Hello! This is a little sudden, but I'd like to hear some opinions. Anyone who has time, please go ahead and answer! Does it seem to you like the native folks are getting better at keeping the basic requirements of human life in mind? How should a person bargain for things like meal breaks, sleep breaks and so on with potential employers who haven't needed such things themselves in thousands of years? Would it even be possible to persuade someone like that? Would it be possible for someone with an ordinary, mundane human body to impersonate a robot? How would you do it? Would there be a punishment if you got caught, do you think? This is all just brainstorming, so please don't worry about wrong answers! Thank you!

I guess that could happen, now that I think about it--their numbers don't increase, but ours can. Who knows when they'll suddenly kidnap a a whole bunch of new people at once? That's true--it is a worry. We spent such a long time without any kind of medical care before they finally set up a clinic for us last year. They really could slip up at any time!

As strange as it sounds, I don't think they're kidnapping people for vile reasons. [Surprisingly...] but they're bound to slip up at some point. They don't really know what humans need to get by. As I said before though, if they need our help, they're going to have to look into these things.

Has anybody told them what humans' needs are previously? If not, it would be a good idea to do so.

It's not like I don't feel bad for them, but kidnapping for any reason is still kidnapping! They might be doing a little better for us these days, but that doesn't change it! Grand Emissary Magolor used to talk to them on our behalf, when he was still here.... He really was noble, a diligent representative for us small folk.

I agree. A crime is still a crime, no matter what reason it's for. It doesn't matter if it's for a good reason or not.

[In his opinion, it's not a good reason, but he's also not interested in helping either.]

And nobody else has stepped up to fill the role?

[ Kyoko's not sure she would object to something just on the basis of being a crime no matter what, but hey, this guy's got the spirit! It's not a point she needs to argue right now. ]

Not really, I don't think? I haven't heard of anyone taking surveys the way he used to, or making a point to go to the city council or whoever on behalf of us all. If somebody's doing that, they're not being very outspoken about it.

[She's also talking to somebody who has a very twisted view on justice and law. He's also a detective working with the police -- or has in the past anyway -- he's bound to have thoughts on that.]

So you might just need to seek someone out who would fit the role well. There's no shame in asking for something like that.

[He also phrases this in a particular way because he's not interested in the role.]

The role of a new emissary, you mean? That's a big responsibility... I don't know if I could just dump that on someone. But it WOULD be nice to have someone representing us again....

You wouldn't really dump it on somebody so much as offering the position. Those who are interested in the job will rise to the challenge, I'm sure. I'm sure there's probably somebody here who would be interested.

I would offer myself, but I don't think I'm a good fit for the job. [He just doesn't care enough.]

Maybe so... but if they're not just volunteering on their own, maybe that kind of thing should be an elected position? Ah, all of this is a little out of my wheelhouse, to be honest ^_^;;

So why not suggest the idea? Put out something regarding the position idea, see if somebody is interested, and put it to a vote.

There's no reason why it couldn't be an elected position. All you have to do is try. You won't get anything done if you never take action on it. What good is an idea if you never do anything past talk about it?

I guess so... It seems like you're pretty interested in all this, yourself.

Not really. I'll be blunt. I have no interest in this endeavor. I just don't care for people who talk big but do nothing to act on it.

[Not that he's saying she's necessarily doing this, but it's still tiring.]

If you really want an ambassador or something for those of use brought here, then you'll do something about it somehow. Take my advice or leave it. That's up to you.

I wish you luck.

[ Wh...at? ]

You were the one who asked about it though...? I wasn't trying to get you to persuade me or anything.

[ She thought they were just having a normal conversation? Dude?? ]

My questions kinda didn't have anything to do with what we ended up talking about, but that's my fault for not giving details.... You didn't have to keep talking to me for this long if it was annoying, though.

[Why was he still messaging? That was the real question. It was time to abort.]

Nevermind. I didn't intend to make this confusing. I should have been more clear myself. My apologies.
