BUT TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT WE CAN REALLY LET GO ( OPEN )

[medusalith]

Date & Time: SATURDAY AT FIVE ( IT'S BACKDATED )
Location: DITR's offices in the hold, possibly spilling out into the hall if it gets super crowded.
Characters: Medusa, Saul, the staff of DITR, and YOU
Summary: In an effort to promote COMMUNITY OUTREACH the DITR hosts an open house! Free food and drink - you can't say no to that.
Warnings: Nothing? If anything comes up, please mark it in thread headers.

( IT'S A PARTY. THERE IS MUSIC OF QUESTIONABLE TASTE - PROBABLY ONE OR TWO ONE HIT WONDERS FROM THE 1980S ON REPEAT BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THEY COULD FIND UNTIL ANNE SINGS. THERE IS ALSO FOOD, BUT IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN THE MUSIC. THINK OPEN HOUSE FOOD - CHEESE AND CRACKERS AND MEATS AND LOTS OF DAINTY DESSERTS.

AND WINE. THERE IS LOTS OF WINE.

TAG YOURSELF IN OR HIT ANYONE ELSE UP - IT'S A FREE FOR ALL. )

Way more than have passed through these doors today, that's for sure.

[He listens to her carefully, then, one eyebrow arching slightly. Hm.]

I'd say that's an accurate assumption. I'm a criminal defense attorney, so standing up for rights is kinda my thing.

[precludes]

Do you think some of it might have been short notice?

[Oriko, personally, would wager it has more to do with DITR's public appearance - she's heard enough skepticism and suspicion and anger. Then again, if Saul is a lawyer...He's likely used to it.]

That's what I thought. [She certainly doesn't need to bring her history with the law into this conversation.] It interests me, as well.

I was wondering: what effect has the recent shift in Exile attitudes meant for DITR operations?

[5055034455]

Maybe.

[But Saul's money would be on the same as Oriko's.

And yes, he is so used to it. This is why he's inclined to tell people like Oriko and Lee to find a less abusive profession, but her question derails that train of thought completely. He hesitates.

That's one of the Department's flaws; the Exiles don't really factor into much.]

We're more focused on the Initiative's dealings with the Transports, specifically.

[precludes]

[No worries, she's got painful professions down to an art.]

As the name might imply. And that's a difficult enough task to manage, at first, I imagine.

I believe that one informs the other, though, given how the voice on the people is subject to change by our actions. [Ordered by...

So he sees.]

[5055034455]

Yeah, there's the key phrase: at first. We're still relatively new, we're still growing, we're still ironing out... kinks, so to speak.

[One of which is exactly what they're talking about now, and what he and Charlie had talked about earlier.

The Exiles.

Saul rubs the bridge of his nose.]

Maybe we should set up a suggestion box.

[precludes]

It's my experience that suggestions are better delivered in person.

[You make yourself available and you're harder to ignore. Wide and strong enough a presence.]

You may get lucky with them if you know your intentions towards them early in your organization's life. [These people, their world...that's what will suffer the consequences of their actions.]

Though if you wanted me to wait for your suggestion box...
