The Valar announce that they've done as much as they can in Singularity (they can't bring back peoples' babies in that critical period either, but they can get them earlier versions) and are setting up portals between there and Sanity as soon as they are confident they've cleaned up the plague. A bunch of Elf architects have this wild idea for a fivedimensional city where alternating intersections are interdimensional portals between various Valinors and they get eagerly to setting it up.
Closer investigation reveals it's just formatting edits on stuff he wrote a while ago.
Fine. If police reports are locked how would Timothy be expected to know if the police were looking for him -
They'd email him, if he had a legal existence and this was not deemed an unsafe tipoff. And come to his house, if it wasn't in another dimension.
Inconvenient for the police.
He flies. He bothers Aaron for a list of tasks off that website screened for being good uses of his time. Aaron came up with one a week ago, of course.
He asks Cam to hold the door into the house Maitimo now owns, and he goes off to the nearest task on the list.
He flies over! It's slower that way but fun. And moving again is kind of therapeutic. He lands at the address and goes in.
"Um," says someone.
"Where's Cinnamon, she can do parlor tricks -"
"It's too damn early in the morning to have to call the cops on an unaccompanied demon!"
"Sorry, I don't want to scare you, I just want to put up the buildings. The binding's fine. Who do I talk to about the buildings?"
"Buildings?"
"Where's Cinnamon!?"
"She's late again -"
"I didn't know demons could talk."
"You had a listing for a demon to put up some buildings. I can wait, it's fine. Want anything while I'm here?"
"This is about the buildings?" blinks somebody. "That's Jess's thing, uh, your, uh, summoner is supposed to click the thing on the site to accept a bid..."
"...your summoner's supposed to -"
"Oh maybe he's one of those people who just got a demon to make him wings? I think they work on people normally?"
"Why can't Cinnamon be the fuck on time."
"I'm a demon, I'm just a self-employed demon. I can just make you a copy of the binding if you want to read it before Cinnamon gets here? It's safe. Though I've gotten summoned unbound and that was also safe because I'm a good person."
"Hi! I took the bid to put up some buildings for you. My summoner decided to stay home, wasn't feeling well. Do you still want the buildings?"
She stares at him for a long time and then says, "Child... labor... laws?"
