[GalFed] Villore Assembly resolution on the crowning of Empress Catiz - Intergalactic Summit - EVE Online Forums
EVE allows you to discover, explore and dominate an amazing science fiction universe while you fight, trade, form corporations and alliances with other players.
Bel Boma [12:44 AM]
I must say, this increased dialogue between our peoples thrills me to no end.
Lunarisse [12:45 AM]
We'll see what come so of it. I confess... I am wary of the motives of certain players in the Accords. That being said, part of our Mission is to spread the Good Word. We can't do that if we don't engage.

It does not help that while in the general population about ten percent of people are "snakes in the grass" but, for the Capsuleer population, it's closer to being that only ten percent aren't.
Lunarisse [12:50 AM]
*nods*
[12:50]
I am going to sleep. Good night all of you.
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [12:50 AM]
Goodnight Directrix.
Bel Boma [1:20 AM]
Sleep well, Directrix.
Eagla Yassavi [6:48 AM]
What a mess.
Bel Boma [6:49 AM]
I am disgusted with my fellow loyalist.
Eagla Yassavi [6:50 AM]
Badly phrased Federation posts. Amarr attacking posts and Amarr, unnecessarily.
Bel Boma [6:50 AM]
I cannot describe the loathing I feel at this moment.
Eagla Yassavi [6:50 AM]
It is... Unfortunate.
[6:50]
This is why I generally don't frequent any channel named 'Summit'.
Bel Boma [6:51 AM]
Pieter claims that Captain Shutaq has more credibility and authority than the three Holders who contributed to the formation of the resolution.
[6:51]
He does not.
Eagla Yassavi [6:51 AM]
Pieter is a Caldari loyalist, is he not?
[6:51]
Then his opinions on the matter mean nothing. Lady Mitara is the holder, Lord Shutaq is her Lord Consort.
[6:52]
Pieter is merely an outsider.
Bel Boma [6:52 AM]
Captain Shutaq is a bitter, sour, soulless creature who lost His love and light long ago. His words are worthless, and his thoughts suffer from the incoherence of prejudice.
Eagla Yassavi [6:53 AM]
I do not know him well enough to make such judgments, but I will keep that in mind.
Bel Boma [6:54 AM]
I have lost great respect for him through his destructive and careless "contributions" to the IGS.
Eagla Yassavi [6:55 AM]
nods. "I see."
Eagla Yassavi [6:58 AM]
What happened to the staff? The old staff has entirely vanished.
Bel Boma [7:01 AM]
The old IGS staff?
Eagla Yassavi [7:01 AM]
No. Sorry. The bar staff at New Eden.
[7:01]
Its not important. Probably fired or quit. I would, if I had to deal with us.
Eagla Yassavi [7:01 AM]
chuckles
Bel Boma [7:15 AM]
Ah. I do not know.
Eagla Yassavi [7:16 AM]
Somebody mentioned you run an ice cream parlor.
new messages
Bel Boma [7:33 AM]
I do.
Jennifer Starfall [7:33 AM]
Aldrith isn't a bad man. Cynical, yes, and bitter, but not a bad man.
Bel Boma [7:34 AM]
Speaking is an action. His words are bad.
Jennifer Starfall [7:34 AM]
He's fought a pointless war for too long.
CC Schmidt [7:34 AM]
Aldrith is a peanut gallery at his point.
[7:34]
Very frustrating.
Eagla Yassavi [7:34 AM]
I am unfamiliar with the term 'peanut gallery'.
CC Schmidt [7:35 AM]
He's so jaded that he just doesn't try to contribute because putting in the effort to is just too dangerous for his emotional state.
Lunarisse [8:10 AM]
@belboma I didn't name the venue in my post, because I wanted to ask you if we could use the Parlour for the Mixer. Cocktails could just mean fancy ice cream sundaes. *impish grin*
Bel Boma [8:10 AM]
I would love that. Please do.
[8:11]
The parlor exists to further Gallente-Amarr relations.
