Even if I don't take the mystery present?

Specting retro from having already received the present.

Ah-huh.

I can't think of any more questions at this time.

I forgot to say the mystically-guaranteed nickname for Jesus and Elevation's birthday is 'Floodeds'.  Starches are really autoxenophilic and will have various amounts of a thing about the wings and tail.  Most slaves aren't nearly as well-propagandized as Ellie.  You should throw Ellie and Misto at designing cat-friendly assistive devices once the power grid's all sorted out; they made those hands together without sharing a language.  Absolutely no comment on Tigerstar's innocence or evilness but he did invent refrigeration and quarantine which is pretty cool regardless.  Tortoiseshells are half trans because of a glitch in the way the uplift catnip handles gender.  Give Linguistics Ghost Kitten an extra scritch for me next time you see him.

Will do.

And note that your present will still have to be developed using the very slow local magic system, so, y'know, take the time you need to decide but keep that in mind.

Order of magnitude of time from decision to implementation?

Probably a few months.  Unless a few other things turn out a specific way such that it's worth it to do most of the work ahead of time even with the risk you won't accept.

Any joy on saying what things?

It would make things straightforwardly worse for you if I told.  Except that it's only likely to come up in the first place if it takes you months to decide, which I non-psychically expect it won't.

Golly. Okay. If I knew the best question to ask what would I say?

You just hit on it!  But since I'm only cryptic when I have to be I'll say that the second-best probably has to do with whether summoning other daeva will work here.  And the answer is 'I don't know.'

Will summoning me work normally, if something happens to Fireheart?

Yeah, but see we had to build that in specifically - summoning didn't work here for most of history - and only then could StarClan and whoever else worked on that project set it up.  And as I didn't exist at the time I don't know whether it was an exception for you specifically or if summoning just works now.  I mean on the one hand they said they needed precise timing to get you, right, but on the other it has to have been at least a couple years and nobody else here has accidentally summoned anyone?  At least, that I know of, but you'd really think I would.  So I don't know how that shakes out probability-wise.

You didn't exist at the time? How recent are you - in your current form, I guess?

The last time any of me was alive was a little over two years ago.

I'm not sure Fireheart is even two.

He isn't.  Almost, though.

Well. If summoning other people works, will dismissing them work?

Any tests you try should probably keep the possibility that it won't in mind.

Will do. Am I correct in assuming that if demons copy crystals that here have magical effects back home they won't somehow have magical effects there any more than they did last week?

Yes, but any crystal that's here for even a moment will be magic even if it leaves.

- what, forever?

Yeah.

Wow. Thanks for the heads up. Maybe we can ship some to Limbo!
