Then we can totally fix the being chained to the wall. Sorry. I don't think it bothers Beka and you look so - identical.

She sounds like I sound in recordings, too. Maybe I wouldn't mind if I had been raised in some kinda torture castle. I mean, reds get a lot of shit but when we're at home we're at home...

Elves can't tolerate being imprisoned, we get steadily more stressed and then we die.

That's kind of weird. In some respects Tapa is progressive on reds; they bother having a red prison.

...what do most places do?

Oh most places if a red has police attention they probably just die.

That happens in Tapa too if someone wanders out of district or is suspected of harming a clean person or something but if it's some little thing that doesn't involve a grey mad at a red right in the moment, like red-on-red crime or some kind of tax problem, there's a jail for it.

Well that's horrifying.

Yep. People hate reds and really want to invent robots so they can murder them all.

Gets better and better.

So whenever reds catch wind of roboticists they go kill them and they die doing it almost all the time.

Well. Maybe after we kill the gods we'll have figured out how to go visit your world.

Amenta will want to colonize all their prairies any way they can.

Well, if they're going to get over their murder hobby that'd be fine.

Tapa's the only country that kills babies.

I was talking about the reds thing too.

Oh, that, everyone does that.

So no prairies for them until they stop.

Good luck.

The hard part of this problem is the 'once we have killed our gods', I actually bet the part after that would go fine.

Yeah, killing gods sounds hard. How do you do it?

We don't really have a plan. Probably not with guns or pocket everythings but maybe they can help somehow. Maybe pretty girls will continue to drop until one knows how to do it.

She snorts. Is his type just 'people who look exactly like her'?

It's the singing much more than the looks.
