Please read this! [Open to everyone]

I've talked to the Captain about the problems people are having with who's in charge. As it stands, he has someone currently drafting laws that everyone will have a chance to discuss, potentially change, and then vote on, and then afterward, depending on how choosing leaders is decided in those laws, he's going to have everyone decide if they still want him to be leader or if they want someone else.

Deciding these kinds of things is difficult, though, and I know everyone has very legitimate concerns about how this crew is run, and about our future.

For those reasons, in the next week, I'm going to go going around the ship and talking to everyone. I already talked to the Captain and heard his concerns, so I want to hear things from your side, too. I want to get to know everybody and what they're worried about, and then, when I do, I would like to throw a meeting for the entire crew. During it, I want to explain what I know of the Daligig and the Ohm, so everyone understands our situation better. And then I want to help you all get past your differences and get along.

My duty back home as Avatar is to act as a mediator, as the person that helps resolve conflicts between many different peoples across different nations. I want to at least try to do the same here, since I have experience with it, and since I'm pretty impartial. (It's my job to be).

So what I'm asking everyone is for your trust, and to talk to me as I go around the ship meeting everybody, so we get to know each other. The captain understands that I don't take the sides of rulers--or anybody. I help people work out problems and treat each other fairly and to actually solve them. I want you all to have the chance to get to know me, so you know it's true.

What I'm also asking if everyone is comfortable with that. Are you all comfortable with it? If not, do you think you'll be comfortable if we talk first? I want to see how everyone feels about this before I do it. And to ask me questions if you have any! I know people might want to know how I feel about certain things before letting me be a mediator for something that important.

(I told you I'd get back to you, Mr. Sawyer).

Aang? This is Aeneas--Katara...may or may not have mentioned me.

We need to meet. Our, ah, last encounter was not as pleasant as I would have wanted it to be.

[jesushasayak.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely meet up with you soon!

I'm really, really sorry about what happened. I wasn't myself right then. Thank you for trying to help me--and for helping Sokka.

[enter-aeneas.livejournal.com]

And I am sorry that I could not do more to help; frankly I am just happy that everyone is well.

Can you meet me in the Medbay? I tried to leave once, but Stacy would not let me.

Did I mention how happy I am that you're back?

Re: [Screened to Aang]

[jesushasayak.livejournal.com]

Only a couple million times.

Let's just hope everyone takes me up on the offer.

Re: [Screened to Aang]

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Guess I better mention it a few more times then.

Did you need me to help with anything there?

[grayaura.livejournal.com]

You know, you're sort of like Ty Lee in a way.

[jesushasayak.livejournal.com]

I don't make people fall down paralyzed and make googly eyes at Sokka...

[demon-alessa.livejournal.com]

I know several places we can start.

But firstly, I want to learn a little more about you, Avatar Aang.

[jesushasayak.livejournal.com]

What do you want to know?

[worm-dancer.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty impartial. (It's my job to be)

You are now? Well, your ego aside, this is progress. So good for you for calling this.

[jesushasayak.livejournal.com]

I'm not perfect, but I'll try my best.

[captain-jtk.livejournal.com]

You have my support in this, Aang. Best of luck.

[jesushasayak.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Captain, I'll try my best.

[craaazyisland]

Uh... no.

[jesushasayak.livejournal.com]

Can we talk about it? Why are you uncomfortable with it?

[indigoblueberry.livejournal.com]

I don't see why not, though I think that having a mass meeting would waste your time, and the Captain's.

There are too many people who like to imagine that they're some kind of rogue member who has the answers already.

[jesushasayak.livejournal.com]

They'll understand the importance of all of the crew working together after I'm done telling them what I know--and showing them our enemy.

(Also, that's why there are going to be rules about not talking over one another).

[itsaboutaction.livejournal.com]

I think that would be helpful. Give everyone a middle ground to be on.

[jesushasayak.livejournal.com]

Here's hoping it works!

[morphitudinous]

I have no objections. If you can share information with us, I'm ready to learn and prepare.

I promised Katara that I would help you in any way that I could.

[jesushasayak.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Uh, I'm having the feeling I'm going to need all the help I can get.

[ghost-bait.livejournal.com]

Ah, good luck. However, I don't feel I have been here a proper length of time and thus wish for you to work with those that came before me.

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

Getting some honest answers about the Ohm and the Dalgig would be a good start. Want to get something cleared about my world, and maybe getting memories back of just what exactly happened too.

That ya did, Yoda.
