Organization Proposal: A Visitor-Native Relations Improvement Group

[ghost_shield]

Or "Badge gets amazing ideas in the shower sometimes."

So I was thinking about the recent angry mob NPC post, and it suddenly occurs to me that what might be interesting to roleplay is a group interested in working primarily on improving relations between the visitors and the natives of the city. Most of this would be working on PR, public works (charity, etc.) and generally trying to improve the communication between the players and the NPCs to provide a sort of middle ground alternative between the celebrity status the government and the media showers the players with and the hated enemy status the Anoli focuses on.

Would anybody be interested in joining something like that?

I would, but I'm pretty sure none of my characters would be any good at PR.

[ghost_shield]

How good would they be at grunt work?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Pit would be enthusiastic about it and Link would probably fall asleep on the job.

[ghost_shield]

Well, there'd probably be opportunities like helping out people at soup kitchens, or helping people with their own businesses and the like.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I can guarantee Pit, at least, since taking care of humans is his job. Link'd probably be too busy with the Knight Academy but he might lend some space for meetings or such if need be.

[justanothermachine]

Man, he was built to be helpful to humanity, so this would be right up Rock's alley.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

oh man can he and Pit be like enthusiastic humanity helper bros/coworkers on this I would die

[emperor_penguin]

If things really go south for the natives, I've got an ex mafia boss penguin here who has extensive experience being a slum lord and taking care of people with no place left to turn.

I KNOW IT'S TERRIBLE I'M SORRY

[ghost_shield]

just don't enthuse so much the goodwill goes out the other direction

[ghost_shield]

Leeeeet's hope it doesn't go that far.

And Nano would potentially actually be interested in this, though her schedule is going to be hella busy once school starts up between that, checking in at Ichiban, working her job at the cosplay cafe, and still fighting demons at night.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

you mean the people they're trying to goodwill go "AAAH HOW CUTE!" and try to goodwill the workers by pinching their cheeks

[justanothermachine]

No, just don't be so enthusiastic that it puts off the people they're trying to help. xD;

(Or possibly do because that could turn out interesting.)

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

i like my interpretation better it's perfectly naive

(but yes, yes it would)

[ghost_shield]

No pressure.

[pastalishe]

I'm still on hiatus, but I figured I'd comment on this-- Cloche would actually be very interested in this. She's a big political figure in her home world, so PR is right up her ally.

[echo_of_a_jedi]

When the Exile gets back, she'll be up for this.

Rise might get in on the PR side, too, if approached about it.

[maybe_a_king]

Arturia would definitely be willing to help out in any way she can when she gets back.

[ghost_shield]

Eeeexcellent. We can always use a few good diplomats and promoters.

[ghost_shield]

Awesome! Looking forward to that.

[ghost_shield]

Ha ha, so many people leaping right back into things after HORRIBLE TRAUMA

[charmedbymemories]

Both of my girls would be interested, but I think Lizzie will be more available than Naminé-- not to mention a friendlier face in general. Count her in!

[maybe_a_king]

Well, it hasn't been too traumatizing for Arturia. If anything she got some positive character development and a goal out of it and I've yet to see anything horrible on the books just yet.

[photonicfighter]

When Dakki gets back from being away, she'd be very much down with an organization like that. PR may not be her strongest suit, but she'd be happy to volunteer for nearly any kind of labour. :D

[acapriciousthing]

The reaper is clearly a PR expert!
