"I do not think that would help."

"They wouldn't care about the context? Or wouldn't believe you?"

Permalink

"I'm pretty sure they'd discard the correspondence unread."

"...how exactly do you conduct trials for people you believe to have supernatural persuasive abilities -"

Permalink

"They have a binding for demons that doesn't let them talk but does let them conjure excruciatingly well-specified materials so they can produce written replies to questions but nothing extraneous."

Permalink

"Charming. For some reason I imagined future societies more merciful, not just more precisely and systematically cruel."

Permalink

"They're a lot more merciful to humans. Also the prison is itself perfectly nice apart from the binding."

Permalink

"I'd take being chained to a wall eating maggots while able to talk to people."

"Yes, well, you're an extrovert."

Permalink

"You don't win points for your prisons meeting some objective standard of niceness if a substantial chunk of the population you're storing there would for reasons related to the conditions rather be literally tortured."

Permalink

"I'm not defending the gag, but they're not doing it specifically to be dicks."

Permalink

"I know." Sigh. "They're not, like, prohibiting summoning demons at all or anything?"

Permalink

"No. But they have my name and they're keeping an eye out for any circles for me."

Permalink

" - are they worried people'll try to summon you in particular for murders they want carried out?"

Permalink

"No, that they'd summon me unsafely or even just prevent me from being tried and penned up in Ganymede."

Permalink

"Well. Current summoner is an Elf, right, they won't die."

Permalink

"Might dismiss me when somebody shows up on the planet where I stashed him to fetch the people there and he finds out what happened."

Permalink

"Do you object to having Maitimo tell him not to -"

Permalink

Sigh. "It might not even work. He's a kid, I'm not sure 'don't want that demon gone for a minute all in a row' is an actionable instruction."

Permalink

"What if you get a door to your house in Hell, have someone hold it, get dismissed and come back through..."

Permalink

"Dunno. Might work."

Amentans cleared for a Revelation colony planet are assembled. They have a fairy escort a demon out to past Neptune and a demon make a lightleaper there and they start sending small groups of people.

Permalink

It takes Revelation twelve hours to notice in a media-detectable way and then they are so excited!!! There is a way to travel!!!

Permalink

Are people bothering the shuttling colonists.

Permalink

Some people do in fact figure out where they are and attempt to accost some.
