Hello, my name is Jacob Kane. [ It looks like Cain is in a kedanese shop somewhere. He waves for the camera, makes sure not to jostle the cup he has by his elbow. ] What I'm going to say is specifically meant for the foreigner population of Keeliai, but in the interest of transparency I'm bringing this up on the public network. There's no point in the suggestion at all if we do anything in secret. That said...

We need some sort of system. No, I'm not talking about government or laws or enforcement thereof, but any type of accountability we can agree to. With the current state of things, it's just not feasible for us to keep acting as individuals — whether or not we have anything aside from our status as non-natives in common, we are a group all on our own and I honestly believe we'd all benefit from having something put into place that would keep us from imploding and possibly taking innocents with us in the crossfire.

Now, at this point, all I really ask is that we discuss it. Ideas, suggestions, thoughts and feelings on the matter. Just to collate how we feel as a whole before maybe organizing a meeting in person to go over finer details. Even if you haven't been here long, or don't believe in the idea of a system, I would like to hear why so we can try to address any issues.

If nothing else, we'll all learn something from the exercise, right?

[The user of this particular handset comes up as anonymous, which strongly implies that the handset is stolen. The voice of said anonymous user is fairly high-pitched and nasal, and the accent is a very posh Queen's English. Almost poncy.

No, strike that. Incredibly, flagrantly, flamboyantly poncy.]

Now then. I gather that I'm on the back of a giant turtle.

Very well, I can bear this if I must.

More to the point--and this is the important bit, mind--I'm on the back of a giant, sinking turtle, and no one can adequately explain to me how they plan to stop said giant turtle from sinking. Moreover, said giant turtle has been all but invaded by some foreign power with ill-mannered, inconsiderate representatives with a painful lack of fashion sense.

Really, Madame Justicar, I've seen better full dress on the streetwalkers in London.

So now, my darlings, can anyone tell me what's to be done about this? Any of it? Are there plans? Schemes? Vague whispers? Tell me everything.



((ooc: Hello, hi, yes, this is Erskine. His voice, however, is all but unrecognizable. Anton and Skul will get this right away, but if you really feel strongly about your character breaking through the disguise, please poke me first? There'll be much easier chances to out him later, I guarantee ♥))
