Miler appears after about an hour. "Hey, did you know -"

"- fairy-hating monsters, yeah."

"Oh. Well, that."

"I know, it's terrible, the poor girl."

"Yeah. So what do you need?"

"Some asshole thought it'd be funny to leave a shiny on Venus."

"Uh. I guess if I wait till you can literally see Venus from Earth I could get there but I dunno how to fly back. You want me to go pick it up and then dismiss me and summon me back for it?"

"Would keeping hold of it be any kind of problem, it's a big deal if it gets lost..."

Permalink

"I don't see why that'd come up? I don't have to put it down. You can just draw another circle while I'm still here - that works, right?"

"That works," Cam confirms.

"And then soon as I'm dismissed I can grab it?"

Permalink

"Sounds great. Thank you. So we can pay you up front for this leg, and then pay you again for the delivery?"

Permalink

"Yeah, sing pretty," says Miler, grinning and bobbing up and down in the air.

Permalink

Elves sing so pretty.

Permalink

Soooo pretty!

And then Cam gets ahold of a guide to the night sky and identifies Venus for Miler and gives him plenty of little models to help him triangulate the shiny and loads him up on coffee. Off the fairy goes.

Elves go back to watching the news.

Permalink

Cam checks on Miler now and then, and - "He's there," and, "- he's got it."

Permalink

He can go home.

Permalink

He comes back. With the shiny. "Yo."

"Yo!"

"This thing makes my house look awesome."

Permalink

"It does that. What do you want for it?"

Permalink

"Eh, I'm fresh out of material goods needs, I'll just take some more singing pretty. You guys should go pro."

Permalink

"One of my brothers sometimes does." More singing pretty.

Permalink

Miler bobs around to the music and then hands over the shiny.

Permalink

They wear gloves to take it.

"Is this thing radioactive or something, do I need to warn my neighbor, she has pets."

"Nah, fingerprints," lies Cam.

"I poked it, izzat a problem?"

"Occupational hazard, don't worry about it."

Permalink

"Thank you so much."

Permalink

"No problem," says Miler. "Venus is pretty, I'm gonna paint it."

"Neat," says Cam.

And home he goes. Celegorm takes the third Silmaril to his father. 

 

 

The existence of a hidden Elf continent is now breaking news on all channels.

And Nosso manages to get a cooperative summoner and he and a whole lotta notes go zipping through the windy path to Valinor.

He flings the notes over the mountains first, then grabs his binoculars and zips forward to make sure they land where they belong -

- goes a little too far and can't arrest his momentum and goes careening through the sky hollering "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" until he crashes into a triceratops. The triceratops does not survive the experience.

Its neighbors stampede away in terror.

This fairy knows how to walk.

He grimly picks himself up and pats out the friction fires in his clothes and looks around for a direction in which to walk.

Permalink

There's a very pretty city built into a cliff a while thataway! It actually looks like some people from it are coming towards him.

I just came here to drop some letters. Didn't mean to come in over the mountains, he tells them sourly.
