National News Radio: A large-scale infrastructure project will soon be underway. During this time, for safety reasons, the island will be closed to tourists and foreign news agents. We do expect a minor loss in revenue due to this, but this will be greatly offset by both the long and short-term benefits of the infrastructure project. If your job is negatively impacted by the island closure, please send a letter or verbal message via courier to the Council so that we can add you to the list of beneficiaries of foreign aid.

The events that had caused this misery were fixed. There was nothing he could do. Absentmindedly, he scanned Ogenbond and flicked them back to the older office. As the screams of the future ceased, he turned to Paulson. "I'm afraid, Erik, that there isn't much that I can do to help your people. I'm sorry about that." He kicked over Ogenbond's waste paper basket in frustration, then continued. "But the least I do is get you back to them. If I return you to the correct point in time, I can cancel out the temporal dissonance. Your time will stop overlapping ours, and the World Assembly of the future can help you recover. By then they might be able to find you a new place to settle, and keep Wallenburg going." He sighed, knowing that that this was the most likely scenario. But he straightened himself up, knowing at least that it should work. "Come back to the bar." Ambassador Pink said, holding open the office door. "This might cheer you up a little."

All I can say is that I was busy with college, which is no excuse to not at least make mention that I'd have an absence, and to make a long story short then left on a religious mission from which I am home on a temporary medical release (presently I am quite healthy, so no worries). Like I said, though, that's no excuse for going off the radar so abruptly, and I'm sorry for that. I'm only here very temporarily, but I wanted to pop in, say hello, and participate a bit while I'm here. It might be days, might be week; only time will tell. And this time I'll give some advance notice before I leave again!

Two bowls of cream in one day was a jackpot! "Was it because you's so talky?" he asked.

Wallenburg wrote:Ogenbond follows Ambassador Pink back into the bar. A few moments behind them enters Paulson. "Well, I could use a drink," says the grim Wallenburgian. Ogenbond orders him a drink and then looks to Pink. "Well, Ambassador, that was certainly a unique experience. Perhaps I'll have to ask to tag along on a less depressing adventure with you into the future. Or the past."
Wallenburg wrote:"Mr. Ogenbond, you are going to have a lot on your hands in the next few years. You will hardly have time to go running off into alternate timelines. You have no idea."
Ogenbond nods dismissively. "I know, representing two semi-unified republics certainly is not a walk in the park, but--"
"Oh, that?" interrupts Paulson. "No, that's just the beginning. Your office calendars say that it is 1941, yes? Watch the elections, closely. You can't do anything about them by now, but they will change Wallenburg permanently. Ah, there's my drink."
Liagolas wrote:The Mouth of the Dominion, now happily guzzling at its drink with a swirly straw, turns about in its stool as it notices a trio of figures enter.
"Mr. Ogenbond!" it says, waving a hand as it recognizes the Wallenburgian. As its gaze falls upon Ambassadors Pink and Paulson, it adds, "And two strangers the Dominion doesn't recognize! A good day to each of you." Suddenly, however, it notices the slightly grim mood surrounding them. "Ah... it is the query of the Dominion to ask what is troubling the three of you. It is the observation of the Dominion that you all look as if you'd seen a ghost."

Whovian Tardisia wrote:"By some accounts it would appear I have!" Ambassador Pink exclaimed, extending his hand to the Mouth. It is perhaps almost too trusting, taking the matter in stride, but the Mouth has seen far stranger than a beyond-extreme makeover, and it now recognizes the ambassador's word choice and gestures. "The Dominion may find this hard to believe, but this is indeed Ambassador Rupert Pink to which it speaks. I share the Dominion's pleasure in the return of it's most sociable Mouth, but it would appear that it's Hand over there is not so keen... No matter. Please, join us!" He encourages, gesturing to a nearby empty booth. "The Dominion should be caught up on recent events, I feel."

The eagle-eared would not that this was most certainly the same voice as belonged to the First Hand of the Mouth, called "Sam" within some circles behind the Dominion's back. "It is the announcement of the Dominion that the body referred to previously as the First Hand for the Mouth has and shall henceforth commence ambassadorial training under the counsel of the Mouth to the World Assembly." It halts, as abruptly as it started.
The Mouth chuckles and adds, "What a turn of events, is it not?" It sounds somewhat amused; there is even some surprise in its tone, despite presumably having already known for some time. "But forgive the Dominion's interruption. What is new?"
by Liagolas » Sat Jan 06, 2018 7:22 pm
Whovian Tardisia wrote:"I congratulate this Hand, and expect great things of it." Ambassador Pink responded, deciding not to use the moniker created seemingly in jest all that time ago, as he worried that 'Sam' would react harshly to it after having been away so long. "I suppose the most obvious development as of late would be my literal change of face." He began. "Natural biological mechanism of my species, triggered by an attack of creatures most foul that would have killed most living things. There is also my recent drafting work, although that will likely come up soon enough by other means. But the WA as a whole has experienced the usual ups and downs, proposals and repeals, including an enormous malarkey regarding marriage. I doubt the Dominion is even concerned with such things." It suddenly occurred to Pink that he himself was a bit unaware of general proceedings; he had mainly been focused on his own affairs as of late. "At any rate, it is a pleasure to speak with this Mouth again. To good health!" He concluded, raising his glass.

The Mouth doesn't recognize ambassador, and so waves in greeting. "Good day to you, Ambassador. It is the observation of the Dominion that you have been representing Imperium Anglorum; is that correct? The Dominion of Liagolas is pleased to make acquaintance."

Iksana pulls a water bottle out of the box and sets it in the ‘keep’ pile. “You’re welcome. Some people try to defend it as a ‘product of its time’ but really, you’d have to try really hard to convince me that some of that shit was considered appropriate back then. Was it that season I gave you that made fun of the modernization of Sonari, or was that a different one?”
