call me maybe

Cam is out flying. There's a decent cloud of atmosphere around the gold plane, now, millenia of demons making air around themselves for comfort and not sealing it up because why would you bother. There's a small forest, here - the effect is kind of ruined by the lamps it has to grow under, but it's still pretty.

He feels an open summons and lets it grab him -

"Well, that sounds..."

[manofmyword]

"Thematically appropriate?"

[from_scratch]

"Mm-hm."

[mylegalname]

"We're here," John mentions for the benefit of the guests, and indeed immediately turns onto the street containing the Joker's shabby-looking apartment building.

[from_scratch]

"What-all things are on your shopping list, Tony?" inquires Cam.

[allthebrightest]

"Still kind of torn about that, actually. I can't decide which I want more, the shiny toys or the facilities to make more shiny toys. Think I'm gonna go for a little of both. Modulo what can fit in the Joker's living room."

[from_scratch]

Cam snorts. "Sure."

[allthebrightest]

"Best demon."

[from_scratch]

"Did you even summon any demons when you were alive?"

[allthebrightest]

"No way. Angels and fairies. I am very protective of my shiny toys and didn't want anybody making more of 'em. I'm kinda more relaxed about that now, and also, you're the best demon."

[from_scratch]

"So you have probably never, ever met a demon before, how do you know I'm the best one?"

[allthebrightest]

"I have too met demons, I've been to a concordance. Also, I'm exaggerating, duh."

[from_scratch]

"I've never even tried to get near a Heavenly concordance. There are some deeply anti-angel folks who make it more trouble than it's worth."

[allthebrightest]

"Same deal on our side. But my fellow ex-summoner wanted to see what they were like, so I came along to back her up."

[from_scratch]

"Maybe I'll send you a letter next time we get Fairyland. Hi, Tony, how are you, I am still a demon."

[mylegalname]

John parks the car in the garage next to its decrepit quasi-twin.

[allthebrightest]

"I'll send you one too! Hi, Cam, what's up, I'm still an angel, what colour did you make your new wings?"

[from_scratch]

"Of course, it depends on fairies to accomplish the extremely challenging task of mail."

[allthebrightest]

"Yeah, it might take years for me to find out what colour your new wings are."

[from_scratch]

"It will certainly take years, unless I'm mistaken about when you get Fairyland relative to us. Unless our summoners decide to sit on us here for long enough that I make myself a set. I'll probably just keep the color, anyway."

[allthebrightest]

"Aww, but this is your chance to try something new!"

[from_scratch]

"I like blue, and I can probably pull off a color change with careful bleach and repigmentation anyway, and I'll get funny looks if I show up with non-bat wings and if I change the shape much I'll have to re-learn how to fly, so it's probably gonna be the same. Why, what are you going to do next, pink polka-dots?"

[allthebrightest]

Tony grins.

"You'll see."

They have been getting out of the car and climbing the stairs all this time, and now they are at the Joker's window again! She hops in.

[from_scratch]

Cam follows. "Let's see the to-do list."

[allthebrightest]

"The first thing you're gonna make me," she says, beaming, "is my new wings."

She proceeds to outline a list of things, all of which exist back home in the form of detailed blueprints but have not yet been given physical form. Apart from what she refers to as her new wings, it's all infrastructure - the facilities to make facilities to make things with. It's very complicated, and her blueprints are very exact.
