Navigating the political quagmire

[nietzsche_waifu]

Thank you for your hard work. As usual, it is your incredible efforts that allow State of Gucun to prosper.

[Devon has unceremoniously utilized one of the smaller briefing rooms as a... film-making studio? Whatever it is, she's talking in front of a camera, dressed up all professional-like. It doesn't look like she's having a live feed conversation with someone. Rather, the film is being recorded for later sending.]

We received your message. Worry not - I will handle our neighbours, assure them on our peaceful intent. Focus on internal affairs of the State.

Yun Li Kwan, out.

[Camera goes off.]


Neighbours, is it? Sometimes I miss the times when I didn't care what other people thought about me. When I didn't have to care.
No, not about me. About my country.

[Devon looks at a long, long list of further video messages to prepare and send, and sighs. Time to grab something to drink. Whether you were just passing by, actually have business with her, or perhaps you were forced convinced to help as camera crew - now's a good time to say something.]

Oh you know, I thought I could pop up behind you when you were filming.

I check videos before sending them, so I would have noticed.

Next time you should do it live.

Gucun is too far away to have a live connection like that.
Also, this way I can redo the video if something happens. Like, well, you.