Jennifer Starfall [8:13 AM]
She had to take a moment to "compose herself." Meanwhile, whenever I took a breath, a power lead contacted my left hip, and she told me not to move. "If you move child, we will be forced to start over. You will have ruined hours of work."
Eagla Yassavi [8:13 AM]
makes a strangled noise that sounds like a suppressed laugh
Eagla Yassavi [8:14 AM]
"Was that meant for private channels?"
[8:14]
Oh. Wait. That was what you meant by 'borders on torture'?
Jennifer Starfall [8:19 AM]
Yes.
Eagla Yassavi [8:19 AM]
grimaces
Jennifer Starfall [8:19 AM]
But it's worth it. Her dresses are gorgeous.
[8:20]
And once they're fitted to you, quite comfortable.
Eagla Yassavi [8:20 AM]
nods. "Its just the creation process. What if you exhibit bad taste?"
Jennifer Starfall [8:24 AM]
She has this disappointed sigh she makes... the first time she used it on me I swear I almost looked up the DED threat profile for it.
Eagla Yassavi [8:24 AM]
I see.
Jennifer Starfall [8:25 AM]
You feel _bad_.
Eagla Yassavi [8:26 AM]
smiles. "I have a grown son. I'm fairly used to weaponized sighs.
Jennifer Starfall [8:28 AM]
Oh... wow. You could probably relate then, her dresses are her children.
[8:31]
@lunarisse, you're not going to make us wear a uniform for the ball are you?
Eagla Yassavi [8:33 AM]
smiles slightly. "I see."
Lunarisse [8:40 AM]
I am not going to change my policies on mandatory activities or the lack thereof. But.... it is... encouraged. (edited)
[8:43]
For at least the other events related to the coronation.
[8:43]
*mulls over a uniform versus her original planned outfit for the ball* (edited)
Jennifer Starfall [8:45 AM]
Luna, it's a kimono, a traditional dress of my people... and it'll have a Raata theme... and... she's Gallente.
Lunarisse [8:47 AM]
*nods* I see.
[8:48]
I was thinking, in all candor, more for the Coronation itself and the mixer immediately after.
[8:48]
*lightly* A Ball has a different .. set of considerations.
Eagla Yassavi [9:13 AM]
I'll have a dress made, if I have the chance.
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [12:53 PM]
I was never clear on this uniform business.
Lunarisse [12:57 PM]
Yes. I need to make a formal announcement along with suggestions for its use.
[12:57]
*lightly* it's been a busy weekend
Eagla Yassavi [1:01 PM]
Should I not be wearing mine in my portrait? I knew it was not mandatory, but I liked the looks.
Lunarisse [1:02 PM]
Feel free!
Eagla Yassavi [1:02 PM]
nods (edited)
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [1:04 PM]
I guess I need my Caldari authored Employee Manual to figure this out.
Eagla Yassavi [1:15 PM]
Wh... Why do we have one of those and not one from, say, the Empire? Or our own?
Lunarisse [1:17 PM]
The Caldari are known for the nuts and bolts of corporate mechanics. We, of course, have Scripture!
Eagla Yassavi [1:17 PM]
I see. Makes sense.
Eagla Yassavi [1:23 PM]
Oh my.
[1:23]
I was just reading the news... I am glad nobody was killed in that attack. Did you see? The chemical bombing?

Imperial Guard confirms rumors of thwarted attack in Throne Worlds - EVE Community
Eve Online is the world's largest MMO RPG universe rich in adventure, as player corporations compete in a massively multiplayer online space game.
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [1:43 PM]
Absolutely disgusting.
CC Schmidt [1:54 PM]
If it was really purists, then they're just as heretical as anyone else who needs to be purged. Filthy, vile way to go about things.
[1:54]
Chemical weapons... Eugh.
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [1:58 PM]
Innocent hounds.
CC Schmidt [1:59 PM]
I'm thinking it was on purpose. The hounds, that is. Guard dogs are still used in a lot of police duty work, even in the Empire, and around night security.
[1:59]
Less hounds, more strained workforce.
