Tireh shows up in the office. "You want me to be point person for, uh, Midnight With A Hole In His Head Edition?"

"I guess, until there's a reason to switch."

"Yeah, no problem, give me the ten minute version and I'll go poke him."

Cor does that.

Hop hop.

Midnight With A Hole In His Head is in his city-under-construction and can certainly make time for a random winged stranger.

"Hi. I'm Tireh. You need a nickname and it can't be Midnight."

"I have no complaints about my current name."

"Tough, it's really common. There's alternate universe versions of people."

"And there are lots of people named 'Eruanna', I don't make them change it."

"We can table that for now. Uh, there is a multiverse network thing and it is run by versions of you who have better childhoods or something and also versions of Cor, I'm the second thing and I seem to be specializing in your variety of Maitimo."

" - okay."

"Him and this world's Findekáno found us so now you're on the map, congratulations, the Arda also needs a name but Cor'll probably do that."

"Have you already figured out human mortality and disease and so on -"

"Yeah! There's mortality artifacts - I met the network when I tried to steal a boxful - since you're Flat Elves here we'll wanna put some of you on making those, there's so many people."

"We'd be delighted! Artifacts are really slow -"

"We can make people real fast at artifacting!"

"Oooooh! Then we're all yours. Cor's probably got someone handling the evacuees -"

"Yeah, we're gonna put 'em somewhere other than the south continent here since they're not all dug in yet and we can do infrastructure stuff. Oh also I can fix the hole in your head, Cor feels bad about the misunderstanding."

"Oh good, we were going to try that surgically as soon as Sauron's accounted for and my death wouldn't disrupt anything but if you can do it with better odds it's kind of horrible."

"We are also gonna check whether Cor successfully killed Sauron or not. We've got a really good healing spell, it can solve the problem as long as you are not insta-dead of having it dug out. Spell is based on proprietary underlying whatnot sorry."

"So we can't have healers around for emergencies? Or we can but we have to pay the source?"

"You can have some here they just have to be vetted."

"Okay. I can recommend you people but if you know Ardas maybe you already know some."

"Recommendations wouldn't be amiss, this Arda is a bit later than the other one of the same kind and maybe that changes stuff? Also the peal - that's us - made an incredibly terrible first impression on the other you of the same kind."
