Hello everyone! This is Chrollo, although I expect you could tell from the ID field.

As per a request by Ira Gamagori, imPort Ambassador to Nonah, I'm planning to start a database keeping track of the various abilities here and who has them. The point is to make it easier for people in a bad situation to look up and contact whomever might be able to help them. So, for example, if you come across an injured civilian, it would be easy to look up healers who might be in the area and contact them. Or if, say, you come across a fallen wire, maybe there happens to be someone in the area who's immune to electricity and can move it to a safer position.

We also thought it'd be helpful for the recently completed training facility, and so (as mentioned by the Ambassador) I've volunteered to assist by matching potential students with the trainer of their dreams! Or as close as I can manage, anyway, depending on who signs up.

That said, this is strictly voluntary. Neither I nor the ambassador is looking to make anyone uncomfortable or make them feel watched, especially with the new regulations that have been announced of late. So feel free to flip by if you're not interested.

If, however, you are interested, either in having your abilities recorded or as someone who might reference the database, I'm wondering what you'd find most useful to include. Ability, name (or codename) and location seem obvious, but is there anything else I'm missing? I'm trying to be thorough, I guess, without being invasive, so please share your thoughts if you have any.

When I'm ready to roll forward with this, I'll be setting up a text-based inbox on my communicator for forms, suggestions, requests and training inquiries. But in the meantime, if you have any suggestions, questions or comments now, I'm more than happy to hear them and talk to you about them.

Feel free to use video or voice if you prefer! I'm making use of text for easy reference reasons only.

I am working on that, yes. But I can't, offhand, imagine someone strong enough to face you.

I'll need to familiarize myself with the people here in greater detail.

[gowild]

[he's chuckling again now because, really, it's just too good.]

I'm in your hands, boss. I know you won't let me down.

...since you mention it, though, there is that one guy I live with... I'm pretty sure he's crazy. But if you get him worked up enough, he's like a bomb waiting to go off. Nobu saw me go a few rounds with him. Now that was impressive!

[...probably shouldn't add that for a moment or two he may even have been in actual trouble himself. because then he will get yelled at.]

There's got to be a couple more like that around somewhere.

[cephalothorax]

[...okay he put the book down.]

Crazy? In what sense?

[gowild]

The kinda crazy that makes him start acting like a totally different person halfway through a fight. Started laughing and screaming and everything. He told me that once, he thinks he wiped out a whole town while he was blacked out, didn't even remember doing it.

[SEE WHY THIS HAD TO BE INVESTIGATED, CHROLLO]

The guy's a real headcase, but... after what I saw, I believe him. That loony bastard doesn't even realize how strong he is.

[cephalothorax]

[.........

well that's interesting. Chrollo goes quiet for a long time, and then just kind of. laughs. quietly.]

I wonder what triggers that. Any idea?

[gowild]

Funny thing. I don't think he likes violence getting out of hand.

[and if it isn't obvious enough just how much he's grinning as he says that-]

He was worried about fighting anywhere civilians could get hurt, you know.

[cephalothorax]

[holy what is that guy for real. Chrollo looks up, and to the side a little.]

We'll need to be extra careful not to endanger anyone around him, then. This world is so exciting already, it would be a terrible shame to cause some kind of catastrophe.

Really, and I thought I was the only one being spoiled. It seems you are, as well.

[gowild]

Considering what I had to go through to get here, I'd be pretty pissed off if they didn't spoil me.

Ahh, but you're right. I'll be very careful around him. A guy like that, you need someone keeping an eye on him...

[cephalothorax]

Precisely. Keep an eye on him.

You never know when the world might decide that this place needs to be shaken up a bit.

[gowild]

[laughing again. not so giddily this time.]

Yeah, no kidding. Anything could happen in a place like this.

Who knew we'd end up meeting such interesting people?

[cephalothorax]

There are interesting people everywhere. It's only a question of where one looks.

Incidentally, do you like dogs?

[gowild]

Yeah, but I like it better when they come to me.

[otherwise he has to sift through all the boring people and who wants that?]

[...also what is that question even]

Eh? Dogs? Yeah, I guess so. Never had any problems with them... why?

[cephalothorax]

Paku and I were discussing pets. We think you'd like dogs.

[...]

Nobu as well. I don't need one - I have all of you.

[gowild]

[...]

We're dogs now, are we?

I probably shouldn't ask why that came up with Paku to begin with, but I dunno... Never thought about pets before, honestly. Not back home anyway.

[and now he is thinking about it. what have you done.]

[cephalothorax]

No no, you aren't dogs. Just... fulfilling. That said, I definitely have changed my mind.

I'm getting a boston terrier next month.

[gowild]

...You are, huh? I didn't think you were the dog type.

[then again he'd been sure Chrollo wasn't the clown type either, so who knows anymore!]

What changed your mind?

[cephalothorax]

[Included, nothing at all except...

one link.]
