"That makes sense. I wonder if the demons have noticed me yet."

Permalink

"Probably not unless someone's written about you."

Permalink

"I don't really know if anyone would. Paper doesn't seem very common here."

Permalink

"Not very, no. Some Things produce it but not fast. But scratching in the dirt works."

Permalink

"Ah, demon magic seems very flexible."

Permalink

"They have the best deal if you ask me."

Permalink

"It does seem pretty great though I haven't heard a lot of details about either of the others."

Permalink

"Fairies move stuff, angels change stuff. So angels are kind of like discount demons except they can get rid of things."

Permalink

"I think I've heard that much at least. I don't really know what the limits on all that are though. Is there more information in the museum or somewhere else I could get it?"

Permalink

"There's more in the museum." They can go on to the next room; it has preserved and mounted fairy wings listing who donated them and a looping video of fairies doing tricks.

Permalink

Awesome, she looks over everything, paying more attention to the videos. She's seen plenty of wings.

Fairies going from Mars to Earth, really fast, in real time! Fairies excavating a lake in some pretty wilderness where they wanted a lake by launching themselves at the ground somewhat less fast than that. A fairy factory producing computer parts with things floating around and being assembled in vacuum chambers while fairies stare at them. A fairy city, built ludicrously vertical.

"Gosh that's a tall city. So... computers, the literal definition feels like it's about doing lots of calculations but the real meaning feels like it's somehow something that does all sorts of things? Productivity and entertainment and communication all wrapped into one? Do I have that right?"

Permalink

"Yeah, computers are great. This screen is probably hooked up to one."

Permalink

"Oh wow, that's neat."

Permalink

"Yeah, I wish I'd gotten my computer as a Thing but you can't pick in advance." Shrug. Next room has angel stuff. Cloudfluff, example wings, video taken of Heaven, a three-D "map" of some major Heaven settlements that looks not unlike an anthill with negative space swapped for positive.

Permalink

"Huh, so Heaven started off filled by all this Cloudfluff and angels just carve out stuff from inside it? That's an interesting way for a world to be. Sounds like it might get a bit claustrophobic though. Like spending all your time underground."

Permalink

"There's a scale marking, there, some of the cities are hundreds of miles in diameter."

Permalink

"Oh, I guess they've had a long time to clear out big spaces. I wonder if it looks like a normal sky from the inside."

Permalink

"I guess they might turn it blue some places, I don't know."

Permalink

"That makes sense. I don't think it would be quite the same but they've had a long time to get it as close as possible."

Permalink

"Most angels were never human, they wouldn't miss it."

Permalink

"Huh, are Daeva that start that way psychologically different from those that were born in the mortal world?"

Permalink

"...I don't think so especially except that they weren't ever kids?"

Permalink

"Most people don't do well without access to sunlight, sky and a day night cycle. It's one of those bits of wisdom you hear when designing a world you intend for people to spend a bunch of time in."
