[So it may look like Cassian has finally felt some form of retribution for running his mouth like a machine gun. The priest on camera has a massive bruise on his jaw, and his lip appears to have just newly scabbed after being split.

Nevertheless, he looks very calm, for once in his time here]

... I feel as if I may have made a mistake in voicing my opinion. I've never been a very polite man, and my mouth gets ahead of me without me thinkin' the words over first. It has always been a personal failing of mine, and I hope from this point out I'll do better to control my temper.

With that bein' said, I owe an apology to our new Guardian for actin' like a child denied a cookie instead of the adult I know that I am. It was uncalled for and rude for me to insult another person like that simply because I personally do not care for them.

Everyone, after all, deserves respect. It is a basic right.

My words were improper, and I should have voiced my dissent more appropriately. Chatter like that before is better left for drunken ramblings than polite conversation, especially in a public forum.

I apologize for my language, and I'll do my best to ensure that I do not lose control of my tongue in an open space such as this again when it comes to important matters.

[Sync has a good guess this is a "lesson" someone gave him, since he's heard this guy rant a few times, even if he's never bothered speaking up.]

Gotta say, you look like crap.

[Way to be sympathetic, Sync.]

Why the change of heart?

Don't feel like crap though, that's all that matters.

I've thought on it. It's rather below me to get up in a dander over politics, and I know how to be rational and reasonable. Worst thing ye can do in this case is lose your head.

[Have a mask, Cassian. At least the wearer can be identified as human.]

Fair enough.

But this Democracy seems lame. Might as well stick with Kings and Emperors and call it a day. Two cities didn't even get a second candidate so what was the point? You've got a point though; sometimes it's good to keep your head down. Have you changed your mind on cleaning up Everglade? If not maybe you should consider running next time.

It's not really democracy at this point no, but it's not due to any real outside force. No one ran. Can't force someone to run for somethin' they don't want. I've seen the bosses job after all, tis a terrible one. Thankless, really.

I'm going to try to do what I can to make the people who live here comfortable, tis all I can do.

You think you can manage that?

[There's no sarcasm, it's an earnest question.]

What keeps you going?

Havin' seen all this crap done and repeated so many times over that I could probably pass meself off as a fortune teller.

O, wise one, guide me.

For real though, did you ever get water?

I got quite a bit of it actually.

I almost worried. If you've got your ducks in a row, I'll catch you later.

Aye yes, no chaos or idiocy to laugh at today, sorry.

[A soft snort.]

Why bother to apologize? There'll always someone to take your words the wrong way or someone who just can't stand being told the truth.

Because even though I hate her, and her politics, and virtually everythin' else here, there's things ye do and do not say in public.

Says who? Her?

[Here comes a chipper tone from your bruh, waving into the video.]

Hey Cassian! It looks like you have a dark cloud over your head. Cheer up, this shall soon pass. Leave the politics to the politicians.

[shut up abel]

See I do that and the next thing ye know everythin' is on fire and everyone is dead.

Still dour over that Everglade hullabaloo I see! So, did you see moving out to Fayren as a good option yet?

The shop is movin' to me subarch actually.

[Amberdrake sighs at the video and rubs his forehead for a moment, before composing himself and switching his phone's camera on as well. On a private line, because Drake keeps his presence on the open network to a minimum.]

What happened to your face? I know it wasn't Sanzo, his knuckles aren't even bruised.

[Because yes, Drake checks these things. Regularly.]

I asked a friend to put me to bed. I was feelin' a bit cranky.

[Of course. Totally logical, right? Right.]

Via... what I'm guessing was a punch to the face?

Aye.

Didn't work but there was an attempt. I feel better because of it though.

[Drake actually sighs.]

Well, whatever... semi-works, I guess.

Works great, gives everythin' a nice quick shake, get the dust out.

Well! It's not often that I get such a sincere apology.

[Or any apology, really.

Grell gives a one-shouldered shrug.]

As I've said, speaking your mind is quite fine, and I do enjoy listening to others opinions.

I accept your apology.

[He's not surprised to hear that]

Thank ye.

That bein' said, if ye don't mind me speakin' my mind, I've a suggestion for ye, what after I picked through what I know of your goals in Everglade.

Ye can take 'em or leave 'em. Won't bother me none.

Oh? Do tell.

[She's curious to what ideas he may have.]

Back where I'm from, there's a decent vampire population most about anywhere ye look. They're people, just like anyone else, and it's considered a hate crime to discriminate against 'em. In order to take care of their need to drink blood, the government has set up places where ye can yell your blood.

The price is good enough to keep a lot of people off the streets for another week, and help 'em along with continuin' to look for new prospects and jobs. Encourages economical growth, lessens possible corruption by takin' the burden off prisons and jails, and opens up new jobs in the medical field for people who are interested in just startin' out there.

[She listens to the idea, and smiles at the prospects of it.]

That's a wonderful suggestion. It would fit in nicely with our agenda. I never understood why donating blood hasn't become a lucrative business.
