Thanks for the coffee, dearest.  Khab, well said.  We must remain unfettered by the concerns of partisan politics, and nonpartisan as well, if such a thing exists, after all.

I am doing well, Oz.  Thank you for asking.  How are you?

Good luck with the Help Desk, Allama and Khab, I hope you will make it a most useful tool for any new member in need for direction or looking to try the temperature before jumping in the water. *puts a bottle of champagne on the counter*

My thanks, oh Mighty Leader Gunner, sir.  We shall ever strive to uphold the dignity of this office and make it a beacon for the helpless, the curious, and the confuzzled.  Donations of coffee not required (although eagerly accepted, of course).  

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, line forms to the left, free cookies on the right, and free bumper stickers saying "I got my question answered at the CO!" are by the door.

Ah, a question!  Now, after giving due consideration, I have concluded that Soly does not, in fact, look like the Bank of Taijitu, which is large and fat and grossly ornate, while Soly is sleek and somewhat furry, and not particularly ornate.  Although, of course, he IS the Minister of Finance, and gets the comfortable chair and all.

Excellent. And now if you'll excuse me, I'll curl up in that chair and wait for somebody to pet me. Or clients.

((One must show proper respect for Soly's office, of course, and so Khab scritches behind his ears.  Besides, who could resist an opportunity like that?))

Next he'll start wanting us to put out a bowl of cream before we head out for the night.

Here, Mama Khab, I brought a new coffeemaker.  How's the weather, by the way?  I would ask if you wanted to go out and get some coffee, but I suppose that would be redundant.
"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Coffee, yay!  Aren't you sweet.  Far be from -me- to ever suggest such thing... aaaaalright, who just giggled at that!  Here, have a cookie.  Have another. 

The weather is fine, but then it's always sunny in the CO, thanks to our heavy-duty halogen bulbs.  Help keeps us awake just in case someone pops in.  We're open all night, you know.  Our neighbor, the Minister of Finance, hasn't complained about the glaring light yet, but then he's part cat of course, so he's used to napping in brightly lit spaces.

But of course cookies.  A whole table full.  How else do you think we sucker convince people to come see us?

Aaaand since you asked about the weather, that qualifies you for one of our lovely bumper stickers that say "I got my question answered at the CO!"  We're thinking about adding baseball caps for those who've asked five or more.

*clears throat*  I have a question.

I'm doing an ambassadorial report on Taijitu for Equilism, and we'd like to know: what are some important historical events in Taijitu's history?  Also, do you have a document or documents detailing your alliances with other regions, or is there just the list of embassies?

Oh, and I brought coffee.  *offers tray*  Caramel macchiato, gourmet French roast, iced white mocha, or pumpkin spice, anyone?

Pumpkin spice?  You really are a dear, aren't you?  ;D

I'll start my research straight away and get back to you as soon as I can.  In the meantime, please enjoy the complimentary champagne and cookies.
