If they don't have a caste system does that mean that those of them with throwback hair colors can quit dyeing it?

...yes definitely. The terrible planet forced people to dye their hair? That's terrible.

Yes, like for example this person's hair is naturally purple but they had to redden it so no one would think they were purple. Why is that terrible? It doesn't seem like anywhere near one of the most serious problems.

They aren't actually clear on all of the problems the terrible planet had beyond that they sometimes murdered babies (and have been made to stop), sometimes forcibly separated babies and their parents (and are being made to stop), and had a caste system, which no one is sure how to stop but they can at least import the people hurt by it! And those things are worse than forcible hair-dyeing but still forcible hair-dyeing is pretty bad.

This purple-haired person prefers not to dye their hair but it's not a huge deal.

Well, now they don't have to.

Cool.

Can they learn to ski?

The locals would absolutely love to teach them to ski!!

Someone has a skiing accident and dies.

Elves are devastated. They sing for a week. Do people just - not want to ski on account of being outrageously fragile -

...no? That seems like an overreaction? It's very sweet of them to care though.

...okay.

They are still really super sad about it. Maybe Valinor will figure out how to chip terrible planet people.

That would be nice. Chips seem great.

Chips are so convenient! And death is really bad. They don't really know what they get up to in Valinor but maybe they'll get to it.

Is there anyone who won't trade out their reds for robots, once Voa's got it working?

Couple places are being stubborn about it.

Why.

General suspicion, in one case; another is concerned about economic fallout from reduced consumption of certain goods and other factors.

The second case bribery can probably solve. First case is harder. Are they worried the robots will break? They have enough tech to maintain and manufacture them themselves.

They are worried the Elves have a backdoor and might do unclean things.

How badly are they presently treating their reds.

They seldom kill them!

More people would probably die if he just stole all their reds, not to mention it'd frighten the reds. He gives all their neighbors outrageously nice presents, instead.

Holdout country is stubborn.

Still not worth just stealing all their reds but he does call up Tyelcormo and develop a very detailed plan to do it if they pleased. It's good stress relief.
