"Nope."

"We could bring everything to the attention of Hell, probably the fastest way to get information about all the aliens and what they're up to."

"Hell is great that way."

"It's amazing! And I'd worry about species that hatch or whatever but that train's already left the station and so far they're being quite responsible about it - and hopefully it'll turn out those people daevafy too -"

"I hope so, their parents will be so upset if they can't."

"Poor daeva who want kids. I'm so glad they have options now."

"If it had been realistic I would've wanted to keep egg-laying sapients off general hellish radar but so far so good. At least the GCP is being cooperative."

"Saniah likes them, finds them competent and well-intentioned. We probably have low standards but still."

"I've never had the pleasure and probably shouldn't if I can avoid it," says Cam blandly.

"Mmmhmm. Are Elves likely to want to participate in foreign adventurism, do you think."

"The ones from Valinor are less likely but you could hike over to Endorë and some of those probably would, I can get another ten days of resurrections in."

"It doesn't sound like we're in any hurry but at some point, yeah, might be good. Do you want to write something up to get the attention of Hell with this or should I -"

"I'd really rather not correspond with the general Hell population."

"I'm just going to send in an advertisement, but I suppose someone might check who sent it, fair enough."

"Yeah."

"Hell could avoid this problem by having a caste system but that would both require magic persuasive powers and be a bad use of them."

"...sorry, what problem would Hell avoid by having a caste system?"

"They could have channels of communication such that it'd more often be constructive for you to tell them things they'd want to know."

"I don't see how it would accomplish that."

"It's not reasonable to expect people to go make a running evaluation of every bad thing they hear about, right? But those evaluations do, in fact, need to get made. We solve this by designating people who are totally expected to have a reasonable nuanced updateable context-sensitive evaluation of all relevant recent history, and setting them up to succeed at that. If you don't have that, as far as I can tell you just don't get anybody doing that, it's not a role like 'teacher' or 'doctor' that has other forces bringing it into existence. ...I am not, to be clear, actually defending 'hereditary aristocracy' as the way to go here."

"Good, that would be really difficult to do with a species that mostly spontaneously generates."

"I'm eager to see what daevafication does to the Amentan social fabric, but regrettably it'll be confounded by ever so many other things."

"A bit."

"Were I a demon the lack of a centralized coordination authority for solving problems like 'we want people to talk to Cam who will be really good at it and we absolutely don't want anyone else talking to Cam' would drive me quite mad. I can imagine them retaining that. Or perhaps not, perhaps it's all premised on force and without that you really can't have governments, which will delight a bunch of political philosophers I know."

"Hell is anarchy. In many ways this is nice, in some it is not."
