{ yet again, when ayato turns on the camera to do an announcement, he's only half in the screen. part of his face is concealed, just about showing the lower half of his face, shoulders and chest. sadly he's willing to recognise that while he could just type this out, it would take him an awfully long time and while he could just do voice, it doesn't grab attention in the same way.

so, here we are. }

Hello, again.

Last time I voiced something on here it was regarding information I found on the past of this world. I'm still trying to uncover more, but I have started assembling information pamphlets for those that arrive and would like a deeper understanding of the world we're in with what I have already.

On that note, I've managed to acquire a job at the government here with the title 'Otherworldy Ambassador'. Granted, it is not as fancy as it may seem. I'm merely working on a proposition that will aid all of us in these new circumstances, along with the citizens here who are dealing with the changes. I have gathered support from Olwen for this, if only because he understands there is more needed to ensuring people's safety after they are brought here.

I'm reaching out here today to see if there is any interest in helping in any form. While I cannot promise paid jobs right away, I will say there are means we can use to work with the government for extra posts, if anyone is interested. Otherwise, I seek collaboration with anyone wishing to set up a business or charity that may be related to this. I'm considering aspects such as combat, strategy, supply line management and other logistics, counselling... as you can see, there is likely something that may be helpful for most. Of course, this is not the only route nor am I likely the only person trying to work towards something like this, I'm merely offering my expertise if anyone should wish to use it. It's still a work in progress, after all, with hopefully an office or a meeting point ready to be used next month.

Please feel free to respond here or send something to my inbox directly, I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I imagine it has changed over time, but I couldn't say for certain. But likewise. I have no intention of being disrespectful to someone who has proven to be thoughtful of others.

I'll leave it to you to consider how you'd like to proceed, however, and if you want to consider something in a more official capacity I'd be more than willing to help in that regard.

And for what it's worth, I don't see how forcing anyone into anything garners trust or respect. { he's referring to what she said before, about having a choice.

what is left unsaid is that only by someone willingly making that choice is loyalty actually shown. taking power by use of fear doesn't instil loyalty. but friendship, thoughtfulness, care and other things can do. }

[It might be left unsaid but she hears it nonetheless, it being something that she believes very strongly herself. She doesn't want to make a rush into a decision here though so rather than do that right now she simply gives a small nod.]

I'll give it some thought. Should I come to the decision to involve myself directly with the government here as you have I will let you know.

[That seems like the polite thing to do.]

[acquirement]

Very well. For now though, merely odd jobs that help improve our relations with the locals here would be more than enough I'd think. So far things do seem to be improving, but I don't expect it to happen instantly.

{ there's no pressure for her to decide anytime soon, and hopefully that will relieve any worries she may have had. }

[vennessa]

It would be foolish to expect an immediate change. I would think there would be some push-back before any acceptance at all.

[Yes, she has time to think about it... but the temptation to be on the inside of things is probably going to be what wins out in the end.]

But I agree with you. Bringing people around one at a time through minor acts might sound like it's going to take far too long, but people talk.

[acquirement]

I agree. Besides, it shows we care about the smaller matters as well. It's important that we do, really, for any of this to work. Small gestures can be more important than grand gestures if they're consistent and honest enough.

you good if I wrap this up here? :>

[vennessa]

Heh, you're right.

[She makes a small note off-screen and then shoots Ayato a smile.]

But I've taken up enough of your time, I'm sure. Thank you for all your hard work, Ayato.
