"Nous protégeons ceux qui ne peuvent pas se protéger."

We protect those who cannot protect themselves. [ her voice is stronger for the translation that had followed and as she continues talking, allison's tone remains even (though it's not hard to pick up the passion behind it). ]

That's the code I took on back home. The circumstances were completely different, of course, but I've been thinking a lot about it lately. Maybe things here aren't quite as dissimilar as I'd thought. [ there's a pause as she takes in a deep breath. there's a lot of doubts in her mind about everything, but she doesn't want any of them to be heard. ]

I know it might be too soon to start talking about some kind of official protective force - we're still in the process of deciding on a code, or a council, or something else entirely - but.

But even if it's unofficial, I want to do something. I don't know if it will help, but a lot happened this past month and I just want to make sure that no one feels unsafe or scared again.

If you're interested, come talk to me. Even if it's for something as simple as maybe learning to protect yourself in a bad situation.

Well at any rate, you can count me in. I have a lot less training that most, probably, but I've got plenty of experience, not to mention probably the most exotic mix of powers of the entire population.

If I can help, let me know?

That's ok. We can work on helping whoever's interested balance those two things out. Plus your experience and powers could come pretty handy.

Actually, even if this just ends up being more organized training sessions for now, would you be interested in contributing?

Of course. It wouldn't hurt to get the attention of some seasoned fighters, but by all means, count me in.

[ Because Ella needs to fill every single second of her life with things or else. ]

Plus nobody says it can begin as something and change as we go, right?

If we're doing this, I want all kinds of people involved. Not just the ones who can fight good.

[ and knowing ella's skills already means that allison can think of ways she'd be useful ]

Right. An idea has to start somewhere.

Same. We're a diverse group after all. We better start making it a strength.

So, just going off the training idea — when you make something, how animate can it be, if at all?

[ Oh that topic. ]

I can't create life. I once made a bunny...and it was all there, but there was no soul, I guess.

[ Ella sinks a bit on her seat. ]

I mean, it wasn't a cold murderer bunny or something. Just a pile of bones and flesh that's pretty dead.

But mechanic stuff is another story. Depends on your notion of animated.
