[He was still learning this whole earpiece device, so excuse him for it turning on and there sound like someone was fiddling with the setting. Where was his far more technologically inclined smart kid to help him? Ah well, he did realize it was on sooner than later thankfully.]

Uh... sorry? [Chagrin tone.] I was curious about an idea, since I still consider myself fairly new to this situation. Here's hoping you all with entertain me here:

What does a sense of community mean or feel like to you?

[A beat of a pause.]

Is it friends and family? Is it gathering places and camaraderie? How about a sense of people uniting for a specific purpose in mind? Everyone here has their own agendas and their own interests, and, with no overt crime present at the moment, it's curious to me how we could build a sense of community around these parts.

Not since I’ve been here. We’ve been tossed about by circumstance so often- I think we’re just trying to find our bearings. Though- I noticed this lot gets together to chit chat on Chirpr fairly often.

We do need to get a bit more organized, don’t we?

[Cid doesn’t touch on the Battle Royale bit only because he’s sure it’s true.]

[cantilevers]

Ah well, I was reading a bit on Chirpr, but I didn't participate. People did seem to come together for the fun of it. That's understandable given that whole... uh train situation.

Probably. United we rise, divided we fall and all that. Not everyone will want to get on board and that's fine, but organization seems like our best chance in this place.

Oh, come now. You gotta participate- it’s all in good fun. And you never know what’s coming. More to the point, it’s a good way to make friends. Make someone hesitate before they stick a knife in you.

So it is. You got a meeting place in mind that can hold a hundred people and an elephant? Or… A good pitch?

It's best I keep some of my open public network appearances to a minimum at times. [He had a few people here who didn't particularly like him.] I've also been fortunate meeting people on my own. The people around here who want to stick a knife in me aren't the types to hesitate, and my charming disposition won't give them pause either.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I need to write and practice any kind of speech for at least a few weeks. It's been while since I rallied a big group, and I feel like there might be some hecklers in this crowd.
