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

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."

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]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Too vague. What exactly can this shielding do?

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

[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?

Give me your name, boy.

Yes.

My name is Negi Springfield, ma'am.