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [2:01 PM]
If they haven't they should adapt some dumb administrative AIs with security features. Omnipresence is the best defense.
CC Schmidt [2:03 PM]
Dumb admin AIs are vulnerable to ranged disruption from smart admin hackers. That, and EMP is easy to produce and package into small devices.
[2:03]
Theoretically you could plant EMP bombs in the vents and shut nearly everything down on certain levels.
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [2:04 PM]
I wonder if we can upload dumb AI matrices into a wetware mainframe.
Eagla Yassavi [2:29 PM]
By dumb AI do you mean 'Virtual Intelligence'? Certain laws preclude the creation of AI. And for good reason. Look at Rogue Drones!
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [2:35 PM]
I can't remember the terminology but, yes, all the AI's I deal with ICly are either actually dumb and meet the standards of the law or are presented in a way so as to seem to conform to the law. !!!NOT IN CHARACTER, LEFT ONLY AS A MONUMENT TO MY SHAME!!! (edited)
Eagla Yassavi [2:36 PM]
looks puzzled. "What is ICly?"
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [2:36 PM]
((Woops.
))
[2:37]
((Scratch _that_ frank admission from your IC mind.))
[2:38]
Yes, the AI describe is "intelligent" while not being "sentient" or "conscious". This is the simple way of describing the line that CONCORD and the empire's place between the legally permissible varieties of artificial constructs.
Eagla Yassavi [2:39 PM]
So a 'Virtual AI', then.
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [2:40 PM]
Maybe, I learned to call them Dumb AIs as opposed to the illegal Smart AIs.
Eagla Yassavi [2:40 PM]
Gotcha.
CC Schmidt [2:40 PM]
... it's not "virtual AI". It's a VI.
[2:40]
Virtual Intelligence.
[2:40]
Not Virtual Artificial Intelligence.
Eagla Yassavi [2:40 PM]
Think you. I had it right earlier.
CC Schmidt [2:40 PM]
That's just silly.
[2:41]
Speaking of silly, I need to go back to working on my tan.
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [2:41 PM]
Well, either seems redundant in that, to date, I'm fairly certain that all our Artifical Intelligences have been virtual.
[2:41]
I want you gold for the coronation Charles.
Eagla Yassavi [2:41 PM]
I suppose we should...
Eagla Yassavi [2:41 PM]
snorts and begins laughing (edited)
CC Schmidt [2:42 PM]
I'm already golden, my boy.
CC Schmidt [2:42 PM]
swaps his feed to idle.
Eagla Yassavi [2:42 PM]
I suppose we wouldn't actually know if an AI was self awware.
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [2:43 PM]
It requires a mix of psychology and observation similar to what one might do for animals. As I understand it anyway; much of the research is classified or does not officially exist at all.
Eagla Yassavi [2:43 PM]
Science is not my strong suit. (edited)
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [2:44 PM]
I am an amateur in the field. Utilizing constructs for my work and personal life has been very helpful but I build only upon the work of others.
Jennifer Starfall [3:48 PM]
Because Luna asked me to handle employee orientation, and you do not want me doing anything based on Scripture. You'd all be branded heretics or deviants in a minute.

Wh... Why do we have one of those and not one from, say, the Empire? Or our own?
Posted in #sfrim-icYesterday at 1:15 PM
[3:50]
And what most people colloquially refer to as "AIs" are more properly termed as "expert systems."
Bel Boma [4:53 PM]
My lord, you must have made a mistake when you tagged me in this mail. I am not a board member.
Ibrahim Tash-Murkon [4:54 PM]
As a matter of course I typically copy the VA diplomatic staff on these notices.
Lunarisse [4:57 PM]
He copied the Directors and the VA Observers from SFRIM.
Bel Boma [4:57 PM]
Ah. I see. (edited)
CC Schmidt [4:57 PM]
I'm on the delegation! Isn't that swell?
Lunarisse [4:57 PM]
Remember when I asked the two of you to assist?
Bel Boma [4:58 PM]
I do not appreciate your implications. I have assisted the assembly.
