"I'm not worried about Hell's operations, I'm worried about individual demons getting hurt."

"Yes, that's a possibility, depending—ah—are you aware that mortal magic has reciprocal effects on the user? That is, one who casts for love becomes more loving, one who casts for greed becomes more greedy, one who casts to heal becomes more compassionate, one who casts to harm becomes more cruel?"

"I had considered it a strong possibility, given the state she was in when we met."

"...oh, dear." He opens his mouth, hesitates, closes it again, hesitates some more. "...I would like to ask what her particular trouble was, if it's not private."

"Oh, she'd been cursing people for money. Left her pretty nasty. I managed to drag her out of it by being so curious about magic that she remembered how passionate she was about magic-related curiosity and went back to doing more science and less cursing. ...Not no cursing, but making a shitty politician drop hot coffee on his lap on live TV isn't the same thing."

"I see." He shakes his head slightly. "...Returning to the topic at hand. Or one of several topics at hand. Yes, having at least one parent with magic will certainly help with many aspects of raising a half-demon child. We can also, as I mentioned, offer you your own magical awakening as a reward, though it's an expensive one."

"We'll see. I'd like it, certainly, but it isn't necessarily the most important thing."

"In any case I can't promise anything yet about the existence of this hypothetical child, though I'm optimistic."

"I'm glad to hear it. Actually, I have an important question that I maybe should have gotten to earlier: do the demon dreams feel like I just had a dream, or like things actually happened."

"That can depend on the details of the encounter, how long it was, how vividly you normally remember your dreams, and so on. If you have a preference, it's often possible to nudge things one way or the other."

"Because time-folding combined with high frequency and duration sounds promising, but I don't want my subjective experience of my life to be that the normal things that matter to me are comparatively short breaks between demon rape."

"Hmm... longer encounters compressed into single nights often feel especially vivid and real after the fact, but you could take the Memory Wipe aftercare option with a note to just use a touch of memory blurring to put the result within range for a memory of a normal dream?"

"Memory Wipe does seem potentially useful...can I attach it to specific duration-frequency-encounter-etc. groups?"

"Yes, with separate notes per encounter group for whether you want light blurring or more comprehensive memory removal or something in between."

"I'm not going to lie, spending a lot of time getting my brains fucked out and then only sort of remembering it seems like a really cheap way to get points."

"And from our side, it seems like a cheap way to feed large numbers of demons. Isn't it lovely when both ends of a trade benefit by more than they paid?"
