USER: #A5211F - Defense Force

[swordfucker]

(COLOR)

Any of you who were able to go to the town meeting organized by Mitsuru will know that we discussed a designated defense force for the town. For those of you who weren't, or for anyone who wants a recap, I'll go over this as briefly as I can.

We know the forest is full of creatures not everyone understands, and that those dangers— or something similar— can leak into the town and cause trouble here, too. Those shadows were a perfect example, just like the speaking furniture. We're not always safe, and while there isn't always a threat that we can deal with physically to overcome it, having a defense force would make a lot of people more comfortable. Having people that are physically capable with someone at the top to organize them would be helpful to everyone, I think, especially those who aren't so combat ready.

So, I'm stepping up as leader. I didn't hear any opposition to that at the meeting itself, but if you want to know more about me, you can ask me whatever you want. Here's what I'm going to ask of all of you.

If you're interested in helping and capable in combat, no matter what methods you may use, then I'm asking you to sign up here. I'll keep a list of everyone, including their abilities and strengths/weaknesses, and organize this in a way that's most efficient. In order to do that, I also need suggestions.

Izuku mentioned patrols near the forest. That's one idea, and I want to hear any others that are out there, but here's the basic rundown:

I'll organize people by their strengths and put them in charge of certain activities or areas. How I do this depends on the number of people that sign up. If enough people sign up, I might assign ranks just enough for people to be able to report to someone even if I'm unable to be contacted or out of reach somehow. Once everyone who has wanted to has signed up, we'll schedule meetings and discuss what to do in case of an emergency, or other situations. Basic things like that are what I'm looking into, and most of it will come after I've heard from all of you, but let me know if you have any questions on any of it.

Before I end this, I have another quick question. What do you think our biggest weakness has been in all of this? What has caused the most harm, and if there was a drug that could aid you in this place, what would it be? A first aid or pain reducer? Strength enhancers? Magic resistance?

That's all. I'll answer any questions at any time as soon as I can.

(ooc: Gosh this got so long, but okay!! Like discussed at the town hall meeting, here's defense force sign ups and discussion!! This is just another great opportunity for CR and branching out thanks to IC discussion from characters (and thanks, Mitsuru, for bringing it up!), so feel free to suggest any and all things! Also, if your character wants to sign up but you don't want to tag this, just let me know oocly! You can hit me up oocly, too, if you have any questions or concerns with anything. PM me, or my plurk is zeloser!

edit: just a minor edit, but sorry I'm slow! I meant to boomerang after work but I'll have to wake for my weekend mid/late saturday and on. I'll also throw up an ooc post/discussion thing for this at some point!)

Because we're literate and value communication. You always write so little, can you really get your thoughts across like that?

Are you in, or not?

[worlds]

[...

There's a long pause on his end, namely because he actually has to read what Guren wrote now?? And because SOME of us here aren't that literate, it, uh, sure takes a while.]

fine

[swordfucker]

Thanks. I do appreciate it.

[worlds]

i'm not doing it for you

[swordfucker]

That doesn't mean I can't be appreciative.

[worlds]

[stop being weird!!]

it's for my own sake

[swordfucker]

[no]

It should be.

[worlds]

wasn't expecting that from you

[swordfucker]

Why not?

[worlds]

you seem overly invested in other people

[swordfucker]

Maybe I am. But a decision like this is too important. It has to be made for yourself and no one else.

[worlds]

don't need to tell me that. not all of us are hero types

[swordfucker]

I'll contact you if we set up meetings or patrol groups. Do you want to give me your name yet? It would make setting people up a lot easier.

[worlds]

[uggggggggh.]

ouni. no promise on working with others

[swordfucker]

Ouni. Let me make one thing clear, first. The entire purpose of this group is to work with others for the safety of this group as a whole. If you don't intend to cooperate with that much, then this isn't the right place for you.

This isn't like sparring and teaching partners. I'm not going to put others lives in danger by giving them someone in the team that they can't rely on. You understand?

[worlds]

i'll do what i can to keep people alive

[It's in his own best interest to do so, at least.]

if anyone gives a stupid order is another story

[swordfucker]

If someone tries to give you orders that you don't agree with, report back to me and I can take care of it. If I'm the one whose orders you don't agree with, then you can leave at that point.

Until then, as long as you're trying to keep everyone alive, then we have the same goals.

[worlds]

[can't he just punch them. :/]

if it's as simple as that, i can work with that

[swordfucker]

[No because if Guren has to break up a fight he will absolutely kick both of them?? Behave!!]

Good. I'll message you once everyone has had a chance to sign up and I've sorted it out.

[worlds]

[what's behaving, can you eat it.]
