[Donna’s voice is cold, smirking.

That’s better. Now, I was wondering, is this really the way you want to set up a meeting? Sending your people in yet again? At least he and his followers were only foolish enough to pursue the Animus.

We’ve heard your requests for a meeting, and we’re considering it. But there are a lot of things to be sorted out first. The biggest question is who guarantees our safety? We’ve gotten some talk, but not a great deal. We need assurances.

[She chuckles shortly.]

Maybe a bigger question is who would even attend if it was about talk instead of fighting. Most of you seem only intelligent enough to know which end of a stick is the pointy one.

Ta-ta, do let me know.

[The feed switches off.]

If nobody is willing to answer anybody's questions because they don't know who's not trustworthy how can we start trusting each other?

I suppose destruction counts, if you must take credit for something.

But does it hold anyone else?

That's yet to be seen.

It happens sometimes when you're thrown out of your home and dumped into a pile of ruins in an alternate plane of existence. But it's nothing a little bit of cooperation can't fix, ne? [Yay for throwing around big words.]

But I thought you wanted to talk.

[Voice]

I cannot speak for the entire population of the city, so I can't say that there won't be any attempts. However, if the meeting takes place once this week is over, I will do what I can to stop any attacks that might come. I'm sorry, but this is all that I can offer.

What topics will this meeting cover?

[Voice]

[earth-tyrant.livejournal.com]

Hardly a few. Most just pretend they're not interested because they're frightened most likely, if a definite meeting is set, they will come.

I must say, you actually remind me of my teacher. She was a hard woman to please as well.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Too vague. What exactly can this shielding do?

Whatever people want it to cover, if it gets held.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

You're asking questions that are irrelevant and you can find out by talking to the other Outsiders. I have no reason to answer them.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

So we're supposed to respond to a lot of frightened sheep that may come, based on your word. Why would I trust your word?

[Voice]

[exarmatio]

I'm a mage; I can use my magic power to create a shield. I can cover one person or an entire building, and it can block magic attacks. If physical attacks are a problem, I can easily take care of those, too.

I see. Sort of like a town meeting, I suppose?

[Text]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

We can start by you telling us what we'll get.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

No. I don't. I'm quite comfortable. It's the Outsiders who have asked for a meeting.

I wish I could speak for everyone here. Unfortunately, I am afraid we have no group who specializes in talks with your people.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

The files we gathered did not count?

It holds those who work with me. That is a start. I believe it will also hold Unohana, with whom I have discussed this venture. Can you speak for every scientist? I cannot speak for every resident.

But you just said you want assurances from us. If you won't trust us to give us answers how will you trust what we say?

[Text]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Then why has a group with no organization asked for meetings?

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

That's not my problem, it's yours. Surmount it.

[twintailslilbro.livejournal.com]

Why do grownups here expect so much from all the kids here?

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Why did you stick your nose into something that's clearly too big for you?

[trackingdata.livejournal.com]

Care to fill someone new in? It seems a little unfair to insult people without the slightest clue currently.

[Voice]

[1-resonance.livejournal.com]

Pardon, but I haven't been here very long. You're someone in a position of power here...?

[A pause.]

I would attend a meeting, if it was about talk. Fighting won't get anyone anywhere, even if there are more people who feel otherwise.

But... I can't provide you any assurances, not unless I have them myself. I'm sure you can understand, being in the situation you all are in. It's how most of us down here feel, I think...

[Text]

[haori]

Perhaps we'd like to try to gain some stability between our two groups. I admit I do not know all the details about this situation, but I am more than willing to listen and find out more.

[Video]

[twintailslilbro.livejournal.com]

Because it seems to affect everybody. So it's important.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

No. That's not my job.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Clearly.

No, I don't understand. You're the group asking for a meeting, but you want us to assure you? No.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

If you choose to get involved, then don't complain about it being too big or you being too young. Your mistakes or limitations are not my concern.
