So are we past all of these body-switching shenanigans? Everything getting back to normal? Well, at least as close to normal as anything here can be? Good, back the daily grind, then.

So here's a question to everyone out there.

We've all got our crews, and we all have our strengths. Ever wish there was more of a system in place to divide it up by a standard, though? I mean, I know there are some competitive crews out there who probably just want to build up strength and crush everyone else, but I don't have that mindset.

It's pretty obvious there's a significant power gap between many crews. Take me, for instance. Sometimes I feel our crew is already so heavy on offensive power, I don't have much use. On my last crew, I was the bulk of the heavy muscle.

Have you ever just felt redundant to your crew, sometimes? Like maybe you could be helping people who actually need it more?

I guess I'm kind of lucky? I was always in high demand as a first mate, so even having another phoenix on board is just a comfort.

It's weird getting used to. Not being the guy people count on for protection.

Maybe they want you for other reasons, yoi.

If y' feel redundant, you've got a bad team.

Re: voice:

[alwaysgrumpy]

How do you figure that?

[tactilelearner]

If you don' feel like you've got a place? You don' think you're part of a team that can' just replace ya? You've got a bad team.

Re: voice:

[alwaysgrumpy]

It's not quite like that. Sometimes I just wonder if maybe I could be helping people who need it more.

voice:

[tactilelearner]

Guess that depends on whether you're wantin' t' help people who need it more or wantin' to throw in with people who need muscle so y' get praised for it, 'stead of being part of a group who helps.

I suppose I'm just venting, for the most part.

I'm less worried about redundancy than I am about being able to contribute.

Re: text;

Are you from a big crew?

[secondsmarch]

We're decently sized, I think. It's more a matter that I'm not a fighter by nature.

Not really. Being able to heal my crew whenever they need it is a pretty important position to have.

Re: voice;

[alwaysgrumpy]

That's always a needed ability, no matter where you are.

It makes you that much of a target, especially in big fights. But even so, I know how to take care of myself.

All the time.

I'm sure you do your part, as well.

[voice]

[myfayevalentine]

I do. But I'm a common human with a gun. That's my lot. You know who I've got kicking around in my crew - when it counts, I might as well not be there.

Re: [voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

I'm sure you carry out some sort of function, on board.

[voice]

[myfayevalentine]

I do. But it's nothing that anyone else couldn't do.