Lunarisse [4:58 PM]
My pardon! Wasn't sure from CC's comment.
Bel Boma [4:58 PM]
I have spread understanding of the relationship between the Kingdom and the Empire, as well as made them aware of the Kingdom's existence.
[4:59]
Charles does far more in the Assembly than I.
CC Schmidt [4:59 PM]
Yeah and that's not saying much because I pretty much don't have power there because of my observer status.
[4:59]
Well, I do, though.
Lunarisse [4:59 PM]
Also while I have you..
Bel Boma [4:59 PM]
Observers have no small amount of power.
CC Schmidt [5:00 PM]
Compared to the non-Observer folk?
Lunarisse [5:00 PM]
for the Mixer - I'd.. like to have a custard machine too... would you mind if I purchased one for your shop? I have such good memories as a girl of eating custard.
CC Schmidt [5:00 PM]
I think she has one.
Bel Boma [5:00 PM]
I have frozen custard.
Lunarisse [5:00 PM]
Wonderful!
Bel Boma [5:00 PM]
I have never had anyone order it, but I have it.
[5:01]
I will make an extra menu for my non-ice cream desserts.
Lunarisse [5:01 PM]
I'll note that in corporation. I am glad to subsidize your costs for the mixer as well.
CC Schmidt [5:01 PM]
Maybe don't enforce your shop's rules so hard this time either.
[5:01]
They'd probably be insulted if you dumped a phat-ass gallon of something on a paper plate.
[5:01]
Which would be hilarious t-b-h.
Bel Boma [5:03 PM]
I appreciate the sentiment, Directrix, but I have a several hundred percent mark up on my products compared to the cost of production.
[5:03]
Your generosity is appreciated.
Eagla Yassavi [5:31 PM]
I will have to try some
Jennifer Starfall [5:33 PM]
It'll probably be good. I've never had anything in her shop that wasn't.
Bel Boma [5:34 PM]
Thank you. I put my best effort into the parlor.
CC Schmidt [5:34 PM]
Remember that half-foot thick high-tensile anti-ballistic glass you had installed?
[5:34]
That was so neat.
Jennifer Starfall [5:35 PM]
It shows, suuolo.
CC Schmidt [5:35 PM]
Maybe limit the Sunshine people can have.
[5:35]
Maybe having people dying in bathrooms is a bad idea.
Jennifer Starfall [5:37 PM]
I never killed anyone in there! Not even that baseliner who kept coming in for a while.
CC Schmidt [5:37 PM]
I mean drinking themselves to death.
[5:37]
Like that one Bork guy. What a card.
Jennifer Starfall [5:37 PM]
Oh. Right.
CC Schmidt [5:38 PM]
Man. Remember that one thing we co-opted? Good times, honesty. I'd do it again. How dare he.
Jennifer Starfall [5:38 PM]
Speaking of the ladies room, Bel, how's your supply of replacement paper towel dispensers?
CC Schmidt [5:38 PM]
's tone drops some of his jovial jokester in favor of a touch of darkness.
Jennifer Starfall [5:42 PM]
That is an event that I wish to leave well in the past, Charles. I've paid my price and am done with it.
CC Schmidt [5:42 PM]
No fun.
Jennifer Starfall [5:42 PM]
idly rubs her left forearm.
Bel Boma [5:45 PM]
You think you are so coy.
[5:46]
My replacement paper towel dispenser is fine.
[5:46]
Sunshine has always been limited.
Eagla Yassavi [5:56 PM]
Sunshine? Ballistic glass? What kind of ice cream parlour is this?
Jennifer Starfall [5:57 PM]
The best one.
Bel Boma [5:58 PM]
I cater exclusively to Capsuleers.
[5:59]
... And DUSTers. That is why I needed the new glass.
Jennifer Starfall [6:02 PM]
I think the glass was only broken once.
Bel Boma [6:04 PM]
Only once.
Jennifer Starfall [6:05 PM]
Paper towel dispensers on the other hand...
Eagla Yassavi [6:07 PM]
What happened?!
