They don't design their theatre recordings with demons in mind but they've got perfectly modern camera and video technology and so forth.

Sigh. "Yeah, okay, I'll take my chances on the sex and like, five a' these? For forensics and your fairy."

"Deal."

She looks around the garden. "You into fucking outdoors or are we going someplace?"

"House is that way."

Thataway she goes.

It's a big house. Out in the countryside; city blue estates aren't cramped but they certainly aren't sprawling. A housekeeper glances quizzically at him; he ignores her. There are guest rooms. He finds a guest room.

And now he has a naked demon looking at him expectantly.

Permalink

He is not disappointing in bed.

Permalink

Oh good!

Permalink

And then he can recommend some more shows.

"Cool. So who do you want me to find?"

"Last year -" he can give a date - "Olvala expelled all their reds from the city of Lathande. Shoulda been like three hundred of them. Some of them made it to neighboring cities, some of them tried to cross the border and got shot, some of them stole a boat and washed up on a neighbor's coast and got shot, some of them fled into the countryside and it wasn't worth anyone's time to track 'em down. It's winter now so they might all have starved but if any of them are still alive..."

"Uh, mkay..." She makes a series of little models. "Yeah there's some alive. Here they are." Little map-model with a flag in.

"Thanks. I'm gonna get the fairy now." He has circles rolled up in his backpack. He unrolls one.

Demon waits.

Fairy appears. "Hi. ...what language is this?"

Permalink

"Anitami, and the ones I'm mediocre at are Tapap and Oahk and archaic Ioleen."

Permalink

"Never heard of 'em."

Permalink

"I bet. We're in a different universe. Planet's called Amenta. It's kind of a long story."

Permalink

"Whoa."

Permalink

"Uh huh. Anyway! There are a bunch of people starving or freezing to death or both in this place -" demon-map, globe-on-his-pocket-everything map - "and I want to go do something about it, she can pay you, are you in?"

Permalink

"Uh, I might get lost, on a new planet, but I could try."

Permalink

"It's okay if we wander around a little as long as we're way high up. Might need to make a couple trips, depending what they need once we're there." - to the demon - "you wanna come and hang out until medical angels are needed?"

Permalink

"Sure," says the demon, "traveling by fairy's a fun time."

Permalink

"Cool. What do you want, then," to the fairy, "for potentially a couple trips around on this planet -"
