So he'll lead her off to one of the scalpers and make the offer.

"You have to buy two and come with her, unattended daeva ain't allowed," says the scalper.

Permalink

"Sure, fine. Two computers?"

Permalink

"I resell tickets, not computers, what would I do with two?"

Permalink

"Look, just name something you want more than you want the two tickets, I'm having a stressful day."

Permalink

The scalper hems and haws and eventually picks something. The demon is a little annoyed at having to pay for her own tickets - this requires renegotiation of the task-and-payment, technically she doesn't have to help her summoner with coughing up what he agreed to get her - but she really really wants to see Blackberry Picnic so she makes all the stuff.

By then he's calmed down a little. "Thank you. Anywhere else on Earth you'd like to see while we're here? We have to be back here in eight hours but I hear there are lots of pretty places we could see in the meantime. Or we could go to some other galaxy, if you want bragging rights or something..."

"Oh gosh," she says. And she lists some places and does totally want to see another galaxy.

Permalink

Places! The Grand Canyon! The top of Mount Everest! Some city on Mars, some art exhibition in Angola, then back to the Yeerk ship and the whole ship can be in the Andromeda galaxy. "You should make something while you're here, so everyone else in Hell can verify it."

Permalink

"Ooh." She makes a plaque that says Willa Was Here.

Permalink

"Cool! Shall we go to the show?"

Permalink

"Yeah!" She is having the time of her life.

Permalink

Fantastic. Humans are dreadful at music, but he smiles and is good company and after the show is over thanks her for the lovely time and dismisses her. 

And jumps. Hell, Space, Hex, Stork, Demonsworld, Luster, Wish, Millenium. Does anyone happen to know where the Prince Fingon is.

 

Someone happens to know. Out in kind of the middle of nowhere.

 

He jumps. He knocks.

He opens the door. 

 

"..."

"Hi. We haven't met and - I don't know how much you've been told but - can I have a hug?"

Permalink

Hug. "Been told about what."

Permalink

"Anything? I can - give you a summary, but it's going to take forever, and I don't know how to - how to not - I guess I could take off the necklace but it gives me eidetic memory and I really like eidetic memory -"

Permalink

"You're never this bad at communicating by accident, Russandol."

Permalink

"...yeah, that's a fair assessment - okay, so do you know all of the worlds in their multiverse setup -"

Permalink

"No. I - haven't been paying attention, honestly."

Permalink

"They have resurrection now. ...don't know if it works for Elves. Our kind of Elves, I mean."

Permalink

"And why would we do that?"

Permalink

"...I don't think I -"

Permalink

"All I want is for him to be happy. And this is - the closest he's ever going to get."

Permalink

"Today I killed some people I liked to help some people I hate and I don't know if I did it because it was the right thing to do or because I'd have been executed if we'd tried it and failed or because the hosts were in so much pain or because it'd make my you who I'm probably never going to see again happy if he knew about it which he never will."
