Timo was standing at the corner waiting for the speech Mishka was about to give.

Only to be dissappointed by Mishka... and wondering why he brought the crowd togheter when he is still to nervous to speak to them.

Yeah but the original reason I brought everyone out was to share my perspective on things, Sovereign.  But I will eventually I promise I just need a little time bear with me please.

Sovereign gets out his pocket watch, which is ticking merrily. 

Oh fine, I'll wait.

Visas had only seen the light once that had been in Duplicity's bedchamber's ( Though that is for another time this story is about Mishka's view of the state this thing of ours is in ) Visas stood close to Mishka to help him with moral support.

Its ok Mishka take a deep breath we know you can do it.

Do it now or don't, you're only embarrassing yourself with this plea for attention, as babo put it. 

The only way "acts like this" may dissuade people from entering the streets is if they've overheard some of the comments yourself and others have said. A guy comes out into the streets for the first time and instead of giving some support, people feel the need to criticise what is said and attempt to put him down publicly.

Rusty shakes his head.

Mishka has shown a lot of class by keeping it polite and respectful despite the approach others have taken toward him. I'm a little confused why those who felt this was actually a cry for attention continued to give him attention, surely it's best to just ignore?

Rusty shrugs.

This might have been his first ''speech'', Rusty, but he had enough street smarts to comment on WhereWasI's bloodline and their street-speaking abilities. Not exactly a virgin to the streets, eh?
 

This was his first time coming out to make an attempt at starting his own discussion. However, understandably he got a little nervous, I can't recall my first time out here but I'm sure I would have felt the same.

You can continue to make excuses for the guy, but fact is that he didn't actually start a discussion. Instead he got nervous and kept talking about how he was going to make a speech eventually. Damn right I'm going to chastise his ass.

Hence why new timers will feel a little reluctant to come out if they are a little nervous, especially when people feel the need to take that approach.

It is simply stupid.

How can you talk about his ass? When Dat Ass of mine is here basking in full glory.

Visas runs her hands over Dat Ass

Sovereign notices his grievous mistake and tries to touch Dat Ass but faints from excitement.

I have heard tons and tons of these stories of many mighty men coward down from the power of DAT Ass. Must be a real powerful tool to have Visas.
