This is very beautifully done, and I-- [Raul's voice is hurt, as the NV is shifted, and then a voice is heard in the background before the NV is turned off

Did this come up from what I said to you before?

[rapturescreed]

This fundraiser has been in the works for a few months, now.

[kingofrooks]

I'll take that as a 'no', then.

[rapturescreed]

It is a no, that is correct.

[kingofrooks]

[ A low laugh. ]

Alright, then.

I'll contribute to the Auction. [ A pause. ] If that's alright?

[rapturescreed]

Yes, of course. We will take everything you feel like giving. I'm sure the bids will be high for them.

[kingofrooks]

I'll send them to your office when I'm done with them.

[rapturescreed]

Thank you. [Pauses.] I do have another question, for you. If you don't mind.

[kingofrooks]

What is it?

[rapturescreed]

Have you found that with the new arrives in the port, that some are coming from your world, or a similar world as yours?

[kingofrooks]

... I don't think so. Not that I know of, at any rate.

[rapturescreed]

Hm. I have noticed a particular theme with this batch of new arrivals; many of them are from the same world as previous Newcomers.

[kingofrooks]

I think that's a pretty prevalent trend, though.

[rapturescreed]

It isn't, actually. I've been keeping track of Newcomers since I arrived here, and it seems that this time around, there are more from the same world, rather then different ones.

[kingofrooks]

Think the Core's getting tired?

[rapturescreed]

Who knows what the Core thinks, if it does? [Sighs.] It's just an interesting phenomenon.
