[Standing before the coral with a hand perched on her hip and a megaphone in the other, Shelly, still damp but drier from her sodden arrival, begins her announcement in a firm, less-than-pleased tone as the fairy beside her flutters about quietly.]

Attention [ -- the rest is drowned out by a high-pitched screech as the megaphone adjusts -- ] !

What you have committed is a severely punishable offense that will not go unheard by the Republic's Senate. However, before you respond to the matter of your crime, I demand an explanation.

[She lowers the megaphone, waiting.]

[Were you thinking it . . . ]

Nonsense? [A slight hum.] I suppose I will. It won't do me good any longer.

[Did I say that? N O P E. /halo]

You're only wasting your energy. Struggling like that... You're new, aren't you? Who are you?

[ex_diplomacy861]

[(nottalking)]

Of course I'm new. [Not meant to sound snippy, just saying.] I am the head senator of the Turemilian Republic. Shelly Greenhill.

And you?

[beautifies]

Hajime Tounomine. I'm unfamiliar with your world. I'd have recognized a name like that before.

[ex_diplomacy861]

My . . . world. I take it you actively keep up with your world's politics, then, at least.

[Strange as the concept of a separate world is.]

[beautifies]

[He knows enough of the world news to call himself an informed citizen. Probably. Since he is ~perfect~ desu.]

I am. Why do you ask?

[ex_diplomacy861]

[O-oh. So paa-peku-to.]

Aren't I allowed to be curious? Not everyone pays attention to worldly goings-on.

[beautifies]

[Bout time you realized that already!!]

If our worlds aren't the same, then it doesn't really matter.

[ex_diplomacy861]

[What if I reject it!!]

It shows character. Is that a bad thing?
