I am afraid things are even more complex than you realize. An ally of mine is also contesting the seat in De Chima: Hierophant Anastasya Griffin. She has my full support... Which means that I must remain committed to my campaign in Maurtia Falls.
[Besides which, Dooku has interests in the Falls. It would take a substantial incentive for him to walk away.]
Now, if Lord Baelish was to reconsider his own campaign, that might be of benefit to both of us. I must say, I am somewhat surprised to hear he has your support, Lucifer.
[ Literally the least supportive thing he could say. ]
Baelish is ill suited for De Chima. I hardly know him, but I'm closely enough aware that he's smarter with the politics of the criminal element than he is with science and medicine. De Chima's technological capabilities would be useless to him.
You, on the other hand.
But tell me why you're surprised. Do you know something I don't?
You will learn more about her soon enough. She believes as you and I do: that imPorts should not fear control by the natives.
Lord Baelish, however... I examined his Network postings, once I learned he was to be my opponent. It appears he is quite critical of imPorts who speak out against the authorities here. He favours collaboration.
If and when the day comes for you to rise against the Porter, it is difficult to imagine him standing with you... unless you know something about his motivations that I don't.
He suggests he does. He doesn't realize, I think, how little the "authorities" care about this place. Where he's from, I imagine the crown jumps at every little rumor, has spies everywhere. I think he neglects to consider just how little the authorities here care about our small talk.
In fact, I imagine I could go on the network right now and declare I intend to rebel against America, and I doubt I'd get as much as a surprise audit.
You keep your true motivations closer to your chest than most, Count. I'm sure you know a manipulator when you see one.
But that said, you have my attention. You really must introduce me to this friend of yours, she sounds like a keeper.
Indeed I do. But I do not doubt the validity of Baelish's suspicions... only the fearful conclusions he has drawn from them. I am certain such a post from you would go unopposed, because it could be made to serve their purposes. Surely you've noticed how they use the threat of chaos as justification to expand their control.
But that can be discussed later. I would be happy to arrange a meeting between you and the Hierophant, so that you may judge her for yourself. All I ask in return is that you keep an open mind regarding which candidates you support in the election. Your backing would be most valuable to me, and to the cause of change for imPorts.
[OOC: Spoke to Stasya's player, and he's up for playing out a meeting with Lucifer! Dooku can be there or not there as you prefer.]
You're paranoid as well. Don't worry. Give it a few years and you'll be just as dulled to the whole thing as some of the rest of us.
And my mind is open, I assure you. I haven't decided who to give my backing to yet.
Arrange a time and a place, and we can meet there. I have yet to even shake your hand in person, so why not kill two birds with one stone, hm? All friends together, after all.
[ ooc: answered in the tag! I would be all up for this, yes. ]
I will consult with the Hierophant and make the proper arrangements. I am quite certain that with support from beings like yourself, within a few years this world can be transformed into one where imPorts will have no need of paranoia... from any source.
[OOC: Any preference for which of us should start?]
Or perhaps we'll open the borders between alternate worlds, with my help, and we can put an end to all this pussy footing around--we want to change things where we come from, reorder the stars in our favor, correct history. I do, at least. That's what I want out of this, make no mistake.
[ ooc: I was going to put up an open catch all log tonight but got a little overwhelmed. I'll have something up tomorrow, though! ]
