[010] VIDEO | EVENING 8PM

[bulwank]

[He clicks onto video in the usual fashion. All pomp and circumstance. Usual uniform and posture, chest out, shoulders back, arms crossed infront of him. His customary uh, frown? Actually not as customary as usual, it looks more- severe. Pulled at his face, more wrinkled, maybe even a vein slightly beating in his forehead. He's over all more tense that usual and as he opens his mouth and pulls in a deep breath you might expect the usual as well but-]

Greetings ImPorts. Those of you who are new, those of you I have yet to speak to- I am Gamagori Ira, Cape Canaveral Bootcamp Instructor and Nonah ImPort Ambassador. Hello.

First allow me to thank all those who took part in and enjoyed the Swear-In Ceremony and Event in Nonah, as well as the other two in both De Chima and Maurtia Falls. Much planning and work had went into all three events and while I know the other Ambassador's will see to thanking you themselves, I speak for all of us- thank you for your participation. Those of you who Registered, those interested in it but have yet to decide, if you have any question I am available, yet with that- allow me to go to my next announcement.

There will be an Automated ImPort Response System created not long from now, programmed by ImPort Inumuta Houka. While there are many FAQs and directories created for ImPorts should they have questions, this System will allow for a quick and more personal approach to having your questions answered should the usual individuals to ask be busy. This System will answer any ImPort related questions and will be available to all Imports. As soon as it has been finished I will make sure to update you all via the ImPort Network. If you have any questions concerning this System, please direct them to Mr. Inumuta or myself.

[And then

A pause.]

[Gamagori seems to bristle, clenching his teeth and tucking his chin down next to his gradually expanding chest muscles, flexed and yes- PISSED. His Porter granted ability to draw attention to him with his voice always in affect but now he'll simply gain attention from pure rage and volume alone. His eyes close for a moment.

Then pop open.

Glaring lasers into the camera as he raises his chin high.]

And now- I will get to my FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT. [Snarls, his nostrils flaring, his upper lip curled.]

It has COME TO MY ATTENTION, that SOMEONE has found it appropriate to QUAKE THE EARTH AND SCAR IT'S CRUST NEAR THE CITY OF NONAH. Earlier today as many of you might have felt, the ground shook under us. This was no mere natural tremor but A BLATANT DISPLAY OF UNNECESSARY FRIVOLITY! Upon inspecting the area I found there to be a COLOSSAL DISAPPOINT in the form of a pit. This sort of gratuitous melodrama will NOT BE TOLERATED!!

While I understand the need to hone one's skills and practice should the future thrust upon you the unexpected, you WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO SO WITH SUCH LACKING RESPONSIBILITY!

[A deep breath again. His puffs out a heavy breath, might as well be steam coming from him by now. Gamagori bristles again, whipping his arms down and clenching his fists at his sides.]

While I am willing to accept an apology and offer of retribution should the culprit come forth, the punishment shall be far more severe should YOU HIDE FROM ME!

So I suggest you make yourself known, now.

Thank you.

Comments

[bulwank]

Mmn, yes. Irresponsible and disrespectful. But I do not doubt this world will find a way to make use of this new scar, mother nature often does. That is no excuse to cause such a problem though. I do appreciate your concern though. Are you a resident of Nonah?

[cephalothorax]

I'm not. But I do have friends there, as well as in all the cities, really. ...except maybe De Chima.

More importantly, though, I was in Nonah for the Swearing In Ceremony. It seemed like a really interesting place - I'd hate to see it damaged.

[bulwank]

Nonah is an industrial hub, it most definitely exceeds 'interesting.' Though I advise you to more extensively learn the ImPort capitals, friends residing in them or not. I need to remember this advice myself as well, Maurtia Falls still remains new to me, aside from my patrols there.

[cephalothorax]

You're right, that's probably a good idea. Getting to know one's environment is always a superior choice.

[Gotta know where to bury the bodies, after all.

Literally.]

Maurtia Falls... actually, I live there. You wouldn't happen to be the building sized person I've heard about.

[bulwank]

[Right, that's right, bury bodies.]

[Wait, no!]

I would be, yes. I've done patrols in all the ImPort cities including Maurtia Falls. My height nears that of houses, though usually exceeds it. [Said rather proud of himself.]

