For a group of individuals claiming to possess such a wonderful variety of talents and skills, you all seem incapable of anything but running around like a nattering clutch of sheep.

These random broadcasts of distress onto the network are disorganized. They're also worthless, unless specifically the right person happens to see your post. A single compilation of these complaints, easily referenced and comparable, would be much more useful in detecting patterns. Further, if there are individuals in specific crises -- for instance, a severe lack of food -- arrangements can be made to match them with those able and willing to ease their distress, in an attempt to discourage rioting.

[And now, a heavy sigh: he cannot believe he is doing this, setting himself out as a stalking goat, but someone has to. Well, if he were crasser, he could make a comparison to the Admirality and the direction excrement flows in any bureaucracy.]

I volunteer myself to organize and compare such a database, if anyone would like to register a complaint or request.

You know what's even more worthless and pointless? Complaining about people complaining.

[Sadie rolls her eyes. Sorry, Norrington, but this is one British-American teenager who is Not Amused.]

Re: [video]

[mopirates_moproblems]

A practice, I see, that you are well equipped for.

[video]

[eye_of_isis]

I'm not complaining. I'm just pointing out your complete and utter failure of attempting to be better or whatever than everyone else on this stupid island-turtle because I'm bored and you were asking for it.

Re: [video]

[mopirates_moproblems]

I am volunteering my time and, frankly, my patience, for a viable solution. I apologize if such practicality is annoying for you.

[eye_of_isis]

All I heard was someone complaining about people complaining and attempting to get a complaint's division set up which as we all know is complete and utter rubbish. From what I've seen, SOS'es and "help me" messages seem to work pretty well here without all that extra boring stuff.

Re: [video]

[mopirates_moproblems]

And you've got quite a lot of experience coordinating rescue efforts, I'd imagine.

[video]

[eye_of_isis]

More than most people, I imagine.

[Just not the sort you're thinking of probably.]

[video]

[mopirates_moproblems]

Forgive me if I remain unconvinced.

[video]

[eye_of_isis]

Because I'm thirteen?

Re: [video]

[mopirates_moproblems]

Among other reasons, yes.

[video]

[eye_of_isis]

If this is because I'm a girl I swear to God...

[She rolls her eyes]

This may come as a shock to you, but age has nothing to do with whether or not you can save people. Especially not when it is literally your destiny.

[mopirates_moproblems]

[Excuse you. He was once engaged to the pirate king. Sort of. Not really. It's complicated.]

Believe me, it has very little to do with your being female.

[And almost everything to do with you being a teenager.]

[cravats]

Not at all a bad idea, Admiral. Do you think you'll require any assistance?

Re: video;

[mopirates_moproblems]

I may need someone on the night shift, at that.

Are you, ah -- have you experienced much difficulty with the adjustment?

[cravats]

I feel as thought I have the most dreadful cold. I can hardly smell a thing.

[And his eyes are a vivid yellow and his fangs seem more than usually pronounced, too.]

Re: video;

[mopirates_moproblems]

I'm sorry. I imagine that must be unpleasant.

[cravats]

I shall manage. It's less pleasant in larger doses than in small ones, but I am used to giving up my gifts for a short time.

[He shrugs.]

Though being stuck partially between is... ah, unusual.

Re: video;

[mopirates_moproblems]

Yes, I imagine so.

[Once again with being entirely unable to anything. What does one say to a werewolf when he says that?]

video;

[cravats]

But in any case, I suppose others are much more unfortunately afflicted. We should focus on them, since ultimately I am having no difficulty adjusting.

Re: video;

[mopirates_moproblems]

If that changes, please let me know.

video;

[cravats]

That's very kind of you, Admiral. [Considering the fact that Norrington acts like he has fleas anytime he behaves slightly more werewolfly.]

Re: video;

[mopirates_moproblems]

[Wow, he's adjusting. This is a period of adjustment. You can't just ask people why they're not werewolves, Randolph.]

Very good.

video;

[cravats]

[Well, he's been very tolerant of Norrington's adjustment period.]

So I shall monitor the console network at night, then?

Re: video;

[mopirates_moproblems]

[And see, James is taking strides to grow as a person. He should get an award.]

I would appreciate your help immensely.

video;

[cravats]

[Oh, Lyall could give him an award, all right.]

It will be my pleasure to assist.

Re: video;

[mopirates_moproblems]

[Goodness. What kind of award are you implying, Mr. Lyall?]

Thank you, then.

[wintershepherd]

That sounds like a good idea but... most people don't want to give up that kind of information. A lot of times, it's personal.

Re: voice;

[mopirates_moproblems]

Quite the contrary, they seem to be vomiting all over the network.

Re: voice;

[wintershepherd]

... fair point, but still.

Re: voice;

[mopirates_moproblems]

The point is, we would do better if those complaints were consolidated.

[chiot]

Oooh, now you're bein' a proper captain.

[mopirates_moproblems]

I'm an admiral, Gavroche.

[chiot]

M'sorry, I was distracted by the fancy hat.

[mopirates_moproblems]

I despair of you.

voice;

[demon_brat]

You do not know much about people with additional powers and abilities, do you.

[Not even a question, more a remark.]

Sorry for the incredible failure.

[mopirates_moproblems]

I beg your pardon.

Shhh I have done worse. I'm glad things are resolved now! Also apologies for Damian...

[demon_brat]

People who have had a chance to observe those with powers and abilities would know better than making such an ignorant statement. They do not like to freely share what they can do more because people have been afraid - and worse - at them because of it before.

lmfao he's fine. james is getting used to impudent children telling him a thing.

[mopirates_moproblems]

Then why are they on the network bemoaning their fates?

Bawww.

[demon_brat]

Because they have allies and this is the most efficient way to inform them all of what their status is?

Re: Bawww.

[mopirates_moproblems]

By your own admission, they are supposed to be secretive. You can't have it both ways.

[demon_brat]

[Eyebrow. Up.]

Secrets born out of fear. They would not willingly share what sets them apart, but it's no longer working, so people have no reason to threaten them because of it.

[... and they are more afraid of being without their powers. But he doesn't actually say that part.]

[mopirates_moproblems]

Then if they're already sharing, why would they object to assistance?

[This logic is absolutely baffling.]

[demon_brat]

Pride?

[mopirates_moproblems]

[Finally, something he can understand.]

I see.

[demon_brat]

[Oh, good, he won't have to explain how 'fear' and 'pride' do work together.]

That is a relief.

I think you will be able to predict better the reactions of metahumans after you have had time to observe them. Possibly learn some of the context. That aspect --

[of people]

-- is less difficult to predict, most of the time.
