Rebecca's life is so awesome.

"...so, again?"

Permalink

"Yes please sir!"

"Apparently the woman who founded the GCP is a demon. Lilie Ho. I want Sybil on call but I expect she'd take checking for worldleapers appropriately seriously."

Permalink

"Makes sense. Did she show up for a summons? Should I go bug her?"

Permalink

"Thought we'd start with a letter, though it'll be worth dropping by if we can't seem to get in touch otherwise."

Permalink

"Do you have her mail label or should I figure it out?"

Permalink

"Not public, sorry, go ahead and dig around."

Permalink

Dig dig dig. It's a string of hanzi that do not form a sentence, possibly chosen randomly.

Permalink

"None of the other candidates were nearly as appealing, I hope that doesn't mean she just hates talking."

 

And they draft a message.

Her reply comes a day later. I am elsewhere employed at this time but appreciate your inquiry.

Permalink

Do you think you could make the time to talk anyway? It's important and there are very few suitable candidates.

Permalink

I cannot accept summonses at this time but may be reached in person at the GCP office in Singapore if you should care to visit in person and await a lull in my work.

An employee shows the somebody to Lillie's forensics office.

Is she in the middle of something?

Permalink

Not right now!

"Hi! I'm representing Vanda Nossëo, we wrote you a few days ago..."

Permalink

"Hello."

Permalink

She closes the door, checks if there's a message from Sybil. "There is a conjurable means of travelling between worlds."

Permalink

Frown.

"There are, as far as we can tell, infinitely many worlds. I know there's been discussion in Hell of the bizarre phenomenon where conjuring for all worlds doesn't get anything new but then a few years later someone new will show up, with a long established history; this is because of a phenomenon called adjacency, where some worlds neighbor each other and some do not. Travel of any kind is only possible between adjacent worlds. Summoning works in the worlds adjacent to the daeva realms. The three new worlds that started summoning recently are ones whose stars were destroyed and who we brought over so they're now in range. There's a transit network, extranet, and political associations among many worlds in the multiverse. Endorë and this Earth have been left ignorant of it because it would be extraordinarily dangerous for the means of conjurable dimensional travel to become widely known in Hell."

"Why are you telling me this?"

Permalink

"It has been obvious for a while that keeping the existence of other worlds secret forever isn't sustainable, and we think we have a better way, but it would require someone routinely checking for worldleapers."

Permalink

"I do not have any demon colleagues I can recommend to you."
