<GMC> "I see a lot of ponies today... ponies of all kind that I'm glad to know. Some of you saw me at the train station and already heard my name, but for those who haven't, I'm Alegra Goodheart, and I hope to be your friend during the week I'll be here."
--> Nova_Flux (~Nova_Flux@99-92-68-68.lightspeed.elpstx.sbcglobal.net) has joined #FourCannon-MeetingHall
--> Eternity (~Sunny@c-24-129-117-47.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #FourCannon-MeetingHall
-*- GreenLight gulps, looking at Alegra and staying silent, politely listening to the mare's introduction
-*- Blueshift turns around, peering through the doorway to watch this praised politician on stage, drinking his coffee slower while occasionally going back to stare at the sky
-*- Tali is leaning against crystalshine smiling politely from the front row.
-*- Tonic stares at the noble / politician with an untrusting gaze
-*- Nova_Flux slowly slips in to see what she been hearing around town.
<Tali> [or just seats near the stage if they aren't in rows]
-*- CrystalShine sighs and nuzzles Tali "Everything will be OK, don't worry" whispers to her.
<-> Blueshift is now known as NPC-Blueshift
-*- Eternity stands near the front and side, her back to the wall as she half listens to the speech, half watches the crowd for any shenanigans.
-*- NPC-Blueshift remains at the doorway, watching the mare on stage and watching the clouds, all the while drinking his beloved coffee
-*- Weathervane offers a pleasant and lowers her head to Alegra as though to return the greeting, even if she isn't necessarily seen. It seemed like a good thing to do, at least, since the tone is congenial enough.
<GMC> "but not all can be polite greetings and laughs, my dearest" Says the noble. Her fancy scholar dress suits well he earth pony build, remarking her cute features and soft pastel colors. A tall pony in red armor joins the stage as well, remaining close to Iron Wing. "For Equestria has commited a mistake I'm here to correct... Before we can start, I want to apologize, to all of you, for the a
-*- Boris[Ronin] watches and listens, not entirely sure what he was expecting from Alegra
<Boris[Ronin]> [to all of you, for the a-]
<GMC> trocity commited based on ignorance and fear, on selfish goals that have confined you to this beautiful, yet cruel region. I know my words don't and never will supply what you lack here, or what you've suffered here. Even so, it'd keep gnawing at my heart not to make it known that many of us are working hard to not only include you into the Equestrian spectrum of allies, but recognize you as yo
-*- Nova_Flux finds her way in and sits next to Boris.
<GreenLight> [as yo-]
<Boris[Ronin]> [/me pushes away the purple filly with a hoof]
-*- WhiteLight slowly shyes back against the stallion's side after that, chuckling a little uner her breath as she sips the tea, she reamins silent for a while and simply plants another kiss against his cheek in response before turning her head to politely listen to the noble who just made her entrance "Aw yiss there she is, eeee!" She whispered before actually going silent.
<GMC> ur own culture, deserving of a land of their own to call home and forge your own destiny unbound of the oppresive chains we've put on you"
<Nova_Flux> [Senpai notice me please D:]
<GMC> "It'll be a job of all of us, in charge of every single one of you as well as the ponies that bravely work at Canterlot and other towns  to ensure you, humans, cannonites, a future bright as the fire I can see in your eyes"
-*- Tali raises her eyebrows at this speech "My, it seems she's nailed the problem area at least."
-*- GreenLight murmurs in agreement
-*- Eternity smiles a bit as she listens to the speech.
-*- CrystalShine is leaning on Tali and listening, but at the same time scanning the surroundings with a worry… She doesn't feel right somehow. Nods at Tali "Yes, she did."
-*- Rain listens in and wonders what all the baffle is going to lead up to...
<GMC> The pony in red armor shifts on his spot, while Iron Wing stares at Alegra in awe. "My fellow ponies, you are here to find your destiny. We don't know, for sure, what strange force put you all on this land, but is time to leave our fears aside and work together to find its purpose. Nothing happens accidentaly, those don't exist. With that I also want to accept some guilt"
<GMC> Alegra looks to the floor, then to the many faces she's talking to. Her smile has been replaced for a more serious expression long ago. "If me and my colleagues had worked earlier to assist you, many tragedies could have been avoided. It's for those that fallen, that've died in sacrifice for us that we must go on, to know that we are not here in vain, in the hands of chaos. Harmony will exist
-*- Nova_Flux is still confuse a bit as to why they are here now but continues to listen.
<Eternity> [will exist]
<CrystalShine> [Harmony will exist- in case something got lost]
<GMC> and prevail between humans and ponies, that's our goal and nothing will stop us from achieving it." The mare takes a small pause to lick her lips, and is handled a glass with water promptly by a unicorn. She thanks her with a nod."So please, as much I understand not all of you believe in my cause due to past violations of your rights as free creatures, I beg of you to let me try to know wh
<GMC> at motives humans, what they want and do, how they live and what they believe. In exchange you'll win more than a friend, you'll win yourselves the chance to arise on your own as a nation."
