It has been quite the few days, hasn't it been, Vatheon? That conversation appearing on the network --just who had posted that, anyway?-- the experiment and then the collapse of the bubble and the evacuation. It certainly kept everybody's hands quite busy and full. But now that things are looking at little more calm, with far fewer trips needed to ferry things from down in the bubble up to the island, Station Master makes his move, abandoning his post to seek out people. Who? Well, just about anyone. He seems to avoid groups, instead seeking out people while they are alone, whether wrapped up in some activity, or moving from on place to the other. His purpose? Unclear for now, but if you are a foreigner and you are on the island, you may very well find yourself with a sudden Station Master at your side.

How will you respond?

[Izumo is just walking along, minding her own business, when suddenly-]

...!!

[okay, she's been taught to be courteous to her elders, so she's just going to try and calm down...]

Um. Hello, sir. Is there something I could help you with...?

[thalassino]

[An upbringing that teaches you to be courteous to your elders is the best sort of upbringing!]

Hello miss. I was wondering if you could spare me a few minutes of your time. There is something I would like to discuss.

[twintailedtamer]

... Sure. What is it?

[Izumo hoped she wouldn't regret this]

[thalassino]

[Look at this face. Is this the face of an untrustworthy man?]

Thank you. I will get straight to the point and say that this concerns the current state of the bubble.

[twintailedtamer]

... Okay. What's your question?

[wait, did he say there was a question?]

[thalassino]

[He did not but he can roll with it.]

If it were possible, would you be interested lending your aid to fix it?

[twintailedtamer]

... depends on what I would have to do...?

[thalassino]

I cannot answer that right now.

I'm planning to hold a big meeting with everybody interested in restoring the coral on friday evening. I would like you to attend too. Once you have heard my full story, you can decide whether or not you wish to help.

[twintailedtamer]

... So basically, this is just a roundabout way of asking me to come to a meeting?

... Nothing... strange is going to be going on there, is it?

[thalassino]

You have my word that nothing strange will happen. All I would like to do is discuss the current situation with you and the others that have been brought here.

Though, I do have one request.

[twintailedtamer]

... what's that?

[thalassino]

Please leave your SFC at home.

[twintailedtamer]

[It takes Izumo only a few seconds to realize the implications of that]

I'll think about coming, then.

[short and to the point. She can't very well say what she wants to say out loud]

[thalassino]

Thank you very kindly. I'll take my leave then and leave you to your walk.

[screams internally]

[twintailedtamer]

Alright.

[and off she goes, as fast as her feet can carry her]
