[Video] [Action]

[sleight_of_hand]

[There's a bit of a scruffy individual appearing on your screens today, looking rather small and out of place in what is apparently his new room, from what little is seen of the background. He looks like he really doesn't want to be doing this, but... when in Rome, right?]

Uh... guess it's only polite to introduce yourself on these things, right?

[He fidgets, having trouble looking at the screen.]

Detective Tohru Adachi, formerly Inaba PD. Ah... nice to meet all of you? I guess?

[It's a moment, before he finally lets out a sigh, his face scrunching up at the camera.]

I'm not even really sure why I'm here. It's not like I'm anything special.

[HA!]

But, uh... I'm in Heropa, building thirty. They've assigned me to be a traffic cop, so... be sure you park your cars right! Heh heh...

[He's smiling, but it's obvious he's dying a little on the inside.]

[If anyone in #030 wants to talk to him personally, he's sitting on his bed, looking like he's trying not to take up too much space at once.]

Video/Action

[mightthinkthat]

[ Francis smiles into camera, looking his usual confident self, light suit, dark colours this time. His background is simple, uncluttered, with the foreground only revealing that he's sitting on a dark wood desk.

The general impression is that of traditional values and security - what Francis represents. ]

I haven't been here very long. [ Get what vulnerabilities he does have out of the way first. Name and move on. ] But I'm absolutely delighted to report that I've found myself to be very welcome here in Nonah. [ Emphasise that he, unlike his opponent, actually lives in the place he's looking to represent. ] The people here have been generous and kind when it can be so easy not to be.

We've had our attacks. From without and within. When I first arrived, I was a victim of Crane's attack. Thanks to Sabriel's fine work and bravery, I was able to overcome it and my fears to realise how people had come together not only to help the victims of the attack but to uncover Crane's responsibility, not in a witch-hunt, but with a view forward, and very important questions as to how we should treat those within our community. [ Just let's ignore that Batman chose to do that via kidnapping, but hey, the questions got asked! ]

The experience, though certainly not something I'd ask to have placed in any brochure, showed me not only my fears, but the potential that can come from the imPort community in overcoming such strife. I was emboldened that day to do my very best to represent us to our hosts. [ A nice reminder about how his PR job already has similarities to the Ambassador gig. ]

To that end. [ The point, it has arrived! ] I nominated myself for the position as Ambassador to Nonah.

My family had come down, many centuries ago, from Scotland to England to serve King James and my country. Public service is in my blood and I had distinguished myself in my previous life by serving my country, first in the Scots Guard and then part of Westminster, rising as far as Prime Minister. [ He'd hedged regarding his rank before, but now is not the time to be shy about his credentials. ] 

At home, I am dead. Killed while I was attending a ceremony for my predecessor [ who he loathed. But hey, hardly anyone here seems to like Maggie Thatcher, so small mercies. ] and dying in my wife's arms. I can't go back. [ Full of feeling. But mostly because he misses The Wife. Not that he particularly misses the situation. But, hey, if it gets him the job! ] Here I have a blessed opportunity to have what I cannot at home. And I want to use this extra time to serve as your Ambassador, if you would be so kind as to allow the indulgence. [ Finishing off on a note of subservience. Perfect. ]

[ Action for Ruby ]

[ He finds Ruby's shop, looking in the window first before venturing inside. His first instinct is to look around before searching for Ruby herself and even then he only meets her eyes with a smile. ]

[ Action for Papyrus ] 

[ Francis is wondering if he is going to be in over his head with this guy. He could very well run away with his enthusiasm, if Francis can't coral him. But still, the effort will amuse him for a while and he knows full well what happens when he is lacking in amusement. Not that he's solely against that... he would like more power before he goes off the rails. Better cover. Which he'll need now that death's off the table. ]

Good afternoon, Papyrus. Hope you're settling in well?

[ Raina is sitting outside on a park bench in Nonah, wearing an oversize pale purple sweater atop a pair of skinny jeans, swallowed by a pair of tall black boots. Where is the floral, one might ask? There's a floral print chunky scarf around her neck, with flowers in varying purples. To complete the look, Miss Fashionista is wearing a dark purple beanie. In one hand she has a cup of coffee while the other holds the communicator. ]

I've always enjoyed the changing seasons. The leaves turning different colors, the cooler air moving in. I mean, don't get me wrong -- I do enjoy the warm weather far more. But it's a nice change of pace to be able to step through a porter at will and be able to experience a different season. This world will never cease to amaze me.

[ She takes a sip of her drink before setting it to the side. ]

But more to the point -- I've been giving a lot of thought to the things I could do here, to the ways I could make a difference. I've been branching out with my research, running charity drives, doing volunteer work. But with the departure of Mr. Gamagori, there is a void in the Nonah Ambassador position. A void that needs to be filled. And I believe, for the first time since I arrived here, I've found my true calling.

I am running for Nonah Ambassador because I believe I can make a difference, that I can improve our status with the natives, that I can work to find solutions to complex problems that don't necessarily conclude in violence. I have a love for this world and a passion to see each and every one of us flourish to the best of our abilities. There are things worth protecting here and for some of us, this is the only world where we can truly feel at home. I mean...

[ Her smile becomes a bit more bashful as she lowers her eyes -- shyly confessing: ]

I met the love of my life here. And not a day goes by where I'm not grateful that our worlds had the chance to collide.

Whether it's love, whether it's friendship, whether it's opportunities, or a new life or the chance to call yourself a hero. There is something in this world for each and every one of us. And there are ways we can all do our best to improve it. But sometimes, we have to put forth an effort to do so. What sorts of issues would you like resolved? Not just in Nonah, but the other imPort regions as well? Or even our overall status in this world? Even if you choose not to have me represent you, I'm certain whoever is voted into office as well as the other imPort ambassadors -- Mr. Hundred and Mr. Revan -- will take your concerns into consideration and do their best to come up with solutions.

So let's talk about anything that's on your mind in relation to us as a whole. Things you like about this world, things you dislike, things you would like to change. Let's be the difference we wish to see made.

[cupio]

It's like twenty days until Halloween and I haven't even got a costume figured out yet. This is a catastrophe.

[ Ah, she knows that they've had some very serious actual catastrophes lately, but Clary definitely seems to try and focus on the normal things in life. Especially when she's stuck here and can't get back home to make a different. ]

Anyway, so does Heropa have a carnival or anything? Or any of the Porter cities? Usually I go to a club or a party with my bff. It's tradition. I think he'd be disappointed if I didn't do something. What's everyone else doing? What's everyone wearing? Are glittery vampires still the popular costumes? Boy wizards? Sexy clipboard? I need to know!

[Red is at home so she isn't wearing her duster or hat, but she seems to be wearing a pair of sunglasses. They're pretty cool looking, like they're out of some steampunk convention. Did that negate the "cool" adjective? Well, that's all perspective. Either way, she's wearing sunglasses indoors.

As she makes the following request, she tries not to sound excited but she's still a pretty giddy about having glasses that correct her color blindness, it's pretty sweet. Helps in tracking people down when you're told they have purple hair and are driving a green car, plus, flowers are just dang pretty.]

Howdy. Got a simple request: what're yer favorite colors? Examples included'll be much appreciated.

Bit'a silly request, but reckon I ain't got nothin' better ta do. Ain't got a job no more.

[That's right, no more Roomba inspecting, boohoo.]

An' authorities ain't called me to do some bad guy huntin' fer a couple'a days now. Might as well do somethin' frivolous fer a half hour or so.
