No, actually, the binding for summoning an emergency random demon definitely should not let that demon drug people and drugging people before their limbs were amputated was the main thing he'd wished he could've done. It would've been good if he could have offered to get them a list of medical angels and to pay said medical angels, but no one extra died because he couldn't help them find angels, at least not this time. 

He checked that the people were all okay and he checked that emergency services had gotten there and it wasn't, like, a war zone that no one had bothered mentioning needed humanitarian aid or something like that where it would have helped for him to fairy right over with a better summons and do reconstruction. 

Yeah there are not too many war zones about these days.

Well he hadn't thought so but you should have seen the place. 

It's almost a month before he thinks to spy on Richard Moon again.

Richard Moon has answered some comments on his fanfiction. He has registered an opinion on the forum discussion about Imbrium dome-edge construction. He negatively reviewed a Martian barbecue restaurant.

Summoned any demons?

Richard Moon has not completed any valid circles recently.

Eventually Minor, in a better mood and now qualified to handle emergencies if they come up and the binding permits it, swings home for hugs and dragons and a video announcing this achievement. (Michael's been posting regular dragon-updates in his absence.)

He finds Miranda. 

Karen is in the room they've been sharing. (Miranda's only complaint about sorting Slytherin was that she did not get to room with Karen.)

There's only one bed in it now.

" - hey."

"Hey, are you looking for Miranda? She got her own room."

"- yeah I was. Do you know the number -"

"206, it's across the hall." Point.

Knock knock.

"Hi Minor!"

"Hey! I'm back for a bit - I think I'll probably take random summons some more, even if only one in a hundred is like that it'd be worth it for it not to go to some jerk - but I should take a break first. ...considered suggesting they pause Revelation for my break, decided not to do that."

"It might be a little self-centered."

"Bright does it. Or did it, don't know if he still does."

"His project involves more personnel wrangling and stuff."

"Yeah. Anyway. Good to see you."

"You too!"

"What are you up to?"

"I went and talked to Bella's mom and borrowed some more of her monsters and have been doing experiments. And helping with the automated potionmaking trials."

"Cool, how are those going?"

"Unfortunately it looks like we can't automate much about potionmaking. Specifically I am currently nearly convinced that a magic person has to do all the steps that sound really stupid, like stirring exactly seven times counterclockwise. Purely mechanical stuff like powdering and chopping, or just mixing till combined or adjusting the heat, can be done by a thing or by a nonmagic person but with a lot of ingredients you run into freshness problems very fast and the rest of them are exactly the easy parts that don't help very much to automate away. I do think it would be possible to come up with an efficient assembly line if we had magic people who wanted to do that."

" - that's obnoxious. We could probably get a magic person assembly line once we open Hazel but dunno when we should open Hazel."
