[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5773443, member: 6673727"] Milo smiles his broad smile. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise] "Sounds like a damn smart man to me."[/COLOR] Milo waves off Fury's apology, clearly not in need of it. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise] "I've arranged a meeting with some of the White Cloaks high-ups. Truth be told, I'm not sure who exactly is going to be representing them. I've gotten to know Commander Galen Parsons over the years in my efforts to make the Planks a safer place, even though Ranocchio isn't under his direct purview; he's the one who helped get me this meeting, so I imagine he'll be there, but I know little beyond that. Hopefully it'll be a decent showing: the more, the better, for our purposes." "As to what I intend to accomplish..."[/COLOR] Milo pauses for a moment, frowning. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"Well, I'm not exactly sure. At this point, just getting someone with a title before their name to listen to me is in itself an accomplishment. The White Cloaks have all but written off the Planks - as I'm sure you know - so my hope is to convince them that there's something worth putting the effort into to save, that there [I]are[/I] people here like you and myself who just want to live peaceably, to make a life for themselves and their families, that we are in fact the majority. I get the sense every time I talk to an outsider that they think the Planks is filled with nothing but bravos and prostitutes..."[/COLOR] Milo stops himself here, though it's clear that he could go a lot further down this line of thinking. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise] "As for what you can do - you mean, besides getting me there without an interlude in the dirt once again?"[/COLOR] He chuckles. [COLOR=MediumTurquoise] "Well, you're from here - you know what it's like, and you've taken a different path than the aforementioned bravos and nightwomen. You're an example of what kind of people can come from the Planks: strong-willed, honest, willing to work to better themselves, and willing to help others along. Maybe seeing such an example is all it will take to force the White Cloaks to take us more seriously. To take [I]Ranocchio[/I] more seriously."[/COLOR] Milo pauses once again, before saying, [COLOR=MediumTurquoise]"You'd said you had some experience working with the commander of the Planks here - what was your impression of him? How well did you get to know him? That relationship might come in handy."[/COLOR] [sblock=OOC]Although I'd done a bit of research into Fury's exploits before writing this little adventure, I'd missed his meeting with the Planks commander - :blush: - so any info on him would be helpful, not to mention greatly appreciated.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
