Hello, my name is Jacob Kane. [ It looks like Cain is in a kedanese shop somewhere. He waves for the camera, makes sure not to jostle the cup he has by his elbow. ] What I'm going to say is specifically meant for the foreigner population of Keeliai, but in the interest of transparency I'm bringing this up on the public network. There's no point in the suggestion at all if we do anything in secret. That said...

We need some sort of system. No, I'm not talking about government or laws or enforcement thereof, but any type of accountability we can agree to. With the current state of things, it's just not feasible for us to keep acting as individuals — whether or not we have anything aside from our status as non-natives in common, we are a group all on our own and I honestly believe we'd all benefit from having something put into place that would keep us from imploding and possibly taking innocents with us in the crossfire.

Now, at this point, all I really ask is that we discuss it. Ideas, suggestions, thoughts and feelings on the matter. Just to collate how we feel as a whole before maybe organizing a meeting in person to go over finer details. Even if you haven't been here long, or don't believe in the idea of a system, I would like to hear why so we can try to address any issues.

If nothing else, we'll all learn something from the exercise, right?

[Largely speculation, quite more assumption than that, honestly, but Enjolras has always been fantastic at the latter when the mood strikes him, and while he does not WANT for this to fail, he's simply seen too many attempts at things coming and going through his life to throw himself into it as wholeheartedly as he might have three years ago. Still, he is allowing for a smile now, the hint of one, at least, usually as much as he gives these days.

If this were Paris, if the people here were similar, then perhaps...

But maybe that's why it could work. He can reason a meeting or two, anyway, and a wasted few hours isn't awful compared to what could come about.]

If this should work, it would serve all of us well. Fair enough.
