Characters: Members of the Foreigners' Guild
Date: Beginning of May
Location: Welcome Center
Situation: Trying to figure out just how this thing is going to work
Warnings/Rating: none to start; will update if needed

Today, the Center is...not quite closed, because it was never closed, but the sign out front was a little more specific than usual: indicating that those who had chosen to align themselves with the Foreigners' Guild to stop by at their convenience for a group discussion. Word of mouth was the primary means of getting the information out, but just in case, Zatanna was nearby with a checklist making sure to get names of not only who showed up, but of any known members who did not. So that they could be contacted at a later time and kept in the loop.

For her part, the 19-year-old was sitting casually in her favorite armchair by the fireplace (though currently lit, was emitting very little heat, indicating a more magical nature. For ambiance, mainly) and not-quite-facilitating the entire process. Her body language gave little indication of wanting to step forward as official leader, although she was ready with answers for any who may have had relevant questions.

[[ooc: Characters are encouraged to make their own top levels for open-ended discussion of the state of the Guild; if any of them want to talk to Zatanna specifically, indicate in the subject level and she'll come around.]]

"There aren't, no. But we both know that not everybody might be cooperative."

That much hadn't changed in all the time she'd been here.

"Well, we are a varied bunch, conflict is bound to happen. That's why we need someone level-headed to lead."

She very nearly let out a snort at the thought of being considered level-headed. Who would have guessed?

"I see what you're still doing. And I do appreciate it." She offered with a light smile. "Hopefully, not too much conflict, especially over something as relative painless as a Guild member tally."

"It was worth a try," Valdis said with an elegant shrug, "But yes, I doubt such a simple question will cause problems."

"Probably not. It'll moreso come down to what we end up doing with the information. You know, where to put it. I mean, I doubt memberships would be that much of a secret, but what do you think? Should we keep a public list somewhere?"

More questions buzzing around in her mind, not only for her curiosity but keeping in mind the personalities and potential concerns of the others. Because that, if nothing else, might hinder some willingness to comply.

"Not public," Valdis replied, "But you should keep one here, for reference. If a new foreigner wants to speak to someone in a guild before choosing one, or someone needs a contact within a certain guild, it would make sense to have a list handy. I'd hesitate to allow just anyone to have access to it though."

She thought about that a little more, and very nearly nodded, when an idea hit her.

"What if we also offered a copy to each of the other Guild heads? As a show of good faith. I'm sure they would be interested in knowing who's in what, and it wouldn't seem like we were hoarding information that they could find useful too?"

Valdis smiled, knowing that Zatanna would make a good leader even if she had only based her opinion on this conversation alone.

"That's a good idea," She said, "They have a right to know who is where for similar reasons."

She did nod this time, looking a lot more excited than a moment ago. Both for herself, for coming up with the idea, and the idea itself. If one of the larger critiques the kedan had of Foreigners was a lack of organization...well, they weren't exactly wrong, but this would be a step in the right direction.

"If we can have it done by the Courtyard event, that would be great. Everyone'll be all in one place, and we can distribute them then."

Valdis nodded, "I shall do my best to have the lists finished by then."

She looked around the room.

"I shouldn't take up any more of your time. You have actual guild members to speak to."

"If they need me, I'm here. And you don't have to be a member to get my attention, just for the record."

But she smiled as she spoke, so that Valdis would know the response was meant good-naturedly.

"I'll see you around. Good luck."

"I know."

Zatanna would be a good leader, she certainly had Valdis' vote.

"Good luck to you too."
