[Crane sends the address out at 3pm sharp. He stands hunched against a wall with a bundle of files in his arms. Those with an eye for detail might notice math problems on a public whiteboard on the right; peppered with numerous red corrections that range from simple corrections to veiled insults.]
What affect have our ambassadors had on our lives?
[He turns his attention to the camera, eyes hooded. His tone is calm and polite but with a measure of boredom to it.]
Do we possess the same rights as native people? Does the government provide adequate care? Is it safe where we live? [In Maurtia Falls especially.] Who enacts the laws that rule our lives? Who legislates for education and social security? Ambassadors are our representatives - yet they are intimately acquainted with the culture of our hosts. Does this cozy arrangement mean they are politically trusted because they don't ask questions and challenge official stories? In simple terms, what do our ambassadors do for us?
[His fingertips grasp his chin.]
Also, one last question: who amongst us might earn your future nomination? Count Dooku, perhaps? Now there's a man with a political mind...
[Koma-san June 2016. Never forget.]

[Tell him your troubles, Adachi.]
no subject
Yeah, especially when you catch youself clinging to the shitty ideals and views that made your world a crappy place to be.
no subject
It sounds like you need new ideals, then.

I'm working on it. It's hard, but I'm trying.
[ He paused, a bit of a goofy smile coming to his face, though his uncertainty and nervousness was still obvious. ]
I-I'm actually going out with a guy tonight.
[ ...at least he thinks? Inanna's gender was still a big question mark to him. ]

You'll have a good time if you don't mess it up.
[Good for you, Adachi.]
no subject
I'm worried about that. Messing it up. But... I hope it'll be okay.
[ How unexpectedly honest. ]
no subject
[Work. Effort... the things he has trouble with, doesn't he?]
no subject
[ Wow, it's almost like he grew up a little. What the hell, Adachi. ]
no subject
Well, I was certainly not expecting that from you...
no subject
Ah, well... After working with Dooku-san on the RISE and the breakout investigations, business kind of picked up. I had to take it seriously.
no subject
[How long will this last?]
I wish you the best of luck.
no subject
Heh... thanks.
