"How are you assigning houses?"

"People say how many bedrooms they need - it's okay to tack a few on in anticipation of kids - and then I look up where's got that and I tell you the code. You can key it in to your pocket everything once you get there."

"They didn't let us pack."

"Assholes. Okay, then you also give me a list of whatever you need - clothes, electronics, medication - and I'll bring that by once I'm done assigning houses."

"Bring it to - the door of the house -?"

"Yeah."

"Where do we get food?"

"There's a grocery store." He points. "It's only stocked with nonperishables right now but tomorrow it can have fruits and vegetables and stuff."

"Are there taxes?"

"No."

"...if we invent more laws, can we enforce them?"

"If you vote on them and they treat everyone the same. And I don't think they're stupid. Everyone gets one vote."

"Starting what age? Is voting compulsory?"

"Starting as soon as they have an opinion. No."

"Do we need ID?"

"Probably a good idea. I'll bring those by when I bring your stuff."

"What's the currency? Will anyone else be moving here?"

"We're using the ni. We're open for immigrants, except blues, but dunno who'll take us up on it. Probably some people."

"What happens if a blue comes here?"

"They get asked to leave. If they don't leave they get arrested."

"What are the criminal penalties here?"

"Haven't decided yet."

That scares them.

" - I'm not gonna be horrible I just don't want to commit to something stupid."

That's not all that reassuring.
