Hey guys! I know we’re all busy right now with all the wild stuff you guys have managed to find out but wanted to get your opinion on something.

It’ll be real quick, I swear.

If I attempted to convince a citizen here to let me try out the Mass Subconscious thing out - Where does that land on the ‘good idea’ scale that ranges from one to ten?

( ooc; this post is connected to this little event of daylight's! if you have any concerns/questions/comments, please feel to leave them over at the top-level. o / )

[His heart breaks for this little girl and her family. He can't even fathom the amount of children that have been tossed in his arms at that age or younger whether it be for innocent photos or the last desperate act of a war refugee. The thought of one of those fragile beings getting killed over some conflict leaves a bad taste in his mouth. It gives him more incentive to put his own anger aside over being here without his consent.]

I'm sorry. I want you to know regardless about how I feel about our recruitment, I'm in this 110% percent. We won't let something like that happen again. We're in this together no matter how that shakes out.

[ now realising that he's been holding his breath while waiting for a reply, daylight realises it in a great, heaving vent. it it from relief? it's definitely relief. ]

Thanks, Steve. I mean it. I really do.

It's comforting to know that we're going to work in this mission together. It seems a lot of stuff is going to be all hands on deck.

[ and then, daylight sends a puzzling message: ]

Sorry.

[Whatever perfectly nice response Steve was writing ends up getting deleted. He's wondering what he's being apologized to for.] About what? Everything okay?

[sunborne]

That you're dragged into this, I guess? Along with everyone else who's new here.

[ how to explain himself here? hmm.... ] I'm kind of starting to realise now that not everyone is going to be, like, super into the idea of wanting to do these sort of things. Especially with what's at stake here. That's a lot for anyone to deal with when they're somewhere new and stuff.

So sorry that you're in this without getting a proper headsup? But definitely a thank you for being willing to give it 110% your all.

I appreciate that. Really. To be honest, I take more issue with not being asked than helping. This is literally my job back home. I save the world from threats with a specialized team. It's just nice to be asked first.

But, you know what? I can get over that if it means doing the right thing and getting to work with people like you.

[ oh.

oh.

that's- that's not a reply he expected at all. though it's not possible for him to cry, he needs to reset his optics a few times in order to calm himself down. ]

I hope I can live up to those expectations, Steve! Would hate to disappoint a neato guy like you so soon!

And! If you ever need help, let me know? We gotta work together after all.

[valuedstrength]

I will. Take care, Day. And keep in touch. That works both ways as far as I'm concerned.

[sunborne]

Sure thing, Steve! I'll let you know if I ever need a hand.

(And sorry in advance if I keep hitting you up too. I, like, have a habit of getting into sticky situations. Duty calls, you know?)

See you soon! :D
