[OOC][PLOT] Galaxy Building (Where we make Magrathea look like small potatoes)

[Labster]

I'm not really ready to roll until at least January, but it can be bumped later than that.  Most world-changing events don't happen in a day, but take serious time to unfold.  And uh, I'm doing slice of life still, so it's not slowly and joyfully moving through the seasons is gonna mess up my story lol.

I am getting the feeling that I need to visit New Jersey, Ottawa, and San Antonio to write this story better.  Or, at least, I want to go.  I'll be heading to Pittsburgh next June, which closer but not really near to any of them.

He's not really that bad if you're the right type.  Rowan Atkinson has said the key to his character is that he still sees the world as if he was a child.  Anyone with experience being a mother to a boy could probably handle him easily enough.  But yeah, maybe alone is better.

@BA, @RK - so apparently the answer to my question from PM a while back is yes.

Agreed in not changing the election outcome.  As much as it pains me to say it, he makes a much better backdrop for our setting.

They could definitely try arresting us, but undocumented people appearing among us in California is what we call Tuesday.  There are no crimes in providing housing or food to undocumented immigrants.  Entering the United States without permission is also not a crime, it's simply cause for people to be returned to their home jurisdictions.  Return Alicia to Mars?  I'm sure Elon will get right on that.  No, no, I'm pretty sure that this will lead to Twitter rants and not much else, like most of the Trump presidency.

If they did try something, the California Attorney General (depending on the time, either Kamala Harris, or Xavier Becerra) would file an amicus brief on our behalf so fast it would make their heads spin.  Seriously, there will be some powerful people who do not want Trump fucking up Operation Paperclip Part II; the aforementioned Elon Musk is just one of them (i.e. the only one I've plotted so far).  Shinzo "Honest" Abe will get that, and probably start working with the fine folks at Academy City early on.  If there's one thing I learned from anime, it's that they really believe that the military-industrial complex reaches all the way into the media, but 2channel is always an effective backchannel.

Also OMG is Statelessness an utter shitshow, c'mon, get it together world!