<-> GreenLight is now known as NPCLight
<NPCLight> [DAngit, time for work... pls pastebin.  Bye!]
<WhiteLight> [Bye Light.]
-*- Eternity scans her eye over the crowd, Curiosity overtaking her as she tries to gauge their reactions.
<Eternity> [:^)]
-*- Weathervane frowns slightly as she listens, holding her hoof to her lips as she thinks over Alegra's words, slowly digesting the appeal while she observes the speaker's expressions and gestures. She begins to show more of a smile once again as she mentions motives and beliefs, even giving a light chuckle as her thoughts race a moment. 'There's a lot we can say about that,' she
-*- Weathervane thinks, but she keeps it to herself for the moment as she also looks out to the rest of the crowd.
<GMC> The mare drinks some water and nods at the crowd. "My activities will lead me to many of the places of this colony, which I hope you'll let me call home as well. For your attention to my request and apology, many thanks. Now, if any of you has questions, I'll gladly answers them"
<GMC> The mare ponders for a bit and then giggles. "Well, to answer that, yes. FourCannon, if our attempt succeeds, would be turned into its own sovereign state with its own diplomacy and free of Equestrian, Vanguard or any other foreign law. Even more, it'd be a valuable ally to us"
-*- Eternity lets out a relieved sigh, as the crowd seems to take it well.
-*- Rain blinks as she looks around, "uh well yeah I mean, back in the really really early ages uh there was a nation of city states that basically kinda worked out with each city being a nation thingy...course most of em kinda went we're better than you are and then lot of pointy sticks where waved about at that point..."
<Tali> *a few of the more unruly types sit in the corner and eye the mare skeptically, though they've not worded open hatred of the equestrians since she started.  Of course, there is a somewhat small number of them.
-*- Nova_Flux is slowly not liking how this is going.
<GMC> "Thanks for the intormation, Rain. But war and conflict isn't in the interest of Mainland as of now. This land has become of great interest to us as well as you as another culture. Since you arrived, several colonies of humans were instaured, so this means FourCannon would be the first to achieve sovereignity, opening the option to all others"
-*- Maple_Leaf smiles, though it wavers a bit at that news. She whispers, "Do we even have a large enough population to be our own nation? I thought we were going to be part of Equestria."
-*- Boris[Ronin] raises an eyebrow, / sitting down for a moment and reachign for his notebook, scrawling down a few things a he looks up now and again to them all
-*- Inkwell gulps, having just stayed quiet till now. She looks over at Crystal and blinks, "Our own nation huh? I'm a little bummed out... I kinda hoped we'd get integrated..."
-*- Nova_Flux sighs as she hears ponies both wanting and not wanting this. "Boy this is gonna get awkward."
-*- WhiteLight 's clapping continues for several seconds despite the little number of ponies who actually did, maybe she's just naive but she was thoroughly filled with glee at this prospect, only after a nother second she realized something "Wait so, we... We wont be alone here again right? I mean we can still kinda count on being sorta protected? Somehow...?"
<WhiteLight> "Even if we can do it ourselves uh... There's problems arriving soon just a thing..."
<GMC> The mare scratches her chin and finishes her water, then sits on her haunches and nods. "Equestria would extend a more friendly hoof to protect you. Now, if what's more in the interests of the town is being included into Equestrian land, that can be filled into a survey or talked with your political representants."
-*- Rain joins in on the clapping as well after some thoughts, "Well that sounds rather cool to be honest, nah White i bet it be more like military alliance and protection pacts."
<GMC> "You are the ones chosing your destiny as of now, my project is just a tool"
-*- Maple_Leaf hums. "Well at least integration is on the table." Her smile returns, eyeing the noble pony with newfound hope.
<WhiteLight> "Oh sweet then I'm all for it then! I hope the others will be too!" She ten added with her enthusiasm coming back to her rather quickly grinning to Alegra again looking around the room to see what the others are really doing, feeling the place a bit silent all of a sudden "Hm, Shoot i should've gathere peoople for that herodotus doctrine thing earlier on... Haaa..."
<Tali> *one of the members of the group at the back decides to get up and leave the building.
-*- Eternity mulls it all over in her head, hmming a bit to herself. She’d known about it for a while now, but to actually hear the gameplan from the horse’s mouth, as it were, it really sounded like they had something good going.
-*- CrystalShine nods "I believe she just didn't want us to feel Equestria wants to control us when it happens… If it's up to our decision, I'm glad for it."
<Rain> "I rather like it to be honest, means we can make our own decisions and such!" Rain smiles at the idea and at White.
<GMC> "If there are no more questions, I think we can enjoy music and know each other more personally."
