They nod. They want to try out the train. They wander through the park. They take lots of pictures.

He checks in with his emissary teams.

One country has been attempting to phase out its reds by carefully rotating purples through their jobs and extensively decontaminating them after.

Good for them! And the reds-

Have been driven out of the test city with some casualties!

He makes a mental note to ask the Vanda Nossëo outreach teams how they manage not to get horribly cynical and loathe everybody. Where are the reds who made it out -

He has a reds outreach person. He sends her to visit. 

 

 

She appears with a faint 'pop' and looks around.

Everybody who was outdoors runs indoors.

By this point that was practically predictable. She sits down and waits.

She waves.

She's probably the more patient party but - 

"Is anybody injured or sick? I have medicine."

One person steps onto their porch and stares from there.

" - you do have to get closer than that for the medicine. Look, you probably don't have Internet access so you haven't heard all about it, but you saw the ships in the sky, right? We're aliens. We're aliens who have made contact with your planet. We have lots of nice things and we don't have a caste system. We're not going to hurt you. Even if you hurt us we're not going to hurt you. We can do food and medicine and we can take you to planets that want you, if you'd like that."

Permalink

"Uh, I doubt I have anything you know but if you give me a shopping list I can go get it and be right back."

Permalink

...he chews his lip and looks at his pocket everything and starts listing stuff.

She has memory blessings and doesn't write it down and teleports home in a right hurry and knocks on the demon neighbor's door again -

      "Almarë? Are you okay?"

"- work might be getting to me a little bit can I have the following list of alien medications I owe you one -"

      "Don't you ever summon someone and say that," he says sternly, and gives her the medications. 

She teleports back.

He jumps.

Permalink

" - sorry. Got everything." She holds it out.

Permalink

"...you can put it down..."
