[The feed opens from the interior of Sephiroth's office at Violet Systems; he'd needed some time away from a house of sick friends to order his thoughts. The decor around him is largely white, with silvery accents of stainless steel and brushed aluminum, highlighted here and there with purple tones. It is a modern setting: sparse and state-of-the-art. All the white and his own natural paleness is contrasted greatly to the dark uniform of the SOLDIER that he is: he knows well how to make a statement; this is the General speaking more than the man.]

Good afternoon, Siren's Port. [A pause -- brief, but carefully calculated.] Or as good an afternoon as it can be, with a number of people still sick. At least there is more hope of a cure now, however...delayed it might be in getting to non-natives.

[But that is an argument that's been addressed several times over, across the Network and back again. And while it probably could be addressed again -- change is brought about only through persistence -- this is not such a time. There is something else he wishes to address in the current forum.]

And a celebration to attend, as I am sure everyone has seen by now. But I'm sure we've also all seen the hatred directed at Newcomers, especially recently with the outbreak of this disease. I'm sure we all have our own experiences with it.

[Another pause, a bit briefer than the first. There is no need to dwell upon what they have all experienced in some form or the other.]

What Mister Creed proposes is a celebration of life, and I would like for it to remain that way. I know I've made this request before, for the convention of Newcomer businesses. I am now asking again for a few good men and women to help me in the endeavor of keeping the peace for this event. All interested parties, please do not hesitate to contact me. The NPP is already hard at work with their planning, and the seventh is not long away.

[Another pause, and the barest of smiles.] Thank you, everyone, for your time.

[ooc: oh just forget that hiatus I'm supposed to be on. I'll try my best for timely replies, but please bear with my work schedule.]

If it's muscle you're looking for, I'm your girl.

You're too quick for me Buffy; I was just about to call everyone who helped out last time. I'll be glad to have you again.

Speedy and stabby. Also with pep. It's almost like you don't even need to do your shopping anywhere else!

If only I had a few more of you.

I was going to sign up at work, but this works. I'm in for Security.

[Even if she is, currently, wearing sweats and covered in a blanket and staying in bed.]

[Well, current state can of course be forgiven, considering the situation with a decent amount of the Port being so sick. Allowances must be made, after all! And if she's still sick for the party, he'll simply pull her from rotations, as he would with anyone who cannot make it at the last moment.]

I'm glad to hear. Your name, so I can make a note of it...?

[Oh, she'll be fine for the party. Just... a bit under the weather now.]

Sorry, I'm Jubilee. I work at Lion's Gate.

No apology needed; you may call me Sephiroth. You're already quite familiar with the standards Mister Creed holds for his events, then?

I am interested in helping to keep the peace.

I am glad to hear it. I do not believe we have met; I am General Sephiroth.

My name is Daemon. One of my powers is to calm people down, so it may be useful.

[Nelliel offers a small smile. Do you remember the criminals disguised as mall Santas incident, Sephiroth? She does.]

I can help.

[How could he possibly forget? That's why the smile Nelliel gets is just a touch warmer than the one he offers to most people.]

Glad I am to hear it. We haven't spoken in a while Nelliel; how are you?

Well enough. Trying to figure out what to do about the new owner of the company I model for.

Do you plan on paying the security staff?

There will be a stipend as the NPP can afford. But they are in a sore place with the cost of the flu vaccine right now; I cannot offer much.

A party sounds like fun. If I'm feeling better, I'll definitely be there, you can count on that. [Smiles.]

Are you going to let me put you on a detail this time? [There's a small laugh -- you look like hell Tim, but if you're well enough to smile, Sephiroth isn't too overly worried.

But still, he has to ask.] And do you need anything?

I think I might have to give you a rain check on that one. Next time, I swear I'll be the one keeping an eye on the security cameras.

[He is feeling well enough to smile. Still kind of shitty, but not too bad. Not anymore.] I think I'm good, for now. I've got Conner patrolling outside my bedroom door, so I don't try to sneak out. He told me I better stay in bed, or there'll be hell to pay.

Thank you for your help with this. I know it's a lot to ask for, but we do appreciate it.

Mister Creed, military logistics are my forte. And while this is a far cry from the battles I've seen, there are still some similarities in as far as the planning is concerned.

I do understand that. Back home, I was head of security for my city. It's a much different thing, here.

[She looks a little pale and worn out, but hey, at least she hasn't thrown up recently. She's gotten a bit better, and the cure should get her back into commission when she can get ahold of it.]

Presuming I'm back on my feet by then, I'd be glad to help out.

And I'm glad to hear it. [And truly, she doesn't look as bad as some of the victims he's seen.] Don't push it too hard though, I can always put you on in the later days.

[That's probably because she's pretty open about all she's done in the past and how she wants to do the right thing to make up for it all. But there's always something unexpressed, because that's how she rolls.]

[A wry smile.] I'm a bit sturdier than I look. [One of the perks of being genetically engineered; you know how that goes.] I should recover quickly once I'm able to get my hands on the medication.
