[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 progress can be made, I'm all for a talk.

[female-warrior.livejournal.com]

Who are you?

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Good for you. Now, what does that mean for us?

If there's progress to be made, it needs to start from your direction.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Polite one, aren't you? Demands from the start?

[Voice]

[gekkoukangolden.livejournal.com]

Someone isn't going to punch you square in the face not yet anyways.

A bit difficult during an event that drives people insane, don't you think? You got bad timing.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

And you speak for everyone? Taken a survey already in the past few minutes? My, wouldn't that be efficient.

All the better to see you at your worst. If you can't handle a little event, why should we have anything to do with you?

[Voice]

[female-warrior.livejournal.com]

I like to know who's condescending me before I bother introducing myself.

[exarmatio]

If it truly is a peaceful talk, I would be willing to erect some shields in case someone tries to attack.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Bother or not, it makes no difference at all! But do you really think you're in a position to ask anything of me?

[Voice]

[female-warrior.livejournal.com]

I don't know who you are so how am I supposed to know whether or not I should fear you? Isn't that the point of this- fear?

[twintailslilbro.livejournal.com]

What is this meeting for Ma'am?

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

The issue is proving to my satisfaction that there will be no attacks on us to begin with.

Not merely a token offer of "shielding."

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Fear? You may fear as much as you want, if that is what you prefer. Not a bad choice.

[Voice]

[female-warrior.livejournal.com]

I'm not afraid of someone who hides behind anonymity. However, I will admit to being wary of you. What kind of meeting are you looking for, if I may ask.

[bakahatsu-da.livejournal.com]

Wasn't a meeting, un.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

What is it for? Whatever we choose it to be for.

[Voice]

[earth-tyrant.livejournal.com]

Ah. Finally, a typical human from th'center.

So, y'all act like yer doing us a favor by offering fer meetin's. [Sounds of a clearing throat.]

What you really mean is you need an opportunity for the center to feel better about themselves by patronizing the outsiders, by putting up a front of dominance when it's been admitted that you are not immune to these events either.

I'll play along though, you want us to offer things for your little meeting. What you should do to save time on your part is actually say what you want so we can decide whether or not to agree.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

What meeting are we looking for? We're hardly looking for one at all.

But we've heard your chatter for one, and this is your chance to convince us.

[Video]

[twintailslilbro.livejournal.com]

But how do we know if we want to come without knowing what it's for?

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Can you even differentiate between a "meeting" and an "invasion"? If you need help figuring it out, please, confer among yourselves - perhaps together you'll understand the gist of it.

[Text]

[haori]

If it's talking you'd like, then ask us. We are civil despite outward appearances.

I am more than happy to discuss matters over tea, Miss.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

And you're such an expert on us, to let us know what we're after? Thank you for the insight; I'll make note of it so my secretaries can make the appropriate changes in our plans.

Anything more to tell use about ourselves, or will you actually comment on the matter at hand?

[Voice]

[bakahatsu-da.livejournal.com]

Watch your mouth or I just might accidentally blow up more than just a wall.

[Voice]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Our presence alone should be of sufficient interest. As of yet, I've seen little to prove it'd be worth the risk.

[Voice]

[earth-tyrant.livejournal.com]

Well, I could complain about your timing, like everyone else, but let's not go over it again.

I didn't send anyone into the city center. I doubt many of us voted for that. I'd be willing to talk. If you want offering for your safety, I thought all of you in your "New Science City" where so superior to us ignorant outsiders that threat of trouble was unthinkable.

Though, that attitude won't help the Dai'elle out at all... I would be willing to protect you humans if you made an excursion out, that's what I'm offering. I'd be amused to see how these talks went.
