He's going to kill them they have to get away--
she commands it--
and then they are away and it occurs to her that she never specified where to. She slowly unclenches her arms from their death grip around her sister and looks around.
Odette and Illia land in Calado

"I'd show you my hair but honestly invisibility seems harder to fake than buying costume hair dye."

"Sometimes I wander around the city disguised as an Amentan and I hadn't figured out a better way to get in contact with reds when I spotted you."

"Uh. I don't know if this is what you had in mind but I need to pay off a child credit lease."

"Ah. If I give you a handful of precious gems can you sell them or is that likely to get you beaten to death for supposedly stealing them?"
touchme
"...also I don't know where I'd sell them, putting them through deceased personal effects' cleaning wouldn't get them anywhere that buys gems."

"Yeah, that's...a problem. I'm reluctant to counterfeit money--maybe I should ask the government what Odette's getting for the food thing, but then how do I get the money to you..."
sheerstubbornness
"How does that work? I'm a fantasy alien, not a sci-fi alien, my planet is preindustrial."
touchme
"...oh. Uh, if you have money it will be in a bank and if you have a pocket everything you can access your bank. If you had your everything on you now you could just use the fact that I'm right here, but if you don't you need my number..."

Illia discreetly writes it down. "--Hey I don't suppose you happen to know or could find out where they kill the babies."
touchme
"No idea. Red ones they probably don't bother taking them anywhere first and just shoot them where they are."
sheerstubbornness
"If there was any way you could find out--we were so angry when we found out Tapa kills babies, the only thing stopping my sister--she's more magic than me--from immediately rescuing any and all that needed it was the difficulty of finding where to rescue them from."
touchme
"I don't have any idea, they don't tell people. They had to move it once because the grey who was supposed to kill them was smuggling them out."
sheerstubbornness
"I thought if anyone would know it would be a red. We'll find out somehow else, then. Thank you anyway."
sheerstubbornness
"Yeah but you have a better chance of contacting them than I do, was the thought."
