TY: Ummm. What?

TY: Huh... what?

TY: Wh.... what?

TY: What? Oh. No. Ummm. It means, it's a girl. A baby. I mean, ummm, "Kay" is in labor. At least, that's what her, umm-- (he looks at his tablet) her "text-based communicator plant" says. I think. Look, I don't know, I'm just an unpaid intern, for cryin' out loud!

"That's how many of us start on the diplomatic career," Janis said with a grin. "However, right now you're the only Wrapperian present, so that makes you the representative of your nation. Neville, I think the young man here needs one of those poison cocktails you make for Ahume and Ari. Ty, if you let me buy a medicinal cocoa on your tab, say "what"."

"An interview of those I'm dealing with here. It would help if I actually knew all of you instead of guessing your names. I may be a Matriarch, but I can't read your mind. Also, I plan on making a record so the empress to which I owe aligence can better understand you all. I will ask a few questions, and record your answers, then post it on the diplomatic network so anyone Neyla sends will know who and what you are and what you believe."

TY: (sniffles a bit) What? Ummm. Oh. Okay. Ummm, Neville, a medicinal cocoa for the lady, and, ummm....

(He looks at Janis -- a "poison cocktail"? that sounds nasty! -- and tries to recall a drink he shared with Steph on his first day in the bar.)

TY: And a... "scotch"? Yes, a "scotch".

Janis waited until their drinks had been served and then carefully raised her steaming mug in a toast. "Cheers," she said and sipped carefully. "Now, Ty, how did a delightfully innocent young Wad such as yourself end up working in the Festering Snakepit?"

(Ty takes a quick swig and shudders.)

Unnnnh. Oh. I'm on a work-study program through my university. The Jackson Institute. I'm studying political science, getting course credit for this internship. What about you... ummm... sorry, I don't know your name. I've heard Ari call you a dozen different names in the short time I've been here.

Rila puts her tablet away and orders something to eat, having neglected to bring her own food.

Janis chuckled. "Yes, he does that on purpose. Sometimes I suspect he says things intentionally wrong, just so Ahume has to correct him. Just you watch and he'll do something similar to you too - actually, maybe leaving you here alone to hold the fort is just that; forcing you to mingle with your "superiors". Do you believe we're your superiors, Ty?" She gave him a grin and then held out her hand. "Janis Leveret, from Araraukar. Not a WA nation, but that's never stopped me from partaking an argument."

AHUME: NOW! Let's go!

(Ari and Ahume race out of the bar.... leaving Ty behind.)

CODE PINK? AHHHHH! No no no no no no not a Code Pink, ANYTHING but a Code Pink I'd rather get run over by a monster truck then ehhhhhh wait wait wait what the hell is a Code Pink?

Deciding that his human was probably too focused on playing cat-and-toytobeshreddedandthenlickedallbetter with mister What-a-Lot, the Chief Inshpekshuuner jumped up onto Herby's hood.

"He is being very chilly, rumbly car," the black cat said in an amused tone, "it was the other two that are his kind that were not chilly. I wonders how many humankittens Kay will have? You takes bets, yes? I say two, and I bets a promise not to hork hairballs on you when you's dormi- dormu- not moving or talking."

"You has a deal, rumbly car," the Chief Inshpekshuuner said and then curled down where he sat. "I's gonna stay here a bit to see how my human plays with her food. Well, she wouldn't eat him, like eat-eat, but she plays with him anyways."

TY: Oh. Ummm. Wad Ty Mizzit. Nice to meet you. (He winces slightly as they shake hands.) Ummm, considering that I am an unpaid intern, I'm sure everyone here is superior to me in a sense. Even the bartender. But I am learning how to mingle, I suppose. This helps, of course. (He raises his glass takes another swig of his scotch and shudders.)

"Unpaid intern or not, the stuff you do basically makes you an ambassadorial aide," Janis said, sipping her cocoa. "And aides can become acting ambassadors if something happens to the actual ambassadors - such as if they decide to dash off to a distant planet because someone their nation had condemned to death is giving birth. Heh, did you know that the PPU hivemind gained sentience partly because it ate an aide of mine?"

TY: Ummm. (He takes another swig and shudders again.) Okay so last time I was quote-unquote in charge I had been tasked with revising our repeal, but since the guys weren't around I went ahead and submitted it and Ari was all like you're an unpaid intern, that's not your job, blah blah blah blah, but you know it passed anyway so everything was cool but he told me like don't ever fucking do that again -- pardon my Goa'uld -- so yeah I know I'm not in charge even if it looks like I'm in charge.

(He tips his glass and shakes the remaining droplets of scotch into his mouth.)

TY: Ummm. Did you say it ate an aide of yours?

"Well, it grabbed and killed her before digesting her. We never did find out if it snapped her neck or did the constrictor snake thing, but it didn't matter much, really," Janis said and then shuddered. "I headed off to get a flamethrower, but by the time I got back to the office, the thing had filed for nation status and joined the WA. Would've still torched it, but my aides managed to stop me. Probably a good thing too; wouldn't have looked good on my resume to start a war with a WA nation, no matter how pathetic of a nation it was at the time."

OOC: That's how she got her flamethrower to start with. Where she got it, is probably best not known...
