[IC] [MoM] AMBASSADOR IC CONTACT

[dendarii]

"This is the office of Ambassador Miles Naismith Vorkosigan. Leave me a message and I'll get right back with you.

Or, if this is an emergency, come bang on my door until I wake up."

He has helpfully provided an address in Nonah for a cozy office downtown. Go ahead, bang on the door; he's in the apartment just upstairs.

Alas, the line produces only static now. But the office is still there, having been donated to whoever the next Ambassador of Nonah will be.

[ It's been a few days since they last spoke, but Yusuke isn't letting him off the hook. He has spent a week up and down Nonah, mostly ignoring the convention to scout for locations in peace. Somewhere for training grounds, somewhere for (light) criminal activity,  and perhaps most importantly, somewhere for a public art installation.

So, ring, ring! ]

Ambassador? This is Yusuke Kitagawa.

[dendarii]

[ Miles picks up promptly. ]

Ah, Mr. Kitagawa. Good to hear from you again.

[lempereur]

Likewise.

I have a proposition for you, regarding a location for the mural. The south facing wall of the visitors' bureau downtown. It is frequented by new imPorts and tourists, and the square it is in sees heavy weekend traffic from locals.

[dendarii]

[ Is that one on his list? MIles glances over the one that he'd compiled, and ... hmm, no, he hadn't realized. But from the sounds of Yusuke's description it's a great spot. ]

Ah, that sounds just about perfect. I will have to put in a petition to the city.

[lempereur]

How long does something like that typically take?

[dendarii]

A week or so, I'd say.

[lempereur]

I expect you will send me an update, then?

[dendarii]

Indeed I shall.

... Have you any thoughts about what you'd like to paint?

[lempereur]

I want it to be about us, as imPorts. All of our diversity, our chaos, the beauty we have to add to this world, whether we intend to or not. Our humanity. I am not fond of the hero worship, I never have been. I only want to give people hope, not be fawned over.

[dendarii]

[ Miles nods at that, though it's not visible over the phone. ]

Something I'd like to see, anyway. Have you made any sketches?

[lempereur]

I have some, people and places I would like to include, mostly. How it all comes together will depend on the space. Would you like to see them?
