"Ahh. So no sun. How would you even get rid of it, do you throw a black hole at it and then put warning signs up?"

Permalink

"Get rid of - the tacky plane? An intruding sun? In either case, pretty much yes."

Permalink

"The sun, I already know why the plane wouldn't be destroyed. Because it is the tacky grounding point."

Permalink

"Yep."

They are still hugging. Adana sees no reason to change this.

"It's... Sort of comforting, to know there is an afterlife where I would actually be able to do stuff."
Permalink

"Sort of comforting, huh?"

Permalink

"Sort of. Zane and dad would be going to Limbo, and you're pretty insistent that I would probably end up in Heaven. So I'd be alone."

Permalink

"You could convince them to each summon something once, I think that would probably do it."

Permalink

"I probably will now, but it's still - probable that I wouldn't have anyone there."

Permalink

"I haven't met your dad or your brother, so I can't produce guesses on them for you."

Permalink

Adana nods. She snuggles Cam. "I mean, none of us are planning to die soon, so you've got time."

Permalink

"...I was 22, recall."

Permalink

"... Good point. I will ask them both to hear me out and summon a fairy."

Permalink

"Yup. In, out, thank you for your fifteen seconds mister or miss fairy."

Permalink

She nods. "That's all it takes to count as a summoner?"

Permalink

"I think so. My parents haven't encountered anyone in Limbo who remembers doing even that much."

Permalink

Adana smiles a little. "Okay, that makes it a bit better. I mean - two out of three chance that they will be in either Heaven or Hell, so - one of us would have someone there, probably."

Permalink

"I do think fairy people are more common," Cam cautions.

Permalink

"Well. Then they'd... Have each other, if they're both fairies? And not be stuck in Limbo?"

Permalink

Cam nods. "It's not an ideal setup, but Limbo's kind of - disappointing. There aren't enough concordances."

Permalink

"How often do they occur?"

Permalink

"It's regular but doesn't match up to mortal sidereal time, but approximately every twelve years per pair of worlds. Hell gets Fairyland and Limbo on approximately opposite schedules, so I get to try collecting and sending letters and packages to my parents every six years ish and actually succeed every ten on average."

Permalink

She winces. "... I'm sorry," she says. "That sounds terrible."

Permalink

"It's not ideal. It's not terrible either though. At least I can get in touch with them and they know where I am and that I'm okay."

Permalink

"True, but - still. I'll look into summoning people from Limbo, and if possible... Want to have a tearful reunion?"
