I tend to not kill the things I love. Kinda fucked up.

Welcome to Bay12
Virtually all of Ashley's friends and family exist in Creation. She would want to visit them and spend time with them. There is a massive difference in the passage of time between the two realms. If Ashley wanted to see a friend, the Destroyer could be left waiting for her for centuries and I doubt he'd be as selfish as to deny her the right to do so. At the end of the day, with the circumstances surrounding it, their chances at having a successful, eternal marriage would be rather low.

[PrivateNomad]

I cried.

[Rolepgeek]

Why is Void so different in terms of time, by the way?

Is there an actual reason like relativistic time dilation or is it just because?

With Faerie it's because magic, by the way.

I claim Faerie as my realm for GMing purposes, by the way. >.>

Unless someone else already has, that is.

[Projeck37]

You're nailing it, Emp. Heh.

And the reason Nodoka is staying in the Void... well, first the gate, second, protection.

[PrivateNomad]

The void is pretty much fucked up with physics because physics is a creation thing. I'm surprised it doesn't have timey whimey shit going on.
Tbh I think Nodoka would be safer in creation. There are a ton of void entities that hate the Gate, since it restricts their access to creation. No access, no souls. Bartimaeus thought the exact same before he was bound to Alucard.

[Projeck37]

Trust me, she's safer under the eyes of her Father, than in Creation running about and not protecting the gate, since Gatekeeper is her magical form.

[Empiricist]

As for how they married in the first place, I don't think they knew if Nodoka was able to use her Gatekeeper abilities to let Ashley out as quickly. So if it took her really long, then everyone Ashley knew would have died (or gotten killed) before she gotten out. Though on the bright side, her chances at a successful marriage are probably higher.

Actually it's very similar. There are Twilight Realms where time doesn't even exist. There are probably ones where causality and whatnot are different which would result in "time" being quite different.

As for the time dilation and whatnot, fucked if I know. Perhaps Creations are moving at c-fraction speeds through Void? That could work.

Trust me, she's safer under the eyes of her Father, than in Creation running about and not protecting the gate, since Gatekeeper is her magical form.

Not to mention that her ability is still primarily void. and she is basically a demigoddess. Sure the denizens would be pissed, but she has better control over their realm than they do. Comparatively, I would imagine her control over Creation is much lower.

Why do Void entities want souls instead of some other more efficient currency?

[PrivateNomad]

Yeah, every void entity doesn't want to fuck with Void. Why do you think that everything that Alucard summons doesn't fuck with Ashley? Why doesn't Bartimaeus fuck with Ashley for that matter? He used to go mass murder on humans before he actually partially became one.

Why do Void entities want souls instead of some other more efficient currency?

Souls go through the Soul Mill to provide energy for the void.

Souls go through the Soul Mill to provide energy for the void.

More importantly, that means it isn't a currency either. It's just something like coal or crude oil or fuel rods or fuel pellets.

[PrivateNomad]

All void entities are pretty much made from souls that were destroyed. void entities like Bartimaeus at least.

[smurfingtonthethird]

All void entities are pretty much made from souls that were destroyed. void entities like Bartimaeus at least.

Which begs the question: where did the rest come from?

Well when two void entities love each other very much...

[kj1225]

They were made by more efficient means like asking first or destroying them and reforming them out of Void pellets.

Still don't know why they can't just make a couple nuclear reactors and be done with it.

[PrivateNomad]

Void was pretty much already there I think.
Ashley was reborn by the void.

In fact, only two entities are actually NATIVE to the void: Void and Blahkaraz. The other sultanes are just recruited from other creations while the lesser entities are made from souls.

Because the souls make void entities too. You can't really make eldritch horrors with nuclear reactions.
