Please go away???

Permalink

Okay. They will go away. Nobody has to vote if they don't want to.

Permalink

A suspicious number of villages on the Desnau side of the border are giving responses a lot like that one!

One of the places where there was a village a few days ago is now charred ruins and a bunch of bodies hanging from trees. Which isn't unusual in Dinot's territory, but this was well north of the Desnauen border, even if the inhabitants were (per the Provisional Government of Ljudizem) wholly Ljudic.

Oh no! They will find the nearest available surviving relatives and ask if that seems likely to have anything to do with Vanda Nossëo.

Demon conjuring finds relatives hiding out in the woods thataway!

They borrow a Kyubey and give it instructions and a comm and send it in; they're selectively invisible and very cute and nonthreatening if you aren't familiar with them. Hi, relatives hiding in the woods thataway, can you explain what happened?

Permalink

They are terrified, but will eventually explain to the tiny fluffy cute alien that it was hussars - they'd heard about how the aliens would let them be free even though the priest said that was all an Admiralist trap, and this woman's husband went around telling people in all the neighboring village they should all vote to be free, and the Clockwork Ace heard about it and she said it was treason -

Permalink

Oh gosh. If they will tell the cute fluffy alien who died, they can all be resurrected in the nearest safe place. Would these folks like to be brought to that place so they can meet the resurrectees when they come back to life?

Permalink

YES.

And then they will start giving names - a surprising number of names -

Permalink

Wow, that is somewhat more people than there were bodies in the town, were they all there that day?

Permalink

This kid was watching, he saw everything. They cut some people's heads off and put them on spears so they could show all the neighboring towns what happens to traitors. Also can you bring back his grandfather? He died last year.

Permalink

Grandfathers from last year are not in the scope of this offer but if he acquires some money he can buy a resurrection for the grandfather.

A float teleporter arrives to take them to the ship while a resurrection is set up.

Permalink

They find the float teleporter scarier than Kyubey but it's better than starving in the woods?

Permalink

Pop! Here they are on the ship in the waiting area for a resurrection bay; a resurrection team can take their reports of who died in the attack.

Permalink

... Wow. 

They're going to do some boggling at the absurd wealth and power of this civilization, and at the stars, and list all the people who died so they can be resurrected.

Permalink

Then presently they will all be back alive again! Would they like to go home and have their vote with a Vanda Nossëo protection, or would they rather just go somewhere else, like this homestead planet where you can get a parcel of land and integrate into not-preindustrial-farming features of life gradually, or this Elf planet dedicated to refugee absorption...?

Permalink

About 60% of the population immediately picks SOMEWHERE ELSE. Homestead planet yes please endless free land -

The remaining 40% wants to go back, either straight back to Show Them or to Free Ljudizem if it's going to stick around, but they're going to be a bit discussing it if Vanda Nosseo doesn't mind, because they'd ideally all like to go to the same place.

Permalink

They can have as long as they need though they should relocate to a conference room.

Permalink

They will do that! Bits of the argument will be audible to any Vanda Nosseo people listening - 

"We can have land, free land, don't you understand -"

"They killed me! They cut my hands off and then they hanged me and I'm not just going to let them get away with that, we have the power now -"

"It's where your grandfather grew up, boy, it's where your grandmother was born, you aren't just going to leave that -"

"I just want all this to be over, war's a curse on the land -"

"- They can't be as nice as they look -"

"They're angels and you're going to turn them down?"

"I'm not just -"

... It goes on for a while.

Permalink

A robot will serve them snacks and juice after they've been there for a while.

Permalink

They assume the robot is another alien and are very polite and deferent to it!

Permalink

It does not speak, just circulates and pauses at anybody who is not already holding snacks and drinks.

Permalink

Then they will take... snacks... and drinks? Some of the younger ones (in particular, the people who got resurrected) are more willing to engage but most are really worried.

Permalink

It goes out to refill itself when it is low on snacks and drinks.

Permalink

They will eventually conclude that they should move as a community to the homestead planet, but send people out to the other villages to tell them to join Ljudizem (or move to Vanda Nosseo) because Desnau can't actually kill you dead any more.
