An angel is summoned to Amenta
Permalink

She doesn't spend literally all her time answering summons here and there, but probably most of it. Not right now, though, right now she's taking a break, a nice bath, some cocoa, a good book...

Okay, break over, she gets out of the bath, puts some clothes on, and takes the first summons she feels.

And is she okay with working with angels?

"Like, how with," says the demon.

"Well, I expect terraforming places is probably easier when a changer can, you know, clean stuff up or modify the already existing things?" she says, in Voan for Avalor's benefit. "I wouldn't know, it not being my area of expertise, but it sounds like they'd help."

"If stuff needs disappeared the fluffbrains can come in later and disappear it," snorts the demon. "An empty planet isn't going to have anything much in the way. If it's radioactive or made of poison or something send the fluffbrains in first, there's no with."

Permalink

She laughs. "That's a very charming phrase, 'fluffbrains'. So you're saying there would be no call at all for simultaneous work?"

Permalink

"Don't see why. Fluffbrains are slow and pointless. We don't need 'em."

Permalink

"I'll take that under consideration."

Permalink

"We can make whole planets! You'd only start with one that was already there for like orbital mechanics reasons and to save a little time. If it's not radioactive or poison skip the fluffbrains unless you need teeny spot edits later 'cause the spec wasn't good."

Permalink

She nods. "That makes sense."

Permalink

"I can't wait, this is gonna be great. Planets for people!"

Permalink

"Yes! They're going be thrilled."

Permalink

Grinny demon.

And after Avalor dismisses her: "Did I mention that makers and changers are in general extremely prejudiced against each other? Because they are and it's stupid."

Permalink

"I see."

Permalink

"It's a whole thing—the four magical worlds every now and then have events called concordances where a certain bit of space exists simultaneously in two worlds, and concordances with the regular afterlife and the movers' world are fun, we trade stuff and send letters and all that, but when it's with the makers' world there's a stupid, pointless mini-war."

Permalink

"That seems unproductive."

Permalink

"Extremely so. So I kinda want to see if we can find changers who might have a similar hobby and if they don't have an—alternative opinion on how useful they are to the project."

Permalink

"I do not object."

Permalink

And it's probably harder to find terraformer angels but not impossible, right?

Permalink

Substantially harder, but eventually they find someone who agrees to look stuff up on Heaven's internet and come back in a couple hours to report. There are angels who know how to do atmosphere and landscaping and such, but none of them are really on a full terraforming scale and none have ever started with an uninhabitable planet and wound up with anything more than an arcology.

Permalink

How do they feel about working with demons, do they think they could contribute?

Permalink

Most of them would rather not.

Permalink

And the angels can't think of how they would be useful if they did want to be?

Permalink

Well, if the demons put bad, demony things on the planets, they could remove them. They'd be useful if there was a methane atmosphere or something, too.

Permalink

That makes sense. She is so grateful for their help and consultation!
