STRANGE, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN WE STARTED THIS GIG?
WHO: All diplomatic imPorts that have signed up HERE.
WHERE: The capitals of Mexico, South Korea, and France. UN-attending imPorts will be placed in Davos, Switzerland.
WHEN: January 26th.
WHAT: Democracy in motion as imPorts attempt to use their skills of persuasion to convince each government or organization to lend the imPorts - and America - their help. Players may also use this log to play out the long flight over, planning, and other associated activities.
WARNINGS: None anticipated; let us know if we should change this!
Depending on their assignment, all imPort diplomats will find themselves either in Seoul, South Korea; Mexico City, Mexico; Paris, France; or for UN attending imPorts, Davos in the Swiss Alps. They will be housed in the American Embassies and regardless of their Registration status, will be treated as American citizens. UN-attending imPorts will be housed in a hotel close by. Their accommodations will be that of an extremely luxurious hotel, and they will be provided with anything that they should require, be it books on the art of rhetoric, access to state of the art computers and laptops, food or drink. They will also be provided with boardrooms in which the teams may convene to assemble a strategy. Don't be distracted by the free drinks; this is a task that will require clear minds!
After one night of preparation, on January 26th, each team of imPorts will meet with either the government of their assigned nation or the UN. They will be placed at a podium in front of a room full of politicians and diplomats, and will be expected to state their argument. They will be allowed to have an opening speech before each assembly asks each group three questions.
When either the opening speech has been concluded OR the question has been answered to each player's satisfaction, please put QUESTION NEEDED in the subject title of your comment, and we will deliver the next question.
Just remember: an invasion is coming! Even if acquiring the alliance of these governments and organizations do not help with the imPorts' immediate predicament, it will impact the future of the game at large!
Get ready, our silver-tongued imPorts, and good luck!

QUESTION NEEDED
"HELLO! PAPYRUS, THE SKELETON, HERE AGAIN.
EVERY DAY I GET UP AND I TRY TO TALK TO ONE NEW PERSON. YES, SOMETIMES THEY RUN AWAY YELLING ABOUT THE FACT I'M BONES! AND YES, SOMETIMES I CAN CAUSE QUITE A COMMOTION WHEN I GO OUT TO GET GROCERIES! BUT THAT HAS NEVER STOPPED ME FROM TRYING. AT HOME, I HAD JUST BEEN SELF APPOINTED AMBASSADOR TO THE HUMANS! I NEVER GOT TO DO MUCH AMBASSADORING, BUT MY PLAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO BE MYSELF AS I ALWAYS AM AND TO LET EVERYONE GET TO KNOW THE GENUINE ME. IT IS EASY TO DISLIKE SOMEONE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IN THE FLESH. OR NOT THE FLESH. AS MY CASE MAY BE. BUT IT IS HARDER TO FEAR SOMEONE WHEN THEY ARE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU GIVING YOU NOTHING BUT LOVE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WOULD WORK WITH THE WHOLE WORLD JUST YET. I KNOW KITTY IS ALWAYS MAKING GRAND PLANS AND WORKING EVERY DAY TO MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE EVERY DAY WE'RE HERE. BUT IT'S NOT JUST HER, IT'S HER AND ALL THE LOCAL PEOPLE. COMING TOGETHER AND DOING EVERYTHING FOR OUR NEW HOME. AND I CAME ALL THIS WAY TO TALK TO YOU! AND I'D DO IT AGAIN, OVER AND OVER, FOR EVERYONE ALL OVER THE WORLD.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE WHO THINK I AM A SCARY MONSTER. I KNOW THAT. BUT I THINK... MOST PEOPLE JUST NEED THE CHANCE TO KNOW US... AND TO KNOW THAT WE'RE A LOT LIKE THEM. IF I COULD TALK TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW THEY FEEL YET... FIRST, I WOULD INTRODUCE MYSELF, BECAUSE THAT'S POLITE. AND THEN I WOULD SAY THAT I WOULD LOVE THEM NO MATTER WHAT. EVEN IF THEY DO THINK WE'RE DANGEROUS AND WILL NEVER EVER CHANGE THEIR MIND, THAT WON'T CHANGE MINE."
FINAL QUESTION
We realize that you are human beings first and American citizens second, [the speaker begins, then pauses, bending her head.] Do forgive me. You are individuals first, as worthy of respect and safety as any other. But you are the faces of America nonetheless, and any who publicly support you will be seen as placing their allegiance with America as well.
What do you think of your host country? Once your fellows have been rightly returned to you, do you believe that they will have the capacity to protect you and their allies, that they are prepared to deal with what is coming next?
OOC: You may either respond to this last question and leave it at that, or have your characters come forward to state their conclusion. Either way, this is the last NPC tag you will receive in this thread! After the meeting has been concluded, the imPorts will be thanked for their time, and they will extend an invitation to stay within Switzerland's borders as long as they are legally permitted to.
