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.

You butting in on other people's affairs, on the other hand, is just the sort of thing that would land yourself in quite a bit of trouble.
Don't forget, we're not natives to this world, nor are many of us from the same planet. It wouldn't be a good idea to start regulating what people can and can't do based solely on your own personal morals.

however, everyone's answer is immediately "I'm going to kill them" without the powers to do so. And you answered yourself right there: This isn't our world.
Killing someone might have worked there, but we still have to play by this world's laws.
Should someone kill another one here, either way, it'll look bad on the rest of us refugees.
As I've said this entire time: I ain't got any control over what you do and this is all volunteery. What, do you expect me to go out and stop anyone I see having a fight?
[she might, but that's a different story.]

I guess I've been underestimating all these lazy chumps.
[And here he assumed he was the only casually tossing death threats at everyone. So much for being original. Would he need to get more creative in his methods maybe?]
Anyway, as interesting as your offer is, isn't it mutually dangerous? Telling everyone to publicly divulge private information about themselves, although valuable, mutually puts them in harms way. What if someone took hold of the list you're collecting and used it for less savory things? Identity theft is quite a serious issue, especially when we're living in a new place where no one has much to prove who they are and what they can truly do.
Then there are just the idiot who could just want to fuck with you and make up bullshit regarding who they are and what they're capable of.
And who's to say this place is secretly not just as dangerous as the worlds we are from as well? That issues that forced us to kill where we were from don't also exist here?
