Summary: Haruki is interested in diplomatic mission and invites his girls in an open network post. A little less than a week later, the group sets out to get down to negotiations.

[I don't actually know for sure who's here and who isn't, I just wanted to get it up so I can establish it happened/is happening

So it's been a little less than a week. Haruki took that time to pack up some supplies, buy some maps, cook some lunches, and generally be ready to set out and get down to negotiations. It seems they're going to need to journey out there and while it isn't far, he hasn't left the city yet and with quests talking about murderous parrot-things, he actually is a little concerned. But... he's got this. He even has some special things backed in his backpack. So here's here to meet everyone at the greed city gate.

...Naturally he's also the first one here]

'Huh. Maybe we won't die doing this if he's actually looking into it like this.'

I think I've heard a couple people mention them at the shop? Warrior race that's pretty much a matriarchy and there's a couple women who keep gossiping about the Chieftain and one of her Braves being together.

'Actually there's a lot of gossip I overhear even if I don't want to at work now that I think about it.'

Lizard-people... that's kinda neat. And a war-based matriarchy-- I like the way they think, [she says thoughtfully, walking along. That explains a lot about how they'd felt to her senses when she'd run into them. The description is helpful, because she hasn't physically accosted any of them to get a feel with her hands. At least not yet.]

I haven't heard anything, but I haven't exactly been listening. I get enough gossiping old ladies at home.

Think we'll end up fighting them?

[storywriter]

I'd hope not. This request is supposed to be a diplomacy request; if we ended up fighting them, that means we failed.

[deusexhormones]

Yeah, exactly. [...] So that's all we've heard from rumors, really?

[little_miss_snarker]

What do you expect? I've been focusing more on work than gossip. 'Surprisingly, I've learned how to make a halfway decent cup of coffee because of it.'

[She steps a little closer to the group in general. Even if she agreed to this the whole idea of meeting these people in an official diplomatic capacity still leaves her nervous.]

[fieldtrip]

That's what they always say about it being diplomacy, [Toph says with a snort, folding her arms behind her head and walking along leisurely.]

I know how politics work, and the boring parties are just a lead up to the messy parts.

[storywriter]

Still, I think I'd rather deal with the boring parts rather than the messy parts. It can get a little too hectic for my tastes otherwise. [Or just downright violent.]

[deusexhormones]

[Okay, consulting his map... down this side passage. Up front, he leads the way and looks up at the ceiling when he hears some chirping. He can't see that far but there's... movement up there.

Bats?

Okay look back to the cave]

Yeah, well, we're heading to a warrior society with only on-- two [He assumes Estelle can] people who can actually fight. Let's hope it doesn't go too far south.
