Nineteenth Manifesto [Voice]

[proudambassador]

There is quite a lot of stress here, no? We have many new people since I have offered, so I am thinking that I should be making the offer again.

I am an Ambassador. My work, it is to negotiate. If people do not see eye-to-eye, there is most certainly a solution that makes both equally miserable, hm? I jest. But solutions, they can be found. I offer my help. You need only come by the my little casino during the day, or my little house when it is evening, and I will do what I can. This boredom, I do not enjoy it so much. I would welcome a change.

Just do not come too late, hm? I do enjoy sleep. It is a pleasant escape from the bunnies and other creatures that wish to eat me.

That, my dear girl, is a very tricky question. I would be safer, and safer is a form of happiness, hm? But, I would still be bored.

Busy? Busy is not always a bad thing. If you are not too busy, you may drop by, yes? Or perhaps I will close the casino one day and come by the bar. It would be a pleasant thing.

[shadedsunlight]

Ah, boredom, how it ruins many things.

I'll try and drop by sometime, I always believe in making time for friends. How is the casino, by the way?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

It does. There are only so many games I can win against myself before even a nap looks like excellent entertainment.

I would be glad of it. It is. I have, with the help of Killua, cleaned the sand from it, and I am looking for something new. Perhaps more will come to play if I can find more variety, yes?

[shadedsunlight]

I've always found a good book passes the time quite nicely.

Something new... I'm afraid I don't have anything to offer, but if I find something that could be used in a casino, I'll let you know.

I cannot read Earther so well, any of its forms. The one, I can read simple books of. English, yes? Go Dog Go, a very amusing little tale. I do not like any of his hats, hm?

Our peoples, they use Standard. The Centauri, Earthers, Minbari, even the Narns. So with little exposure to it and little reason to seek it out, I have not learned much Earther. Centauri, of course, I read and speak fluently, and Standard. But I have found no books in either. I did find a Drazi book. But that, I gave to good Mr. Jojo, hm? And he is now gone.

I thank you, my dear girl. You are not like many Earthers. I find I like you as I have liked few. Mr. Garibaldi, Commander Ivanova... you see? The list is very short.

[shadedsunlight]

I have seen some books in languages I don't recognize so perhaps it may be one of the languages you know. I'll see what the library has.

Oh. Well. I'm honored. Thank you.

...By the way, your skills as an ambassador may be needed. Aya is annoyed by some of your words.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

That would be quite nice, hm?

...I have never spoken to her, but she wishes to find offense. I am not sure that such a thing could be addressed with ease. Those who wish to find conflict will, no? Further, she could have said something to me, hm? Instead, she chose such a thing to declare. She would be one in search of conflict.

[shadedsunlight]

Yes, those who wish for conflict will seek it out. I do find it odd she did not contact you directly about it but so it goes.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I... do not understand it. I have harmed no one, and do not have all that many friends. But now, some who have not spoken to me are gathering against me.

It is a lonely thing, this place. And some times, it is more lonely.

[shadedsunlight]

I am sorry, Londo. But if it is any comfort, I have never taken offense by your words and I do believe this is all a misunderstanding.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Thank you. The words, they mean much to me, my good Ginia.

[shadedsunlight]

You're welcome. Things will be okay.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

That is what they all say. But I am not yet dead and gone, and you are not yet dead and gone, and even somewhere out there, G'Kar is not yet dead and gone, hm? So perhaps, yes, they will be.

[shadedsunlight]

And so we all live and so life goes on. Life is full of all sorts of little bumps and curves, but I suppose it makes for an interesting ride.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I could use a ride that is a little less interesting at times, no?

[shadedsunlight]

I think we all could at times.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, with work, this place could become so, hm?

[shadedsunlight]

Yes, I do believe so.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Then we shall work on it, yes?

[shadedsunlight]

Yes, let's do so.
