"Ooooh, want marketing help?"

"Yes please."

He looks gleeful. "I'd make a series, actually - starting with something walking people through the conjurations you have to do in order to see Valinor, same thing for the Dwarf planet because there's really no harm in that one. Most people will probably be wary of summoning a demon for it, they'd much sooner watch someone else do it. Are you going to pretend you're still human? If so you'd need somebody else to play demon for it. Nice cameras, nice microphones, professional video editing, release the whole uncut versions as well so people can't plausibly accuse you of faking anything. Call up a bunch of journalists who are desperate for an angle on this story no one else has covered, and then you've got lots of articles linking to it. If you want you can invite the serious journalists over to watch a round two so they can stick a 'verified in person' on their stories about it."

"I was planning to start by proving I'm Revelation, actually - I can prove it, just nobody can find me working backwards. And identify myself and then since I was very publicly murdered a few years back explain that I am dead now."

Permalink

"You can start with that, just then you're battling the current headlines instead of riding them."

Permalink

"I might be recognized. I taught hundreds of people before I died."

Permalink

"I don't think you should hold the reveal very long, just 'person who's in the news anyway is Revelation' is going to be a bigger splash than 'person I never heard of is Revelation'."

Permalink

"Okay. I don't mind revealing that I'm a demon for this, I just wish I knew why so I could explain."

Permalink

"Might be worth a little bit more spying, see if we can figure it out with a day's work - is 'ex-humans in Hell' something you can conjure by -"

Permalink

"No, we don't seem to be different in a conjurable-parameter way."

Permalink

"Can you get peoples' birth certificates?"

Permalink

"Yeah, although there's few enough of us that I might miss a meaningful fraction by skipping people who didn't have them because they were from New Guinea or something."

Permalink

"Or the 1400s, yeah. Still, that'd be a partial list, better than none, maybe one of them'd answer a circle..."

Permalink

"Ooh -" He gets a stack of birth certificates. "...this is more than I was expecting having looked into this when I first died."

Permalink

"Huh. Did you check birth certificates at that time?"

Permalink

"No, but I didn't expect the estimate I got to be an order of magnitude off."

Permalink

"What was the estimate you got -"

Permalink

"Like maybe fifty ex-human demons."

Permalink

" - huh. Can I see those -"

Permalink

Cam shoves birth certificates at him.

Permalink

Flip flip - "these are all fairly recent but I guess maybe most people before that didn't have birth certificates at all - should we draw some up and say hello -"

Permalink

"Yeah, sure." He peels one off and finds the name and makes a circle for her.

Permalink

He finishes it.

A demon shows up. "Uh, hi?"

Permalink

"Hello! Sorry to bother you, we're trying to figure out why some people become daeva instead of going to Limbo when they die."
