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?

consider it a good reminder.

[ Of what they're fighting for...here, and at home. ]

think i've seen enough of that place to last a lifetime. [ Or more. ] so if you ever have something we need to talk about, let's make it somewhere else.

[unionized]

I'll take that to mean you won't be immediately deleting my outreach on sight, unheard.

[anciently]

not immediately, no.
i get that we have to work together, and i'm not about to let my feelings stop us from doing what we have to do.
just: don't make this more difficult than it has to be. alright?

[unionized]

Says the one with the reputation for being difficult.

If you'd like to lay out some terms that would make this more comfortable for you, I'll consider them.

[anciently]

i'm not the only one with that reputation, you know.

maybe. let me think about it and i'll tell you my demands when i have them.

[ "Demands," not terms to be considered ✨ ]

[unionized]

Meaning we're two of a kind? Even more of a shame that you're so reluctant to get along, then.

Careful. If demands are on the table, I might decide to add a few of my own.

[anciently]

no: that's the only thing we have in common.

[ Is that true? ...Probably not, but she's certainly not going to admit it today. ]

seriously?
and what would those be?

[unionized]

Oh, I'm not about to lay my cards on the table that easily.

I'll tell you when I hear yours.

[anciently]

then keep waiting, cause it's gonna be a while.
