If you know any Earth media that's particularly on point I bet they'd enjoy it and I think English-Anitami is pretty smoothed out by now.

Earth media is in fact pretty on point in this general neighborhood. I will find you some choice things.


He finds her some choice things.

She forwards choice Earth things to the reds with translation. She tells ex-reds that if they want any fancy stuff to help with their cover or to just own fancy stuff now's the time to send her a list.

Permalink

The reds love their choice things.

Some of them want some things. Some of them need wardrobe help, they get sticker shock when they walk into clothing stores. Some of them have silly tentative requests like plants and irregular kitchen implements. A new yellow wants advice on going pro summoner.

Permalink

Isel can draw up a decent yellow or blue wardrobe and go to a university for half an hour and pick a green whose wardrobe she will just request in that red's size. She has less idea about orange and purple.

She bets Cam would be delighted to help the would-be summoner out. (Aitim suggests she offer demons media from yet more universes, recommendations from which he extracted from Bar. She passes this along as well).

The ex-reds appreciate this.

If Orvara is happy with their test city maybe they want to clean the reds in all their other cities and do it there too?

Permalink

Why should they clean them?

Permalink

Because murdering them looks really bad to the aliens, who think one shouldn't do that.

Permalink

They didn't just slaughter them all, they drove them away.

Permalink

Right but everyone knows they died and the aliens aren't stupid. 

Permalink

Many of them are still alive.

Permalink

Mostly the ones who went to other cities, right? And who will therefore die if they get kicked out again. It's not even that expensive. They could make the reds pay for it.

Permalink

Well, maybe if the reds pay for it.

Permalink

It'll help with that if they let the reds switch castes at least into yellow and down. They can solicit some to go yellow and then those ones can pay for their fellows.

Permalink

Will they actually do that?

Permalink

If Orvara lets the reds pick who to recommend to become yellow they'll pick ones who will pay for the others.

Permalink

All this letting reds do things is very weird.

Permalink

If they can pay the angels themselves Orvara can supply supervisors to make sure they've been cleaned adequately and get them new IDs. No blues no greens.

Permalink

Of course. 

 

He's vaguely curious whether there's anything to Isel's job besides being civil and not thinking their death would improve the world. He sets up an anonymous messaging arrangement and emails them all the link and writes what Orvara's agreed to do and how much paying the angels will cost and that they can get a grant to cover the first batch's cleaning and also their resettlement costs/wardrobe/necessities for passing as their new caste. 

Permalink

The anonymous message setup is tested with some gently illegal denial of the Aradeh Massacre.

Permalink

He's pretty sure the thing to do is 'don't break the anonymity and have them arrested'. He does not have them arrested.

Permalink

An Orvaran social worker emails him to remind him that denial of the Aradeh Massacre is illegal in Orvara, and she's sure he didn't really anonymize it, now who was it?

Permalink

Oh, he actually anonymized it. He dislikes lying to people, see.
