Randall again. I know there are probably many rather more pressing problems, right now-- such as the machine I hear we've commandeered, Thunder Corp's potential retaliation, the mob, that cult... but there's also apparently been a lot of talk on television and online about how horrible we are and how we're secretly trying to run the country.
[And Lyall can't do a bloody thing about Thunder Corp or the mob or a cult, especially while getting prepped for school to start soon... but he's hoping maybe he can help a little with this.]
I know someone was talking about attempting to make corrections when things got out wrong, like that, but I was thinking that perhaps having more of us to consult might make that easier. As in, I was considering asking for volunteers to go public together. Including myself, of course-- I simply don't think trying to do it alone would be wise. I'd rather not present the idea that I'm an attention-monger, or something.
[Or make himself a sole target.]
There's certainly the question of just how forthcoming to be-- I tend to favor more, rather than less, or people will undoubtedly learn there's more to know, and assume we are hiding even worse. But that would be up to each individual. Either way, I thought I'd pose the question, if anyone here is particularly interested in going public, and trying to equally publically correct some of those rumors. I certainly don't have any power to take over the country with.
[That last comes out dry, because he's hard-pressed to think of anything that "being a werewolf" would do for him, in politics. ... nevermind that he's fairly sure being one automatically gave you rank in whatever England his other fellow comes from. That's not here.]
We've spent a long time in hiding, so I'll understand if I don't have many takers, but I am hoping for a few....

[He's both startled and chagrined that he somehow missed this event. It's rather momentous, after all.]
no subject
[In case it caused a scene, or looked like he was asking for congratulations? Blusters in - ] -- It-it doesn't seem to have done anything -- though...
[And therefore it would have been rightly missable!]
no subject
[He'll have to look up the newspaper articles for that date, or maybe whatever the paper in question posted online... maybe he could find it that way.]
no subject
[And he should've known better than to have half-hoped word that it had made some sort of impact would've come back at all let alone that and somewhat dreaded it, but hey.]
no subject
[He's going to be stubborn about that, Anthony, sorry.]
Has anyone sought you out at all? Or bothered you, since?
no subject
[Mild cough into his sleeve.]
- excuse me, if uh -- anyone's sought me out -- [Oh good heavens could anyone conceivable be trying to do that and how much of a risk would it be, how easy would it be, how vigilant should he be - ] -- I-I haven't found out - but no... - But no -- trouble, so far I - I think.
[Awkward wringing - ] -- wouldn't know if my parents've heard anything -- but. [Either way, everyone directly involved is thus far unharmed.]
no subject
And I have you down for joining us if we do this thing, of course.
no subject
-- I'm sor - I'm sorry, sir, it -- it-it - it isn't going to be problem, is it -- ?

[Flinch into a cough.]
That and -- before I did it. Erm. Peop - people were saying coming forward would be a -- ...stupid idea...
[And in truth it's got him one part wondering if he could have honestly thrown something off, acting out of turn or some such, and another larger if more wisely buried part passively bitter. Nick hadn't opposed it, on the other hand...]
