[ He's been here for a few days, however, this will be the first time he's making a public announcement. The screen will depict his body language, his speech and movement undulate with a calm presence and his dark eyes move to and from the video with his words. He is wearing a black suit, sharp tie, and pristine white collared shirt beneath his jacket. ]
The democracy of this society appears to favor the diversity of its inhabitants. However, I wonder if I am still naive in the newness of my arrival to truly appreciate the complications of the convergence. With this thought, I reach out to those who may find interest in answering a question:
To whom does this governing system work for? Furthermore, if not you, then what is it you seek?

[ The video cuts from there, however, it fizzes to life once again and a separate message is sent only to the following parties: Reno and Elena. ]
Report to me your findings.

Er...to which governing system do you refer? And what's your name?
Ah, mine's Ted.

I hear each city have their own Guardians and deputies. Is that correct?
Re: Video
[Mandatory cheeriness out of the way...]
Ah, that one. Yes, that's correct. In that case I'd say it works for both the real and unreal alike.

Re: Video
[So helpful.]

Thank you for your help.

But I think that the goal is to make sure the native population and pendent bearers feel safe together?

One more thing, are you from here or are you a transient guest as I?

[Look, he probably shouldn't be hoping for a complete set but it's a question worth asking all the same. That, and if Rufus showed up then Reno would appreciate the warning.]
Far as this place goes, though, seems like most people're happy to just settle in and play house. Schnee Corporation looks like an interesting lead, though. Somethin' about their presence and that woman bein' the welcoming committee seems a little familiar, you know?
[Kinda like Shinra in its heyday.]
Re: private
The adaptation of people derives from their strength of resilience. What is the last thing you recall?
[ He understands that time doesn't work the same for all that arrive here. ]

[And really, if they had to be snatched away to another place then this is better than it could be. At least they got money and a roof here.]
We were just about done with the sorry tale of Sephiroth and the three assholes. Boss got cured, we were about to head out and then suddenly here I am.
private
Right. Are you still stationed at the Genessia Commonspace?
private
And now you're here.
[And Tseng has always been much better at this sort of thing than Reno.]
private
Stay sharp, watch yourself, as always. That should suffice. Have you heard from Elena?
private
[Dismissive as his words are, his tone makes clear that he has been doing his best to keep an eye on her, in any way that means he doesn't get an earful about how she can look after herself thank you very much.]
private
How are you holding up?
private
[Not to say he'd be sorry for the big guy to show up. If not for his own sake then for Genessia's.]
private
I'll be looking into the leaders here. I want you to look into underground groups.
private
[Tseng can at least pretend at politics. It's for the better that Reno searches where he can get away with cracking a skull or two if he has to.]
Ironic though, huh? Having to play this one from the other side.
[Private voice]
I'm sure you already got in touch with Reno and I can't say I've learned much more than he probably is. This city just... doesn't feel right to me. It seems calm enough but there's no way that's the case when people are getting dragged here from all sorts of places to just seemingly play house.
There's been a few people to keep an eye out on as they seem more... hostile than the others, but nothing as far as an overarching group or plan goes.
[Private voice]
Are you still at the Commonspace?
[Private voice]
Though, from what I've heard, the whole rent free thing doesn't last that long.
