"We will get a lot of clarifying inquiries and some concerns and some requests about priorities and so on."

"Good. ...Should we even take up your time discussing more PR type of things?"

"I like PR sorts of things!"

Dana hoarded a bunch of photos and videos of various pocket dimensions and wants to run a blog about them, magic and Earth. It could have interviews, explanatory videos and even a "today on Earth" section.

The translation effect extends to the stuff Felix makes. Doesn't work on digital files, but it can make magically-translating written things. Earth literature, recently-lost or untranslated Amentan literature, engraved jewelry, anything with words on it. All to auction and donate for good causes.

And of course there is just plain making things. Felix can't make other kinds of magical things, but he is unusually versatile otherwise. Even without the translation effect he can make various Earth-things, he can make Earth animals. He can make Amentan animals that have recently become extinct. In theory, Felix can make organs and tissues for transplants, but he is not sure how that would interact with magic and requires extensive research.

"I bet all of those will be very popular. I'm curious what we make of books written by casteless people. Some sci-fi writers try it, of course, but - from an Amentan baseline."

"Yeah. The narrative of people getting a very different job from their parents is quite common, sometimes it's a source of family friction and sometimes is the entire point. And the entire super-hero genre revolves around people doing a gray sort of vigilantism work, but super-heroes come from all stripes and a substantial fraction of them would slot green."

"And the quintessential super-hero is the biological son of a scientist, was raised by farmers and is a reporter at his day job."

"Writers can come up with that, but possibly not with some of the associated nuances."

"Not to mention things lost in translation. Like, I wouldn't be surprised that purples would find the change of careers offensive, while in superman's case, him being the son of farmers establishes that he comes from a hardworking and honest background." Shrug. "I bet that Dana would be glad to make a video on the subject."

"Can your translation solution do television? It'll have a broader audience than books."

"It can't. It needs to attach itself to matter that meaningfully and persistently represents something and 'light on the screen' doesn't count."

"Have you tried translating things in the sense that you turn them into new non-magical letters and sounds? I know it used to take longer, but now you have translation magic."

"Oh, that could work. I'm not sure I could make people sound different, but I think I could add subtitles in Amentan languages."

"I bet people'd be excited."

"Those are exciting times!"

"More space! Aliens! Magic! Secret plots to avoid the impending genocide of an entire group of people! Really exciting."

"I'm so glad you've had some time and space to settle in."

"Helped a lot! Speaking of secrets plots. Did Isel send you my concerns with future red dimensions?"

"She did, yeah. I favor getting someone in each country who can make temporary ones and then leaving them routes to escape to one in the ocean."

Nod nod. Sigh. "Am I making the right trade-off if I'm not more explicit in public about being against their genocide?"

"Might be worth stating that a priority in evaluating countries' requests for dreamshaping will be their plan to handle their reds, and that you endorse Anitam's handling. But yeah, moralizing won't help."

"That is the plan, yeah. Playing with the angle 'that sounds like a mess that I can help you avoid' and make it sound that red dimensions are more like... part of the whole package of proper magic use. Less likely to get attrition if it's part of a non-red related whole, I hope."

"It's fine to be - picky about reds being transitioned appropriately, that's close enough to a mainstream stance."

Nod nod. Sigh.

"Translating that from Felix to Anitami. Thank you for all the help. I still think there is a sense where I'm doing wrong by Amentan people by not being more honest about this issue. But I recognize the practical limitations of my own capabilities."
