Pretty well and you get to teleport, which is great.

Sounds handy.

He's vacationed so many cool places!

Purples will loiter and look at his vacation photos.

Eventually Cahmro comes back.

"Everything cool?"

"He was destroying the sofa. One day he's not gonna confine it to property damage and somebody's gonna have to cart him off before he stabs us in our sleep." Sigh.

"You don't think they can make him better?"

Permalink

"He's getting worse. I dunno. Maybe magic people can."

Permalink

"Maybe he has an alt somewhere who can guess what he'd consent to and stuff."

Permalink

"Didn't you say you'd need an excuse to look up yours?"

Permalink

"Yeah but one of 'em being crazy and wanting alt advice on medical treatment is an excuse."

Permalink

"Maybe. But he might not have any."

Permalink

"Yeah, might not. No other Amentas. - people sometimes have alts who aren't the same species, like they have some things the same - if I had an alt here I'm sure he'd be purple - but they can be a bit different and stuff. Sometimes they're genderswapped."

"He had an episode while his girlfriend was pregnant, that'd've been weird if they were switched. If there were still his girlfriend and Adro."

"Elf royal family's the same every time but I don't know about other kinds of alts who aren't just people on Earths." They do another neighborhood.

"Calado is like some kind of fucked up mirror universe of how democracy is supposed to work."

Permalink

"Huh?" asks Cahmro.

"Like, your blues took the best idea in history, the idea our forefathers fought and died for, and they managed to make it so meaningless no one even bothered participating in it. They took something where the whole point is to hear peoples voices and they used it to, like, train them how useless it was to talk."

"Democracy is the best idea in history?" asks Cahmro skeptically.

Permalink

"Real democracy. One person one vote democracy. And, like, the Bill of Rights and stuff, but I think they go together, they're all about making government accountable to the people."

Permalink

"What's the Bill of Rights?"

Permalink

"So when we were writing our Constitution we wrote it all and then some people were like 'great, that's a big list of things the government can do. What about a list of things the government can't do?' And they added the bill of rights which is rules about things the government can't do, no matter what, not if there's a war on, not if the President says so, not to anyone. Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion - I don't actually remember the other two, there're two more -" he looks them up -

"Weird. Very green," says Cahmro.

"Free press, anyone can own as many guns as they want, can't search your house except for evidence if they have good reason to think you committed a specific crime, jury trials..."
