"Well. Okay, hopefully it doesn't cause too much religious upheaval."

"That I think we can handle by just not calling them 'angels'. A bunch of winged people are going to show up."

"Fair. But they might identify themselves as angels to onlookers. So."

"We can include as the task that they should please not talk with the people from the - superhero twins world."

"Let's just call it Gemini."

"Agreed. It's easier that way, we've already got the theme going on, there. Gemini everything."

"Mm. Should only people that don't have a tricky afterlife do the summoning? I've already done it, doesn't matter if I summon other things, but if, say, Cypress were to summon something - we have no idea how that would go, with his funky magic."

"Uh, explain?"

"In Inferno, our world, some daeva are ex-humans, like me and Revival. The way you get to be a daeva instead of a Limboite with way fewer cool powers is by being a summoner when you're alive. Humans from other worlds have not shown up in our afterlife quartet - yet - but it could still be that summoning daeva plugs you in to the system. So, if you have something you'd rather be than a daeva-possibly-with-other-stuff-pruned-away, you should not summon things - since Ice can resurrect people - but Max is already a done deal."

"Unfortunately, that rules out me, the mages, the spellbinders - we already have enough to worry about with them - and, I suppose, the twins, because who knows how that works. The daeva can't. So we have Max who's already involved, we have Spring who can probably be re-blessed - though maybe someone should ask Rae to check pretty please if he can bless daeva. We have Idania, maybe, if the answer is yes."

"I'll go see if he's around, and failing that, ask Idania." Off goes Spring.

Rae's not around in his manifested form, but Idania's outside of her house, drawing out various runes and muttering to herself.

"Hey, Idania, we need to know for reasons if gods can bless daeva, can you talk Rae into trying with Revelation or Revival?"

"I can ask him to check if he can, he'll answer if he can or can't but isn't likely to actually bless either of them unless he sees a valid reason that they give him. Close enough?"

"Yeah, if we can count on his can-I-bless-them detector working definitely for sure. The reason we want to know is that we want to summon lots of angels to get rid of ash clouds in the new world we just contacted, and people who summon daeva are known to turn into daeva after death, and so we want only people whose powers are recoverable if they turn into daeva doing that. That's basically me, and you, and Max who's already done it whether it'll interact weird with him being a peryton or not."

"Ooo. Yeah, that's a valid reason." She addresses a sand vial. "Hey, Rae, people who summon daeva become daeva after they die. We're not sure how it messes with blessings or if they can be blessed. Want to test it on Adana and Cam?" Pause. "Yeah, that convinced him. Give him a bit, he'll come check."

"Cool. Do you want to help with the angel flock thing if you can?"

"Sure! If I get to keep my blessings, no downsides to becoming any sort of daeva. Actually a lot of upsides. Plus, helping."

"Don't, like, commit suicide after summoning the angels, we don't know if this works for people who aren't from Inferno. But yeah, that's my thinking."

"I wasn't planning to suicide, not to worry. It would be painful and upsetting for everyone involved."

Yay, Belfry!

"I will refrain from the temptation to enter stunt flying competitions. Thanks."

"It wasn't for you," shrugs Rae. "But you're welcome."
