[So here is Vesper, shuffling paperwork and trying to keep herself busy and distracted from the fact that a certain someone whose name will not be mentioned but should know who they are is going to very well off himself to England all for the sake of 'cleaning his office' but of course she knows better yet she isn't about to argue and ---]

So, please enlighten a relative newcomer to The City.

[She primly aligns a stack of paper and then looks directly at the camera.]

How many of you plan on 'investigating' this update?

[So she can judge all of you relentlessly with a stoic lineface.]

If you do plan on going, I do wish you all the best of luck.

[That right there is the classic Vesper smarm and charm and manifests itself when she's annoyed.]

I'll confess that I had considered it. Although seeing as I rarely left the City prior to recent events to do so now would really be nothing more than an act of rebellion for its own sake. I take it you're against such attempts, Miss Lynd?

I'm very much against people acting out just for the sake of rebellion, as you put it so well.

Re: [permavideo]

[sorcerersupreme]

I'm afraid that you may find most people here quite in favor of it. I think the pleasure of defiance for its own sake has become lost on me in my old age. It is, I believe, the sport of the youthful and argumentative.

Are you worried for someone in particular?

[permavideo]

[ex_loveknot297]

Youth may have little to do with it for some men.

[She's debating if she wants to answer or deflect the question.]

I'm worried about anyone actually attempting. It seems like a poor idea to get involved with such forces.

[permavideo]

[sorcerersupreme]

We are, undoubtedly, the more pig-headed of the species.

And I'm sure some would confuse their involvement with such things for gallantry.

I hope you don't have any intention to travel.

[ex_loveknot297]

I hardly have that intention and I would hope others would too.

I'm rather happy with staying away from England from now on, it hardly seems worth the risk.

[ex_loveknot297]

Good. I was beginning to think you were going to take a leave of absence, for queen and for country of course.

[doubleoohbaby]

I don't have M sending me off these days.

[hacktivist]

I feel it unwise for anyone to announce that intent.

[ex_loveknot297]

Would it matter? If those countries were just recently banned, the police will still be on high alert, announcement or not.

Lady with those well wishes, I'm kinda looking forward to getting caught.

(voice.)

[ex_loveknot297]

Are you now?

(voice.)

[carbonite]

You're not being very encouraging, y'know.

(voice.)

[ex_loveknot297]

Why would I want to encourage anyone who walks straight into a disaster?

(voice.)

[carbonite]

And you're sure you're friends with James.

And cause an international incident? Most of us wouldn't dare.

permavoice;

[ex_loveknot297]

Oh, it would be a minor thing, I'm sure of it.

[mocks]

I dunno about that, hun. Were you here during the invasion back in February?

[ex_loveknot297]

No, I only arrived some weeks ago. What happened?

[cuckoos]

Oh, we're sure there'll be a few.

[ex_loveknot297]

I would be more surprised if there were none who decided to go.

[cuckoos]

Hardly. There's always going to be at least one idiot.

[ex_loveknot297]

One is too low a number if any of these responses really mean anything.
