As I am sure you have noticed, numerous individuals here are quite young.

[ Robin isn't referring to himself, but maybe he should be; he's outside, beside Accelerator whose frown matches the one on Robin's face. he doesn't speak up just yet, but leaves Robin to continue through: ]

Given the circumstances, it seems prudent to establish a safety net of sorts for those who may require it. Hawkeye had offered Bishop Publishing to 'capes', teens, and early twenties individuals; Accelerator and I are offering Ramsey Farm as a safe space for those who are fifteen years of age or younger. There will be one adult present, Willa Lisieux, and no others will be allowed on the premises.

This is meant to be a safe space for all of the youth who have found themselves here, regardless of their status.

[ Accelerator is chiming in here, for emphasis: ]

Yeah, it doesn't matter if you're a goddamn criminal or think you're a terrible person. This isn't just for 'good' people, or heroes, or whatever. We don't give a shit.

[ Robin tips his head back toward Accelerator, frown still present, but offers no follow up to that. Not yet. Instead, he follows up with a: ]

Do not hesitate to stop by.

[Oh, look! Two of her favorite boys around here. We love to see teamwork.]

That is a good idea. A place for the children to belong.

[This is her, giving them a gold star.]

... I think I will.

I can help protect the other children.

[She'll maybe gut a bad man or two, if it becomes necessary.

As you do.]

I can help protect you and him, too.

You both can get hurt.

[She huffs a breath at that, but seems contented enough by the 'later' he provides.]

Okay.

It would be a place for you and him, too, though.

[She just wants to make sure that they're very aware of that fact.]

Good. You should be able to spend time with other kids.

And you're my friends; it would be nice to see you there.

[She's not very good at saying this kind of thing, mostly thanks to not getting to say it at all. But. Times are changing, and it feels nice to say aloud.]

Yeah. Better than leaving all of you to fend for yourselves.

[Hmm.]

You don't have to worry about me. I am hard to kill.

[That's what you mean, right?]
levelshift: (huh?)

[personal profile] levelshift 2024-06-30 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Laura please.]

There's more to worry about in life than whether or not someone can kill you. You've never heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs before, right?
shoplifter: (:/)

[... The eyebrow she gives him says no, absolutely not.

She has no clue what he's talking about.]

Well. [Time for some absolute nerdery, sorry Laura.]

There's a lot to criticize about it, his methodology and shit he wouldn't have thought of in the 1950s when he came up with the theory, but I'm not gonna get into that. The gist is that every person has a bunch of needs in order to have a safe, stable and healthy life. Basically, this is the shit you need to be thinking about for a better life, since you can have that around here. It starts with physiological needs like food and shelter, then safety, then interpersonal needs and having a social structure, then self-respect and respect from other people, and at the end is self-actualization, being the best person you can be.

So 'Not worrying about dying' is the bare-fucking-minimum of it all. You can use the place for food if you don't want to go to the convenience store or whatever, or a place where you feel safe, or somewhere to talk to other kids.

[That last one is something he had to consider for Last Order. Socialization at a young age is very important, and Laura needs to have friends her age.]

[That's a lot to take in. Not because it's particularly explained poorly or anything, but it's all concepts that she's only just somewhat acquainted herself with; or, rather, other people have acquainted her with.

People like Accelerator, for example.]


Then I should come for 'interpersonal needs'.
levelshift: (who exactly are 'they'?)

[personal profile] levelshift 2024-07-05 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [He could've just said that to begin with..............]

Especially since there aren't places around here where you'd normally get that, like school.
shoplifter: (pic#11316502)

[personal profile] shoplifter 2024-07-09 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
... School...

I have heard of 'school'. Did you go to it?
levelshift: (glance 2)

[personal profile] levelshift 2024-07-09 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I did, that's why I know so much.

[Even if school was horrible for him he gets the importance of it. Soooo maybe he'll just shift the conversation away from his own experiences....]

Every kid in my city is registered at a school. In exchange for becoming an esper they get an education that's decades ahead of the rest of the world.

[That's how it's supposed to work, anyways, and once he's cleaned the city up that's how it will work.]

[personal profile] shoplifter 2024-07-15 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmm.]

It doesn't sound terrible, getting to be with other children.

But not separated by walls and locks.
levelshift: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] levelshift 2024-07-15 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
It isn't. It's a pretty great thing.

[Not that he really got to experience it but y'know. It rankles him that Laura doesn't get to, unless someone sets up a whole ass school around here.]
shoplifter: (pic#12169139)

[personal profile] shoplifter 2024-07-19 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe someday I will experience it, too.

[He isn't holding her breath, but... you never know.]
