Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (Genoshans, Nell)
When everything was done at the volunteer site, there was cleaning up and meeting at that great little restaurant with the nice private rooms. The whole gang: Andrew, Giovanna, Angelo, Sengai, Rikki...and that Nell girl Gio had met. The St. Croix girl. The American (and therefore baseline) St. Croix girl. Gio was still processing this. Good thing for the restaurant's record keeping away eavesdroppers, in case someone ended up saying something untoward.

	Gio has to meet Andrew's eyes and smile as Nell once again reveals the fact that she curses, well, like a Genoshan. "If you could send it digitally, that would be great. We can always print out a hard copy if we need." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"As she says. Coordinate with Giovanna, please, and she'll make sure I get everything needed. I need someone with a background in social work to help coordinate the consulate's approach to Mutant Town and other projects. Even better if that someone helps demonstrate coordination between mutants and baseline humans." he answers, sticking with his belief that mutants are human, so further clarification is needed.

Sengai raised an eyebrow at the girl's choice of curse, though not for the reason the others might have. To him Magneto was a powerful mutant and a credible leader, as his father related to him. However, the man was not some deific being and it made Sengai uncomfortable to hear the man's used as if he were. However, Sengai felt it wise not to bring such a subject up in a public setting for he suspected a reaction to such an opinion would be..significant. He turns to Nell.

"You must know that you'd face a great deal of resentment from both your baseline fellows as well as those you would seek to help. I've seen it firsthand back home between the Tamil and Sinhalese."

	"I don't really engage much with flat...baseline humans outside of my family. And they all associate with mutants. My mother...is very good friends with mutants. It's how I came to spend time in Genosha as a child. I'm more at home there than anywhere. I'm not worried about resentment. I'm worried about what is right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Angelo nods. "Doing what is right should always be the foremost concern. Arguing over who has or doesn't have the right to help The Cause is just silly and infantile. Like little children arguing over who Mother loves best." Says the sixteen year old. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

For a moment, the chair creaked under the sudden increase in weight and density that Rikki was undergoing. The girl's invoking Magneto's name didn't sit right with her at all. Flatscan slips weren't worthy enough to have the name pass theirs.

She took a breath, forced herself to calm down and regain normal density.

"I'm... sure it will be good for the people we're helping," she said, admittion tasting foul in her mouth.

	Gio shoots Rikki a grateful look. She knows it's hard, and she knows Rikki's trying out of a sense of duty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sadly the world is full of the silly and infantile no matter where one goes." Sengai allows himself a slight smile. "Though it is nice to have one's cynicism proven wrong once in awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_got_nothin 2011-06-10 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	"People are assholes," she said straight out. "And hatred is wrong regardless of what side it's coming from. I'm just trying to be one less asshole." She picked up her beverage and took a drink. This whole thing was a little awkward, but she was pretty excited about the opportunities. And the Sengai guy was pretty cute. Bonus. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rikki gave Gio a quick, small smile in acknowledgment. Damn if the flatscan wasn't making sense on some level. She wondered when the other shoe would drop and her real intentions would come out. "World's hard," she offers. "Gotta be hard back sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	burnwithlight 2011-06-11 01:25 am UTC (link)
	Gio nods, then looks at Nell again, specifically at her bracelet. She knows she's seen those designs in some file somewhere. Maybe some security things she reviewed with Father? She's going to have to talk to Andrew later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Andrew isn't necessarily buying every word, but always figured there had to be some baseline humans out in the middle of the political aisle, the way he was. He'll investigate closely to double check everything... but right now this is looking like a boon.

"Well, currently I'm working with the U.N. on trying to gain a degree of legitimacy for Genosha. We've made some headway, but I don't have time to pursue my efforts from all the angles I'd like to. Mutant Town happens to currently be one of the focal points we're working on, but not the only one."

	Angelo seemed somewhat somber. He hadn't been able to contribute to that unfortunate incident as much as he'd wanted. "There were some very intense complications in District X not too long ago. Andrew did a lot to make sure the situation didn't go unnoticed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I was there, Rikki. We are soldiers and I recognize your desire to fight the enemy. However it was frustrating to be there. Hear what they said, see what they did, and NOT be able to make them pay for it..." The last word comes out as a slight hiss. His eyes burned a bit in response to his anger, almost shining through his shades. He rubbed his temple. "I'm sorry, I need to go outside for a moment. Please enjoy your meal."

Sengai moves to get up.

	Gio looks to Andrew for confirmation that it's okay to go with him. "Just get me a fruit salad?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	assaultnbattery 2011-06-12 01:36 am UTC (link)
	Andrew nods to Giovanna. "I'll do that, thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anger_issues 2011-06-12 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Rikki watched Sengai go and then shrugged slightly. Her estimation of him had gone up a small fraction, but all the same, it wasn't that great. Yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)
