baetiful | IC CONTACT POST

I believe it is worth a try. Former Ambassador Hundred is quite understanding to the plights of imPorts. He's been in this world since the beginning and came over from another world similar to this that he spent many years within. Long enough to become mayor of their city. He has seen all kinds of individuals and and I'm certain he has had to meet people of similar dietary requirements. None of which who have probably gone about it the right way as you intend.

His very reason for seeking this position in the Senate is to give us imPorts a voice there. And this is the sort of issue that needs a respectable voice. I can approach him with the topic initially, if you wish. Even if he does not agree to bring this up to the government immediately, I know because of all his experience, he will have insight on how best to approach this situation for all of us.

I see. He does seem like a person who could help. I'd appreciate greatly if you had the first contact, Lord Baelish. I understand I am making others speak for me, but it's a rather sensitive topic, as you understand, and support is important in this case. I would contact him after, if the matter was met with interest.

if it's alright with you, of course.

I would not mind in the least. I consider him to be a friend, and I can think of far worse things than having a conversation with a friend about a very important topic.

I shall contact him as soon as I can and then be in touch with you in that regard. Is there anything else you need at the moment, my friend?

Thank you so much, Lord Baelish. I will wait for your contact, once you speak to him.

I don't have anything else to discuss but- I just wish to mention something else. I don't want the government to give some sort of special access. I want this to involve all the imPorts. My situation is strange, but I'm sure there are many others that require something specific - dietary or medical or anything else - and I fear the government may use that to force registration. [ so, in other words ] I want to change this for everyone, not just myself. [ because Kaneki actually has cannibal friends, and vampire friends, too ]

It's quite the noble cause you are undertaking. But it's also a precarious situation. While we did not ask to be a part of this world, this government also does not have to take care of us in the way it does. You should not have to feel forced into it, but registration is a sign of good intent, a pledge that you will not do this country any harm. And while I do agree that you should not be forced to register in order to get the things you need, as I said it would be equivalent to them withholding food from us if we chose not to register, I can also see them growing wary if more and more imPorts in your situation chose not to.

[ There's a thoughtful pause. These matters are delicate, and great change does take time. This is something he knows first hand far too well. ]

For now, I do fear we may be met by backlash if we try to push for too much too quickly. The government may simply feel that they should not be forced to help the unsettled, even those with special requirements, if the unsettled cannot pledge good will in return. So I will fight on your behalf, Kaneki. And what I would need from you in return is to show them that simply because you've chosen to be unregistered does not mean you intend to cause trouble or do harm. Just the opposite. And only from your good example can we push for this change for everyone.

I have been under their conditions for two years, Lord Baelish. I have been out under probation out of good will. I have been kidnapped and brainswashed by this country's enemies and I have even worked for this government as a Police officer. I've shown them my goodwill for far too long.

If they give imPorts the option to register, it should be to all imPorts, not just the ones they are unable blackmail into it. [ because damn right it is blackmail. ButKaneki pauses for a second. He can't sound TOO bitter of the government when speaking to an Ambassador, now can he? ]

... Lord Baelish, please understand that this, too, is goodwill. I am not registered. [ he is getting food from SOMEWHERE. And while he will never directly admit to be doing something illegal, it's implied ] In fact, none of the people-eaters that I have met are. What does the government think it's happening? [ it's true that Kaneki doesn't kill, but let's be real for a moment: if someone is born eating people, murder is a damn good option. And they are very good at not being caught too ]

I'm not starving and I could ignore this matter. [ he too knows how not to be caught ] But here I am, exposing myself again, asking the government to reconsider because I want everyone happy and to respect each other. Us, the government and the natives. [ who might be turned into food if nobody does anything about it. Like they probably already are. ] This IS goodwill.

I am not the one you need to convince of these things. I'm already on your side. But I'm also being realistic with you that this is the view the government officials are likely to take if we press this issue beyond your own predicament at this current moment. To see change takes time and understanding from both parties. We must first work with them to change things for you before we can advocate a change on a grander scale. And you must also show them helping you is not a decision they will regret.

But should all of this not work out in your favor, I can at least promise you that Maurtia Falls will be a city you can feel secure within. I will not stand by and allow them to imprison you when you tried to go about this the right way.

[ Sanctuary among the criminals and murderers. ]

The reason I'm doing this isn't because I need it. It's because this government and the native population need it, either they see it or not. [ ~~he'll force his peaceful ways on them |8~~ ] I'm not worried about a negative answer from the government, they should be the ones worried because of what the refusal implies. [ it implies imPorts continuing to do illegal things in other to survive, including murder. It also implies that the government really likes controlling whenever they can control someone. It also implies that whatever they do to Cannibals & Co. they can easily start doing to every imPort (imagine what's like if they forbid everyone from getting food unless they register).

So far, not many know of this situation and it'd probably be for the best if the government changed this situation before anyone notices. ]

I can show them they don't have to regret it, but I have never given them a reason to regret ever helping when I was registered. If they argue against it, I doubt it'll be about what I do, and rather it'll be about what I am. [ and he can't really help what he is. ]

- And Lord Baelish. I already am there. [ y e p. Those are Kaneki's hunting ground ]

Well, that does save you having to find a place to stay in the city at the least.

[ He replies with amusement. ]

But like I said, I will do what I can to aid you in this. Perhaps the government may very well surprise us in how they will be willing to aid all imPorts with situations similar to yours by not denying them their necessities regardless of registration status.

[ Petyr highly doubts it, though. And his challenge is going to be finding a way to approach this without coming across like he's biting the hand that feeds them. It's just a good thing he does enjoy challenges. ]

I shall speak to Mitchell Hundred for you, and I will let you know what he says in regards to all of this. In the meantime, if there is anything else you need while within Maurtia Falls or from me personally, do not hesitate to ask, Kaneki.

[ he doesn't live there, he only goes there to eat. And he already has friends to help him with that, like March.

But he isn't going to mention that. ]

We will see how it goes. Thank you, again. And I will not forget this, Lord Baelish, I'm in debt to you.
