Well, the yellows are willing to do that for a lot of money.

Permalink

She'd rather hire reds.

Permalink

Reds can't feasibly travel between districts and don't know anything about auditing.

Permalink

Shadows. And it's not like a financial audit, it's just checking on red conditions. She doesn't think yellows will get good results.

Permalink

Everyone is absolutely horrified at the idea of reds travelling by Shadows. No.

Permalink

The Shadows won't take them anywhere reds aren't authorized to be.

Permalink

Elementals are kind of suggestible and they might. Or they might make a targeting mistake.

Permalink

Shadows can see where they're going. Red neighborhoods are the ones with reds in them. She will be doing the suggesting.

Permalink

One country says they'll permit a red auditor if the red auditor wears an ankle bracelet monitor.

Permalink

She can probably find one who's fine with that! All right who wants to go check out red conditions in that country while wearing an ankle thingy.

Permalink

Isel asks them.

Permalink

Sounds great. Lots of money. As long as the ankle thingy won't, like, explode on their foot?

Permalink

Probably not.

Permalink

Yeah some of 'em will risk it!

Maurabel finds a cooperative Shadow who will do transport in exchange for being read bedtime stories. Reds reading to her is fine. (...wild elementals are predictable in their hobbies; more flesh-people-acclimated ones fixate on the oddest things.)

That country sends acceptable ankle bracelets.

Permalink

Reds don them and go by Shadow to that country's red neighborhoods.

Permalink

Things have in fact gotten better since word got around that the aliens cared! It'd be bad if there were any red mages but since there aren't. 

Permalink

Why would it be bad if there were red mages exactly, would it be more than just them being executed?

Permalink

No, just that.

Permalink

The red auditors take diligent notes and spend all of their visit in red districts and then go home and report to Maurabel. Maurabel gives the country in question a dozen air artifacts and offers to introduce the Shadow who likes bedtime stories to whoever is on their interplanetary exploration team; she will consider them for field trips and possible satellite campus.

Permalink

They are so pleased!

 

Someone else will agree to the ankle monitor setup.

Permalink

She finds a Shadow who accepts money. Red auditors go.

Permalink

This place has really low extrajudicial violence against reds! When they get in trouble for things they usually just get house arrest.

Also they don't have social workers. Because they have anthropologists who experiment on the reds. They've learned a lot from it!

Permalink

That's... different. That's definitely different. She is not sure she'll give them "not shitty".

Permalink

It meets her criteria!
