The Ultimatum

[bravenewmods]

In the aftermath of the Day of Fire, the morale of the people of Union had slowly begun to recover from the difficult battle they had previously fought and the decision that they had made. Their reprieve is brief, however. Barely a week following the report to the Council, the news returned: Sanctuary, after extensive discussion, had refused to give up their Homunculus program merely because Union demanded it.

The issue now, of course, was how to proceed with this new information. Should the people of Union shun Sanctuary altogether? Should they establish minimal contact with sanctions? Should they attempt to negotiate, requesting that Sanctuary stop the worst of the abuses in exchange for diplomatic favors? Should they simply turn a blind eye to the Homunculus program and hope it works out?

The next decision would likely be the final one.

[As there are many directions this can go now, we have three options here: Normalize Relations, Open Partial Relations with Imposed Sanctions, or Abandon Relations. Please vote under the one you support. If you vote under 'open partial relations with imposed sanctions', you must also voice your opinion on each of the following potential sanctions: restrictions on the Homunculus program that would make it acceptable, refusing to trade or contribute to the economic welfare of Sanctuary, refusing to allow immigration from Sanctuary, refusing to open communication with Sanctuary in regards to the Warp Band network, and refusing to share information concerning legendary activities and discoveries with Sanctuary.

Each player may only vote once. As people with five or six characters in game could potentially unfairly unbalance the vote, the final vote is how you, as a player, would like to see the game change. You are of course free to vote in a manner reflective of how the majority of your characters would feel.

As before, there will be a section for IC discussion and OoC questions.]

[On Fuuka's end, there appears to be some mumbling as her Espurr only gave her a sigh.] Um...are you sure this is a good idea? I never done anything quite like this before, it doesn't seem right to just ask. [Of course, as it was Fuuka's turn to sigh, her pokemon only just gave her a glare]

Well, I suppose it's too late now. [And as she gave another mumble once more, her voice quickly turned cheerful despite how nervous she sounds] Um, h-hello, my name is Fuuka Yamagishi and it's really nice to meet you all! I apologize if I'm being rude but would anyone tell me which places are the best to train pokemon?

I'm afraid I'm new at this?

[And maybe it'll be a good distraction too]

2nd Summoning

[There are serious conversations about serious topics that are happening right now. This is not one of them.

This is a normal Teddiursa and a shiny Teddiursa moonwalking back and forth in the shopping district. They aren't just moonwalking - there's other dancing interspersed in there - but they come back to the moonwalking frequently so it's the part most likely to be seen. There's no musical accompaniment to the dancing, but the two of them are in synch with each other and aren't half bad considering they're bears. Other people apparently approve, since the bowl in front of their performance spot is gradually filling up with coins.

There's also a Totodile present, headbanging, using Dragon Dance, and generally rocking out completely off-rhythm from the bear brothers. It's getting much less attention from passerby than the Teddiursa are, mainly because it's not dancing over as wide of an area as the other two and is thus easier to miss.

Domri himself is watching from the back of his Rhyhorn so he can see over people, shirtless because who cares about Unionite prudishness it's hot out. His mohawk is still multicolored after the Day of Fire because he hasn't bothered to put in the effort to get all the color out.]