[cephalothorax]

[No, you were right the first time!]

...where do you find clothes of that size?

[Seriously where because. Reasons.]

[bulwank]

My uniform changes with me, it has yet to be a problem.

[There's nothing odd about answering these questions. Where would he even KEEP clothes that big? Obviously they change too.]

[cephalothorax]

That's impressive. You must have very... unique clothing material.

[Completely genuine reaction, actually, because he's trying to imagine wtf a uniform could be made of if it's going to grow that big.]

[bulwank]

[Prying for more information. Actually this is the point for Gamagori starts to give out LESS. Usually when it's about his uniform.]

A man's uniform must always be respected. No ability will press upon you should you wear it well, even in tatters will your soul be held in the stitches of your clothing.

[cephalothorax]

[that was 100% fine spun bullshit and he's so sure of it. Maybe that's why he laughs, but it's not an unpleasant laugh, at least.]

Ahhh, I take that to mean it's some kind of secret. Understandable, perhaps!

[bulwank]

[It's not bullshit! A man's uniform is important!]

I am not purposely withholding information I shouldn't be, sir. But know that I have yet to find anyone to tailor an outfit of such magnitude for me. What I wear when changing simply shifts with me. [And he only ever shifts with his Goku uniform. Though, he has no idea if it's his uniform or the power that causes it to shift with him. Hard to say.]

[cephalothorax]

[IT'S CLOTHES, OK, WHO EVEN CARES.]

Ah, no, I didn't mean to imply you were. I was just thinking... an outfit that changes size with you must be made of something unique - magical, or otherwise special. It would be perfectly understandable if you didn't want to advertise that all over the network.

In any case, it really is an impressive ability, and you seem to put it to great use.

[bulwank]

Thank you, sir. It was granted to me by the porter here, though considering things in my home, it's not surprising I would be given it. I feel as though nothing is really different and I will make sure to use it as I used 'it' before. [Isn't that confusing?]

Do you usually take such an interest in other ImPort's abilities?

[cephalothorax]

[Yup.]

Sometimes. But... usually, I don't even know what they are. It's just hard to miss someone that tall walking around, so I got curious.

Ah, sorry if I seem nosy.

[bulwank]

Hm, nevermind then. Thank you.

[Nosy could actually help him, oh well.]

[cephalothorax]

Not to be nosy again but... is there any particular reason you asked?

lack of gama icons right now, sorry

[bulwank]

I'm currently looking for someone with an interest in such things.

9_9

[cephalothorax]

Any particular reason? If there's something I can help you with, I'm more than happy to try.

Well fine, don't take the apology. youre too good for misused icons

[bulwank]

I'm interested in preparing a list of ImPort abilities, one that can be used as a directory should anyone wish for the assistance of someone with a particular skill. Of course the list will mostly be of those who volunteer this information, but perhaps even including those found out through other means.

[People that do crimes certainly relent that information after all.]

GAMAGORI IS A LARGE MAN HE REQUIRES MANY ICONS, HAHA

[cephalothorax]

[Are you kidding me right now. Good thing Chrollo's a good actor because if he weren't, he'd be tripping over his words.]

Ah, that's a great idea, actually. It would connect people with the help they need in any specific instance... something as simple as knowing who to contact in the case of a serious injury or could has the physical power to move a collapsed structure could even save lives.

I'd be honored to help with something like that.

[Acting Skills: SSS+]

This is TRUTH

[bulwank]

[Well, just the right amount of excitement and Gamagori will be pleased, but yeah. Show too much and even he will be suspicious!]

Yes, that is exactly the reason for it! You are correct, sir!

Hm. Would you? You seemed less interested before. This task should not become a burden, it should fall upon shoulders willing to hold it!

[cephalothorax]

It's not a burden at all. I'd like to do something for the community.

Besides, I admit I find the abilities here really interesting - I'd rather not be unnecessarily obnoxious about it, but it's still fascinating. And I don't mind being a nosier in pursuit of a good cause. That's a lot different than pushing just to satisfy my personal curiosity.

[bulwank]

So then you'll take on this responsibility?

[What a relief. This won't back fire at all.]

[cephalothorax]

Absolutely. I'll get started immediately.

[Not even a little bit of backfiring. None whatsoever.]
