oo3 ✦ city-wide census (feat. megumi fushiguro)

[vixenish]

Hello, Manhattan. Today, I have another question for you all.

What type of Vessel are you, and what is it, exactly, that you can do? What type of power do you have?

Consider this Manhattan's first unofficial census of Vessels and their abilities. What we hope to do is identify what abilities the same Vessel types share in common, so that newly arriving Vessels know whom they can speak to about their new powers. Better understanding what each of us can do may help us better understand ourselves, too. We can all learn from one another, hm~?

[ and, perhaps, learn something about their most delightful benefactor. ]

This is voluntary, of course, but the more people who answer, the more helpful this will be. Don't be shy.

Megumi?

[ HE'S BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME: ]

I think that about covers it. I'm making record of all of this, so if anyone has concerns, you can also talk to either of us privately.

(ooc; replies will come from either Lortel or Megumi, or both! You can indicate if you'd like either/both in your subject line, or leave it up to us to wildcard!)

I understand.

[ if their abilities are at all similar, she can see why he would keep it quiet. she didn't like having to share, but it's likely someone would have asked, if not Jinx. ]

Isn't it~? [ she chirps it, pleased. ] People can be so forthcoming.

[ she was counting on everyone's better natures, of course. ]

[zauns]

I do appreciate those with such charitable natures. [Soooo easy to take advantage of.] And how generous of you and your friend to ask, and do the work of connecting those who desire it.

[vixenish]

[ "generous," hm...

Lortel and Megumi both have, ostensibly, the public interest in mind, here. of course, she herself may or may not have her own designs that are served by acting so altruistically. it's funny, to see her own thinking reflected back at her so baldly. ]

So do I. Their contributions will help keep the city safe, after all. [ yes, that's definitely why. ]

I wouldn't call it generous. We all stand to benefit, after all.

[ but Silco's presence will be Lortel's reminder to re-review everything Megumi's decided to record before it gets added to the 'public record' he's created. ]

[zauns]

It's always wise to keep that in mind. You're helping others - hopefully they'll remember that when the time comes that you need help in return.

[vixenish]

Yourself included, I'm sure!

[ chirped, cheerfully.

it is the general hope, surely. in truth, she expects little. it is, as it always has been, safest. ]

[zauns]

Oh, naturally. And I wish you luck in your endeavors. Do let me know if I can offer any help.

[Definitely strings attached.]

[vixenish]

And what would I owe, if you could?

[zauns]

[A thread of genuine amusement. Good girl.]

That would depend on the help needed.

PRIVATE

[vixenish]

I could use an ear to the ground for types that didn't volunteer their information here.

PRIVATE

[zauns]

Perhaps an exchange of information, then. If you learn more, I can tell you what I've learned as well.

[vixenish]

[ hm.

on its face it's a fair deal. ]

Could you be more specific about exactly what you're looking for~?

[ but better safe than sorry. ]

[zauns]

Knowing what sort of Vessel people are is helpful, as well as their powers. But I'm also quite interested in the connections between people - who supports who, who might be enemies. Simply useful information to know.

[vixenish]

Oh, my. What dangerous information. [ she says this musingly, more amused than anything else. ]

Then I have one further condition. As we grow closer to completing a full list of all Tokens and Vessels, I'd like your thoughts on any patterns we may find in the data. I'm happy to discuss that together, once we have sufficient information.

If this is palatable to you, then we have a deal.

[zauns]

Of course. It should be very interesting to see what sort of patterns might emerge. I would be very interested in discussing them.

It's a deal.

[vixenish]

It's a pleasure doing business, as always.

[zauns]

I look forward to our continued partnership.
