Breaking Ground
The private jet wheeled to a stop near a hangar in a corner of the airport near Hammer Bay, Genosha. The plane was an hour late in arriving, but there had been a delay getting out of Paris (and it wasn't because of shopping as one would think). The door to the jet opened and the steps were lowered as the driver of a waiting car exited the vehicle and opened the trunk to receive luggage.

Anya stepped into the doorway of the plane and blinked against the bright sunlight. She had managed to catch a little sleep on the flight to Genosha. It had been a week filled with meetings all over the globe and she had been running on caffeine and little sleep. Thankfully this was the last stop before heading home to Boston.

She took a deep breath and started down the stairs.

	"It certainly helps to already be set to inherit a multi-billion dollar company," Anya said. Not that she was bragging, it was just a fact of life for her. That was a fact that she grew up knowing and it didn't stop her from wanting to do things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Helps in some ways. Lots of expectations and responsibilities in others." he replies pleasantly. Few people understand the ups and downs of inheritance like Andrew. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya nodded in agreement. "Yes. The first expectation people have is for me to be a Stark and do things what that entails. Second expectation is of a spoiled rich heiress." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A preoccupied little sound from Gio, still staring out the window. "Whether you want it or not, I hope you make lots of money. Other won't try to do sensible things until they're shown to be successful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Financial success here will also convince others that these types of risks are worthwhile investments." Nope, no attempts to disagree with Gio's pessimism here - just taking a slightly more optimistic viewpoint of the same comment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Very nice to hear. Now, when we get out, Miss Stark, I would like you and Andrew to both stay to my left, please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Andrew is clearly used to this, having already moved to take his place. "I can appreciate people with devotions like your friend. We've been very lucky here to have some of the people who can more directly handle a lot of the environmental concerns in an organized fashion. Still a lot of work to do, but despite the disasters Genosha has seen, the nation has been able to recover a lot of the natural state of the island very quickly."

	Anya nodded. She was the guest here and would follow her hosts' instructions. "That's great to hear. I would love to see as much of the island as I can while I'm here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Gio's very careful as the vehicle stops and they get out, staying at the edge closer to most people and keeping an eye out, especially for any hardcore nativist types. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	assaultnbattery 2012-06-01 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Andrew trusts to Gio's instincts, focusing on diplomacy instead. "We'll arrange as much of a tour as we're able to as soon as we're done with this, certainly. A lot of the island should be pretty accessible in one way or another, with an escort." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That'll be great," she said and stayed to Miss Bennet's left. She kept her briefcase close. It wasn't exactly hostile territory, but it never hurt to be prepared. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Excellent. Then let's get on with this groundbreaking and then onto the tour." (Reply to this)(Parent)
