"What're the jobs -"

"Anything to do with dead bodies or garbage or wastewater."

"Could just give 'em robots."

"Every now and then someone suggests that and we riot because we do not wish to be slaughtered as redundancies."

" - so no robots until we've gotten you all out? Or at least gotten permission to take you all?"

"Yeah pretty much."

"Okay. Unless your governments are remarkably hard to work with we can still probably get them all resettled by the end of the year."

"I've never tried, can't help you with that."

"You can help me by knowing about problems I might not think of - like, most societies would not slaughter suddenly-redundant citizens, we might have been taken aback by that if we'd just met them and handed them lots of technology -"

"We're unclean, if we aren't needed to handle other unclean things they wouldn't want us to be anywhere at all."

"Well. Are you pretty much self-policing and self-governing, we could just drop everybody on a nice temperate planet with a set of pens for everyone -" he gestures at the laser pointers he said summon demons - "or we could integrate them into existing communities."

"There's some interface people but we could mostly self-organize, it's just none of us know how to farm or manufacture anything..."

"Demons can make arbitrary material objects. It's just a question of what'll produce the healthiest and happiest communities - your mother seemed skittish around me but I don't know if that means you'd integrate badly if it were announced properly and done more formally -"

"...you are an alien of unidentifiable caste and she couldn't figure out why you were in a red neighborhood. Demons sound useful - you said they need negotiating though -"

"Demons are typically paid in sex or music or other media - or the opportunity to raise children - since you can't really trade them stuff. It's not hard to find some who want something you have, if you're willing to be a bit patient with it, and we've got a list of ones who like learning languages - uh, when a demon is summoned they learn the languages you speak, and the ones on the list would be happy to make you things just for some token payment because the really exciting thing is the new language and all the new media they can accordingly understand."

"Oh, neat! Gosh, I am not at all dressed to exchange sex for stuff unless the demons kink on military uniforms."

" - you're not trading demons sex for things, you're mine, I just stole you. That pen gets someone who likes my music and will do your shopping list for a song."

"Oh! Okay."

"You will probably want clothes that aren't a military uniform on that shopping list, though."

"Suggestions?"

"I can set you up on the computer and you can look up local fashions, see what suits? I like things that are dramatic. And dislike the color blue."

"Gosh, you're gonna hate my planet's government then. It's okay for me to touch the computer?"

"It is okay for you to touch all of the things! Except the demons."

"No demon-seducing for me, got it."

"Once we know each other better maybe I can be brought around on seducing demons. But I haven't even kissed you yet."
