text ↪ un: steve.rogers, dated before the closed door meeting

[fossils]

Everyone's already got their hands full so I'll cut to the chase:

There's room at the table for us at the upcoming meeting between Capt. Childe and the Thessyx representatives. Don't know how many seats or what's going to be discussed, but if you want to be the one representing us, or otherwise got any strong feelings on the matter

Now's the time to speak up.

( ooc: the mods said they'll be RNGing to pick from candidates for the closed door meeting! but if you've put your character forward OOCly already feel free to use this post to make their case ICly, groupchat amongst each other, etc! )

I'm no stranger to diplomatic meetings. More than willing to participate, if it comes to that.

Good point about our hosts. Maybe something symbolic? A title? Something ceremonial but singular for their leader? May be worth doing something similar for our hosts.

I could make something physical, if you have any ideas in mind.

I don't know if kinetic art would be appropriate, but I can do something like that relatively easily. Technically cheap, so I don't know if that's offensive. I got really into David C. Roy's work for a few years, faux-perpetual motion sculptures look really tasteful.

Otherwise, if you need a lot of material moved or shaped really fast, let me know.

Cheap may not be a problem when any materials here are considered precious. On the one hand, I'm not certain we won't offend our hosts by dedicating that many materials to our new arrivals.

If we do something like that, perhaps it could be a gift to our hosts that the new arrivals are invited to -- an art opening of sorts.

Tragically, once you shift away from the building to the event planning, I'm officially out of my depth.

If you guys think of anything you need put together, you know where to find me :)

We've gotten the clearance from Childe to present a play and a musical number. If you'd like to include an art piece in that, we can coordinate the presentation. Your choice.

From what you've told me before, I don't doubt it.

I'd vote for waiting to see how things shake out first, but it's not my call to make. Weaverville over there looks like he's got some ideas though.

[portolan]

I agree on waiting to gather more information, but acquisitioning and preparing something that feels formal and not slapdash does take time. If it's something we want in our back pocket, we need to get started on it.

That's fair.
