcs have a setup to integrate new Ardafulls of orcs."

"Good, my way is time-consuming and byproducty. Maitimo keeps a creepy stranglehold on his people - I deoathed one and that was, uh, a time things got worse, and her they exiled -"

"Maybe we can work out something to get them rotated out to Vanda Nossëo and positively influenced. With the first evil Arda we were worried it was contagious but it doesn't seem to be."

"Everyone else is usually better too?"

"Oh, yeah, definitely. Evil Ardas, not evil Maitimos, practically everyone is worse - you don't seem to be," he says to his alt.

       "I didn't get much opportunity."

"You just actually don't seem different from the rest of us in values or priorities."

"I was sort of friends with Curufinwë before he did absolutely nothing at the wrong time."

"There's a you married to a him. Perhaps he will go yell at his alt for you."

"That would be kind of gratifying."

"I will drop a note."

"Thanks."

He writes Elspeth about the Valar and Tireh about evil Maitimo v.2 and Cam about other civilizations fucked over by this terrible neighborhood's magic system and also infrastructure for evacuees and Minor about going to do some of those unfriendly Hogwarts hexes to his new alt.

Elspeth hops by to get directions! Then she continues onward to visit the Valar.
