"I - see the merits of doing that, but -"

"What are they?"

"Encourages people to be very sure of who they marry, discourages doing something permanent and binding for the life of the universe thoughtlessly..."

A queue request is put in for Wish's Rebecca! A demon request is put in for Aurum and Eclipse's Rebeccas and Macalaurës read up on Eclipse's weird thing so they won't be surprised. The three Space forks are too busy for two of them to run off and get married but can spare one and fork for the other. The new Space fork bothers Epic for more detail on the Warp Rebecca's world.

Thirteen billion people on a fairly small landmass practicing aggressively dystopian population controls. And at war over something stupid. And they have a caste system. And they have the death penalty left and right because overpopulation. And there's an untouchable caste.

 

Her name is Peka. Her hair is pink and it's gorgeous and she is the untouchable caste. He can't quite tell if it's a religious thing or just equivalently intensely felt but they sure are serious about the 'untouchable'. They segregate them. He mentally tags the place Rainbow Apartheid Planet.

"Great. I have a secret girlfriend and she needs to be safe."

Permalink

"And you're not fetching her because -"

"I very seriously considered it - I miss her - but it looks like her planet throws a giant stupid tantrum if I let her go anywhere and there's no fucking way I don't let her go anywhere and it seems like maybe a better solution is finesseable and I think she will be happier about this in six months once it's done and we have all eternity. As long as she and her baby are both indestructible."

"Baby's another two hundred sixteen."

"That's a people thing, that means I can just leave it to you. Tonight at midnight?"

Permalink

"My Peka. She is apparently in a war zone."
