lostnetwork | ITP: Getting the ball rolling.

'This is how these sort of things start, don't they? First a sudden change in leaders, then monitoring, then Willow and a lot of others are supposedly being sent home, and now there's gossip going around the Mudcap about how the Council is going to start pushing various sanctions and such on us. Now Haruki is in jail for just trying to speak to an official--although to be fair I could see him getting pushy enough to warrant it. Just not for how long they intend to keep him there.

I wish there was a way I could meet with people in person to talk about this, but if we're really being monitored then it's a moot point. Sooner or later someone has to step up and didn't I decide I'd look out for Haruki more after the last time I got dragged someplace unfamiliar? This isn't home. What is there here that I have to lose?'

Hey, uhhh, my name is //////, but most people call me Kyonko and does anyone else want to do something about these light balls following us around?

Because it feels like there's something really shady going on in general lately and i'd like to get to the bottom of it. Only, I can't do this myself. I don't even know where to start. If anyone has ideas or would like to help me could you let me know?

'That didn't sound so lame in my head. I wonder how long it'll be before I get thrown in jail or mysteriously get sick, too, for bringing this up.'

[maybe he'll reveal himself later, but it's probably not a good idea to go babbling about this publicly. besides, they are roommates. they can always talk about this]

I would be happy to support you and your endeavors.

'Not surprised this is anon. I need to figure out that function sometime.'

Thanks. Any ideas on how I even start? I've never done anything like this before in my life.

I'd suggest sending in some sort of spy to the government to take notes. This happens to be my specialty, though I do not know if the government would allow an "Otherworlder" like myself get near those offices.

Considering they've dismissed every Otherworlder already in the government and sent them to their homeworld, I doubt it'll work. We might be able to get help from someone already in the government if we ask around.

[there is a pause here and just a blinking cursor...]

[after about a minute the reply comes]

They sent the Otherworlders working in the government home? Does this mean miss Rosenberg and Doctor Stein as well?

Yeah. Every last one and the government is claiming they 'earned' the right to go home. Except last time I checked Willow and her boyfriend wanted to stay here since they're from different worlds.

[on the other side of the mirror, he is... well, not sure what to feel. a mix of sadness, anger, relief... but mostly sadness. Willow and Stein were his friends... well, at least Willow was. not sure of what to call Stein]

I see. Well, that is troubling. There is something definitely going on in the government. We need to get in.

I know. Or at least try to talk to a few politicians about whatever is going on. At the very least get someone besides Madam Speaker to confirm if these things they have following us are actually recording what we're doing or not.

[She definitely misses Willow. Willow had been pretty much the only official Kyon was okay talking with.]

[Willow was nice and caring. she genuinely seemed she cared about people]

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks.

Can't help ya if you need subtlety -I kinda stick out like a sore thumb even back on Earth ::He gestures to his eyes as he says that.::- but if you need anyone or anything roughed up, I'm your man. I wanna know what's up with the damn spy balls too!

Uhhhh.... I think roughing people up might give us waaay more trouble than it's worth.

…Damn. Uh. Paperwork? I can do paperwork? Or diploma- ah who am I kidding, the awesome me really is better at fighting than talking, even if I know all the convincing ways to stand…

Maybe that Japanese kid was right…

Japanese kid?

'Is he talking about who I think he's talking about?'

Yeah. A guy. Looked a little younger than me? Also he was an ass.

That sounds like Haruki.

[John hasn't really considered it before, but now that Kyonko has mentioned something...]

Well, maybe we could talk to the person who made them follow us in the first place? It's been a while now, so I think whatever they were monitoring us for has passed now.

Last person who tried to talk to her is in jail now. Even then, assuming we were in cahoots with the Krasp'rek Tribe when they invaded is kind of flimsy reasoning for us to be monitored.

[Pfft to talking about this on this stupid network thing. Not that Nami has anything intelligent to contribute, but you don't talk about the government on the government's feed either way, as far as she's concerned.

She'll come knock on Kyonko's door instead. :Db]

[Kyonko is completely convinced those stupid light balls are actually watching them. Hence her basically not caring if it's secret or not.

She answers the door.]

uh, hi Nami. What's up?

[Nami suspects you may be right, but just in case it helps!...

...smiling brightly.]

I want them gone. [How's that for a hello?] Have you got any thoughts at all?
