[ ariadne had been mulling over what she was planning on saying for a bit now, so the moment the feed clicks in, she is looking squarely into it, her expression clearly is anything but happy - she looks outright annoyed to be honest.

a small sigh, a she is speaking into the device then. ] Look. If we don’t start making lists soon, we’re never going to be able to keep an eye out for each other. [ adding almost frustrated. ] We are in no way as organized as we should be.

[ yes she knows they are trying – or at least a handful are. but this is getting to be ridiculous to her. and she would rather prevent things like what just happened from happening again. ]

Is anyone willing to take on a few of these lists? [ her tone almost appears to be hopeful then, as she is adding: ] Maybe a list could have some of the skill sets we as passengers possess? [ she knows you all have them, it is just a matter of finding out what they are. and if you're going to share with the class of course.

again she is letting a small sigh escape her, as she quickly makes a small face at her thoughts. knowing she just needs to move onto her next topic before she loses them. ] I'm also looking to talk with the victims from the previous attack. [ a beat and she is then reassuring ] I'm not about to cause any issues for anyone involved. But I would just like to hear your thoughts on it.

So if you wouldn't mind getting in contact with me, I'd appreciate that a lot.

[Normally, if he has something secret to say, he'll just skip talking over the comm devices and talk in person. However, it seems that she isn't allowing him the luxury, so he takes a while to upload a better security filter before responding.]

Explain your purpose.

[ she had to admit, she was fairly surprised that he even responded. assuming that she was going to have to keep at it for a good while till he finally caved. so when he did, she was quick to respond back, not wanting to waste any time. ]

I know what you did to me. And I understand the reasons for it. Not that I agree with them. But I'd like to understand more if I could?

[the_crowing]

Are lists actually going to do anything? Does having a list make things more organized? [his tone and appearance says he's not being disgruntled or anything, but genuinely curious.]

[video]

[constructum]

[ she gives him a small smile, nodding slightly as she does. ] It tends to. Because as much as we would like to think are memory is amazing, there is no way we can even being to remember what is going on here.

[ unless you have superpowers or something, then she doesn't really know what to say there. ]

Given the recent events, having some form of lists only seems like a good idea in ensuring things don't go to hell, you know?

skills, proficiencies, relevant training.
as well as any metahuman capabilities, subject to the passenger's discretion.

Metahuman capabilities?

voice.

[swagneto]

Lists for what?

[ Given the events of the past few days, it's clear Erik's mind only jumps to one immediate thing, especially with the mention of skill sets, and previous attack victims. So don't be too surprised when his tone is harsh enough. ]

voice.

[constructum]

[ she chooses to ignore the tone, assuming she might face some questioning, she isn't all too surprised by it. ]

A headcount - things people can contribute to the ship - things like that. [ she really sees the benefit in these lists and has no issues talking about them, but she does however see the need for some secrecy, and she respects people enough to quickly add: ] I'm not asking for blood type, just a way to help us be better prepared in case something like this ever happens again.

[ When the feed clicks on, Arthur's looking a little better than he did on the first night in. His tie has been loosed and his sleeves rolled up, the expression on his face equal parts concerned and unsure, his brows lifting in a silent question. ]

You're sure about this? Talking with a hostile projection?

[constructum]

[ admittedly it is a bit more of the arthur she is used to - something slightly more reassuring then it was before. though she understands (or more assumes) it can't be all too easy dealing with any of this. especially after learning he had been her before. it's something she herself still needs to get used to and how to even approach with him.

so the look she seems to give him is that of slight uncertainty as well. as she then takes a moment to really consider his question. knowing she is taking a great risk, but if she doesn't, there is a chance they might miss out on an opportunity they might just need.

tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, she just gives him a small nod, as her expression turns to something more assured by her thoughts. ]

I'd like to know why he did what he did - from him - not from Kirk. [ hearing it from the horses mouth is much more reliable then hearing it from others after all. and she will firmly believe that till the end. ]

I don't think he'd risk harming me again. Too much is at stake I think, don't you? [ she asks, her brow arches in question as she does. knowing she does value his opinion on it. ]

[fly_like_pie]

and if someone were to make a list of "skill sets we as passengers possess"

sharing that info would be completely voluntary
right??

Text.

[constructum]

I would assume so. No one needs to share anything to be honest. But if there is something that might help us in the long run, why not share it right?

[ video ]

[appraysen]

[ trish has to think about it for a few minutes before she decides to reply. she's really done nothing but drink and mope since she got here. right now her head is pounding and well... ]

Um, hi? [ she waves slightly at the screen. ] I'm new here and all but...

