"I have no idea! Lots of people have summoned their relatives, lots of people know it's true, they're not going to be able to keep it a secret forever. But - it's kind of weird that it's been a secret this long in the first place. Maybe they wanted it to stay one, for some reason? Anyway, they didn't tell me a reason, they just told me that there was a law against it now and unless I took down all my videos immediately they'd arrest me. It was weird. - I didn't take the videos down. People deserve to know. Aren't you glad you got to see your granddad?"

"He was a sourpuss, actually, but I knew he summoned some folks."

Giggle. "Okay. There's an afterlife for everyone else, too, just no way to reach it."

"Granddad mentioned that. Pity they can't be summoned."

"The Elves are working on some kind of plan with all their fancy dimensional portal tech."

Permalink

"Oh, good! Are you going to post about that?"

Permalink

"Sure am! I try to not do politics stuff every single video and I want to say something about the demon who got arrested for helping someone daevafy, but I'll probably do a video about it this week or next."

"Cool. Email me if you have a chance to take a role."

"No problem! Good luck out there!"

"Thanks!" 

 

And another one -

Kid about his age in South Africa. "Hey," he says. "I want to be a daeva."

Permalink

"Well, now someday you will."

Permalink

"I mean like now."

Permalink

"Oh. 

 

Uh, there are a lot of good reasons to wait. If you want to have kids someday, if you want to be able to travel freely in this star system, if you want your full legal rights should you ever be accused of a crime..."

"Seems to be working fine for you."

"My family has a lot of resources. If they hadn't noticed I was missing I'd be in a storeroom on Luna for the next decade. If they'd noticed but hadn't been able to have a demon find me and go to Luna and file a complaint with the police, same. Or if they'd filed a complaint but the people who hid me had been more competent -"  - if Timothy hadn't been willing to work outside the law once it wasn't going to help me fast enough, he doesn't add -

"So I won't take summonses. Nobody I need to see."

Permalink

"But that'd leave me in a bit of a pickle at the murder trial."

Permalink

"All right, I'll show up, what do you want?"

Permalink

"Uh, do you mind if I record this conversation?"

Permalink

"Why do you want to -?"

Permalink

"Murder trial. The demon who helped Arati become an angel is bound and gagged in Ganymede, and Ganymede's insisting that the angel is just someone impersonating her."

Permalink

"Oh. Yeah, you can record it."

Tiny camera. "I'm recording this conversation," he says once it's on. "Look, is wanting-to-die something that could maybe be fixed with enough money, a better place to live, access to medication or whatever - there's a spell in my world called the Cheering Charm that helps if the problem is being sad..."
