Well--

[The woman filming herself today looks a little bit overwhelmed, but she's trying to hide it. She has a photo ID badge pinned to the sweatshirt she's wearing, and if one looks really closely, they might be able to make out that it identifies her as a federal inmate by the name of "Doggett, Tiffany".]

I been told some about what's going on here, so I'm pretty sure I'm talking to an entire city right now. Right? Am I right?

[She pauses like she's waiting for an answer; then, realizing she's not going to get one while she's still broadcasting, she continues on.]

I was pulled outta gen pop and brought here, so what I'm wondering is if that's a normal thing to happen to people. This some kind of new rehabilitation program? An early release for good behavior? 'Cause they set me up with a job and a nice apartment, so that's kinda what it sounds like to me.

[She's all set on the where, and hast at least a vague idea of the what - it's the why that's eluding her.]

And that's fucking great, you know? The government wants me to work for them? I gotta say, I never thought I'd get any kind of government job offer. Just gotta stay registered, they said, and I'll stay happy and free. I never heard a deal sweeter than that.

There ain't actually people that turn that down, right?

[Her language isn't excessive so he won't bother mentioning it for now, but he's keeping his ears open if it gets out of hand.]

Currently, miss, you are addressing all imPorts in this world, or at least those that frequent the network made for our community. [A small nod from the huge fellow responding. Tanned skin, bleached blonde, simply massive amount of muscles on him but he's hardly a shovel head, dressed to the nines in black, white, and gold regalia.]

Plenty of individuals turn it down, it is often seen as manipulative, but that is up to you! The benefits gained surely will assist you in this world, but do not feel rushed in making your decision.

[A small bow of his head.] Nonah ImPort Ambassador, Gamagori Ira. If you should have any questions, I am one of the people under duty to assist you, though as the imPort Ambassador of your city, I expect you to speak to me first.

[tucky]

Yeah, okay. So what, you like my boss or something?

[selfimage]

The job is a formality. More like the government is being nice.

Despite all of the politics, it's quite the bargain, isn't it?

[tucky]

But I still work there, even if it's a formality. Right?

I think it's a real bargain, and I sure as shit ain't giving it up.

[ the video clicks on to a young woman in her late teens, nothing special about that. except she has grey skin and horns, being a bit overly fangy. so, that's a little weird. ]

You may think of, but it's actually surprisingly common. Many imPorts see it as too good to be true, something that we'll be called upon to pay back before long.

Of course, it's been over a year and no such thing has happened, but that doesn't stop the paranoia.

video.

[tucky]

I'm not really a paranoid kind of person.

[But she sounds distracted (for reasons Kanaya can probably guess), leaning in to get a better look at this girl.]

The fuck are you in costume for?

"Gen pop."

-- As in, general population. Well, you are in good company.

video;

[tucky]

Yeah, but I'm still not sure how many of y'all are from the kind of place I'm from. At first I thought everyone was, but now I don't know.

video

[aggressiveapathy]

Only the dumb ones.

video

[tucky]

You'd have to be dumb to do it, as far as I can see.

VIDEO.

[mantlepieces]

There's people that turn that crap down all the time. I don't get it either -- I figure they must have some kind of real charmed life they'd rather get back to.

[ He looks and sounds disdainful of the notion. ]

We don't get opportunities like this every day. Or ever.

VIDEO.

[tucky]

So the snobs and rich people all turn up their noses at it. Got it.

[nohalfway]

[ She's spent forever trying to figure this thing out, and video just so happens to be the first thing she's mastered. With a prideful look on her face, Ellie makes her fist response. ]

Hey hey, we're live!

[ Oh, responding. Right. ]

Release for good behavior? What, so you're a prisoner or something?

video

[tucky]

Was. Guess I'm not anymore.

They bring kids here too?

[nakatsu]

[Now, see... Nakatsu doesn't speak English. He knows he doesnt't because he keeps failing his exams. Despite this, he's been managing to talk to Americans and read signs and get on so far. It's probably magic, he figures.

But he can't seem to understand what this girl's getting at. Gen pop? Early release? Rehabilitation? ???]

I don't really want to work for the government... They want me to coach flipping volleyball!

video

[tucky]

So what? That's not bad.

[Granted, it wouldn't have been her first choice for a job. Mostly because she has very little idea how to play volleyball.]

video

[ferrisbuellean]

You seem to be taking this pretty well, I gotta say. Most people are already complaining by this point.

video

[tucky]

You ain't given me anything to complain about.

[cuff]

[ ..... this face he is making is the epitome is disgruntled. and judgy. not even sorry. ]

You're kiddin me. You have got to be kiddin me, this place pulled you in from lockup? Think they'd have a little more brains than that but ohhh no, they toss you a job offer and everythings all hunky dory.

But, no- no rehab here, hate to break it to you. What'd you think you do that's so special so as to kick you back out?

[tucky]

It could've been any number of things, I think; I could be getting out for good behavior.

video

[askedtobe]

Some people don't like the government watching their every move.

video

[tucky]

They really doing that? What, they got cameras everywhere?

video;

[grimreaping]

People have different reasons for choosing or not choosing registration. There's no blanket statement that covers all their situations.

video;

[tucky]

What's some reasons that make people not want it?

text;

[infomodder]

You're not the first to be pulled out of that situation. I don't know if you'd call it common, though.

[Will still has his hideous orange jumpsuit, a reminder of blinder times.]

[tucky]
