"A few times, yeah. I wound up narrowing it down to some I got along with."

"I think I could get along with someone who was trying to talk me out of my soul but they'd have to make a really impressive case for it."

Permalink

"None of them did, alas."

Permalink

"Think the gags make people any safer?"

Permalink

"Fuck no. Souls aside, a pissed off daeva is way likelier to take chances to hurt you."

Permalink

"Do you think Bainbridge's exceptionally otherwise-careful or just got outrageously lucky -"

Permalink

"I think he has summoned maybe two demons ever in his life."

Permalink

" - wait, really? Oh, I guess you can check - you should point that out, I bet that'd end gags in a hurry -"

Permalink

"I haven't actually checked -" Check. "I'm wrong! Three!"

Permalink

Snort. "I wish I could have two book deals for every demon I'd ever interacted with."

Permalink

"What would you write about?"

Permalink

"Not sure. There's an online challenge to rewrite all the classics post-Revelation - so the characters can't have any problems they could just summon someone to solve - but, you know, Romeo and Juliet is still set in the 1500s, no asking a demon for a cell phone or abandoning the whole mess to rule the Moon together -"

"I'm not positive you couldn't run to the moon in the 1500s if you had sympathetic daeva on hand. You'd need a couple of them and they would not get many breaks, but it doesn't seem impossible."

Permalink

"Just make air fast enough it doesn't matter it's getting continuously sucked into vacuum?"

Permalink

"Yup! We can do that. And fairies can keep it from getting sucked away, although it's not one of their easier tricks. Plus I bet a motivated demon could have figured out an airtight container with some trial and error."

Permalink

"That sounds like a recipe for tragedy if they hadn't figured out that people can't breathe the same air forever. I suppose it's supposed to be a tragedy -"

Permalink

"They'd notice it was getting stuffy, I'm sure the 1500s had the concept of suffocation..."

Permalink

"if they were awake when it got bad, sure."

Permalink

"Well, then you get to write the part where they meet in a daeva realm, having been summoners? Or I guess they might be different kinds."

Permalink

"They'd better, otherwise it's not a terribly tragic tragedy. They only see each other at concordances - though I suppose if one were a demon they'd have one-way communication..."

Permalink

"And they try to get summoned together."

Permalink

"Suitably heart-rending. I need seven more books."

Permalink

"Oh, what other demons have you interacted with?"

Permalink

"Wanted to verify your videos, had to go through a couple people."

Permalink

"I wonder what fraction of the audience checked up on me. What do you pay them, the Elves keep singing to fairies -"
