[He's using voice for this post, despite it being annoying, because geez people. All this concern and being nice and stuff. It's distracting, And he has something to suggest that deserves the attention much more.]

It seems several here are beginning to develop the new abilities we have been granted while here. However, in order to practice some, such as healing, a target subject is needed.

Coordinating individuals to practice together may be a worthwhile course of action. In particular, regarding those of you in Heimdall who have been given the power to absorb damage from others, it may be wise for us to practice on each other. Doing so on someone with the same abilities may allow us to learn faster.

[She's right. Nakama's been naive. Just because she's met nice people, that doesn't erase all the threats she's heard over the network. It's scary, but...]

Then we should start working on this right away. Every power is gonna be important if there's going to be a... [No, she won't say it.] ... if there are gonna be fights.

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Training's the only way to go. Better to be able to contain and control our... ( ) powers than get a nasty surprise at the worst possible moment.

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

I've never really... trained before. Have you?

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Plenty of military experience.

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

Wow, military? Really? [Audibly impressed.] I've never fought, like, face to face before. So I'll have to learn a lot.

[Sounding a bit ashamed. She doesn't want to hold anyone up.]

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

Really. ( ) You shouldn't have to worry about fighting. It's not the only way to be useful, and I get the feeling that's what Thor is here for.

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We're like... a helper house. [It fits with what she's noticed about her fellow housemates, after all.] Um, what house are you from?

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

Thor. We've got warriors, soldiers, ninjas. Looks like the gods really checked out credentials.

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

So there are sort of - themes to the houses. I wondered, but since I've mostly met people from my house, it was hard to say.

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

Seems that way. So— how is helpful defined in your house?

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

Well... when I first got here, I was kinda sick, so everyone asked if I was okay and offered to make me food. A friend gave me her cloak and told me to keep it, even though it's so snowy outside. Someone helped me out with that weird talking snowman outside even though I didn't ask for it. It's just - a general thing, if something's wrong, someone'll step up and offer to help you no matter what. And they want to help you before you help them.

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a good house to be in.

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

It's nice. I like it. [Thoughtful for a moment.] Everyone puts everyone else before themselves, though, so... I don't know, that seems like it could be dangerous sometimes.

[Lack of self-understanding is go, since that's her in a nutshell.]

What about your house, what's it like?

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, yeah. Good thing you've got Thor to back you guys up.

( ) It's all honour and duty and people thinking with their fists, I imagine. Maybe we're all supposed to be brothers in arms, but I don't know how well that can hold up when we're been brought in from all over. Everyone fights for something different.

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

That sounds lonely. [A bit sad.] Honour and duty are important, but... so are friends.

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

Can't say I turned up with any of those. How about you? Anyone you know from home here?

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

No. Not yet. But a lot of them have important stuff to do back home, so... I don't mind.

[She'd like to save their lives, but not at the expense of their planet.]

And I've made new friends here, so it's okay.

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

That's good. Makes the whole settling-in process easier.

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

What about you? Have you made new friends?

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

Friends. Acquaintances. Sure.

One of them is even an alien.

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

An al -

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

- oh, do you mean one of the trolls?

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah, one of the trolls. Run across many?

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

I met two, and they were both pretty nice. Aradia and... I don't remember the other one's name. [That's because she never got it.] I've seen a lot of people using coloured text like Aradia did, though, so I think there might be a lot of them here.

[waytoserve.livejournal.com]

Aradia's a good kid. She said a few of her friends were around.
