[His voice is calm as he poses this question. It's a voice that wants to encourage discussion but not necessarily a heated debate.]

What is it that the United Earth wants from the Initiative that keeps us alive? That last curbstomping we received doesn't leave much room for debate about our chances.

Is it the tech? Are we a propaganda tool? An experiment?

Throw some ideas out there.

[And then the feed ends.]


[[OOC: Threadjumping and jacking are encouraged in this post! Blaine wants allllll the ideas.]]

[strategic_guile]

I'll be there.


[[Change to action? Or handwave? I leave it in your hands /o/]]

[legal_eagle]

((Let's action it! If you will forgive my abominable slowness crying))



[Sonya's waiting at the agreed-upon cafe at the appointed time, tapping busily away on her network device, one leg swinging. There's a faint smile on her face; she looks completely absorbed.]

[strategic_guile]

[[Backtagging is my bread and butter. We shall action...! Slowly!]]

[Blaine was a few minutes early but watched her for a minute before coming to the table she's sitting at.]

You look like you're enjoying yourself. I thought I was running early. Mind if I sit?

[legal_eagle]

Go for it.

[She smiles up at him, cheerful and bright.]

Hi. You're Blaine, yeah?

[strategic_guile]

That I am.

[He held out a hand for a shake before he sits.]

Good to meet you in person, Sofiya.

[legal_eagle]

Please. Sonya.

[She leans forward.]

You are handsome.

[strategic_guile]

[He corrects himself.] Sonya.

[Smiles so pleasantly as he leans forward a bit.]

And you're beautiful, but we both know it.

How long've you been here?

[legal_eagle]

About, what, a month now. What a lovely city you have.

[strategic_guile]

Isn't it? Just wait until we have another festival with fireworks. Those are fun.

[He pointed towards the counter.] Did you want something to eat? Drink?

[legal_eagle]

I could do with a coffee.

[strategic_guile]

Coffee it is. It's the best around.

[Not to say it is excellent, but it doesn't make you weep because it's only pretending to be coffee. He comes back with two cups and a few packets of sugar and creamer. You drop them in and they dissolve, amazing~!]

Here you go. [He sets hers down in front of her and sits. He actually has tea.]

So, what did you do back home?

[legal_eagle]

Lawyer.

[She leaves the creamer but picks up the sugar, pouring it in with elegant fingers.]

You?

[strategic_guile]

Ohhh, that hurts me a little in my soul. I may have to rescind my invitation now. Lawyers.

[He looks at her apologetically.]

As a Pharm Rep I have a love, hate relationship with you guys. Legalease is both my boon and my curse.

[legal_eagle]

A pharm rep. What do you do, exactly?

[strategic_guile]

In a nutshell? I sell drugs to doctors for them to prescribe to their patients.

[legal_eagle]

Sounds a little sketchy.

[strategic_guile]

[Affronted gasp!]

Why would you say that?