Eagla Yassavi [6:07 PM]
sounds alarmed
Bel Boma [6:07 PM]
You believe you are so coy.
Jennifer Starfall [6:09 PM]
No, no, you've pretty much berated any sense of that out of me.
[6:10]
Nothing to be alarmed... too alarmed about, Eagla. I'm pretty sure you're aware that I can have a temper.
CC Schmidt [6:12 PM]
Everybody who has a tantrum in Bel's shop breaks the towel dispensers.
[6:12]
It's hilarious.
Jennifer Starfall [6:12 PM]
I thought it was just me.
CC Schmidt [6:12 PM]
Nope. Pretty sure more than you.
Bel Boma [6:13 PM]
Do you remember the baseliner?
Jennifer Starfall [6:13 PM]
Yes. I nearly put a hyper-kinetic round in her head.
Eagla Yassavi [6:14 PM]
I didn't know that, but I do now.
Bel Boma [6:14 PM]
She had done that, as well.
Eagla Yassavi [6:14 PM]
You should electrify them
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:14 PM]
Hello all.
Jennifer Starfall [6:15 PM]
They don't work very well as paper towel dispensers, then.
Eagla Yassavi [6:15 PM]
says, deadpan, "Sure they do. Only if you wear gloves."
Thal Vadam [6:15 PM]
hi
Jennifer Starfall [6:16 PM]
Hello, Ms. Askariin, Thal. (edited)
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:19 PM]
Erm... what's this about electrifying baseliners? Should I be worried?
Bel Boma [6:21 PM]
I had a baseliner "patron" who would use my parlor to solicit money from my capsuleer patrons.
[6:21]
She would often start conflict.
Jennifer Starfall [6:21 PM]
No, not at all.
Thal Vadam [6:21 PM]
you should be worried Satja
Jennifer Starfall [6:22 PM]
Said patron insisted on intruding on my privacy at a very emotional time for me.
Lunarisse [6:22 PM]
Whatever happened to her?
Jennifer Starfall [6:22 PM]
Thal!
Lunarisse [6:22 PM]
I remember that patron
Bel Boma [6:22 PM]
I am unsure. After several instances where she aggressed capsuleers, I asked her not to return for her own safety.
Thal Vadam [6:23 PM]
(( Well thank god I realised this was IC before i posted an Illidan meme ))
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:24 PM]
Sounds like she was kind of asking for it.
Bel Boma [6:25 PM]
Mmm. I cannot speak on that matter. I can only say that I did not want any consequences to occur in my parlor, where I would have to clean up.
Eagla Yassavi [6:25 PM]
There would be paperwork.
Bel Boma [6:26 PM]
No, no paperwork. However, I have done my share share of viscera clean up, and I cannot recommend the smell.
Jennifer Starfall [6:26 PM]
One good thing that came out of that... encounter was my realization that sometimes caring about someone means being willing to not commit atrocities.
Jennifer Starfall [6:26 PM]
smiles fondly.
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:27 PM]
Well I can understand why.... sometimes you empyreans can be a bit disjointed from how normal people like us settle things. A broken nose is usually enough for us. Would rather like to avoid viscera if possible.
Thal Vadam [6:27 PM]
......A very important lession
Bel Boma [6:28 PM]
I am glad our relationship served positively.
Eagla Yassavi [6:28 PM]
I've seen enough death in my previous life to want to see it personally again.
Bel Boma [6:28 PM]
I am unsure you understand the extent of the confrontations she would solicit.
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:29 PM]
Surely not serious enough to be killed over...
Bel Boma [6:30 PM]
Samantha Hillard had a death wish, in plain words. Yes, insults serious enough to those of Amarr power and rank to not unfairly merit that type of response.
[6:30]
I had to convince more than one patron not to mangle her.
[6:30]
Even my friend Rhia found her patience tested to the point of violence.
Jennifer Starfall [6:31 PM]
And Rhia had the patience of a saint.
[6:31]
I miss her.
Bel Boma [6:31 PM]
It was why I had considered making her a full partner in my parlor.
