I am suddenly concerned about how I lived my entire life without a domestic cat around my house to enjoy the company of. I missed far too much, and will likely be catching up on it all night long because I'm far too entertained to sleep.

	I suppose not. I just don't want us to limit ourselves. Perhaps reaching out to the Asgardians would be a better idea. They have a good system in place already. Could be improved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How so? I doubt T'Challa wants to stop seeking alliances because we're potentially forming one with the Fillorians. Why the Asgardians? What system? They don't seem to hold much sway in regards to anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Okoye has previously suggested reaching out the Asgardians, just yesterday as a matter of fact, but I will admit that I am unsure of who would be the best person to speak to.

They are powerful, but they do not present any united front with a clear leader. They have a king, but they also have the queen mother that I believe the sons follow the lead of. I do want to see about making allies among them, but I believe Loki may be a factor that may prevent it, from the stories and footage of him that I'm familiar with.

You know them best, White Wolf. I see the potential for a worthwhile ally, but how would you go about it?

The problem you're going to run into is most groups here don't have leaders, don't function in the way of making alliances, or deal with politics much. When shit hits the fan they come together, but they're pretty much all over the place otherwise.

Your big groups that seem to really do anything when stuff isn't going down are the Avengers, the Xmen, the Fillory ones, and that's about it. You've got a lot of powerful individuals, wicked smart people too, but they're all haphazardly thrown together and usually not focusing on anything together.

Has anyone given much thought to forming a council among the Displaced? Because I'm told that the military in Tumbleweed is in charge, but for us to not have a functioning council with clear leaders among the Displaced is an oversight.

Who speaks for the Displaced when there is a new policy in place that people do not all agree to? Who makes the negotiations? Who cultivates the respect among the people, so that when it comes time to make a decision, it will be followed through by all? I admit I've been distracted by the ports, but I think there's a place for the formation of something that unifies all of us, if we try.

	Don't think so? But I can't say I paid much attention to any of that. I'm not sure there's been anything in place people didn't agree with? When we went back in time I think the group that was negotiating with the military had Sam and Rogue in it. Don't know who the others were. Nat might. And I don't know the answer to your other questions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you for the information you did have the knowledge to speak on. I will speak to Natasha more about the rest of my questions, but I do think this a worthwhile venture to continue. I hope the rest of you can see that in time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't think anyone has suggested it, but we had the military and a good deal of us working with them. From what I could glean, they were legitimately trying to help us, but they also asked people to keep their powers on the downlow. We don't exactly want to announce our presence and have the world turn an eye to us.

We haven't had any real disputes. There was a time when Wanda Maximoff, from our universe, lost her brother and destroyed the center of town. The rest of us all stepped in to assist, but it got us on the news so the military began a crackdown on powers. Warnings, that kind of thing. Then we went back in town and when we came back, it was like nothing had happened to warrant it and the town was twice the size it was before. Aside from that, we have been free to do as we please.

One of the Displaced ran for Town Council last year, and has been staffed in City Hall. Her name is Snow White. She has a few Displaced as her assistants. Her group is not as large as the Fillorians, the Avengers, the Wizard World, or several other factions, but she was also the Chancellor's assistant in Mount Weather before. I believe she keeps an eye out for anything.

There were a few people who consulted with the military back in the 1950s when we arrived to negotiate our presence at the time. I'm not sure if that negotiation changed what happened in the future. That's something I could look into when I get back. I get more access the more they trust me, but I get my information in other ways too. When we get back to Tumbleweed, a council is something I think should be discussed.

	Curious question: Was there anyone who didn't take too kindly to keeping their powers tones down? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There are always people who don't take too kindly, despite there being an actual reason for it. We needed to lay low since we made the national news. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
