(frozen comment) Weiss's Speech (Monologue to Everyone @ 7:10pm)

[whiteas]

[ Weiss comes center-stage to the podium posted near the front and center of the planetarium. Unlike her normal outfits of whites and light blues with the occasional accents of darker colors, Weiss chose a darker dress to fit the theme of the evening- stars in the planetarium and the rise of Schnee Company as one of the world of Genessia's star businesses. It wasn't blindingly obvious a theme dress and the blue still brought out her eyes, but her hair and skin looked stark in contrast to the dark blue of the dress, but not unnatural.

Weiss took a deep breath and put a smile on her face as she began to speak. ]

Hello everyone. I'm Weiss Schnee, CEO and founder of Schnee Company in Genessia and now, I'm proud to announce, in Nova City. Everyone in our company has worked tremendously to make sure that Schnee Company is and continues to be a success, regardless of what hardships we have faced, are facing, and may face. We exist to help people coming into Genessia and create jobs and services for what people need. With the addition of the Nova City branch, we are now able to assist those coming into Nova City or Genessia as a whole by acting as a center where anyone can learn to adapt to each archway and its technology levels in this world, regardless of their background or what world they come from.

Which is the second thing I want to talk about: We all come from different worlds. No one seems to know how we got here. As you may have heard, Schnee Company is forming the Genessia Scientific Research Foundation. The non-profit foundation will be operating separate from Schnee Company, and any donations made to it will be entirely devoted to the GSRF's budget, not advertising or events like this. We will make donations to it, of course, as anyone in this world is welcome to. The purpose of the GSRF is to find out exactly how we got here, how to get home, and how to stay here. It's an incredibly important project, but Schnee Company can't support it on its own yet. It is a non-profit organization and will be focusing entirely on finding answers to the aforementioned problem. If you'd be interested in donating or offering your services if you have a scientific background or other skills that may assist in finding the answers everyone here seeks, there will be a GSRF panel area open at 11pm. Until the foundation is officially set up, if you aren't able to stay until 11pm, Schnee Company will handle donations.

Thank you all for coming, and I hope you've enjoyed your night so far- but it is about to get far more interesting. I'm sure you've noticed the people setting up behind me, and that's because we've set up live musical performances by Muse and Minako Aino for you tonight. Thank you!

[ And with that, Weiss exits stage left and the next part of the night begins! ]
