He can't really think why you'd have scaly tails even given the ability to self-modify as often as you'd like. "Hello! I'm Matt Carter, I'm with the U.S. Department of Summoning and Interworld Security, we're looking for someone interested in a long-term job here handling interworld communications -"

"Ooh?"

"We want daeva to be able to write us if, say, a friend's been gone much longer than planned and they're worried they're being held against their will, we'd like to let people plan out summons by talking to Hell in advance..."

Permalink

"Hey, that's a good idea, you wouldn't wind up with people who want to go to Paris summoned in Florida by some dude who only has concert tickets on offer."

Permalink

"That's the idea. And if someone really wants to see a concert they can let us know, make sure they get a summons for it."

Permalink

"So the job is for basically a postal worker."

Permalink

"We're hoping to find someone who'd like to hang out in the D.C. area, make us a hard drive with our messages four times a day. Do you know anyone who might enjoy that?"

Permalink

"Eh, what are you paying?"

Permalink

"Government guidelines are very firm at the moment that we can only offer demons money. I think they threw that rule out the window when they were first frantically spying on all our neighbors but now they're very settled on it. Enough money you can arrange most things you might want, though."

"I've never, like interacted with money, how is it not redundant with being a demon..."

Permalink

"You can buy concert tickets, you can buy animals, you can commission art, you can pay people to meet you or perform for you, you can hire sex workers - in jurisdictions where that's legal, at least -"

Permalink

"Is D.C. one of 'em?"

Permalink

"It is not. Fairies rather make it a short commute, though."

Permalink

"Are fairies included in the job?"

Permalink

"Sufficient money is included in the job that you could hire an assistant to summon fairies and angels for you at need, sure."

Permalink

"Arright. I'm not feeling it but I might know somebody."

Permalink

"I can take names."

Permalink

He rattles off a handful - "Kazul might not answer fast, like, within a day -"

Permalink

"Thank you for the heads-up."

Permalink

"Yeah-huh."

Permalink

He sends him home and summons one of his acquaintances. 

Permalink

Vie answers pretty quick. "Hiya! Wow, you know so many languages."

Permalink

"Most of them aren't even real languages, sorry, I had a conlanging passion in college." And he describes the job.

Permalink

"Huh, would this be like, dismiss and resummon a lot, or like, live on Earth for ages."

Permalink

"Could arrange either way, what's convenient?"
