"We'll pick a big forest in which it's inconvenient to find us even with a demon, they'll stomp around - or have a fairy fly them around - in twenty years they'll have forgotten all about it. You said they found out about this because someone summoned? Do you know who, have they been warned -"

"Aaron says no one's summoned anybody yet."

"Who's that?"

Permalink

It is not impossible.

Nelyo, can we sit a couple decades out?

Permalink

Sure, but I expect the government to do a much worse job of handling the transition to summoning. I suppose I can try to get a lot of good people hired before I leave.

Are they likely to be less up in arms if you happen to be unemployed at the time?
