"You think we could annoy this one into taking a circle? - Might work, I guess the sensation might be irritating if there were a lot of it -"

Permalink

"Might be worth a shot, at least."

Permalink

"...okay. I'll design a binding for that."

Permalink

"Not restricting their movements, please -"

Permalink

"...Can you settle for within some number of miles of the circle or other designated anchor point, I don't think people want the eleven o'clock news strafing the maternity ward even if she can't do anything."

Permalink

"Yeah. Maybe eventually we can set up a planet for them."

Permalink

"Maybe. Do any of you want to do the honors or should I go suggest this to the cops or what."

Permalink

"Human summoners imposes a bit of a cap on the sentences. It should probably interact with a legal system at some point but we'll do the circles."

Permalink

"Okay. How many miles for you to be comfortable with it and where do you want the circles..."

Permalink

"Are you going to let them fly?"

Permalink

"Yeah. Just not too far. Or too high up, don't want her knocking down satellites." His binding is taking shape in his word processor.

"Could do it here but then if they get visitors everyone's nearby - I could make some phone calls and ask about turning part of Montana into a daeva prison, there's a lot of Montana -"

Permalink

"There's a lot of Montana," agrees Cam.

He makes some phone calls. The U.S. government is delighted about a daeva prison how are they going to arrest the daeva exactly. He hops a few phones and - "fifty miles. Fifty miles is all right, they should be okay, there can be nice buildings for them and open spaces -"

"I'll set it all up nice."

Cam finishes the design. He makes sure the evil fairy is at home, and he lays incomplete circles.

Permalink

He finishes them. 

Ten of them.

Twenty of them. 

Forty of them. 

Eighty of them.

It takes two hundred and seventeen before the fairy shows up in one of the earlier ones, confused and upset.

"Hi," he says with satisfaction. "You're under arrest."

Permalink

"...you can't arrest me. I'm a fairy."

"You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney."

"Afford an -? I'm a fairy, you lunatic."

Permalink

"You are the lucky fairy who inspired the U.S. criminal justice system to figure out how to arrest fairies. Do you understand your rights?"

Permalink

"No."

Permalink

"I'm going to make some more phone calls," he says to Cam. "Have a statement for the papers now?"

Permalink

"I have the makings of one. Thank you."
