Spring, Week One Day One The old witch apologized for the state of the cottage, but I’m just glad to have a place to start over. One that comes with equipment is a bonus! It’s a lovely cottage. I’m still not sure if I should do the Calling. Maybe if I’d done it sooner I wouldn’t have to start ov...

@rowyn
So, umm, what are the demon rules in this 'verse, and how well does Cassie know them? In some genres/'verses, if Peia were fae, she's just done Cassie a favor at her request, and is owed one in return. (And some fae gain power just by interacting with mortals and their wants/dreams.) Demons most often require bargains, but that varies a lot ...

Rowyn May 22, 2023

@kelkyag Cassie: "Doesn't work that way with demons, no. The more powerful fae and sometimes other magical beings, yes, though usually it needs to be more consequential."

@rowyn
So how does it work with demons, here?

Anke May 23, 2023

@kelkyag @rowyn FWIW, as a reader I'd totally buy that it doesn't matter how it works usually, because the wards Peia is behind also neutralise that. :)

Rowyn May 23, 2023

@Anke @kelkyag 💜

Cassie: "Demons manipulate their victims into doing what the demon wants and thinking that it is the victim's own idea."

Cassie: "Which, yes, means that it was almost certainly Peia's idea that I come read to her and I only thought it was my idea."

Cassie: "And there's something nefarious about it that I'm missing. Possibly just that it's getting me used to the idea of treating a demon like a friend instead of a hostile force."

Kelkyag May 23, 2023

@rowyn @Anke
Peia wanted Cassie to talk to her, and to come back, but I don't think she suggested reading specifically. As long as the romances steer clear of demonology, perhaps it's fine? Better than gossip about real people, which Cassie's been carefully avoiding.

Been there, played that NPC. (Not a demon, but not shy about having different ethics than most of the PCs, willing to help when their interests overlapped, and to nudge them in her direction when convenient.)
