can we ship them to taiwan? they technically have citizenship rights there.
That sounds like the kind of action the in-character Senshi would have to explore by taking actions. Hard for us to know, again in-character.
Taking in the Amazons doesn't just result in Usagi being responsible for 1,200 people who she has to spend her AP on, it also means she gets the AP of 1,200 people. All the resources of the Amazon village are going to become the Senshi's, from its fighters to its lore.
Shampoo is going to be available for Usagi to command. Cologne is going to become her direct subordinate.
Though those formal relationships may be a bit complicated, and the Amazons are going to be very, very busy getting themselves established at first, in the long run it does give us our own small army and special agents who can hold their own against many supernatural creatures.
Very, very good point.
Delegation is a thing.
These are not 1200 babies. These are warriors with partly literally centuries of experience and accumulated resources, including money to buy necessary things, and leaders used to lead them and knowing how to do it.
Though, caveat, a lot of their applicable life experience is from living in a farm village in rural China. The number of them who know how to cope in a more modern environment (or who know anything of much use to us in the Moon Palace, where there are no enemies to beat up) is much more limited.
I'm sorry to be a debbie downer here, but I really don't want us to get unrealistic expectations here.
I wonder if the Chinese government will throw a fit/tantrum, that the Senshi decided to evacuate, the Amazons?
Seeing how, they at in RL, it is a almost guaranteed.
You may be right or not, but you're absolutely making a lot of unstated assumptions about the Chinese government to arrive at "seeing how, they at in RL."
A lot of is just feel and an ingrained reflex of no that is too small to actually function as a lasting settlement that is oh-so-common in fantasy settings though there are also a few postulations. In addition to existing as a village, they probably have duties that have to be done as wardens, and while only healers were called out and given their rather isolated nature, they probably have other people in specialized professions, carpenters, masons, blacksmiths, enchanters, and so on. Each of which, even supplemented by household gardening, would need a fair number of dedicated farmers/herders/other food-producing professions, except they live on the side (though probably more of a piedmont) of a mountain which increases the amount of effort needed and decreases the amount you get out of it.
I think you are to some extent conflating the two villages, and overestimating the minimum size of a sustainable farming village. The oni aren't necessarily entirely isolated (if nothing else they could trade with the wardens), some of their arts and crafts may be magical including food production, and they don't necessarily have
many people in specialized trades. Among other things, oni seem to have superhuman longevity, which they may spend learning multiple trades or in other ways that humans do not.
The warden village
absolutely isn't entirely isolated (like, they have cars and trucks, as I recall), and while Onogoro doesn't seem eager to listen to them, that doesn't mean the wardens get no external support of any kind. They also don't show nearly as much sign of delicate artistry and so on, which suggests that a lot more of their stuff may be "I bought this plywood from a hardware store" rather than "I felled this tree and worked it into timbers with hand tools myself," thus reducing the number of specialist trades required within the village itself.
1,2,3,9 are not immediately necessary.
4 and 5 are resolved, given life support is running to the point that there is a garden up there and Senshi can teleport.
6 is resolved through Queen Serenity.
7 and 10 - amazons are used to live independently. Teleportation is easy for Senshi.
8 is trivial.
9 a luxury and can be done whenever.
I should note that putting 1200 people up there all at once is something of a
stress test of the life support and sanitation arrangements. You're looking at something in the vicinity of a million actual plants required to provide the oxygen, and the royal garden probably isn't
that big, so you end up needing the air machinery to do some real work. I'm not at all saying it's impossible, but at a bare minimum it'd be grossly irresponsible to use this plan without sending Artemis and/or Ami up to make sure the air production is equal to the task.
(Also to seal off wings of the palace we don't want anyone poking around in; there'd be a lot of bored Amazons wandering around up there)
Teleportation is easy for Senshi, but Senshi aren't available 24/7 and we may well be carrying a lot of stuff up and down for them. It's going to get time-consuming. That ties into supplies- the Amazons are self-sufficient as a rural farm village, but we're separating them from their farms and putting them in an environment where they cannot farm or trade with neighbors for anything. They'll be dependent on the Moon Palace's amenities, and it's not clear how functional those amenities are or how easy it'll be for the Amazons to get them working.
Right, added a line to the very end of the update noting something else worth paying attention to -
If you choose not to accept them as clients at this time, that does not mean that you guys won't have the option to do so later on. This is a large decision, and if some people would rather wait and see before making that kind of decision, that is an option.
Of course, it will probably be easier to convince them to form a fixed clientage relationship with them right now as we're promising to save them from disaster than it would be later when they may have gotten settled in.
