"Man I -"

"What?"

"I wouldn'ta brought it up if I knew it was, like, a thing for you personally, it can fuck people up being around people who are weird about it too much. Sorry."

"It's not a thing, I live in Amenta, land of nobody ever got killed for springing sideways, I'm fine, man."

"Whenever people are like 'the fuck' over the sanitation workers you can be like 'right back at you, man'."

"Ha, sure. Like, yeah, but if a red sprang sideways they could fuck whichever other reds, no problem."

"And, like, starving people in Africa. You don't have that. - we don't anymore but it took till the aliens to fix."

"Don't have an Africa."

"But you don't have a whole place with no internet and lots of starving people."

"Shit, no. Everywhere's got internet. There were maybe some starving people when the moron in Voa did the thing?"

"Oh?" says a friend.

"Some moron blue in Voa like, got shit all over a bunch of food, so nobody would eat it."

"Aren't blues your politicians? Why would you let them near food.'

"He didn't personally like, go put it on things, he got reds to and covered them up."

"The fuck."

"Enough that people were starving?"

"They're a farmy country. I dunno how much he got but you couldn't be sure of any of it, right?"

"Couldn't you just check?"

"Nah."

"We brought 'em food," says Dave. "One off food shortage is easy, you can just straight help. I think Prince Canafinwë also gave Tapa a new peninsula so they'd stop being at war."

"Yeah all the maps changed. Adro said they changed the one in his classroom."

"How does he pay for that -"

"Sings to them. Maybe also fucks them but the singing would be enough really."

"The terraformers work for singing? Or sex?"

"They can make whatever. Like, literally whatever, think of it and they make it. So you sell 'em intangibles."

"Guess that makes sense. Greens're good for something. And oranges."

"Fucking people for terraforming is orange?"
