"Yeah. It's possible they'd rather die than starve indefinitely in space but I'm not going to ask them."

"I could look into how the Ministry negotiates with them and figure out a way to ask, but we'll default to not-murder. Are there any other demons interested in being mind-controlled, I don't want to bore Ister - do you mind if I keep doing that -"

from_scratch

"You'd have takers. I don't know, are you kinking on it as much as he is?"

too-early-and-too-late

"Not that much but not, like, zero."

from_scratch

"So maybe don't summon him up recreationally or make a point of giving all his friends a turn but it's fine for boxing invisible monsters."

too-early-and-too-late

"Okay." Interested demons off the mail server?

from_scratch

Several. Ister positively reviewed the experience in uncomfortable detail.

too-early-and-too-late

Well, it's going to be a couple day's work conjuring for and fetching and boxing all of the Dementors in the world. He gives Cam a name - "can I have a circle? And one for a fairy, too -"

from_scratch

"Random fairy or do you want to try Treeleess again?"

too-early-and-too-late

"I'll ask her first, she was great."

from_scratch

Circles!

too-early-and-too-late

Miscellaneous demon interested in being mind-controlled? - he should have mentioned to Cam that if it was a girl he probably wouldn't find it interesting in the slightest.

from_scratch

Either Cam guessed or he randomly selected a girl. She's got a long saw-edged tail and curly horns. "Hi," she says shyly.

too-early-and-too-late

"Hi! I can do the mind-control magic Ister's been telling people about, I have a project that'll take a few days, you probably won't be able to stop me once we start but if you want check-ins every eight hours or so I can probably do that, are you interested?"

from_scratch

"- check-ins would be good. Um, yes."

too-early-and-too-late

"Okay. Imperio."

from_scratch

And she dazedly smiles.

too-early-and-too-late

And is Treeleess free?

from_scratch

Doesn't answer her summons.

too-early-and-too-late

Ah well. Random fairy?

from_scratch

Here's one!

too-early-and-too-late

"Hi! I'm Timothy. I'm taking these horrible nightmare monsters and putting them somewhere far away in space, we already successfully pulled this off in one country but there are more of them. Are you interested?"

from_scratch

"...nightmare monsters?"

too-early-and-too-late

"You can't see them, they're magic, we put them in boxes and then you just move the boxes. But they feed on positive emotions and make everyone in their immediate vicinity miserable."
