[the voice that sounds over the journals sounds casual and almost amused, but there’s a definite, barely restrained annoyance and disdain to it] So this place is called Paixao, is it? I must say, you have a lovely city here. It’s just a shame that I had to visit it against my will. I… hope that you don’t plan on keeping me too long. I’m a busy man, and I’m already a little late for an appointment. I'd hate to keep my guests waiting, and I’d rather not ruin any potential relationship we might have when we've only just met.

I must say, I do like this little device here. The vocal recordings are a nice touch. Though it’s a little strange that a quaint little place like this would have something this advanced when you seem to barely have electricity, don't you think?

Anyway… I hope you people can point me toward the people in charge, as the person at the gate wasn’t the most welcoming when it came to information. I’d like to issue a formal complaint--sooner rather than later.

Oh, so the elected officials are busy? That's too bad, but not surprising.

They're not busy, they just hate "Outsiders" that's all.

Well... okay, yeah, there is the snow right now, but they still don't really care.

Still not very surprising. That's just human nature. Maybe a little chat might change his mind.

Errr... sure.

I don't think you're the first person to try to talk to him, but whatever. Have fun.

After awhile you start to get the hang of the whole politics game. It's all about compromise. I'll strike a deal that both of us will be happy with.

And what exactly are you going to offer him? Wait a sec, who are you anyway?

That depends on what he wants. Of course, a few things are immediately off the table, but I can't say what's going to happen when I haven't even met the man yet, can I?

And as far as who I am, well... Let's just go with Nemo for now.

*there's a small groan in the background, urgh, politics.*

Nemo? ... what's with trying to be cryptic?

... Priere.

It's not "being cryptic" so much as what I've decided to call myself lately. Unless you want to hear a long, drawn out explanation.

Not really, I don't do well with life stories.

But yeah, if you manage to get that mayor to listen, good for you. But for the most part, he wants us to leave.

Not that we don't disagree with that part.

I couldn't agree more. On both counts. The sooner we're all back to our own businesses, the better.

... yeah well, I've been stuck here for months... and some have been even longer.

It's not happening anytime soon...

...Months. [that. isn't. acceptable.]

And no one at all has found a way out? [but he does have a bit of work to do here, he guesses]

We're working on it.
