"I think you cannot rule it out. You do recall I'm currently planning to turn over a farm province to invaders who are upset that reds touched their food."

"...yeah, right, there's that. I—summoning gives people immortality, it—feels wrong to not give it to everyone—"

"There are more lives to be lost to mishandling than to prejudicial handling."

Permalink

She sighs but nods.

Permalink

"I appreciate your pragmatism."

Permalink

"I gotta shut up and multiply, actually helping as many people as possible is more important than—moral righteousness."

Permalink

Nod.

They can interview some more demons, then.

There are terraforming hobbyists and their next random doesn't know any or how to get ahold of them but the one after that does and then they have a terraforming hobbyist. She's over the moon, so to speak.

Permalink

And is she okay with working with angels?

Permalink

"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."

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."