[6:31]
I miss her as well.
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:32 PM]
Still killing people seems a bit extreme. You guys can be scary sometimes.
Jennifer Starfall [6:32 PM]
I know.
Bel Boma [6:32 PM]
It is extreme, yes.
[6:32]
I did not wish her harm. Thus my request that she abstain from returning.
Jennifer Starfall [6:32 PM]
It's had its price.
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:33 PM]
Well her loss. Not sure what kind of personal can be angry with ice cream around.
[6:33]
*person
Bel Boma [6:34 PM]
She would order my products with no ability to pay with full knowledge that she lacked the ability, then solicit my other patrons to pay for her. In the event that these perfect strangers refused, she would choose to mock their appearance and wax poetic about the capsuleer condition, whereupon she would be so insulted that she would leave without paying.
[6:35]
There were times when she would be so incensed she would push other patron's desserts over and spill her dessert on them intentionally.
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:36 PM]
.
Bel Boma [6:36 PM]
There were times she entered my parlor not to enjoy ice cream, but exclusively to coerce my patrons to buy things for her, such as a hotel room, clothes, and more.
[6:37]
... As well as the time she vandalized the parlor by destroying a paper towel dispenser.
[6:39]
I am comfortable dealing with any slight upon me and my business. I do grow weary, however, when my discomfort is inflicted upon my patrons. The parlor is no place to threaten to punch someone.
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:40 PM]
Well I'll make sure not to damage any paper towel dispensers when I visit.
Bel Boma [6:40 PM]
Thank you. That is generous of you.
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:44 PM]
I make no promises not to break rude peoples noses though.
Jennifer Starfall [6:45 PM]
In my defense, it was never premeditated.
Bel Boma [6:51 PM]
I tend to ask those who are rude to leave to avoid the breaking of noses.
Eagla Yassavi [6:53 PM]
... This all sounds highly entertaining
Jennifer Starfall [6:54 PM]
I've acted as a bouncer on a few occasions.
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:54 PM]
I guess, I'd just reward my patience with extra ice cream scoops.
CC Schmidt [6:54 PM]
Remember that time I almost got shot?
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:54 PM]
Ugh.... Jennifer.... you're a bouncer?
CC Schmidt [6:54 PM]
Good times.
Kador 'definately not Satja' Ouryon [6:55 PM]
Oooh people love trying to shoot other people in bars. Why is that I wonder?
Bel Boma [6:55 PM]
This is not the reputation I had hoped the parlor would earn.
Jennifer Starfall [6:55 PM]
It's a wonderful place. With all sorts of treats. I highly recommend the Ni-kunni spiced hit chocolate.
Bel Boma [6:57 PM]
Yes. The Sarain chocolate is a favorite among patrons.
Eagla Yassavi [6:57 PM]
I'll be sure to show up sometime
Eagla Yassavi [7:35 AM]
I see.
Bel Boma [7:35 AM]
He contents himself in punishing others for caring.
CC Schmidt [7:35 AM]
And Pieter... Don't get me started.
[7:35]
What a fucking mess.
Eagla Yassavi [7:36 AM]
That's unfortunate.
Eagla Yassavi [7:37 AM]
sounds sympathetic. "To Aldrith, I mean."
Jennifer Starfall [7:37 AM]
Pieter is also a decent man. He is very loyal his patron mega and the State, which is likely biasing him.
CC Schmidt [7:37 AM]
Tempted to respond that maybe Pieter is so sour because unlike his shitty organization, the VA has actually changed some things?
[7:38]
I don't really care if he's a decent person or not. Actions, words, et cetera.
Jennifer Starfall [7:38 AM]
frowns.
Eagla Yassavi [7:38 AM]
That may only make the problem worse and make us, both as Societas and Amarr, look worse than we already do after that fiasco.
CC Schmidt [7:38 AM]
There's no reason to dump on the thread in such a childish "ha ha, gotcha!" way that he has.
Jennifer Starfall [7:38 AM]
Yes, Eagla.
