[Irene turns on the video feed, and while she looks just as put together as ever, her office looks a bit messier than usual – you can see her desk in the background, covered with notes and unorganized papers…which is pretty normal for a desk, really, just not for Irene’s desk. Has she been distracted?

She seems to be in a very good mood, though! Her smile looks more genuine than her usual calm, customer service face.]

Everyone, I wanted to ask you a few questions. Now, we have a lot of holidays here in Saeng Seong. Several of you were here for our last festival, and we’re going to have another one coming up at the end of this month… [oh!] which I’m not sure we’ve notified you about yet, but we’ll have more details later.

Our city – our world - has a long history, but I’m also sure that your worlds do, too. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m curious – what are some of the important traditions from your worlds? What holidays do you celebrate?

[She was going to end the video there, but she stops, reconsidering.]

On another note, regarding the fall festival I mentioned earlier, we’re currently open to suggestions if you all have any. I’ll be keeping track of comments here myself, and I can pass on information to the committee.

.. "Suggestions"? [ He frowns a little. He still isn't sure about anything involving the people in charge of this place.. ]

Don't you have any specific way to celebrate your festival?

We do have specific regular events, but we also try to do new things every year. Besides, the festival is for the entire city. We want everyone interested involved in the planning process, including all of you.

[ Huh, so they're trying to involve them.. ]

Do our opinions really count that much?

[rekindlenpcs]

They do. Though sometimes we can't fulfill what everyone wants.

.. I have to say I'm surprised to hear that. I didn't think it worked that way here.

[rekindlenpcs]

I'm sorry we ever gave that impression. We try to do what we can to make every person we bring here welcome and comfortable, but I can see where we have gotten off on the wrong foot with many of you.

[ That does sound pretty self-conscious at least.. he's still a little unsure, but on the other hand, if they do realise that what they did was.. well, pretty wrong.. ]

Of course people you kidnap aren't going to trust you immediately. Isn't that common sense?
