Akaisha appears on the screen, bowing her head slightly before speaking
"So...I don't even know whether you remember me or not, though I certainly remember you."
She smiles curtly to the screen before continuing.
"My name is Akaisha Kusunagi, Captain of The Heavy Metal Queen, a long time ago I promised that I would bring you the finest bottle of Kusari Sake that I could get my hands on, and I have done just that."
She grins playfully to the monitor, pulling a large bottle into view, placing it on the table, her grin even wider now.
"I was not joking when I promised you this bottle and, It was really rather expensive..So I would prefer that it not go to waste... hell, you don't even need to drink it with me. You can simply take the bottle and leave if you wish, though it'd be a shame to drink it all by yourself. Either way, Just...come and get it already."
She smirks slightly before continuing to speak.
"The point of all this is that as luck would have it, I am in Liberty at the time..so, that should make it rather easy for you to find me. I'll be waiting."
She flashes one last playful smile to the monitor as it fades to black
Akaisha appears on the screen, drumming impatiently on the arm of a large black leather chair.
"So...I'm not sure how you Yanki Haku-jin in Liberty handle situations like this...but in Kusari, it is rude to keep a woman waiting, Especially when they have things that need doing. However, I am sure you yourself have many things that need dealing with...but why not just relax and have a drink?"
She grins slyly to the monitor, shrugging slightly and bowing her head as the screen fades to black.
COMM ID: [color=#99FFFF]Fleet Admiral David Hale TARGET ID:Akaisha Kusunagi SUBJECT:Sake? ENCRYPTION:Closed reply - Encryption of medium strength. PRIORITY:Medium
Good evening Miss Kusunagi.
Apologies for the delayed response. I'm working on a fairly busy schedule, and I asked my secretary to only forward emergency communications to me directly. The result is a backlog of truly remarkable proportions.
I do remember you, although as I recall we've only met once and that wasn't exactly in person. Pirate issue, if I remember correctly.
As I'm sure you can appreciate, the rather tight schedule doesn't often allow the time to sit down for a drink with even the closest of friends. Gifts, however, are rare. I will make an assumption that there is some other motive behind you wishing to meet with me. It almost always seems to be the case that the few social engagements I have been able to attend inevitably turn towards business or work.
I'll accept the offer. However you will understand that I am something of a magnet for assassination attempts. This particular Libertonian "white-boy" (yes, I had to get that translated) has to be a careful one.
Akaisha appears on screen, flashing a quick grin and bowing her head curtly before speaking.
"Gomenesai, I apologize for making -you- wait before getting back to you Mister Hale, but turn about is fair-play, right? After all, I do have a reputation to uphold, so I was out of Liberty for a few days.."
She stretches out a bit, yawning softly before continuing to speak.
"Even if we did only meet once, I did promise you a drink, and as a Proud woman of Kusari AND Bretonian blood, I do not take promises lightly. To that end, I'm glad you've accepted my offer and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little bit curious to see what the end result will be, I've never shared drinks with an Admiral before, And I promise, you won't have to worry about work.."
She smirks playfully to the screen before bowing her head again.
"Mm...in any event, I've wasted enough of your time for now, Mister Hale, I'll see you soon.."
