"Okay. Thank you! Let me know if you want to interview another demon and want to write to them first so they don't surprise you with their hair or anything, I can find their mail labels."

"I'll ask the King how he feels about there being more of them."

Permalink

"Okay. Should I meet the King or not or what?"

Permalink

"If you'd like to!"

Permalink

"Well, I don't know if he'd like to. If he doesn't want there to be more correspondence demons does that mean he also doesn't want my friends summoned here? I usually like to sleep every few days and I've never been able to do that on my own."

Permalink

" - I really expect he'll be all right with both but things that you need to be comfortable are more important than more correspondence things. Demons sleep in big heaps like sheep?"

Permalink

"I've never met a sheep. I don't need more than one friend with me but definitely at least one and it's just me who's like that, not most of us."

Permalink

"Well I expect it'll be fine."

Permalink

"Okay. They'll want to know when they need to be ready to visit, unless you just want to leave a live circle in the house for them to take whenever."

Permalink

"I should check with the King before I do that but then I can probably do that."

Permalink

"...how long does that take?"

Permalink

"Depends on how many other things are going on, but not very long at all."

Permalink

"I think we think different lengths of time are long so I would like to know about how many hours, in numbers."

Permalink

"...thirty?"

Permalink

"Okay. I won't be upset about not sleeping till then and then if he doesn't want my friends here I can just go home for a bit."

Permalink

"That sounds good!" And off she goes.

And Zota the new Valian correspondence demon sits in her temporary house and looks at its wall paneling and writes some letters.

"Thank fucking God," says Cam, the next time he checks his mail.

Permalink

"Hmmm?"

Permalink

"They have a correspondence demon! They were alarmed about her hairstyling habits - I think my attempt to translate that tidbit into Thoiga did not come out well, fucking machine translation - and they are trying to figure out a workaround for her not liking to have to be ten feet away from everybody all the time but she is otherwise pretty okay there!"

Permalink

"Oh good. Are we telling the Valar the world might end or no."

Permalink

"I don't know, would they listen and if they listened would they have a more productive response than amping up the isolationism?"

Permalink

"My guess on that would not be any more informed than yours."

Permalink

"My uninformed guess is that there should be at least a little example of non-doomy communication before we start in on the doom."

Permalink

"Sounds good."

Permalink

"They're doing the mail labels by city at first, what subdivisions by topic does that suggest -"
