Exactly. I think we should be making ourselves a bit more known. Have designated people around in the districts and keeping an eye on things, both so we have a pulse on what's going on and so we can be helping the people in that area as much as we can.
We can build up our rapport with people, help them, get to know them. Have ourselves known better and potentially build trust.
Ah, like district liaisons, almost? So there's some consistent familiar faces ( •⌄• ू )✧ That does sound like a good concept! Though some of them will definitely be harder to carve out a spot in, Basileios is kinda the obvious one but Water's Edge is pretty chilly about us as well But even so, we can't go about this lopsidedly or it might create tensions ꒰✩˙˟˙✩꒱
[So while Basileios, for example, might not be the first thought for an area needing help, they can't simply overlook it either.]
Some areas will be more of an upward battle than others, I admit. I don't think we're well liked in the upper districts or around the government buildings, either. So we can probably divide those areas for the moment and just try to build presence first.
Because I agree: we shouldn't create lopsided tensions either.
My other thought is that if we show the citizenry here that we mean to help (at least those of us who are involved), they will be more likely to look out for us too. And if, say, someone might try to impede on that help...they would not look kindly to it.
[ If Patho-Gen, the government, or even just circumstances try to drive a wedge between the Augmented and those they are actively helping, surely there will be some pushback and questioning, if nothing else. ]
Mmm, that's probably the safest way to start...I wonder if there's any particular Augmented types they might be softer on (・・。)ゞ Besides peacocks~☆
Oh, you're going for that sort of angle~? Well, I guess I can't call it too sneaky since the core idea is still desire to help ((*´艸`*)) I think I'd like to chat about it in-person sometime as well, this definitely seems like an idea that needs some spirited planning sessions
[And also he inherently doesn't trust the Syntrofos with sensitive information because of Patho-Gen being the ones running the network, so anything more outspoken than what she's just disclosed is something he'd prefer to discuss outside of it.]
It sounds like it's not just peacocks but any kind of pretty or shiny Augmented. Something that looks kinder or softer.
[ If anyone is a dog, for instance. Or a cat. Birds, obviously. ]
We should speak in person. The people who are interested should probably meet as well so we know who to pass off information to.
[ But it also requires some kind of meeting place... She may have to move up her timetable on a few things. A studio shouldn't be too expensive to rent out, and would be easy to turn into someplace private. ]
Well, mine might have pretty, shiny and soft ticked, but maybe not so much kind... ゜+.(。´>艸<)*.☆
[People are not always the nicest about bugs, even if moths and butterflies can sometimes skate through.]
I think some people are working up to moving out of the Valentia soon, so we might have more space to meet up depending on where people end up (●´ω`●)ゞ I've got loose plans with a roommate but we haven't set an exact date yet
That's most of them, though, and that might count for a great deal in comparison to others.
[ They'd have a hard time selling, say, a crab-like Augmented to people. Or something like the wraith she'd encountered previously. ]
I'm doing the same soon, though I don't have a date yet. July, most likely, with enough funds. That might be a good idea, though, to have meetings at someone's home.
[ Though she could also argue it might present a danger... She'll need to consider. ]

I guess I'll have to wait and see how my Corruption goes to be sure ( ◞・౪・)
It wouldn't surprise me if we end up leaving at around the same time, I think with more new people coming in, people might be starting to expect we'll get pushed out before long It might not be a long-term solution but to start with, I think someone's house would work well enough v(*’-^*)b
[Considering he and Yuki managed to hold at least one secret scheming meeting in Yuki's apartment back home.]
For sure~! I'll keep an eye out for you I know someone else who's been sorta figuring the city out a bit more deeply so I can ask her for options as well (゚∇^*)
[Deliberately vague, since he doesn't really want to disclose what Texas has actually been seeking locations for over the Syntrofos, but she should know some places they could potentially use.]
