Xena went home, huh? [there's the sound of her flipping through the pages]

Three years, eleven months, and five days. I guess that means it's almost four years.

[she seems to be asking herself a question, but she doesn't say it out loud. She ends the filter, and gets ready to make a new one]


[Filter: People who are leaders, either back home or here in Paradisa]

H-Hey! So... you're on this filter if you've ever been a leader. I tried to keep the wording really vague so that I could catch a lot of people on here.

Can I ask you guys some questions? Just stuff about how you got started, and how you learned to... do leader-ly things. That kind of stuff.

Leadership, hm? Often one has to learn as one goes, so to speak. Training to become a leader eventually certainly helps, but I can list a number of rulers who had the best training and were still quite awful at it.

[such a motivational speaker isn't he]

[shrugs_a_lot]

[Well, what do you know? He can see this filter... Hah! Take that Barret.]

Why do you wanna know?

filter.

[optimystic]

Just curious! You see people on TV do it all the time, but no one actually gives "here's how you be a good leader lessons".

[shrugs_a_lot]

You wanna be a leader?

filter; also bawwww about Xena

[inafadingcrown]

[Sounding vaguely amused] Ask what you will.

filter; she'll miss you Xenaaa

[optimystic]

[:D awesome! this lady sounds plenty regal]

So... how did you get started?

filter forever; <3

[inafadingcrown]

[She is! Which means your answer will be less than useful...]

I am the daughter of a High King; As such, I was trained to lead since birth.

[Percy's not that surprised he can see this]

I went on a lot of quests, and I sort of just learned through experience.

[filter]

[optimystic]

Quests? What kind of quests?

Leader Filter

[polar]

I was born to do that kinda stuff. [Literally.]

Leader Filter

[optimystic]

Really? [oh right, Avatar! She remembers a bit about what they talked about]

And you just... do it?

[gunslinger]

Leader-y...things?

[optimystic]

Yeah! You know... making inspiring speeches, knowing the right thing to do all the time, that kind of stuff.

Written and Filtered

[ruined_jaw]

Just sort of...picked it up, I guess. The main thing was that I had to know the strengths and weaknesses of the people I led, so I could best tell them what I wanted of them.

Dictated and filtered :3

[optimystic]

Someone else mentioned that too. [that means she has to doubly commit that to memory]

So how do you find out what people are good at? Do you just... ask them?

Leader-y filter forever

Bad things happen when I don't take control of groups. But bad things happen when I do as well. So it was more trying to control the bad things the best I could, I suppose.

[optimystic]

So it was one of those "greatness is forced upon you" kind of things?

Leader Filter

[circleoflife]

You are free to ask anything you'd like. I will answer your questions to the best of my abilities.

Thanks! Uh... I guess I'll ask first, how did you get started?

Leader Filter

[not_mafia]

[w...hat, tsuna's pretty sure he's as far from leader-ly as someone can get. do journal filters....... break?

....

It's a bit before he decides to actually reply to this.]

Um, I... guess I could try to help.

Leader Filter

[optimystic]

Thanks! [aw, this kid sounds sweet]

So... what kind of leading do you do?

filter

[doublethefun]

One does what one must.

[optimystic]

That's not a real answer.
