Yep! Not before they actually pass the test but she'll be very surprised if they don't. And they can ask them what's up with the soul thing, too 

Permalink

They seem to be sort of indulging her on the whole test thing but none of them attempt unauthorized demon summoning.

Permalink

Sure sure as long as they understand that black holes.

Permalink

They are aware.

Permalink

Good.

Demons!

Permalink

Avalor writes her that she can probably scale back to email consulting now.

Permalink

She probably can, yes.

Permalink

Here is a lot of money as compensation for her time.

Permalink

...thanks. She's not really sure what to do with a lot of money, are there charitable orgs around?

Permalink

Plenty! Voa has a charity certification system to ensure that charities are doing legitimate things within their cause area.

Any about reds?

Permalink

There are actually a handful of charities that do things with reds. Three. There is Red Aid, which appears to be run by reds and says it will give donations directly to needy reds. There is Red Tour, which has open-top buses that reds can sit in and look at tourist and nature things and occasionally select outdoor concerts and theater, without leaving the bus, since normally they would not get to go places. There is Shadow Scholar, which does a buddy program between reds learning things like medicine and construction so they have someone to ask questions who went to a real medical school or whatever, in case they can't find stuff online.

That first one, that looks good.

Permalink

They will happily accept her donation and she can decide if she wants any information about who they're funding this month.

Permalink

She kinda does, yeah.

Permalink

Then she can get a little e-newsletter with a picture of a red kid holding a teddy bear. This month Red Aid has given money to this list of names, who needed car tuneups, furniture, debt relief, food assistance, medical help, respite childcare, shoes, Shadow Scholar fees, electrical repair, and an internet upgrade to one neighborhood that was on four-year-old tech.

Permalink

...goodness. She's actually kinda heartened that Red Aid exists at all, though.

Permalink

There are buttons in the email to allow her to set up a recurring donation, sponsor a neighborhood, donate physical goods, stop receiving these emails, and direct a fraction of online purchases from participating retailers to Red Aid.

Permalink

Ooh what are the retailers?

Permalink

Apparently a majority of large online retailers will let you send some of the proceeds of your purchases to a charity of your choice; Red Aid is just one you can pick.

Permalink

That's... kinda surprising, honestly.

She reads the news and checks her emails frequently.

Permalink

The news is mostly about Imde Province being ceded and some about a sex scandal with a regional governor (she slept with her husband's girlfriend's husband, which is unremarkable, and had a child therewith, which is remarkable, and is fighting to count the kid under his allocation and not hers (it's her third) so the baby won't be adopted out, which is exciting) and some about tornado warnings and heat waves and the latest in televised entertainment.

...what else is there to do?

Permalink

There is lots of televised entertainment!

That's boring. Does Avalor seem to need her for anything?
