Larya comes. She looks mildly confused.

"Close the door please - I found an, um, interdimensional magic bar and these are alternate universe versions of Maitimo. For magic door reasons it's a good idea to have someone from your world in here."

Permalink

She closes the door. She nods to the alternate universe versions of Maitimo. "Uh, okay - I should tell them to rearrange the shifts to cover for me -"

Permalink

"Closing the door stops time, I've been here for weeks."

Permalink

"- ah. All right, then. Is there food, water, facilities -"

Permalink

"Yeah. Bar sells stuff, you can use my tab. There's a backyard if you can't get a pretty enough room."

Permalink

" - okay." She sits down. "Does anyone need anything -"

Permalink

"I expect my father has already learned Quenya and is going around resenting that he can't talk to a native speaker. 52001."

Permalink

"Thank you, your grace." Off she goes.

Permalink

"Sorry."

Permalink

"What happened -?"

Permalink

"I hate telling that story. Aitim's heard it."

Permalink

"Mmhm."

Permalink

"...okay."

Permalink

"...so, besides the mosquito thing, how are we going to exploit the heck out of this place as of current planning?"

"Technology! Only a bit has been mentioned but I get the sense there's tons more of it - they have something so people only have children when they want to, Cam was going to check whether that works for us. Apparently there's an off chance we can become the kind of immortal magical being Cam is - the Amentans can't but maybe it goes by species - so we're going to teach some people the relevant ritual and see what happens when they die. Cam's magic can presumably also be used to get lost spellcharts back, I have a list but I bet you have a more complete list. It seems like people wander in occasionally and someone might have magic that increases working memory - also the staff in the infirmary and security change and usually have powerful magic they can use for that. Apparently there's lots of history-of-how-to-do-governance we should be looking at. Democracy's not very tempting but maybe things in that vein in general."

"If we become Cam-things when we die what happens to familiars and spirit animals?"

Permalink

"We have no idea. - if we've got immortality for us and for familiars it kind of might be obligatory to make people bind theirs if the spirit animals want it..."

Permalink

"Which we can't verify independently," she points out.

Permalink

"But we could incentivize it, anyway, have something set up for the familiars where they wouldn't have to bother their humans, the translation here would help if we could keep it or replicate it -"
