Bangkok is the obvious choice for obvious reasons. ---

Send them back in time to Lord Arthur’s realm in _Army of Darkness_. That place looked like it could benefit from an influx of comely maidens. ---

Bill Willingham’s Fableverse. 1. They’ve an established base, both in Manhattan (at the intersection of Kipling and Bullffinch). 2. They have a backup, totally isolated base in upstate New York (the farm). 3. They are accustomed to handling refugees from so-called fictional universes. In fact, all of Fabletown are from one fictional universe or another. 4. Rose Red, Snow White, Red Riding Hood, and others are in position to help women recover from trauma such as this. It’s a perfect start. 276 might well tax the system initially but it’s recoverable in the medium-term. ---

The Luna Free State (some time after the Revolution of '76, of course… No need to send them to a war zone). They’re always welcoming to immigrants, especially women, and as women, they’ll call the shots (which includes abstaining from sex or going at it willy-nilly, or anything in between, as they prefer). And there’s definitely something to be said for a major city where the last rape was ten years ago. ---

In the alternative, Callahan-verse could handle a few. Lady Sally could expand her operation with those so inclined, Jake and friends could probably disperse the rest into suitable situations. ---

You want them treated and cared for? Sector General You just want entertainment? Set them down in a nice Marvel Universe NYC brownstone, tended by Dr. Donald Blake. Put the Gor slavers a little ways away, and tell them where the girls are. Gather up all the info on the situation and send it to a Mr. Frank Castle. Sit back and watch fireworks. ---

Rosie isn’t in the best emotional shape right now, what with Boy Blue dying and Jack of the tales using her as basically a series of warm holes to screw. I mean, when Rose and Jack were together before this, Rose seemed to enjoy the sex, whereas during this latest episode, she’s just not resisting his advances (my books are packed up). But Snow White, Red Riding Hood, and Frau T. could probably help them deal with adjusting to their new lives. Or send them to Discworld, and let Granny, Nanny, and possibly Magrat help them. They could cry on Magrat’s shoulder, Nanny would give them advice on how to enjoy sex in their new lives, and Granny would come up with some extremely practical advice and solutions (but probably no sympathy at all). ---

> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > Send them to Torch in the Honorverse.

And messy. This is perfect. Torch is just the right place for them. Queen Berry will make sure they are well-cared for, and Thandi Palane will ensure that no one _ever_ bothers them unless they want to be bothered. In fact, some of them may well end up becoming Thandi’s Amazons. ---

All right, if not Xena, Kim Kardashian’s mom. She seems to know how to manage girls with plenty of hormonal elements in their psychological makeup. Give her a few million in seed money, I bet she’s straighten 'em out. Alternatively, give 'em to Lindsay Lohan’s mom, just to watch the trainwreck. And before anyone complains, we are talking Reality TV here, not reality. It qualifies as a fictional universe in my book. ---

The problem with that theory is that **Skald** ’s most trustworthy lieutenant is me. I’m on speaking terms with Aslan, as the Norse Ambassador to Narnia, but if Aslan wanted **Skald** whacked, I’d be in an uncomfortable position. Saying no to the Lion ain’t easy, and me going after **Skald** ain’t happening. Unless we work out a PPV deal, but even so the event would be scripted in the manner of pro wrestling matches. And the Lion prolly wouldn’t like that, either. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > 😕 Really? Why, exactly? You concerned with a little trans-dimensional competition? Because I don’t do THAT kind of evil. No slave trading and no raping. It’s in the RhymerFaq. Also why I’m not gonna go to this Kardashian woman whom **EC** mentioned upthread and who I just looked up. You don’t accept money or rewards for rescuing slaves, and you don’t try to make a profit afterwards, because then you’re just being a slave trader but lying to yourself about it. Remember what Bob said. > [@](#): > > I know your Burroughs-Libby continua buggy can be operated by other people, so if the problem with Narnia is your own reluctance to interact with an agent/ally of Aslan, you could entrust the errand to a lieutenant. Still risky. Narnia is not like Star Trek. You might get in of your own accord, but you’ll be \*\*leaving \*\*when Aslan feels you have matured and not before. Also it isn’t much better equipped for Gorean refugees than Oz is. They have sex there, clearly, but I don’t think anybody there has the vocabulary to deal with people who’ve been abused as slaves in Gor are. They could get help in Aslan’s country, but continua devices cannot go there.
