"That's why I have it. Got gagged on a lot of summons, figured I might as well add an ungaggable dimension."

"Even if we don't start running shortages any time soon we may make it hard for Revelation to get gagged demons pretty soon, if demons decide they'd rather take the suddenly available summons on which they can talk."

"Yeah, that's how Iobel got one that T'Mir had already summoned, the demon in question was going around in a shirt with words on it to filter out gagged summonses."

"Think we should have pushed for 'demons can't actually take souls' instead of 'it doesn't look like they can take our souls'?"

"Harder sell and you can get most of the value from the latter, just have pro summoner Amentans around supplying demons."

"And probably eventually people will talk to their relatives and relax a little accordingly."

"Yes. Nice and gently."

"It's much better to accommodate peoples' silly theologically-tinged phobias than to tell them to get over them."

"It didn't initially look like gagging demons would get that much traction! But it kind of ballooned after I died."

"Wait, really? After people'd gotten accustomed to talking with them? What's the story there?"

"Not that many people had gotten so accustomed - it was only a few years post-Revelation, you don't need many demons for most of the simple applications because we can make so much so fast, a lot of the demons summoned genuinely did find it entertaining to ask for souls..."

"And then media hysteria?" Sigh.

"Pretty much. There were some ungagged summons but not enough that I ever got one."

"Not enough to make the t-shirt thing viable?"

"Not before my parents died, and after that it didn't matter as much."

Nod. "We can't figure out a way to force the door to Limbo, right -"

"I fiddled with it once to see if I could get Charlie's house in Limbo as well as his former house on Earth but I couldn't."

"Frustrating. - Limbo probably sounds more horrible to us than it actually is for humans, but..."

"It's pretty bad. It's not torturous but it's pretty bad. My parents got lucky."

"Everything else about your universe is so nice."

"Limbo would be nice if there were a way to get to and fro. One demon could make Limbo nice."

"But we're stuck hoping for a Milliways door." Sigh.

"Yep."

"At least now people know that summoning makes them daeva."

"Yup! So they will summon in the first place and can reunite some separated dead people."