[ oh god. head stop pounding. ]

I could help, I guess. I mean if no one else offers. I used to work at a museum, so organization is kind of my thing. One of them at least.

[ video ]

[constructum]

[ she smiled at that, the corners of her eyes crinkling slightly as she did. she had to appreciate anyone willing to help after all. ]

I'm Ariadne. [ nodding slightly as she does. ]

And if we can see just who is willing to help, I think we can take all the help we can get. [ she pauses, her brow arching slightly in curiosity. ]

You are?

[video]

[profligates]

Lists, hm? Where will we be keeping these lists?

[video]

[constructum]

[ oh shit, no one has asked her that before. :/ and she can't help but furrow her brow, taking a moment to just think that over. ]

Well I suppose we can entrust it to someone, who then can distribute it as needed. [ which has her voting for arthur, but she isn't about to just outright say that. ]

You did say you'd be willing to help, didn't you? Do you have any better ideas on how we do it?

[sweetmotherofgod]

Someone who actually wants to talk about what happened to us? Tell me you're not kidding.

video;

[constructum]

Why wouldn't anyone want to address it? [ she honestly is curious about this, as she knows things have been happening, but avoiding the situation isn't going to do anyone any good. ]

[statsraaden]

I would be happy to help making these lists, however it'll depend on how much information people will volunteer.

I've been attacked too.

[constructum]

I will keep that in mind. [ she smiles slightly at that, before her attention is turning away from the screen as she goes to add his name and number to the list of possible volunteers. ]

As far as the attack though, [ her attention moves back onto the screen then, her brow arching slightly in curiosity. ] what are your thoughts on it?

audio;

[alwaysagit]

Lists. [Can you hear the disdain dripping from that word, Ariadne?]

I would be hard-pressed to think of anything more likely to end up as nothing but so much busy-work and perpetually inaccurate as well, considering the transience of the people aboard at any given time.

[Or in other words: Sit down, you silly girl.]

audio;

[constructum]

[ oh. well. uh. ]

Do you agree that we are not as organized as we should be? [ she sounds oddly curious here, as the need to feel him out in a sense is there. she would rather have make sure she can handle this debate after all. ]

audio

[articletwelve]

Lists. Really.

[ Unimpressed? Unimpressed. ]

audio

[constructum]

Yes. Really.

[ annoyed? yes, yes she is. WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND? ]

Unless you have a better option? [ she would love to hear it. ]

video;

[saidhe]

The attack, so late. Why?

video;

[constructum]

We've had a lot go on recently. [ and she has been dealing with a lot, okay. she wasn't going to let it drop though, no matter how late it was. ] The time doesn't really change the fact that it happened, and that we are still allowed to discuss it, don't you agree?

[not here]

[goldshirt]

[Jim, too, was attacked, but he isn't going to speak up. instead, he's going to follow their conversations on the topic because he's wanted to hear this from the beginning, and leave it to Spock to verify which lists the Vulcan already has started.]

[audio]

[saint_kitten]

Oh, I have lists, darling. But I doubt the works of Saint Kitten will be of much use to you.

[audio]

[constructum]

[ oh it's you.

a brief sound in thought, before she goes on to say: ] You never know. What sort of lists do you have?

text;

[puppydogeyes]

You know there are going to be people who don't want to be on any lists at all.
Just making or having them will make them edgy.
Might make things even more tense.

text;

[constructum]

Yeah. I'm noticing the slightly hesitation with a few. But we honestly need something that will better organize us.

Unless you can think of a better idea?

[constructum]

[ how are you not just the cutest thing? even if she has to squint at some of the text, she clearly can't be annoyed here. and hey ARTIST, she has to appreciate that. ]

You're friends with the others that write like you, correct? [ she is making an assumption of course, but hey, it's worth a shot after all. ]

Maybe you could see if you can get them all on board with this, if you wanted to of course? Any help is always greatly appreciated after all.

[maleit]

[ He doesn't open with a hello, and his voice is a bit brusque and demanding, if still its soft and quiet self. ]

This list of powers. Would it be available to the general public?

video;

[constructum]

[ and she isn't taking any offense to it, as she is used to this reaction now.

she offers him a small smile, nodding slightly as she does. ] It's something that can be discussed I suppose.

Do you see it being an issue if it is?

[voice] wow even my commentspam tags are getting tl;dr

[functioningperfectly]

A list of passenger's skillsets would no doubt be useful to us, but I'm afraid that the majority response at the moment seems to be in the negative. It would also be difficult to maintain without constant checking and reorganizing, due to the fact that many passengers seem to disappear at strange times.

