Is there anything good about the Initiative?

All I've heard about is what they've done to people here, not to mention their bringing us here in the first place. [ She exhales sharply. ] And making us fight for them is horrible when they treat all of us horribly.

As for these weapons... how are they supposed to grow with us? I thought it took a lifetime of training to be able to master something like that, to have a weapon actually grow with you.

They have one sweet swimming pool!

As for the weapons, I know! Isn't the whole idea crazy? Then again, so's time travel and world travel, and we're all part of that now, so maybe it's the one thing this future got right on Earth. Weapons that act like some kind of parasite.

Makes you feel kind of warm and fuzzy inside.

[ Such a lighter, teasing tone; she feels anything but lately. There has to be some up side... right? Yeah. She'll focus on that. ]

[feel_nevermore]

If you find the answer to that, please let me know.

[blondejokes]

I don't think I'd want a weapon that's anything like a parasite. [ So chipper, Collette! ]

But I guess things are different in other worlds.

[Voice]

[blondejokes]

Okay. [ Rndom request. ]

[whatsupcroc]

I hear some parasites are good for the system. Others suck worse than there are words.

Did you train a lot on your world?

... Are you planning on keeping up with training here?

[draconic_historian]

The Initiative is like any other group of humans. It would seem their back is to the wall right now, so they are taking desperate measures. I would be hesitant to judge them too harshly until I know more about them.

But they're not off to a great start.

[blondejokes]

When I wasn't working, I was training. I'm not sure if I can do my training here like I used to. Not without my teammates here with me.

[ And because she came right in the middle of a war on her way to help Naruto with his own battle. ]

[blondejokes]

Not all humans are like this.

[whatsupcroc]

Yes! Someone who knows the words team, teammates, and teamwork!

Hey, those are some pretty good words, and while this place might not have your usual teammates, maybe the people that are here can help you figure out a working training schedule. So you don't get rusty in the meantime.

[blondejokes]

... Do people not know those words here?

[whatsupcroc]

I think they're in the dictionary, but sometimes I wonder about people understanding the application of those words!

[blondejokes]

Huh. That's not good if we have to end up relying on each other in combat.

[whatsupcroc]

I know! Preach it, sister!

[blondejokes]

Maybe you and I should go around giving lessons in teamwork. [ Aww, her first joke in Exsilium. :') ]

[whatsupcroc]

Lead by example, hmm? I don't know... I don't think this island is ready for that level of Girl Power!

[ A pause; then a playful: ]

Bring it.

[onemoredeath]

Do you really think they are bad? I often think that they are like any weaker government trying to do what they can with matter they have little understanding of. They are not so bad as the lot likes to give them credit for, only unsure.

[Voice]

[feel_nevermore]

I meant that regarding your first question. [About the Initiative. You know just in case it wasn't clear for her.]

As for the weapons... Does it matter as long as it work? It's just another example of advanced technology. Like the one that brought us here.

[draconic_historian]

I assume you would have me believe you are motivated only by altruism and love for your fellow man.

Well. They are trying to fix the timeline here! And who knows how that could affect other worlds? I mean that! A little warning would have been nice, but they're very kind when you're polite to them.

Plus they don't force you to fight if you won't or can't, there are other ways to help.

text for now;

[payback]

They've armed us in the first place. We have places to stay and we're not treated so horribly. It could be a lot worse.

Not that that's great, I guess, but still. It could be worse.

[Voice]

[blondejokes]

But how advanced is it? If they can be used to our advantage and know everything about us, what makes us all so certain they won't be used against us at some point? [ It isn't just that she likes being contrary, really. ]

I don't want to be the paranoid one here, but this place really doesn't scream 'safe place' to me.

[blondejokes]

We'll never know until we try. Who knows, maybe it'll inspire the Initiative to start getting their act together.

[blondejokes]

I'm motivated by a desire to make sure the bad guys aren't taking advantage of innocent people.

[blondejokes]

After hearing about what they've done to people here, I think I'm being nice just calling them 'bad'.

Fix what timeline?
