Reply Subj: Well, a different genre anyway.

> A few problems:
> 1. She's outcast so she's not allowed near decent people, and certainly not into the palace.
> 2. Her visions aren't sufficiently clear for her to actually know yet what the threat is.
> 3. If she demonstrates genuine ability then the High Priest of Raathi will expect her to be put to death.
> 4. The only two people she thinks can help her are a drudge and someone in even worse trouble than she is.

That's why she's going to have to sneak into the palace somehow. She might not survive the trip though.


> Caphans have very competent female warriors to protect harems and act as bodyguards. They're raised and trained by the Leman's guild, and some function as adminstrators, enforcers, spies, and assassins. Prince Aarmus' agent Kriije was one such. If the Caphans adjudged Chiaki a leman then she's receive the respect due to her rank - less than a pleasure slave but higher than a tech-slave or mechant and much higher than a drudge, and proportional to the importance of her master and to her reputation.

Since she has no master, that would lead to her being incredibly insulted.


> If they saw Chiaki as merely perceptive and clever, able to anticpate and with good instincts then that would enhance her value. If they suspected supernatural influence then there would be a problem.

I have an upcoming post in that topic soon enough. Though generally, Chiaki doesn't leave much evidence either way. A primitive culture like Caph, however, is likely to jump to conclusions about supernatural nature either way. Then they'd have to beware, since Chiaki fights to protect herself (unlike most Caphan females) and she doesn't take well to being insulted by priests.


> Of course, Earth girls are very "in" on Caph right now, but nobody has yet been able to buy one.

Chiaki would emphatically insist that she's not for sale.
