Good afternoon.
Since our arrival on Thesa Station it's undeniable a lot has taken course. We're now well into a month on the surface proper and I can't say we have much more to say for it. Well, short of several conversations on murder and questions on individual tastes.
Enlightening though I am sure some of those conversations were, there's also some other things we as a group may wish to discuss. Although it became quite a controversy situation in the end, the idea of preparing for any potential characters who would do harm to not only us Refugees but the natives here is something to certainly keep in mind. As we cannot say that we come from a place elsewhere, where these people had control, it's up to us as a group to keep a handle on that.
No, I'm not proposing a hit list of any sort. That's insane. And given the earlier conversations on the matter is only going to end in people up in arms. I don't think any of us here are under any false impressions that someone is going to stay in the pods up there or we're not going to face something more. And what with the recent listings and those observing our skills it might do for us to know what each other are capable of.
If we have a list we can propose groups for when something strikes again; Perhaps another drop from the sky or something such as combat or healing skills that the natives would misunderstand and take too lightly. Just from the past month here, suffice it to say, some of our capabilities include medical knowledge and strength that may not be common at all here.
[Especially in the former, but she's yet to see people who can stop things with their bare hands recently either here.]
Needless to say this is not at all mandated and everyone has their secrets they do not wish to share, but if there's skills you are willing to share with others and possibly be grouped with should the situation arise I believe now is a good time to do it. A name, profession, and known skills (magical or otherwise), and what you feel capable of during high-stress situations will suffice. What level of technology, if any, you are knowledgeable of my also be of use as there are those who may use a bow, but never more than that and vice versa.
Similarly, though no hit list will be made if there is someone asleep, or even awake, you're wary of or a situation you think may come and wish to prepare for. This can be used for civil conversations to discuss matters or propose what may be done.
As for myself, it would be unfair to request anyone to answer without providing information of my own. My name is Porpentina Goldstein, but please address me as Tina. In my own world my profession is that of an Auror. Someone's equated it to a police officer which will have to do for the easiest description of it. But while we captured criminals we were the first to go to fight against undesirables. I came from early 1927 in New York City, for those whom it means anything to.
While I do not keep up with the social conversations on this thing, I do try to keep updated on what is said. Should you need any help I will always do my best.

See, that's the problem with trusting your fellow man. Not everyone is altruistic.
[ but hey, a list like that might be useful. ]
Also, I'm pretty familiar with the United States. Can't say I've ever heard of an "auror".
no subject
It remains better to be prepared than what ifs.
No, I wouldn't suspect you would. I'm from the United States, but my kind live separately from others. I shouldn't be using technology like this if I followed by my own laws.
no subject
[ or just don't trust anything. ]
There might be other ways to prepare youself. A voluntary list is always going to cause problems one way or another. It's like so many other great ideas: amazing in theory, but in practice far more difficult.
[ though, eventually he will likely surrender basic information. questions like these are always as much about finding out what the other person is like than anything else. ]
Your "kind"? And what "kind" is that, exactly?
[

Given that we were immediately meant to trust each other and by large people are willingly giving their information away on these things on a daily basis trust is too loosely an idea here.
A voluntary list also only works if anyone provides information. Which they haven't and I'm not gonna force anyone to tell me any such things. So, as you can see, decent idea or otherwise it only works with corporation and willingness.
[IE the problem is already answered in the fact the people responding do not trust it. But the next response comes a few minutes later:]
I work for MACUSA: Magical Congress of the United States of America. Since the original Aurors came to be we've kept separate from our non-magical counterparts since.
[because you know no-majs almost killed them all.]

[ and World War II for that matter. but he's not about to get into that. instead... ]
Magic. As in, abilities you have that "normal" people don't? Where I come from, we've got some of that too. But it can all usually be explained with science.
[ because look. he can see ghosts. and might be a little psychic. but that is totally scientific. ]
