No party like an pope party??

[That... that was a thing for everyone. There should be no celebration for Lif but, well, even if Rhea has a very cynical view of such things it's probably for the best that everyone stays together. Her first stop is the cafeteria, after all nothing better to keep people in one spot than free food. There she bumps into Mira, leaving the snacks to her Rhea ends up writing notes to everyone to come to the cafeteria in a few hours.

Some she hands personally and if she can't find someone she slid it under their door. Rin's she slides into her room regardless.

Fortunately, you won't hear a sermon.]

If not I, who will? Only I would dare to do so!

[Because Shelley is a lunatic, really]

The problem is...I have been the mayor's assistant and I have been called a shrewd political maverick when I'm sober, but I have no experience in building government systems from the ground up. The town needs to be independent once again, but I'd like that to not involve scandals and disasters.

[Congrats, Rin, you have given Shelley dreams of revolution. That's going to fuel like three chapters of her life]

[mouflon]

[ ...Okay, Rin can't help but laugh a little at that. ]

Exactly what I said. [ ... ] That stuff isn't my forte, either. That's why I'm not working alone. Besides, there are plenty of "non-compliant" [ air quotes not demonstrated, but implied ] nations left that seem to have a pretty good idea of how to run things themselves. Better than what the Harways are offering, anyway.

What's your plan after your own revolution is complete, anyway? Do you have plans for the future after that?

[Rin is a smart gal, surely she has some plans for after it's done and people have what they need, Shelley is sure of it]

[mouflon]

[ That... catches her off-guard? Rin hesitates at the question like she isn't quite sure how to take it. ]

Like... Personally, or what?

[drladysounds]

Sure! You have dreams beyond the revolution, right? After all, that can't be for the rest of your life.

It's usually not a good idea to count your chickens before they hatch.

[ It's 50% what she says, 50% that she can't envision any life but the one she lives, 50% the nagging sense that it's asking too much for her to survive, and 50% a general embarrassment at talking about personal things. Which adds up to 200%, but that's just the kind of complex person Rin is. ]
