I know that there have been deep concerns raised about the state of the work done by the Ambassadors. I urge you to, if you have questions, concerns, or any other matter that you suspect we may be able to assist you with, to contact us.

My office is always open to petitioners, and I am more than pleased to speak to the populace on any matter.

I thank you, especially those of De Chima, for your constancy and your support, and I urge you to contact me if you require assistance for any issue, great or small.

Baelish is planning something. First the library and now the pictures of him around the city.

His ambitions aren't limited to being an ambassador.

We might want to consider doing more good works with the city. Not a library, but something? If we're not careful, he might try to spread his influence to De Chima.

I do not think it wise to speak of such things if we are not together.

[song_of_ice]

Then where are you?

[dendarii]

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Honestly, I thought this sort of thing goes without saying.

[illuminescent]

I should hope it does, and yet I say it in the case some need encouragement.

[dendarii]

Apparently so. I'm really not sure why my came up, for example.

Wise words, your Majesty. The communication of concerns to representatives is vital to a democracy, after all.

I don't believe I have had the honour of speaking with you before, although I have certainly followed the fine work you have done for De Chima. I am Count Dooku.

[illuminescent]

Ah, of course. It is a pleasure, Count. And I thank you muchly for your commendation on my work, sir.

[dun_moch]

But of course. The fine work of your clinic is a shining example of our community's humanitarian potential.

You may be aware that a recent episode of my podcast encouraged my listeners to contact the offices of Ambassadors with any concerns they might have. I do not know how many people might have heeded my suggestions, however.

I kind of miss living in a country where the most controversial political thing was whether aliens should be offered amnesty.

( She sighs, shaking her head. It's been a weird two months here. )

I appreciate how direct you are about that, ma'am. I've heard of a lot of things it's probably not a good idea to talk about in public.

But if you saw that anonymous broadcast from a little while ago, that's what I'm referring to.

[illuminescent]

Should you like to speak more privately, then?

Ah-

Well. There are always those who do not agree so readily with us.

[ex_clobbers559]

That would be a good idea for both of us, I think. Yeah.

( She heaves a sigh, twirling a lock of hair about her index finger. )

I'm predisposed to be wary of messages like those for reasons of my own. Did you want to meet? I can get pretty much anywhere in a jiffy.

[ With a bit of irritation: ]

Honestly, it oughtn't even need to be said. Don't mistake me, I'll never fault people for speaking truth to power, but there's something to be said for someone speaking truth to power. Rather than muttering angrily to unrelated people.

[illuminescent]

Oh, yes, I do agree. You see, I feel as though what is said to me, without hesitation, most clearly, allows me better to determine what the people wish.

But I know, too, that some people do not know that they can always come find us. That we work for them.

[rathercommon]

Yeah, that wasn't a matter of not knowing that you're an elected representative and answerable to us and all that. It was a matter of not caring. Really arseholey.

Well, I'm...definitely not jealous of your job. But I'm glad to hear you want to work hard to make things right. So if you need support, I'll back you up. At least-- I'll get to a point where I can support you and everyone else out.

For what it's worth...I'll root for you!

voice

[illuminescent]

What a kind thing to day! Thank you very much.

May I know your name?

Re: voice

[siriusly]

A-- Manabu. Manabu Yuuki.

And if it helps any...things seem a lot less crazy than they were a couple years ago. So-- there's that...

[uncledad]

How kind and diplomatic of you to make plain your open doors, my lady.

But I must ask--has something happened that has moved you to address your-- what would you call them? Your people?

[like 'vassals' is probably not right]

voice;

[illuminescent]

The citizens who elected me to assist them, I should imagine is what I would call them, sir.

No, nothing has happened, as such.

voice;

[uncledad]

Now that is a mouthful.

I am glad to hear the citizens who elected you have no present cause for worry. Shouldn't that go without saying?

[deadsmizing]

So how open is your office to social... calls?

[illuminescent]

Oh, please do. I am quite burdened with tea and sweets.

Ambassador,

I'm attaching the log of a conversation, raising an idea which might fall under your purview?

As accessibility of elected representatives is not always the given it should be, I appreciate your emphasis on it.

Dear Resident,

I find this to be a most compelling idea, although I fear the return of one might be quite a shock to the system! However, I do admire the notion, and I should think most seriously on it.
