Minor sits down and looks up the person Ganymede's all upset about.

Eighteen year old in Austria, cut herself and bled out. She's a fairy now. She didn't leave a note but she was known to have watched his channel.

Well at least there's not another daeva to defend at trial. He puts out a circle for her.

She doesn't answer.

Well, hopefully she's happy. Did the GCP email him (or his attorney, he can catch that too) or just put out the circles?

Just circles.

Are their internal communications all chiplocked?

Or "come see me earliest convenience", yes.

He makes the circle they have for him and starts reading through it.

Standard GCP demon binding. Same as Cam's.

Yes yes yes he has a plan. Which he promised not to act on until the trial was over for the poor demon who participated in the assisted suicide, when's that scheduled?

In two days.

Minor makes videos. Building a bigger pasture for the dragons. Sneak peak at the next project out of Hazel, unicorns. And the video about the innocent demon facing a murder trial for helping Arati daevafy, unable to even talk in his own defense.

His commenters point out that he'll be allowed to write.

"There's a reason that human defendants aren't gagged for their trials and forced to write. You all must have noticed how sometimes misunderstandings happen over the internet where they wouldn't in person because speech is just so much more expressive."

He can also make facial expressions.

"It's not the same, trust me, I've been gagged. Tone matters, and communicating in a medium you're comfortable with matters. They would never gag human defendants. If some place did, everyone else would consider it a human rights violation."

Someone thinks that the GCP of all people would probably know if it were really untrue that demons can take souls.

"How? They never let us talk, or talk to us."

They must sometimes under controlled conditions, everyone assumes.

"Everyone assumes wrong. The Elves found out about people daevafying when they die within like a week because Elves talk to us. The entire population of Godspring has now summoned a daeva because they got confirmation and then took the implications seriously. This world has a prejudice which it has permitted to blind it for a very long time."

It seems really implausible that nobody would've noticed.

"People noticed! People said things! And we weren't believed, we weren't taken seriously, we weren't trusted! Any of you can summon a demon and ask for the posthumous works of William Shakespeare, any of you can confirm this in your own living room - though use the bindings linked on this site, or other comparably trustworthy ones, summoning without adequate bindings really is dangerous."

William Shakespeare was a summoner?!

"There's still an afterlife for nonsummoners, they just don't get any powers. But William Shakespeare is still around writing plays, yeah, I've read the ones after he died and some of them are excellent."
