As others discuss, she answers him quickly, but with a warm pace. "oh kyle," Dahlia taps her fingertip against her lip with the rhythm of thought, "that may be what you think, but it seems to be the contrary. something has bestowed you with a gift, according to our examinations. you may not know it, kyle, but you are."[break][break][break] [break][break][break] Katherine Fairburne's addendum is swiftly shot down in a vote. Yet, her proposed addition is noted— if not something that has already been performed in secret.[break][break][break] "i believe knowing who is an avatar is indeed, important. considering the gravitas that comes with avatarship, it is only a matter of time until that facet of identity is revealed. additionally, would you all not agree that most avatarships are granted in a very public manner?"[break][break][break] Dahlia crosses her arms, her long sleeves wrinkling at the elbows. A loose finger reaches the trackpad of her laptop in this posture. Before she navigates her cursor on the screen, she warns everyone to look away should they be sensitive of death.[break][break][break] [break][break][break] A few taps pulls up an image. a young man, encased in ice, can be seen. With more scrutiny, it is clear he is dead. Notes written around the scanned photograph suggest he was in the middle of casting an Avatar ability— and that his corpse featured burn injuries.[break][break][break] "senri harada, the previous avatar of articuno, was found dead, during the second invasion of rocket. his body was discovered near verdanturf." Dahlia's eyes linger on the frozen victim before casting sadly toward the tabletop. "this is why we are concerned. if you don't know how to control your powers, if you lack the resources to cope with this sudden shift, is it not likely that avatars who are not known, will face a similar fate as harada?"[break][break][break] With a heavy breath, she taps her laptop once more. Her nude nail tolls like a bell as it clacks against the pad. On the screen, the image zooms onto Senri Harada's terrified visage. "perhaps, this was a moment of foul play. whether we like it or not, an avatar is vulnerable the moment they are chosen. the public is right. who knows if our enemies will attempt to seek them for themselves?"[break][break][break] She pulls her finger away from the trackpad so that she can rest her head in her palm. However, she is quick to relinquish herself of the lax pose. Wielding her pen, she scribbles notes on a spare sheet of paper.[break][break][break]  "it does not matter whether the anointment comes publicly or not. a countdown begins when the blessing is bestowed." Her eyes look to her own file, "we can not ignore the fact that this aqua initiative provides protection. not just from others— but from themselves. and so," she says to Elite Four Thomas Benoit, "prevention is key. we help them come to us first— before anyone else can. personal information will not be disclosed aside from your names. of course, it would not be amiss to say that the public already knows who you all are."[break][break][break] Unfolding her arms, the Commissioner taps her pen on the contract. [break][break][break] "it's time for decisions— and a vote for the 5-year duration. as you all deliberate, i want to ask you all one question: do you truly know what you are?" [break][break][break] AMENDED CONTRACT / WAITING FOR VOTESTHE AQUA INTIATIVE CONTRACT
