Starting in three days! (He asks an Elf Timothy for the volunteer summoners.) The idea is that summoners'll learn it's pretty hard to get a demon at all if you're going to insist on gagging them. And also maybe some demons who don't usually take summons (because of the gags) will be tempted to give it a try!

Minor starts a strike! is filmed and edited but not yet released.

Not all demons are on board with this strike. There is some chatter about how this'll make it easier to find asshole summoners, not all of whom are as good at bindings as they are at gags.

And then, what, evade prison circles for eternity and miss out on the multiverse? Plus the thing where, like, demons killing people is exactly what asshole summoners want, it justifies their whole existence. If summoning were just a friendly transaction between people from different places, there'd be no need for all the stupid gag rigamarole. But as long as they can convince the public that demons are a barely containable menace, well, here we are. 

Some folks just get a lot of satisfaction out of menacing assholes!

He understands that! He would find it kind of satisfying to be totally unbound and make faces at Richard Moon. (He publishes the story, to explain what inspired him to arrange for the presents for daeva who don't want to be gagged.) But if it goes past making faces and fucks up their shot at driving gags to extinction overnight, the people involved won't get to take any more summons. Ever. So they should probably keep it to making faces. 

Some of these demons agree to keep it to making faces. Some.

Do any of the ones who are not convinced have actual criminal records?

Misdemeanors, mostly, not the sort of thing that gets you on the GCP's radar.

Then hopefully they're just blustering. 

When Minor starts a strike! goes up he adds a message to summoners. "I don't want anybody to get hurt. There are demons who'll hurt people. It's not most of us, but it might be a lot of the ones who'll bother answering summons gagged. If you're summoning during the strike, please be careful. I hope people will stop summoning with gags, but if you do, stay safe."

Commenters want to know why he's organizing the strike if it'll get people with perfectly normal summoning behavior hurt. What if they don't even watch his show, most people don't. Some people don't speak English.

He can release the videos in every language he speaks; by now it's a bunch of them. He does that. 

"The way things are now gets people hurt. Look, most demons are good people. But they don't take summons. Why would they? They'll be gagged and called 'it' and mistreated, they might be locked in a closet for a week for absolutely no reason. If my family hadn't known to go complain, I could have spent sixty years there. Why would people take that chance? The only ones that do are ones that really want to help humans - or really want to scare them. Ending gags will help humans. It'll mean nicer demons are taking summons. It's gags that put people in danger, and the strike will make you safer. I really believe that, or I wouldn't be doing it. But still, if you're going to keep gagging demons, the nice demons are all going to be working for people who don't do that. And I want to make sure that summoners are warned about that."

It isn't like he couldn't have been kept in a closet and ungagged.

"I could've screamed for help! And when the police came I could have told them I wasn't okay."

...soundproofing?

Is an additional barrier to keeping terrified fourteen year olds in your storeroom for years at a time. 

A pedant points out that he would have stopped being fourteen after less than one year.

Giggle. "True. Next video'll be dragons, I promise. But this is really important to me, I had a lot of time exhausted and hungry and alone to think about it, and when you see it in the news you'll know how it started."

And lots of people can now start summoning random demons. Ungagged.

...and if there can be a goldmage in Milliways, just in case...

Cir's aunt is still available.

He asks Bright to pay for it. 

He decides he can Transfigure his wings up a size later, it's time he had them. He goes for ones in Ravenclaw house colors, blue and bronze. He can't get them working so he takes a broomstick to fly around laying out stacks of paper with nearly complete circles. He looks at entries in the 'this demon declines to be gagged' fashion contest, picks one out to wear even though he's not taking summons. 

He tells the Elves to start.

He is starting to see why Timothy likes people stuff. It can be kinda thrilling.

"You wanna be taught to fly or figure it out?"

(Demons start appearing.)

"I couldn't figure it out, by all means teach me."

(Demons can have Polyjuice potion or bags that are magically bigger on the inside or they can bring back pets for the Valar to render unaging or they can give summoners interests the summoners can take into Bar for media recommendations from 'more than a dozen dimensions!' or get on lists for future projects or have fairy or angel acquaintances summoned or go play with the dragons...)

So Cam teaches him to fly.

Demons are so!! excited!! about free stuff!!

"How many demon summons a day in Revelation -" a wobbly Minor asks Cam.

"For randoms? Maybe a couple thousand."

"Is there a convenient way to check what the wait time is now like, if you're using a gag -"
