"I mean, as long as you weren't making Silmarils that'd be pretty much an acceptable outcome."

"But how would you know I wasn't dropping them everywhere? I guess you could have summoned another demon for forensics..."

Permalink

"Uh, no. We'd follow you."

"...I can fly. Well, not right now, I wanted to go out in public without having to wear a snazzy leather coat everywhere, but at the time, I could fly."

Permalink

"One of my brothers went in on the fading thing and is now mostly immaterial and can hoverboard."

Permalink

"...being immaterial does not fully explain the, uh, hoverboard -"

Permalink

"Oh, it just turns out that hoverboard is an easy engineering challenge once you only weigh twenty pounds."

Permalink

"Okay. Does it actually go fast enough to chase me across a continent at fifty miles an hour?"

Permalink

"I think it gets up to faster than fifty. Elves need to sleep once a week or so, though."

Permalink

"I do not miss needing to sleep at all. I had to develop a taste for coffee though."

Permalink

"Tea won't do it?"

Permalink

"I experimented with tea but coffee's easier to jazz up with add-ins, I eased my way into it with mochas. I also tried caffeine pills but the thing where I can nope a drug reaction is all or nothing and I really hate having taken too much to the point where I didn't want to futz around with figuring out my dose, coffee I can just keep drinking it till I'm done."

Permalink

"Are there, like, guides to all this in Hell?"

Permalink

"To - what, coffee beverages?"

Permalink

"Stuff you can do, the fact that caffeine fixes tiredness, is there something similar for fatigue from exertion..."

Permalink

"Exertion fatigue just heals. Caffeine I knew before I died, a fairy wanted Starbucks."

Permalink

"How long were you summoning before Revelation -"

Permalink

"Couple years. I knew I wanted to do it but I wanted anonymity and simultaneity and believability, needed to abridge and annotate the book and learn more about daeva."

Permalink

"Do you know why no one ever -"

Permalink

"...beat me to it? The number of summoners was tiny and it would have probably been prohibitively difficult to publicize worldwide in times of lower literacy rates. Plus it just got a lot harder to monopolize commodities markets by secretly trading demons the URLs of obscure fanfiction sites."

Permalink

"Now that you're indestructible do you plan to go public about having done it?"

Permalink

"I guess I could, but I'm not sure why I would?"

Permalink

"Fifteen minutes of fame and a platform?" 

Permalink

"Maybe if I think of a really good use of a platform that I definitely want to spend my fifteen minutes on."

Permalink

"Makes sense. So, we are currently retrieving all the Silmarils and once we've done that and we know how much magic they restore, we'll have a more detailed plan on where to go from there. Also now that it's possible to get to Valinor we might want to try to sneak a note in or something."
