WELCOME TO DREAMWIDTH, HERO...

With everything that happens here, I have to wonder if we are really all that effective here other than being a nuisance or being made an example of. I'm unsure what had happened in "New Vesuvius", but it appears that sacrifices needed to be made. It's never easy to feel like you have no choice... To some people, that realization is more difficult to handle than you'd think.

Ultimately, you're left with the question of whether or not it was worth it in the end. Are you the person who refuses the circumstances you are put in or are you the person that pushes through with what you are given and find your own way?

[A small pause]

Either way... I hope all of you made it home safe.

To those it may concern.

Starting next weekend, I'm planning on heading North, to the mountains, for a week for some hyper intensive training while the weather is still cold. Anyone who feels they can benefit from it, feel free to contact me. You can join in, but I wont accept any weaklings who aren't willing to put in the work.

In light of what's going on in Venezuela, I ask that if there is anyone over there of sound mind that can inform us back at the City on the current status of the Imports. We can listen to what's on the news... but that would be foolish, wouldn't it?

If we can't pull you out of this with what we are capable of doing here.... if they need secrets from you or someone else's.... I have several. This, however, is our last resort. I could be stating the obvious here, but we can't trust what Vulcanus is trying to do. I've seen too many underhanded, evil people in my time. Confession or otherwise, we are supposed to be people that share this planet with the rest of the world. What they are doing is interrogating our kind with a virus that's pushing them to extremes that wouldn't happen otherwise.

I'm also calling out to the leadership here in the City. We need to find a solution to this, bring our people out of there and give them the help they need.

[There's Piccolo. In the Danger Room- which is programmed as a mountain clearing.]

If anyone needs a spar, the Danger Room is open.

To anyone who owns or runs this Institution. Who do I need to talk to about teaching?

[Here's a slightly irritated green man in his bare apartment in the MAC. Along with the fact he hates the combination of thin walls and his good hearing, he seems a little unsatisfied with the living space. While it's written all over his face, he's contacting the network on other grounds.]

From my understanding there is little training ground in this place. I find this to be pretty foolish considering our circumstances. Someone tell me I'm wrong about this.

I'm looking to hone in my skills. It seems that I've lost some of my power since coming here, and I don't intend to settle at that.

Anyone else looking to train or discover your powers.... contact me.
