hello out there!
first time caller - texter? - but long time globe trotting errand gal. that's how it feels, anyway.
back home, i've been traveling with a group for a while now, trying to do...something kinda similar, actually.
save the world and all.
but there are always stepping stones, you know? so we end up helping a lot of people along the way.

what i'm trying to say is: if anyone needs a buddy for the mission, count me in!

[ ... oh, right - ]

almost forgot: i'm aerith. :D
anyway, not really sure if this thing's working, so maybe someone could respond and let me know if it is?

it's working

i can hear you and i'm sure i'm not the only one
buddy?

[anciently]

great! appreciate it.

buddy - yep, that's me! :)
i don't have experience with labyrinths in particular, but i've fought a lot of monsters before.
unfortunately...

[ebrius]

i'd be surprised if anyone has experience with labyrinths
not something you see pop up a lot where i'm from
can only guess what's going on in there

what kind of monsters?

[You know, strictly speaking it's not like he actually expects her to tell him, given their earlier run-in, but —]

Globetrotting? That sounds exciting.

[anciently]

[ You again. ]

sure is. not dangerous or exhausting at all.
it's really nice getting to go to new places and get everyone's perspective on things like...oh, i don't know: the shinra electric power company.

[unionized]

A good subject, if you're looking for something everyone has an opinion on.

[Hm.]

I wonder if you've run into any that surprised you.

Be careful.

[anciently]

aren't i always?

[ Decidedly no.

She'd been wondering when he might show, considering Rufus had mentioned some of the others present, but... ]

you know, your boss and i caught up in person, but i haven't heard a peep out of you.
maybe you could tell him to follow your lead.

[ d e c i d e d l y no. ]

I understand that you harbor considerable disdain for me, but we are all here as representatives of Gaia. It is in our best interests to work together, at least for now.

A "mission buddy"?

[anciently]

yeah! you know, to watch each other's backs in the labyrinth.

[prevail]

Now I see.

[ Mentally filing away "mission buddy" for his future vocabulary. ]

I'll offer my assistance, then. My background sounds similar to yours. Travel, fighting for the world...errands.

Nice to meet you, Aerith. I'm Tim, and I can confirm it's working.

[anciently]

hi, tim! thanks for the confirmation.
we have a lot of tech back home, but this IS a whole new world, after all.
thought there was a chance it'd work differently.

[mostdangerousbird]

No problem. If it helps, I haven't come across anything that didn't work like I thought it should.

But that's a thought. If something doesn't work how you expect it to, maybe we should start paying attention to that. The 'bots are building places from our home worlds. It might be important what they get wrong.

everyone's already saying it but for posterity's sake: it's working
dunno maybe it won't work for someone else but I guess they wouldn't be able to say anyway

'globe trotting errand gal'
^ what does this mean?

[anciently]

thanks. good to know i'm not just out here talking to myself.

just what it sounds like! we're going all over gaia for our mission, but along the way, we help a lot of people out.
so, some days you're fighting monsters, and some days you're rescuing kittens. know what i mean?

[counterstep]

gaia is the world you're from?

can't say I've really gone all over for that cause I don't usually have to go very far to find someone to help
but yeah I guess I've done similar
errands part just threw me off

traveling around to help people sounds either really fun or really exhausting though

or both

[So much peppy idealism...]

Are you a hero?

[anciently]

wouldn't call myself that, no.
just trying to do my best. maybe help out some people, too.
it's a scary world out there...so it's a tall order to be a hero.

aerith!!!
my name is fabian aramais seacaster, and it is great to meet you!!

and it is also great to know that other people here are part of an adventuring party as well!
it was so strange to me that so far no one else spoke of them

[ Especially when he is used to them being very common. ]

yES FABIAN ♥

[anciently]

fabian! it's nice to meet you too! :D
wow, you're definitely the most enthusiastic person to reply so far.
and i am definitely not complaining!

really? that's a relief!
some of the others don't have monsters in their world, and seemed confused about grouping up.
not sure i've ever called my friends an adventuring party, but i guess that's what we are, huh?
only one of them is here: her name's yuffie, in case you run into her.

♥♥♥♥♥!!!

[maximumlegend]

[ Dang, he will gladly take that compliment of most enthusiastic person to reply so far! Though he kind of gets what he means - some people here seem pretty uptight. Even if the situation is serious, it's a good thing to keep some cheer going as well, right? Aerith sure seems to get that, judging by her message. ]

i will definitely make sure to introduce myself if i come across yuffie
if you are anything to go by i am sure your entire adventuring party must consist of delightful people!!

what do you mean though that you have never called yourself that?
if you are a group consisting of various adventurers with different specialities and you go out and fight monsters then you are simply an adventuring party right??

[rootlessly]

hello aerith, i'm vash!!
if you'd still like a mission buddy i'd be glad to help :)

[anciently]

hi vash, nice to meet you!
and welcome aboard! i think we'll need all the help we can get...
this whole thing is pretty "trial by fire" for a newbie.
