[ Francis is sitting in his Ambassador's Office for this broadcast. One day he might not be using this for business, but that day is not this one. ]

Look, I'm a Tory. It goes against everything my party stands for to act like a twenty year old hippy from the sixties and arranging marches against The Man. But I think, in this case, they might very well understand that when it comes to presenting my constituency, my putting aside party politics is not only desirable but necessary. 

So organised a march I did. I have interested parties already lined up on the native side, but what I'd really like is some imPort voices to join us. Whatever beef you have with the government, stick it on a sign and meet us [at location] at [time] and we'll show this government that not only are we tired of being treated as if we don't have a voice, the native people here do too. We should put up a united front and turn our numerous whispers into one loud shout. 

Look forward to seeing you there.

Well, I'm trying to keep from doing anything else super physically strenuous for the next little while, so I'm gonna pass on actually joining in, but. This sounds like a good idea.

[mightthinkthat]

It certainly doesn't sound like a bad one, but I appreciate the support even if it's only on an emotional level.

[resipiscent]

Yeah. I mean, not that I'm out of shape or anything, but I got some pretty nice wounds in Neverland. Kind of still working on clearing those up.

[mightthinkthat]

I don't want you to strain yourself, Riku. Get better.

[resipiscent]

Heh. Just gotta work a little longer on them, that's all.

[Which he means literally -- he's been casting Cure spells on them once a day.]

[mightthinkthat]

How badly were you hurt?

[resipiscent]

Mm? Oh, uh. I got stabbed. In the chest, but not in any vital areas. It's just deep and my healing spell can only do so much. Probably shouldn't have done all the stuff I've already done since then, but.

[mightthinkthat]

Perhaps you should go to someone else with healing abilities to augment it. [ Francis isn't altogether sure when it comes to that kind of thing. ]

[resipiscent]

Possibly, huh...? Guess I have no excuse, seeing as Sora has the same spell as I do. That might be prudent.

[He looks thoughtful. Honestly, he hadn't considered asking anybody else to do it.]

Maybe I will.

[mightthinkthat]

[ Hey, he doesn't mind being right. ] Good. Every little helps, anyway.

[resipiscent]

It does, yeah. Though I'm almost done, so honestly, it might not be worth the time.

[mightthinkthat]

It's up to you, of course.

[resipiscent]

You're right.

So with your protest, it's just a... general thing? "Write whatever you're upset about and put it on a sign" isn't very specific.

[justimom]

I feel the impact of saying you are a Tory is lost on one who has little knowledge of what that entails.

[mightthinkthat]

A conservative politician. Invariably we seek to uphold traditional values and it's rare to find us on the picket line.

[justimom]

I see. I believe I have read of some similar groups in my studies of Earth politics. I must admit you all have one of the stranger ways of conducting your politics.

[mightthinkthat]

Oh?

[justimom]

Yours is one of the only planets I have encountered with so many different factors.

[mightthinkthat]

That strikes me as odd. It's a result of variation and coming out of cultures that only talk to each other when they could, which is less often the further back you go. Homogeneousness takes a lot more effort to create.

[justimom]

In that you might be surprised. Many of the other races in the galaxy are much more similar.

[mightthinkthat]

Hive minds, you mean?

[justimom]

No,though there are some of those. To put it simply,it seems that humans have much more varied species on their planet than many other races have.

[mightthinkthat]

You've lost me on the correlation.

[justimom]

[ She chuckles. ]It is correct to say that you have many groups of people on your planet with completely different cultures from one another,yes?

[mightthinkthat]

I wouldn't say completely different, but are you saying you don't? Because they all did start from the one, you know.