I believe that, if one hasn't been formally created, it would be more useful to simply have a roster of passengers, rather than a detailed list of characteristics and abilities. It would be easier to maintain, for one; more people would be more likely to contribute to it, as well.

It would also help for us to keep track of how many people seem to disappear, and at which points they do so. It may help us better understand how the ship functions in regards to bringing others aboard.

Since I do agree that the list you originally suggested might be useful, perhaps it would be a good idea to simply have an open network post once every jump for people to respond to. They could then give however much information they feel comfortable sharing. For example, they could leave only their name, or a list of various skills, and things like that. It would also serve as its own editor, as no one individual would have to update it themselves.

[whoops ok a little out of breath. BUT HE'S ON A ROLL.] Unfortunately, as I said before, it seems that you would be just as likely to have a list with very few people on it, given that not many seem very interested in this idea.

[video] tl;dr right back at you <3

[constructum]

[ ariadne takes a moment to reply to him, quietly thinking over all the possibilities that could present themselves with it all. she sees the benefits, as well as the obvious issues that could arise with any thing what she is purposing - yet, she can’t seem to not believe it's worth a shot. if it goes down in flames, she supposes they can always blame it on the young architect in the end.

a shrug of her shoulder and she is then unconsciously rubbing at the back of her neck, quickly forming her next few words she wants to say. ] I like the idea of checking in at a central location with each jump – a list of sorts for that would only make sense with that. Obviously it would have to be voluntary.

[ at least it would be better then running around looking for everyone after each jump. ]

But I suppose I’m just interested in obtaining lists of people in order to help us... [ she pauses then, her hand waving slightly in front of her as she quickly tries to find the proper words she wants.

a small sigh and she is continuing with a more determined tone. ] I mean, I’m an architect – I would like to think I’m fairly knowledgeable with things that pertain to design and function. [ it’s only an example, but trying to provide some sort of idea to what she is looking for seems to be the best thing here. ] So if there ever was a question about something with the ships integrity or perhaps design, hopefully I would be able to help with it. So having me listed as such, I would only hope would make it all that easier for everyone else.

[ a shrug of her shoulder at her thoughts, and she is asking curiously. ] Does that make any sense?

[unwaveringloyalty]

I can aide in storing the information. [ She could have more efficiently before her 'change', which she's not happy about, but she'll find a way ]

[constructum]

[ her brow furrowed briefly at that, nodding slightly as she considered that.

curiously asking: ] How?

[ a beat, adding: ] Did you specialize in record keeping back home?

[longaevus]

I've kept a note of any patients that I've tended to but that's a relatively small list. I'd hesitate on guessing how many of us there are here.

[constructum]

[ her brow went up slightly at that, as she gave the woman a small no in understanding. she knows anything pertaining to patients would be interesting. though she does understand that whole doctor patient confidentiality thing. so she wont press it fully. yet. ] Anyone perhaps that you've dealt with that may now be absent [ a beat, and she is offering the woman a small smile. ] I'm sorry; I don't know your name.

[theshabbiestofmen]

I'm certainly willing to help, if any more assistance is required. Do we have a list of where passengers originate from, what it's like, and so on?

[constructum]

[ a small sound of thought escapes her at that, her brow furrowing as she does. ] As of now, it just seems to be the numbers. We have noting beyond that as far as I know.

[ a beat and she is adding: ] Do you see this other list - which I'm all for - being difficult to obtain?

[ as she is clearly noticing how anti list some seem to be. ]

Private | Unhackable

[andblockbuster]

You know, it might also be a good way of figuring out... How many people here are like... us. Four people on a ship this size aren't... Gonna do much convincing. Especially when we're suggesting messing with their brains.

Private | Unhackable

[constructum]

[ a small nod in understanding and a ghost of a smile is appearing at the corner of her mouth. glad she wasn't the only one with that idea. ]

That's my thought. I think I need to approach it as something general though, at least showing people that I don't mean any harm in what I'm doing. I'm just trying to find some answers for us as to why this is happening.

[ a beat and she is adding: ] You haven't come across anyone of note have you?

[re_imagining]

What sort of lists?

[constructum]

Any kind that might be useful I guess. [ a beat and she is adding: ] I know we have a headcount already, but having something more then that might be beatifically don't you think?

[laufeysons]

Not to step in the way of your gathering momentum, [ except that's clearly what he's about to try to do ] but what good will it do, truly?

[constructum]

[ DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO BE OPTIMISTIC HERE? ]

It should help in obtaining some organization. Which is something we so desperately need. And it would allow us a better understanding of who could help where. Don't you agree, we should start trying to focus are efforts more on certain things?
