I’ve traveled all this way for something

WHO: YOU.
WHERE: Eden East's cruiseship
WHEN: Saturday February 15th, around 5 PM EST
WHAT: Registration in motion... among other things.
WARNINGS: None anticipated; let us know if this should be edited.


" The new frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises -- it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them. It appeals to their pride, not to their pocketbook -- it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security. But I tell you the new frontier is here, whether we seek it or not. "
( from jfk's speech "the new frontier," 7/15/1960. )


The sun hasn't set yet and the temperature hovers somewhere just below 70 degrees this evening; imPorts, both recently arrived and not, will have been escorted to this event so that they can meet each other, have a good time, and of course officially state their registration status. Or lack thereof. It's your decision, they emphasize, even though the unspoken "but" is always there.

It's an elaborate spread, certainly much more elegant than last time. Eden East herself, elegant in her backless champagne-colored dress, meets and greets each and every imPort as she flutters to and fro. She'll find you and chat for a few moments, shaking your hand and complimenting your dress. She'll know your name, and she'll have an entourage of aids and cameras following her wake. Captain Holiday, in contrast, maintains the energy of someone who feels out of place holding the Swear-In ceremony somewhere so extravagant. As imPorts arrive he tells them where to be for the ceremony part of the evening, but that they are free to enjoy themselves until then and after.

( Please state your character's official status -- REGISTERED or UNSETTLED -- in the subject header of your thread. Characters who are UNDECIDED may be contacted later in the week for their decision via their IC contact post. )

A good friend of mine told me this, he's a big history buff. Well, he plays a big part in it so he would be.

[ Hank rambles for a bit before he caught up. ]

Hm? Oh, yes. They do. Ironic part of that story, the Russians cancelled that program because the poor things would get scared by the gunfire and run back to the owners. But like I said, you don't have to worry about that here.

And blew their caretakers up right along with them...

[ If there was ever going to be something to kill his appetite this evening, that would be it. Hank gets the gold star and Ace is left looking down at his paws forlornly, ears pinned back. ]

It's good they don't do that here, because then I'd have to do something about that if they did. What a terrible thing to do to a dog.

[ Since, he assumes, Russia is far away, although knowing the program for that there is cancelled is at least some relief. ]

[ Good job, Hank. Only you can make a dog sad. Not quite knowing what to do, Hank took a knee and stroked the fur on top of Ace's head. ]

I'm sorry for bringing that up, Ace. Humans—humans tend to forget about ethics and morals when they deem something has a greater purpose. We're not going to forget that here, I promise.
