It's occurred to me that since our membership shifts and our backgrounds vary so much, it might be good to compare what we're capable of. More to the point, I was thinking we might be able to help each other pick up relevant skills, if not hone the ones we already have.

If people are looking to train or think they could help others, why don't we discuss that here? I know at least a few of us don't have backgrounds in combat, for example. On our first day here I met someone who wasn't familiar with firearms but might get good use out of the skill, for another.

In my case, I have experience training others and can help with hand-to-hand combat. I can work with people ranging from average human strength to well above it. I've got some skill with swords and knives, but I wouldn't compare that to someone who specializes in them, and that's something I'd like to work on. In terms of non-combative skills, if someone wants to work on something like cooking, I'm reasonably helpful there.

Let's see how we can help each other improve.

[ her smile is small and soft, but genuine. ]

You offered, Miss Shuyi... That's already more than I could ask for.

[ even if nothing comes of it, she can be happy enough to feel a smidgen of hope for a few moments. ]

My name is Olivia.

[ She thinks she remembers how it felt to believe the world and the people in it are always kind, that everyone is out to help each other along, and the gratitude that comes with that perspective. She misses it. It's endearing to see in another person.

Her voice softens when she speaks next. ]

When you are ready then, Olivia, you may call for me.

Thank you, Miss Shuyi...!

[ though "readiness" may not be a luxury olivia will be afforded before necessity kicks in. ]
