Momo, Cellinia, and Ace! I know all of them. If they're all willing to help, I'm sure it will go well.
( not that she'd have any doubt if anyone else was involved, but if she doesn't praise her friends and the people she has met, what's the point? )
I have a few friends who I'm sure would be happy to help the cause too. The more eyes we have everywhere the better, right? And if there's something else happening in Karteria... Some kind of inner disagreement, it would be good to have a little spy among us too. Someone who is our friend, but to some locals they might act like they disagree with Patho-Gen and the Augmented. That way, we would be able to have ears and eyes within circles who don't like us. Not a bad idea, is it?
I'm glad we all seem to be moving in common circles. It makes introductions so much smoother.
[ Though, it might be a good idea to find others outside of that circle. People who will bring up essential points to challenge what they're doing, to keep them on track. Case in point, about spies...
Here she goes again, falling back into those patterns: looking at things like a chessboard, considering manipulations and changes. ]
I think it's a worthwhile endeavor. We should know how people feel about things, let their opinions challenge us to do better.
Do you have someone in mind for that kind of role?
( that she does indeed. the first to come to mind is mydeimos, no thanks to his similarities to kalpas. he would have been the perfect candidate, in her mind. sakura too, the sad mercenaries of cocoon. but isn't such a fate so sad?
she thinks of chuuya, such a kind timid boy, but who gives her the feeling that he would be exceptionally good at it. but the hand to which point her friends at a task much too lonely has never truly been hers; perhaps then had been the reason kevin was so good as their leader. )
I can talk to a few of my friends, but I can't guarantee they will want to join. I want the choice to be theirs. Is that okay with you, Mel?
I would be all right with this, so long as it's discreet. If they end up declining, I do not want them to work against us as we provide help to the people of the city. Beyond that, it doesn't trouble me at all.
[ People can have their opinions and they can actively argue against them. But actively sabotaging attempts to actually support people in finding better lives and futures would cross the line for her. ]
I believe we are in a situation that is difficult for everyone. And some people may wish to take advantage of that in one manner or another. There may come a time when people believe they should choose to protect the Augmented over the citizens of this city, or the people of this world.
