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. )

[ Joining Anna's side is a tall woman in uniform, one that the young princess will recognize from her brief venture on base and through the labs when she had been brought to Cape Canaveral. Her smile is wide, with big pearly teeth and a friendly demeanor as she approaches Anna. ]

You're looking a little blue, ma'am. Seasick?

Homesick.

[She paused half a beat, chocolate treat freezing in midair.]

That's a thing, right? Missing home? I've never- I mean, I read about it and everything- but I've never actually...been away. From home. Before now. And I still really need to be back.

[She gave a half apologetic smile with that last bit. She knew, she knew, it wasn't this nice woman's fault. But it was still true. She really couldn't be here.]

It's completely normal.

[ Sympathetically: ] I understand. I'm sorry we haven't entirely figured out how the Porter technology works.
cardea: (unsure)

no worries

Oh, no. There are strange powers in every place.

[So it was looking like, anyway. She couldn't in good faith blame these people and not Elsa for back home, so it wasn't even a choice. The people were innocent.]

You can fix it someday. Just hopefully not too far away a someday.

I hope so, too. In the meantime, I'm here to make you as comfortable as possible. [ She extends her hand and smiles. ] Lt. Aisha Ananke, ma'am.

Anna of Arendelle.

[She had her hands on her dress, ready to give a curtsy, when she fully noticed the hand. The apologetic smile returned and Anna offered her hand back- lady like, it should be noted, as if waiting for the Lieutenant to kiss it. ]

Like...you already know. That's something new, too. The whole being out with the people thing.

Oh, yes, I've read your file. Would you prefer Princess Anna?

[ Where are her manners? She doesn't kiss Anna's hand, but she does offer the politest shake she can muster and her own bow, hand across her breast as she does so. ]
