"Too much gold?"

Permalink

"Not gold specifically. Too much instant gratification? Make a house festooned with pearls the size of your head, it falls down because you're not an architect, bury it all under diamond, put a new house on top with pearls only half the size of your head and live butterflies in the glass walls, set all the butterflies on fire when they die and replace them with fish and replace the entire house again when the fish die, it gets... stupid."

"The poor fish! The poor buildings! Someone should fund architecture educations for demons!"

Permalink

"There are neighborhoods where you are not welcome to live if you're going to do your own architecture and don't have a credential! No need to be sorry for the fish, though, they come out stupid, anything more complicated than a bug does."

Permalink

"They could do normal eggs, right? I guess that implies more foresight than is consistent with putting fish in your walls in the first place."

Permalink

"Yes and yes."

Permalink

"Do you have a place?"

Permalink

"Yeah. I crashed with the first person I met who spoke English for a while and then I got an apartment, which some people also do. The place came with garbage disposal services, which is slightly more important than it sounds."

"How does Hell handle garbage disposal?"

Permalink

"Lakes of fire are traditional."

"It's weird how much - matches - do you think the human mythology around demons is based off stories from actual demons?"

Permalink

"It seems likeliest."

Permalink

"What advantage does a lake of fire have over just lighting things on fire?"

Permalink

"Centralizes the smoke and particulates and prevents it from burning other people's stuff down while it would be inconvenient."

Permalink

"Where do new people appear -"

Permalink

"Near existing people - there do not seem to be multiple pockets of demons bajillions of parsecs away from each other. I showed up in Dite, one of the big cities."

Permalink

"Was it terrifying to die and wake up in Hell, I feel like it might be."

Permalink

"Very disorienting. One minute, crazed gunman, the next minute, stark naked on a busy pedestrian street staring at something made of malachite where all the stripes spell things in Arabic."

Permalink

"Hey, at least you didn't land in a lake of fire."

Permalink

"Would've been uncomfy! And worrying! Although the limited nature of the uncomfy would mitigate the worrying."

Permalink

"Eternal moderate discomfort! Have you gone to talk to the guy who murdered you?"

Permalink

"Thought about it, haven't. I don't really think there's anything to be gained. I might have done it if I'd gotten a chance sooner after the incident mostly to deliver subtext about how he didn't murder me very hard, ha ha, but at this point I'm less interested."

"What do you think you'd be if you were a daeva?"

Permalink

"What goes into it?"
