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! )

[ He knows it won't be cohesive or particularly excellent technically, but his hope is a performance of humanity will endear the Thessyx and the festivities will be a good diversion for their hosts. ]

Childe approved the play and a musical performance after. I look forward to whatever you arrange. If you need a rehearsal audience, I'm available.

[Balthier has reasonable goals. Trish is a teenage girl so her forethought lies in how embarrassing this could potentially be, but if other people are on board...it's worth a shot.

Speaking of, she's surprised to hear this news. Since well, he makes it sound like news. She'll admit she didn't think about asking permission...]

Already? That was quick.

I may take you up on that as well. But I have to ask: are you a musician of some kind or an enthusiast only?

[She thought very briefly about having Bruno listen in...but she doesn't think he would have any nuanced advice for her. He was a jazz lover and that was the end of his music opinions. This person is a mystery, however.]

[ Balthier has been too preoccupied with getting things ready for the upcoming diplomacy meeting with the thessyx to stop and consider Trish's age. He's placed her as early 20s, as that's his age minus a year or two. ]

Amateur myself, but had ten years of music and music theory lessons.

[ Not to mention the number of performances he was invited to or snuck into over the years. Aristocrat's education with a pirate's need to experience the exclusive. ]

If you've someone else in mind, though, I have plenty to do. I look forward to your performance either way.

[Trish: I'm not old!

Also Trish: Would be very flattered that she comes across older than she actually is when it suits her.

That aside, she's surprised to find someone who actually has experience...Balthier is a unicorn among the hatchlings.]

Huh. I wasn't expecting that.

[This man has music cred!]

I'll be honest, my only other choice in audience wouldn't be any help. [sorry, Bruno---] If you have time, I'll pull you aside to be my second pair of ears. How's that?

[portolan]

Excellent. Feel free to ping me here.

[ Great to have that squared away. Balthier appreciates the help. ]
