You mean the dead showed up before trading and collecting souls was a currency?
They weren't brought there?
I never considered there might be a precursor to that system.
[Fascinating. Were human souls an invasive species?]

Souls are enticed to one particular side over another
Usually through significant effort from either parties
There must be some benefit to the numbers
[What else would that entail?]
I'd call that currency
Or
is it more like filing and sorting for you?

Basically no one can actually get to Earth anyway. Not much we can do to influence any living humans one way or another. And really, who cares for most of them?
Demons used to fight over getting interesting contracts, for those who were already coming in, but most humans aren't notorious enough to get attention from anyone.
For us, it was just all about position. You work your way into more interesting work one way or another, do a good job, climb the ladder - you've got more weight to throw around.
