[She gives him a sympathetic smile, and worries at her lower lip with her teeth. Think, think, think. . .]
I'll tell you what; the next thing I ask for from Mana will be to get back my soul-ferrying powers back. It will take a while, but if you can be patient, they can pass through me and I think that will help... help, uh...
[Peace fumbles for the words, awkwardly.]
...filter them out. Separate them back into souls, at least. If they can't be proper bodies. We'll have to figure out how to get them out of here, though. I don't think you want anyone to accidentally-on-purpose snack on them.
You know how people here can be. Very friendly, until they're not.
[ The Ring-Spirit blinks in surprise, before having to stop and smother the laughter attempting to escape. ]
H-haheheh - h-hffhff...
[ Once he gets a rein on that, he turns his attention back to Peace with a wry half-smile, softening. ]
My thanks for the offer, but there's ninety-nine of them, and very little of each left. If we're using anyone's life force for this, lets go with the god, hn? We might not know all the ins and outs of the "how" at the moment, but there's bound to be more raw material to work with.
[ She waved her hand slightly, ] A witch can send over 5,000 souls in her lifetime, what's another 99? But sure, we'll figure out how to use a god to power through them.
I mean, they might be able to piece them back together better than I could. But if it doesn't work, I'm happy to help, you know?
H-heh... yes, maybe I could, if I knew the mechanics...
[ Surprise, the god in question is also him.
...He'd had hopes she could fill him in better on the basics, but perhaps she has a point. Maybe he should find more concrete details to start from, before asking more questions. ]
I take it you wouldn't mind if I looked through your library for more leads, then? I do already know some soul-related magic from home -[or at least he had at one time, he's not sure how many of those memories he can recover ]- it's just in my world, we didn't have the specific process you've described.

Unthinking of his expression, he asks Peace, reluctantly: ]
...You have any ideas? I have to repair them - if not all the way, then... any amount would be better than how they are now.
I have to do something for them.
They're my family, and they're my responsibility.
[ He says that as if the two points aren't actually connected. ]
