"As soon as you want."

"Yeah, all right." She takes the summon.

Permalink

Does she prefer an apology, some other form of remedy, or no contact with her murderer, does she want sentencing to take into account distress she experienced and distress experienced by her loved ones and if so does she care to testify to that.

Permalink

She doesn't see what good an apology would do her. She hasn't been in touch with her loved ones since she died so she can't say exactly how distressed they were, but she was pretty darn distressed.

Permalink

They are planning to schedule a parole hearing for thirty Years and sentence her to be constrained from being around people who are murderable in the meantime. It seems appropriate to prohibit her access to the book but they can't think of a humane way to do that.

Permalink

How do they constrain her like that?

Permalink

"The easiest way would be to summon her under a binding that prohibits ever leaving Hell, and then sending her back there, but if she declines to cooperate with that there's a planet where she has been contained for trial and can remain."

Permalink

"...so it's basically the same as before you tried her?"

Permalink

"The aim is preventing her from doing it again. You would feel more reassured at a sentence more disruptive to her life?"

Permalink

"She disrupted my life and I'm never getting it back! Over a book!"

Permalink

Nod. "We'll take that into account. Thanks for your time. Is there anything else we can do for you?"

Permalink

"As long as I've left Heaven anyway can you just drop me off with my nephew for a week before sending me back?"

Permalink

"We'd be happy to, but it's ten days' travel there from here, the portal's halfway across the galaxy. Can we write our staff there and have them summon you?"

Permalink

"Um, okay."

Permalink

They send her home and do that.

Permalink

He has someone draw her a circle.

Permalink

Here she is.

Permalink

They will also summon a fairy and take her to meet her nephew.

Permalink

Her nephew is confused. But he lets her in.

Permalink

"Write me when you want to go home," the Elf says brightly, and leaves.
