Morgan doesn't strictly need to sleep. Even if she didn't want to put up with the annoyance of constantly having a caffeine buzz and having to ask for coffee on almost every summon, there are naps. Naps can keep a daeva going for quite a long time.
But there's something unutterably pleasant about curling up in a proper bed in pajamas and just sleeping. And then waking up and getting breakfast in those pajamas. So she does that, because immortality's a long unpleasant time if you don't enjoy the little things every now and then. Like adorable bunny slippers and soft pajamas and sleeping in.
She's midway through a fruity salad thing that counts as the standard fairy breakfast when she feels the summon. Showing up to a summon in pajamas? Eh. If they're proper summoners she bets they've seen worse, and she doesn't particularly care if they think she's unprofessional.
She puts her spoon down and accepts the summon.

I am! I don't sleep anymore, but if I did, my morning to-do list would be 'Kill Endbringers' and 'Don't be a bumbling idiot.'

I think you probably should not be a bumbling idiot with a higher priority than kill Endbringers. There are all kinds of ways being a bumbling idiot might cause killing Endbringers to make it worse.
notinoz
Ha, yes, I did not say my priority list for those two. Not being a bumbling idiot comes first.

I'm earning money for buying satellite phones to hand out when I take over a country, so I have a basic information network from the get-go. I expect people will not want to use it except in an emergency, but that's better than 'Morgan patrols the territory herself,' so.
First I'm aiming for is Namibia, because screw Moord Nag.

Yep. But! They will soon have me, instead. And it's pretty easy to be better than a mass murderer, so I'm hoping that getting them to like me won't be very hard.
notinoz
Oh, I know. But I think I can convince them by demonstrably not murdering people en mass. It'll take ages for them to trust me at all, still, but hey. If I keep the place stable and kick the asses of anyone that tries to fuck with them, I bet they'll end up liking me eventually, even if I don't try to improve their living situations.
Which I will, obviously, because why wouldn't I?

Yes. But I mean, that won't last forever, I'll run out of supervillains eventually. I'm just about done with the stupid paperwork part of being able to sell my services to people for money. Which I will then do. Think of all of the satellites I could launch into space! NASA is going to adore me.
notinoz
Yep! Countries are expensive, mind, so I'm going to be spending the money as much as I make it, and it likely won't even be enough so I'll be looking for tinkers and the like to make some kind of go-to industry for Namibia, but it's still nice.
notinoz
Thank you. We'll see how I do. Whatever it is, it's probably better than mass murder, but that's not a very high bar.
notinoz
Morgan's regime: better than mass murder. It's a pity this won't be at all democratic, because I'm sure that's a winning slogan.

Clearly!
In all seriousness though, I don't know what my title as warlord of the territory would be. I don't actually want to call myself a warlord, and I don't exactly want to go with, say, 'dictator' or the like. I'm sure I'll figure something out eventually, but still.
She could call herself a queen for the hilarity of being the fairy queen, but that's a bit too on-the-nose for her taste. Her name already kind of pushes it a bit if someone knows their Arthurian Mythology.

Supreme leader sounds too - I dunno, like I am running a dictatorship. Empress isn't really appropriate, I don't want to make an empire, and queen's a bit. I mean. I have wings. I'd rather not be labelled the fairy queen, sounds like I'm a crazy person.
