"My theory - it's only that, but still - is that it's personal affinity with the magic -" He repeats the evidence about the ex-human demons.

"Huh. Making stuff suits me best. I hope that is how it works, demons clearly have the most convenient powerset."

"We do! I mean, you could make a case for the others, but we've got the infosec-hazard thing going on, I have fun with that."

"I mean, sure, takes all kinds and everything, but - exploring things, changing things, that really only appeals to the extent the good stuff is already out there somewhere. And - it's just not. Most of everywhere's just empty. Most things that would be nice to have don't exist at all yet."

"Most people seem to be fairies. I'm not sure if they're a catchall or if it's something broader than 'exploring'."

Permalink

"Really? I feel like - no, wait, I guess 'most L.A. screenwriters are not the fairy type at all' doesn't disprove anything. Are naturally-occurring daeva evenly distributed?"

Permalink

"It's inexact but all three appear at similar rates and seem to have been doing so for a similar length of time."

Permalink

"The rate has stayed the same?"

Permalink

"More or less. It's not 'so many annually', it's more 'within this range over a decade'."

Permalink

"But it's not tied to human populations or anything." 

Permalink

"Nor to daeva populations, no."

Permalink

"So likely enough there'll be more ex-humans eventually-"

Permalink

"Yeah. I'm not sure how the naturally occurrings will feel about that."

Permalink

"Maybe people will prefer to mostly live here anyway."

Permalink

"Hell has little to recommend it that couldn't be replicated, Heaven almost as little, but Fairyland might be more popular. I suppose if the naturally occurrings wind up wanting to be a separate culture the ex-humans can just go real far away."

Permalink

"Well, people might freak out if demons who weren't literally Revelation were going around unbound, so one thing to recommend it is that you don't have to deal with that -"

Permalink

"I like not having bindings on and am glad no one has decided to make an issue of it, but they're not literally uncomfortable. But yes, point in favor of living at home, as it were."

Permalink

"People might make an issue if you announced it. But yeah."

Permalink

"I'm not announcing it but if I had to be in a public place where people might squint at me I wouldn't go around in a mascot uniform to avoid it."

Permalink

"Just tell your summoner to stay outta Texas."

Permalink

"If it looks like a likely vacation destination I will weigh in against."

Permalink

"Gags aren't uncomfortable? I feel like that'd really fuck with me."

Permalink

"I didn't mean them in particular, but they're actually fine if you're not trying to talk. You couldn't if you didn't know any better distinguish sitting around reading a book with a gag on from sitting around reading a book without. I guess I meant that they're not obtrusive."

Permalink

"Can you do the parlor trick on yourself - say, if the circle was in light and is gone and you're not sure -"

Permalink

"No - same is actually true for summoners, can't squint at yourself to double-check if you don't have your circle visible."
