"Depends almost entirely on what other resources Wolfram and Hart has, which is the other thing that makes this tricky."

"I'd let everyone go. Take all the company's money and give them all their share and a fake ID and tell them to go start over."

"I know you would."

"Karen would - 

She'd be really unhappy and probably a bunch of things would go badly but everyone who was trying to look after their dead sister's kids would get a transfer to some very safe city whose local demons are friendly. And vegetarians."

The other Karen will just be over here looking at the ground and feeling like a very poor example of herself. Who did not actually precisely notice that she was enslaved until about two minutes ago.

He clears a table in the room full of magic experiments for dinner.

"So what's the story?"

"There are so many I have no idea. It's very frustrating. I want to talk to our Angel."

"Is compensation at Wolfram and Hart below-market?"

"He means do they pay as well as secretary jobs that aren't evil."

"...I don't really know. I think other ones don't come with the not being specifically killed by vampires who don't want to upset anyone at the company."

"Why do we care -"

"It's pretty relevant to how bad your staffing problems are once you cut it out with the slavery."

"Ah. Yeah.

- are we actually going to try to solve this? Resurrecting Karen's more important - I mean, I guess it's not, but it had better be higher priority - and Maitimo just listed off a long bunch of reasons why it's hard and no reasons to do it. There are problems where we don't have adversaries."

"We're not taking on Wolfram and Hart. We might give Angel a book of detailed suggestions if suggestions are in fact the thing he's short on."

"He might just be a bad person. Having a soul makes you not vampire-evil, not not evil-evil."

"But if all you want to do is rescue and or murder pretty girls and drive fast cars why take the job? If you don't care very much about being ethical and have access to magic there are lower-risk ways to make a lot of money and abuse a lot of people. - there's no point in speculating about this until we meet our Angel."

"What city do you wanna live in when we're done rescuing your family, Karen?"

" - uh. I dunno. Haven't thought about it."

"Do you want opinions on cities? I've been to lots of cities, I have lots of opinions."

"...Sure? I guess?"

"Sunnydale, California. Wretched wasteland on a Hellmouth, no. Las Vegas, ugly, best place to steal fifty thousand dollars real fast but literally nothing else going for it. Salt Lake City, clearly trying! I appreciate that they're trying! Still kinda ugly though. Cordova, Alaska. Barely any people, good wilderness. Great place. Soldotna, Alaska, barely any people and good wilderness, pretty perfect. Kotzebue, Alaska, has a cop who can't mind his own business. Pass. Unalaska, Alaska. For the name you'd think it'd be more distinctive than it is but that doesn't mean it's bad. Barely any wilderness and no people so it's great. Kachemak, Alaska. Very few people, when I visited it was storming so I dunno about the views. Smells too fishy. Seldovia, Alaska. Barely any people, too many boats. Nenana, Alaska, barely any people, good wilderness, no roads, love it."

"When have you needed to steal fifty thousand dollars? I'd have given you fifty thousand dollars. - and the girl might want to live somewhere that isn't Alaska."

"Well I've pretty much just been to Alaska."

"New York City's nice. It's got stock exchanges."
