Reasonable People Can Disagree.... Angrily.
He'd rounded up the gang. 2500 was ready and everything. Now just came the doing it by the book.

"Yes," he said when the call finally went through. "This is a fellow-citizen wondering if Mr. Summers had any space on his calendar today."

	And for a moment, he doesn't care about politics either. He returns the hug. "You too, 'Lotte." God he wished things were different. "Boyfriend, huh? Am I going to have to eat this guy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She laughed at that, "No..he's a nice guy. Really nice, he goes to cooking school...he always makes dinner, you're more then welcome to stick around, I never know what I'm eating but it's always fantastic...You probably know his parents, his name is Angelo Bennet..?"

"There are. Mutants still aren't always welcome, but headway is being made. In the meanwhile, we do have some basic image inducers and the like, which wouldn't pass anything too exacting, but would allow for a show. We'd be happy to loan you one. In any case, welcome to the Embassy. I hope you all had a decent trip." Andrew says, as he makes his way in, catching some of the last bits.

	And Gio doesn't hover. Honest, she doesn't; just walks in beside him like everything's okay. Polite nods to Gideon and his friends... with blinking at Erik. Since when did Erik get involved with nonsense like this? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's fine, I prefer not to hide what I am." He blinks upon seeing Gio. A friend, practically a sister. This is where things we get tough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Gideon gave an appreciative little nod at Erik's remark, then smiled thinly. "Thank you. We're very glad to be here. You all know Erik Mellencamp. This is Jenny Cook, and 2500." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can appreciate that, and look forward to the day when no one has to. Good to see you all again, and good to meet you, 2500. Would anyone care for a seat and refreshments? Angelo has a genuine talent for cooking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And that would be his cue.

Angelo appears, slightly behind and to the side, of Moreau, carrying a tray of glasses, pitchers of water and juice, and a polite portion of light fare.

"Andrew is too flattering. I'm simply acting appropriately to my station." He inclines his head. "Angelo Michel Bennet, at your service. Mister Moreau, Erik, Miss... Hundred, the Embassy is pleased to receive you all. A full meal won't be for a few hours yet, so may I offer you something light in the meanwhile?

For the duration of your stay, if there is any way I can attend to your comfort, please do not hesitate to let me know."

Yes, Angelo will be near these people almost constantly.

	"Sounds great, thanks." Gideon does give a slight look to Jenny, who twitches ever so slightly. But they all cordially sit down "There's... a lot we'd like to discuss." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	assaultnbattery 2012-03-11 01:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Of that I have no doubt, and I'm interested to hear all of it." Andrew agrees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rikki too, had been not hovering at the fringes. Because she was certain if she got too close, she'd try to knock that smug look off Gideon's face. Oh, Eric, she thought. What're you doing with these fools? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"One of the things that's really concerning us," Gideon begins, "Is the work you're doing here."

"Not because you're not doing a good job of it," Jenny interrupts pleasantly, "But because of issues as to whether the country is really ready to be dealing in international affairs when there's so much to concern ourselves with at home."

If Gideon's bothered at being interrupted, he doesn't let it show. ...Noticeably.

	Gio braces herself slightly. "You may have noticed that we've been quite willing to come home when there's an emergency." "Yes, but that's not what I mean," Jenny said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_genosha 2012-03-12 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	Erik puts a comforting hand on jenny's shoulder. "Jenny just means that Genosha's still going through, hell I guess you can call them 'growing pains'." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Andrew nods. "An entirely valid point. But history tells us that there will always be sufficient reason, sufficient other things going on that can be used as reason a nation is unready for something. In this nation, for example, the dealings in the Asian theater made the 1960's a less than ideal time for the Civil Rights movement here to have made as strong a stand as they did.

There will always be something. And this in no way dismisses any of the problems Genosha has. Those are serious, and should be engaged. But existing in the same world as the super powers and so much going on, I think we cannot afford not to deal with international affairs. The one state of affairs and its importance does not negate the necessity of the other."

	She didn't know if she had any place to talk..given she was the one person in the room who wasn't a mutant...but... "Whether the world is ready for it or not...or whther Genosha is ready for it or not...It's happening. I don't see how it'd be possible to stop it, unless you want to completely cut Genosha off from the world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I get that, I do. There's truth to it, but why.." Erik's hands gripped the table. "why with the bastards that killed..!" Erik's eyes seem to water a moment before he shakes his head, his voice more restrained. "..I'm sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A sympathetic glance in Erik's direction, and then he looks to Andrew.

"The thing is, there's obviously no real harm in making friends in Scandinavia. Which seems to be ...mostly what you've managed over the past two years. But surely that could be done without currying pointlessly to the same superpowers that rejected refugees fleeing from the magistrates and, um... other violations of the country." Gideon apparently means that last part to sound sensitive to Erik's feelings.

	"What is it you want us to do, exactly? Because I think I can say that while we're always open to suggestions and help and input...but need to know exactly what it is you want before we can work towards finding a way that everyone reaches a compromise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No, no. Erik, please don't apologize. Its a very legitimate question. I think Ghandi said it best - 'an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.' By engaging everyone, the whole world, being open to talking, it puts those hostile to us in the position of having to justify their behavior. It weakens their position, and gives relatively minor friends, like Northern Europe, more teeth to act and speak on our behalf.

Yes, the friends I've made us have relatively little power alone. However, they have influence with France, who is capable of tying up the UN security council. It also provides us with friends with significant social and scientific resources that they're willing to trade, and like to be frontrunners on human rights issues - giving them a certain moral high ground when they speak on our behalf. It may not look like turning the US or something, but I still feel the inroads we've made strengthen Genosha's future.

Believe me, I am not blind to the fact we have enemies. But if we approach them with open hostility, we look very much the boogeyman they want the world to believe we are. If we can strengthen ourselves and our allies - slowly and carefully - with diplomacy and patience, we give ourselves more resources to work with to solve internal problems, without having to waste resources tilting at Russian windmills."
