As you may know, Mr. Wayne recently brought the idea of a foreigner-lead council up again. This was something I was working on before my untimely disappearance, and I agree that it is a good time to try again. I am in full support of this idea, and the current proposal was one representative from each sector if we get enough volunteers.

I understand some of you have concerns with the idea of a council, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Now more than ever I think it's important that we are adequately represented.

...As well, it has come to my attention that certain events have recently transpired involving my brother. Noatak - or Amon, if you know him by that name.

As some of you were not present for my last warning on the subject: I strongly advise anyone to refrain from getting involved in his affairs. He is extremely dangerous, no matter how he acts. As I said, I am his brother, and I am certain I know him better than anyone else here. He is a bloodbender and he will not hesitate to destroy you if you get in his way, no matter who you are.

I can't stop anyone from getting involved with him, but please use caution.

[Private to Noatak]

I'm sorry, but I believe this is for your own good.

If we fail, it was my idea, so the failure rests on my shoulders. [And so does the success.]

Regardless, I am not afraid of her.

[dominare]

A good stance to take; I'm very much of the same mind.

[ on Tarrlok being the fall guy or the fact they shouldn't be afraid of her?? the world will never know. ]

I suppose you and Mr. Wayne will be its first members?

[disfavored]

For candidacy, perhaps, but we can't elect ourselves. [If Tarrlok could elect himself he'd have done it already.]

[dominare]

Of course, the public would be the ones to elect their representatives.

[ the disapproval creeps into his voice ]

The idea is fair in practice, but principal and practice are two very different beasts.

[disfavored]

What improvements would you propose? I am aware that the system has flaws, but I think it has more benefits than dictating leadership by lineage alone. [Mostly because his lineage is really terrible.]

[dominare]

You put far too much faith in me; I am no politician, and my opinion is based only what what I've seen at home.

[ hah, yeah right ]

But perhaps the public should elect candidates from a select pool, to limit the possibility that popularity should alone dictate who represents us all.

[disfavored]

Not a bad idea - but who would decide who belongs in that select pool?

[dominare]

Mr. Wayne, you, and anyone you knew to be of a reliable and impartial nature.
