...okay great! The person is happy with these results.

In the meantime the Elves can pilot some lightleapers back and forth if there are a thousand people who want to go visit Valinor.

Permalink

It's not hard for some enterprising folks to bundle up batches that size!

Permalink

Then humans can come visit Valinor!! Concerts and city tours and fairy-led landscape tours and a royal ball are planned!

Permalink

Humans positively review this experience!

Permalink

Elves do not have many complaints about their human visitors except that they should do something about their hair. And there was one guy who started lecturing people at the royal ball about the merits of democracy, that was kind of weird. 

Permalink

Monarchies that actually do things are way out of fashion on Earth and anyway have they even tried democracy? It's so great and democratic.

Permalink

They haven't tried it. What's great about it, exactly?

Permalink

Everyone's voice is heard! The politicians have to do what the people want or be voted out!

Permalink

Oh. Well, they've never noticed a problem with the King not doing what the people want. And everyone's voice is definitely heard, you can pretty much just go to the palace and get a meeting with someone on the prince's staff and get your problem solved.

Suspicious proponent of democracy is suspicious.

Permalink

Well, no one's making him listen to the King. There are Elven democracies, the Falas are democratic and Ossiriand mostly gets by without a government but they vote on things.

Permalink

The guy bets they're nicer than this monarchy.

Permalink

What would he like to bet?

Permalink

What? He doesn't want to bet, it's just an expression.

Permalink

Ah. Well, the Noldor have a higher standard of living but that might be because they live in Valinor, it's hard to directly compare governments.

Permalink

At any rate, humans continue to wish to visit Valinor even though it takes a ten day cruise each way (oh no, the horror, ten day cruises).

Permalink

Then Minor will cease to be Revelation's primary source on Elves. Has the hospital figured out what's wrong with the baby?

Permalink

Some minor infectious disease that oh god half of Washington has it now AAAAAAAAAAH.

Permalink

- oops.

 

Is it treatable and everything -

Permalink

Sure, but a lot of people have it and their flu season capacity isn't covering it.

Permalink

He can't actually think of anything to do about that. If they need arbitrary material stuff he'd be happy to help.

Permalink

Sure, they could use some fever drugs to hand out, it'll save them going through their usual pipeline.

Permalink

The disease is pretty mild for most people who get it except the elderly and little babies.
