"Probably."

"Then maybe we can work with that. We'd need a lot of them."

"There are a lot of them, although how many are qualified will depend on how different you are from humans."

"Makes sense." Sigh. "I will see if the greens doing research for a proposal like that can adapt it for the existence of magic. I don't suppose an angel can, like, replace every cell in someone's body with the same thing made out of different atoms?"

"...uh, angels unlike demons have to do their own detail work but it can be on the level of tissue, so I guess they could? I'm guessing, I did demon med school not angel med school."

"If they can do that then it's an easy sell. We can also have some standards creep - do it really stringently for a few people, let everyone get used to the idea, then lower the standards once they're accustomed and would feel silly making a fuss now..."

Nod.

"Should I go find out whether our people become demons and angels and fairies when they die."

"Might be relevant."

"What do I need to have them do."

"They have to summon somebody. Then you can try summoning them."

"And how do you summon somebody."

"You draw on the floor. I can do most of it and you can fill it in."

"The person who fills it in is relevantly the summoner?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. I'm not going to tell people that we can become daeva if we die just yet, everyone over twenty will kill themselves and then we'll have an immortal indestructible ruling class."

"...mm-hm. Uh. If you do become daeva could you just let all the reds summon before you kill them?"

"They'd get all the daeva icky."

"I left a corpse and appeared de novo in Hell. I no longer have a genome. If it were really important for some reason I could be set on fire and come out okay from that."

"I think I could argue that daeva of reds aren't themselves unclean but the reds would be summoning them, meaning they'd get unclean, and I don't think they'd all be persuadable to set themselves on fire so as not to track pollution back home."

"You don't have to touch a daeva to summon them."

"You have to fill in the circle, right?"

"Yes, and then the daeva appears in the middle of the circle, which is filled in at the border."

"It's a real stretch. And would require explaining that people become daeva when they die."

"I don't see how it's a stretch. You can have most of the circle slid under a wall, if you like."
