"You obviously teasing me and enjoying this immensely?"

Permalink

"Oooooh, that. I'll have to watch my tells in the future, clearly."

Permalink

"Yup, you do. For when you are in the very specific situation of having a prudish summoner that is concerned about misinformation about mortals."

Permalink

"Should I not be expecting to see a lot of that situation?"

Permalink

"Well, obviously it will have to be a different summoner, because I am onto you, mister."

Permalink

"I am caught! Alas!"

Permalink

"Yup! But at least you know for the next time you get summoned by a prude who doesn't gag you immediately."

Permalink

"Someday in the distant future perhaps I shall use this information."

Permalink

"That's the spirit!"

Permalink

"I am a very spiritual demon," he jokes.

Permalink

"Are you now? ... You know, I realize that you're joking, but I'm honestly rather curious about if demons are religious at all!"

Cam bursts out laughing.

"As a rule," he manages after a little while, "no. I'm not going to say you won't find an oddball who is, but not me and not anybody I've had that depth of conversation with."

She giggles. "I figured, considering you are all super magic, but - hey, new culture I haven't had contact with, I have nothing to base it off of!"

"We mooch off human culture a lot. There are demons making music and writing books and stuff, but we make ourselves lots of human media when we know how to find it."

Permalink

"Thus, the datastick that will have music for you, and the book list," agrees Adana. "Makes sense."

Permalink

"Yeah, although we can make a lot of headway even without things like that. For a long time I conjured physical newspapers because they came out regularly and looked for bestseller lists. Then physical newspapers went completely extinct, of course, you've probably never seen one."

Permalink

"Never in my life, no. Uh - well, it's not really a solution for when you're back in Hell, but while you're here you can visit lots of news sites on the extranet. I'm not a bad boss, you can look at the news while you're here. Or funny cat pictures."

Permalink

"Still full of funny cat pictures! That's heartening."

Permalink

"Cam. Come on now. It's the extranet. Of course it's full of funny cat pictures."

Permalink

"Like I said, heartening! Something would be truly wrong if you gave humans a massive communication network and they did not fill it with cats."

Permalink

Adana giggles. "Yeah, I'd be worried for our souls if there wasn't a single cat to be seen."

Permalink

"Ah, you and your worrying about souls."

Permalink

"I don't know what they do but people keep writing about them, so I am concerned about them!"

Permalink

"Because of course all their writing is thoroughly well-informed, unbiased, well-researched, empirically grounded...?"

Permalink

"... Okay I feel like you are hinting that they either do absolutely nothing or don't exist."
