[Erik cares little for the voting process or who was chosen to lead. What he does care about is how that decision will effect him. The environment. The natives, people who he feels an odd and detached sort of likeness to. He understands all too well what it’s like to be crowded into a small space and forced to live in fear for being ‘different’.]

Congratulations to our new leader.
I’m sure he’ll treat everyone fairly and equally.

I understand the need to feel separate from this world but there can’t be an us and them, the natives. It’s us and them, the monsters who feed on sound.

Many of us have abilities. Powers that are useful. There are natives that do as well. If we band together, we can keep ourselves safe. All of us.

I’m compiling all the information gathered here and there will be three different sections. Public, private, and what you can help with rather than abilities.

Do not respond to this post if you do not have anything useful to add. If you do not want to take the risk of others in the community knowing your skills, don't add them or make them private.

[ Meet Akira: a guy who might sometimes mentally overreact on the behalf of other people, while maintaining a calm exterior. ]

In my experience, people usually react badly when honesty is demanded from people who aren't being an open book.

Not to mention, it's usually more about how things are being said.

[ It's about thirty seconds later, he sends another message: ]

I run the healing clinic. I focus on keeping everyone healthy while healing injuries when I can.

On the side, I teach CPR while my friend who works there teaches first aid.

[ That's not everything he does... only things that the knowledge of could possibly benefit this guy in some way. ]

I'll tell you something about myself.
I don't care what you or anyone else thinks of me.
It may seem cold but I'm not here to make friends.
We can train and work together to survive or we don't.

So if a child dies from an injury that you weren't there to heal, should you be blamed?
I'll do what I can for those that come to me.
That's all I can do.

Aye aye, captain.

[ The dryness isn't even anything personal. This is just... how he is. ]

I'm not sure where the problem is coming from.
All I said was that it's impossible to do it all by yourself, all hours of the day.
My point was, from the start, that we should work together, and I have plenty of people who voluntarily decided to work alongside me.

Then again, maybe I'd have even more people with me if I'd used such a tactful approach.

You get enough attention from the clinic already you don't need this on top of that

[ ... guess who's not seeing this until after he responded to Erik. Sigh... ]

Ah...
Yeah. You're right.
I'll tone it down.

[ You're a good man, Micro, for reigning in the sassy teen. ]
