[ Clearly we need a new Japanifornia. ]

Perhaps you could start with creating a law firm. Or proposing laws, if you're familiar. They're bound to need improvements and your specific level of expertise could make things easier for any other arrivals. Not to mention, ourselves, with our own mixture of laws. Something universal that we can all abide by.

[objectionattorney]

[Obviously. What is a world without Japamerica?

Not a good one obviously.]

Ah yes, if only it were that easy. I’d be a refugee, and one who’s new and barely knows anything about the laws and political processes behind them. It would take me ages to study everything up from scratch in a new land that I’m sure has cultural differences that far exceeds the world I’m from.

[That is, if those VRChambers he experienced earlier had anything to say about it.]

And I could only imagine the push back I’d get as some attorney from another land coming in to ‘fix’ their court system.

[He sighed and lowered his head with that.]

No. If anything I’m probably best off taking the hard road and finding a side job to hold me over while I try to adjust to this new country.

Even if I have no idea what it is I’m going to do exactly.

[Should he take up art again? If anything he can always go back to professional gambling. That’s a legit way to earn an income.]

[axiomed]

[ Charles frowns, worried. The man's thoughts were clearly quite frustrated in the position he's in. ]

Even so, I still think we — us immigrants — could use someone willing to fight for us, especially in a strange place. We can't bulldoze our way through. While I'm sure you have skills to at least help us reach a better accord.

[objectionattorney]

Ah, that’s a fairly reassuring thought.

[Phoenix’s expression seemed to have softened a little. His stress over the thought seeming to dissipate as he listened to Charles’s words.

Yes, it would take time, and a lot of trial and error, but it wasn’t his first time being thrown into an entirely new legal system now was it?]

A representative for the people who immigrated here. It seems doable. Although it would still require some time and research. I can also start off with a bit of a learning curve.

[Right then! He was most definitely feeling less anxious about starting his life in this new world! First thing he had to do was gain some starter revenue, get some office space and then he would be good to go!]

All right then Charles.

[He extended his hand out to the other man, his eyes sparkling with a new found enthusiasm at the prospect of launching into this new world.]

Hope you don’t mind guiding me through this. It’s my first time teleporting after all.

It isn’t anything like flying is it?

[axiomed]

[ Charles takes it warmly. He's relieved to notice the stressful edge slowly coming off. ]

It is nothing like flying.

[objectionattorney]

Ah. That’s a relief.

[Phoenix sighed out, the reassurance definitely seeming to make him feel a little better. Of course with it came the awkward blush which formed almost naturally upon taking someone’s hand.

So this was mandatory huh? How oddly intimate. But he could imagine it helped make a good conversation starter between all those new to El Nysa.

Perhaps Dharma intended that on purpose?]

Always been a little uncomfortable with flying.

Well, heights mainly.

Although being in the station has surprisingly not bothered me too much.

[Well, save for how surreal the entire concept of being in a space station actually was.]

[axiomed]

Mmm. I've flown a few times.

[ He had a private jet after all. ]

It gets easier, the more often you try it.

[objectionattorney]

You say that--

[But, well, traumas induced through experience are a hard thing to rid yourself of. He still couldn't think of being more than two stories off the ground without the familiar sensation of falling overcoming him.]

All your times flying were probably quite successful.

[Now now Phoenix, just concentrate on stepping on the platform. No reason to dwell on a fear of something that's not even going to happen at the moment.]
