Countries with real penalties get to go first. But that is, legally speaking, adequate, and eventually they'll get their turn.

Permalink

No one is inspired by having to wait a bit longer to prosecute clean citizens more aggressively.

Permalink

Maybe in a hundred years they'll be ashamed of themselves. 

 

He pays attention when Tapa gets to Peka's neighborhood.

Permalink

Outwardly it's a very normal red neighborhood. Everybody presents themselves for cleaning. Peka has beads in her hair.

Permalink

They get morph instructions and babies get tapped and cleanable possessions can go here for cleaning and they can read up on places they might want to live.

Permalink

Peka and her family want to live in Ambarona!

Permalink

There is a shuttle right over there!

Permalink

She'll meet them there. She scoops up Katin and -

- keys are mysteriously not working.

...they go to Ambarona anyway.

Permalink

Ambaróna is pleased to meet them and has little bracelets that do currency and emergency services.

Permalink

Do her keys work here?

Permalink

They do!

Permalink

Great. She goes to her apartment and attempts to learn its address.

Permalink

The nearest subway stop is Palace and there's an elevator directly from the subway stop to her building.

Permalink

Do the keys put her back where her family is if she squeezes them again?

Permalink

Inconveniently, no, they take her back to the nondescript valley that she would pass through apartment-visiting from Tapa.

Permalink

Well, she'll have to figure out the long way, then.

Permalink

There are helpful resettlement people around to get her family to whatever housing arrangements they have set up or help them make arrangements if needed.

Permalink

Are they going to be confused about Peka already having a place?

Permalink

If they are surprised that Peka already owns a five-bedroom luxury apartment in the most expensive neighborhood in the most expensive city on the sixteenth-most-expensive planet in the multiverse they mostly hide it. 


On Peka's pillow there are concert tickets.

Permalink

Oooh, how many?

Permalink

Five (and a note that says 'babies welcome + free'.)

Permalink

Then she and her parents and Apef and Shahn will show up, Katin slung to Peka's back.

Permalink

It's a very large concert hall. They have extraordinarily good seats. The singer is one of the Elf princes, apparently.

Permalink

Eeeeeeeee.

Katin sits in her lap and waves her arms.

Permalink

The Elf prince is a kind of extraordinary singer.

 

She might recognize his voice, actually, from the beads.