CC Schmidt [7:38 AM]
So smug. So obnoxious.
[7:39]
Everyone else has pulled out because they don't want to be made fun of.
[7:39]
Everyone else latched onto Utari "The Mega Chin" Onzo's shitty post.
Eagla Yassavi [7:39 AM]
I fail to understand what say CVA has in the matter. It has been some time since they were relevant in Empire affairs, has it not?
[7:40]
What concern is it of theirs?
CC Schmidt [7:40 AM]
CVA ain't done shit 'sept outwardly be "for" the Empire.
Eagla Yassavi [7:40 AM]
I see.
Jennifer Starfall [7:42 AM]
So... not to change topics, but does anyone know what Luna meant by "uniforms" for the ball?
Bel Boma [7:42 AM]
We have corporate uniforms.
Eagla Yassavi [7:42 AM]
I'll ahve to look at the mail.
CC Schmidt [7:42 AM]
Maybe the Society could do well by not letting its backbone be twisted so painfully by random IGS denizens and 'loyalists'.
Eagla Yassavi [7:43 AM]
I found the references to the uniforms a while back.
CC Schmidt [7:43 AM]

beams. "I'm even wearing my proper uniform in my portrait."
Jennifer Starfall [7:43 AM]
We do?
Eagla Yassavi [7:43 AM]
nods
Eagla Yassavi [7:43 AM]
I'll send you the Galnet page I was referred to.
Bel Boma [7:43 AM]
Charles designed them.
CC Schmidt [7:44 AM]
Me and Goldfinch.
Eagla Yassavi [7:44 AM]
Goldfinch?
CC Schmidt [7:44 AM]
Goldfinch and I. Whatever. You know what I mean.
[7:44]
Jade Rkard? She's a cutie.
[7:44]
Too bad I think she died or something because I haven't seen her in a year.
Eagla Yassavi [7:44 AM]
I literally do not know who yo uare talking about right now.
Bel Boma [7:45 AM]
The Society is not nearly as outspoken as it needs to be in regards to matters like this. We are drown out by the hate.
[7:47]
We let the lost, confused, and stupid speak in our place. (edited)
CC Schmidt [7:47 AM]
I agree. We need to be the paragon.
[7:47]
The virtue. The ... Sefrim, right?
[7:48]
That's what the name refers to?
Jennifer Starfall [7:49 AM]
Goldie is a member of the Order of Jamyl. She was... born Jin Mei, but was enslaved by the Cartel, but was rescued by a Holder, whom she married, I believe. Her relationship is... odd. She's a beautiful soul, and a dear friend.
Eagla Yassavi [7:50 AM]
Ah, I see.
Jennifer Starfall [7:51 AM]
Charles, the uniform is pretty, but hardly ball material. Is Luna expecting us to wear that for a _ball_? No, offense Charles.
CC Schmidt [7:55 AM]
I didn't make the decision.
Jennifer Starfall [7:55 AM]
I'm going to have to literally hide from Madame.
Eagla Yassavi [7:55 AM]
Madame?
CC Schmidt [7:56 AM]
She mentioned it before but didn't elaborate.
Jennifer Starfall [7:57 AM]
Madame Gauthier. She's a dress maker... engineer practically that I go to for formal dresses.
Eagla Yassavi [7:57 AM]
Ah, I think you mentioned her when I was looking for a dress maker.
[7:57]
Yes, I remember that now.
Jennifer Starfall [7:58 AM]
She does gorgeous work, but she's very... demanding.
Eagla Yassavi [7:58 AM]
How so?
Jennifer Starfall [8:04 AM]
Her studio looks like a systems engineer's shop, but she will insist on doing measurements by hand. And God help you if you express bad taste in a preference. I once joked about pink and green.
Jennifer Starfall [8:04 AM]
winces.
Jennifer Starfall [8:05 AM]
And the fittings border on torture.
Eagla Yassavi [8:05 AM]
raises an eyebrow. "I've seen a person wearing that tuxedo around the Broken Piano. Pink and green. What happened?"
