Reaching Out

Who: Nicholas Reeve and all interested in his Native/Visitor Diplomacy group
Where: The Nadeisico
Summary: Nick proposes a group which can help mediate some of the tensions between the Visitors and the natives. But he may have a few side goals in mind too...
Warnings: Presumably none.

Nick's been through a lot of different things in his life, but he has to admit it's the first time he's ever been in a space battleship, let alone hosted a MEETING in one. Hell, it's the first time he's hosted a meeting, period. But something has to be done, and he knows it.

He'd seen the anger. Real or manufactured, something was threatening to explode unless they as arrivals -- voluntary or otherwise -- confronted it face on. To ignore such a thing during a period in time like this would be to invite disaster, and quite possibly this great and terrible danger the people who had disappeared had been sent to confront. Whether or not this world was truly his own, that just wouldn't cut it. After all, he's all too familiar with the notion of destroyed worlds...

He looks around at the setup. It's sort of weird, hanging out in a place with giant robots to conduct business. He hopes people don't get too distracted by that. At the same time, this is really the only place to do this. Some of Nick's ideas might be a bit, well, controversial. Still, even if people DON'T go along with his secondary objective, hopefully they'll still be amenable to the primary.

Still, his plans would work better with help.

Pit shows up 15 minutes late with Starbucks.

...actually, the reason why he was "late" was because he was too busy taking in his surroundings. "Wow, this is an awesome place for a meeting!"

Ruri is watching, its her ship after all, so she's waving slightly to people as they come in in her usual deadpan way. Occasionally she walks over to a flashing monitor, and fiddles with it, occasionally she can be seen watching the ramp.
electricyousei: (Ruri stare)

"Actually, if I had more time I would have set up one of the conference rooms. We can watch movies there."
gforceinmyfaaaace: (something we can both agree on)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-03-01 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
"That would have been even more awesome!"

Because clearly you can get a lot of things done by watching a movie instead of discussing what you all came here to discuss.
electricyousei: (nani naze)

"Actually, most of the upper decks need a lot of work. This ship sadly needs a crew to do much."
gforceinmyfaaaace: (pitushi)

"Oh. I'd offer to help, but I'm a little busy, myself."

Hahahaha 'a little busy'

"...plus I don't know anything about how to take care of space ships." Blowing up space ships though? That he can do!
electricyousei: (eh?)

"Its really just mopping and dusting, but that's fine."

Pardon Io as she stares at everything. Space battleships aren't exactly common where she's from, either.

Ginko meanders onto the spaceship, following some steps behind other meeting attendees who looked like they knew where they were going. Hands in his pockets, he eyes the inside of the Nadesico and fights the urge to squint at how brightly-lit everything is, compared to what he's used to.

He doesn't engage, though he doesn't stay away from the group, either. He'll hover somewhere nearby the only one he knows so far; the meeting's author, Nick.
hetried: (Agape ✰ oh my god what's wrong with the)

Not being distracted...yeah that was definitely not something Daichi was managing. I mean, he had been all for the mediary stuff! He wasn't the best at PR, but he had seen people getting angry, and damnit, he wanted to help!

Of course he was...kind of completely distracted by their current surroundings. Don't mind him
sorefeetman: (that suits me fine)

[personal profile] sorefeetman 2013-03-02 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ginko replied with a smile; apparently time would tell.

"I don't have any experience with politics, so we'll see how useful I can be. Just thought it'd be a good idea to listen in, at least. You don't mind?"
pastalishe: (why yes. I do rule the world!)

Thanks to her visit to the Nadeisco with Asem, Cloche can hide the awe she still feels walking into the massive ship. Since this meeting is, in her mind, a very serious matter for all the Visitors who choose to attend, she's wearing her full Holy Maiden regalia: rapier, feathery shawl, sun-shaped headdress and all.

She's pleased to see that so many other Visitors have come to attend the meeting; it's good to see that there are others who want to be proactive about reaching out to the local citizens of Hinoto-Ri.
hetried: (Bleh ✰ seriously)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-02 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
"--Huh?"

Yep. Distracted. He hastily turns to look at Nick when he's addressed, trying to laugh it off as he answers. "Nah, it's fine! I mean, I think any place in a city like this'll be pretty distracting-- I actually think it's kinda cool."

"The Nadesico is... Special. She was a symbol of single minded stupidity and determination back home, and I don't want the tradition to die here. Still, without her crew she's not 1/10th of the wonder she can be."
echo_of_a_jedi: (I can see what you're imagining)

[personal profile] echo_of_a_jedi 2013-03-02 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fancy," is the Jedi's only comment on the space battleship. She's practically lived on these things before, so really, the only difference is that this one's shinier.

Meetra was still recovering from her trip to the Tower of Animus, but as she hadn't been gravely injured, she made it here as soon as she checked her COMP backlog.

"Is this the diplomatic meeting?"

Cloche accepts Nick's hand, giving it a firm shake. "But of course; considering the situation, I wouldn't want to miss this meeting for the world. I have to commend you for organizing it."
