Last push

[abugslife]

There is not much time left before the Grand Vote. Soon, the course the whole Gebian race will take will be decided. The PEP is almost certain of this victory. But we want to make this probability a hundred percent.

ESUN is working on an exhibition, of art, science and culture, both high and low. Several members of the High Council will come to see this exhibition. Some of them have lent their support for the Pro-Earthling Party already, others are hesitating.

What I ask of you are ideas. If you can think of something that should be a part of the exhibition, let me know. It does not have to be high art, it does not have to be a glorious invention - if you think it showcases the civilization of Earth in any way, then it belongs.

You had to put up with a lot during the previous visits. But now, you have a chance to show why you think Earth is great, in your own way. If you want to pursue this chance, tell me your idea. Let us forge peace together.

[Izuru approaches with a stack of books in his hands and this face.]

[abugslife]

Are all of those about superheroes?

[herodrawing]

Yes! How did you know?

[abugslife]

If I said that I possess the uncanny ability to read the mind of Earthlings whom I know well enough, would you believe me?

[herodrawing]

No.

[abugslife]

You are slowly learning. Good.

[herodrawing]

You can't read my mind, then you'd know all my secrets!

So... how many of those are you going to show?

[abugslife]

The ones I deem fitting for the exhibition. Likely, all, considering its nature.

[herodrawing]

Alright! The Pro-Earthling guys will win now, for sure.

[Hours later, Heph, you'll receive a message. It's... what seems to be a fairly comprehensive list of artistic and literary trends and considered-seminal works inside said trends from several geographical areas, arranged in chronological order for a comprehensive view of evolving human culture. This definitely should help with locating and choosing pieces for the exhibition.

The message is not signed, as if whoever wrote it didn't care or just was glad to finish the rather huge message. But, well... how many people in Unity Group would actually follow proper Oxford citation rules when listing written works, do you think?]

[abugslife]

[Hetepheres reads the list carefully.]

Considering her circumstances, being able to write this in such a short period of time was quite a feat.

[majestic_keiki]

What about showing them our cooking? It's a way of including art even in basic necessities.

[abugslife]

A great idea. Your tastes in food were always examplary; what meals do you suggest?

[majestic_keiki]

I was thinking of baking a cake. Or maybe I'll try a custard dessert like panacotta.

[abugslife]

Your own, in other words.

You must be aware that the visitors will most likely want to try them out. Make sure there is enough for everyone.

[majestic_keiki]

I will.

[abugslife]

Excellent. I will let you know when the exhibition starts. It would be a shame if you made the cakes too early and they went bad.

[majestic_keiki]

I had expected something like that, who'd hold something like this without giving people advance warning?

[abugslife]

Considering the strangely spontaneous nature of Unity Group, I felt the need to reasure you.

[majestic_keiki]

You have a point.

Blaster has a large collection of Earth based music on hand, both contemporary as well as classical. And there are a great deal of people from differing cultures residing in Autobot city.

I am sure that if given a chance, they would be eager to lend their talents to this exhibition to show the traditions and arts they have brought with them.

[abugslife]

Are you suggesting adding a live orchestra as a part of the exhibition? I did not expect any further live performances from Earthlings, but if you manage to find volunteers...

[tillallareone]

I am. Perhaps one of the best ways to appreciate the art and culture of a species is to see and hear it in action.

Should I find anyone I will send them your way General.

[abugslife]

Excellent. And I will have to talk to the people running the exhibition. It will take place in a museum; usually it is rude to make too much noise in one.

[kill_all_vagans]

Inventions?

I could always show them the AGE System.

[abugslife]

Oh? Are you not afraid of showing the secrets of your weapons to a potential enemy?

[reactorhead_russians]

"You have the Ukrainian Hardhouse." Alexis declares. "You know what to do."

[abugslife]

Indeed. Indeed, I do.
