All right. Let's try this again.

[Her words are strained and forced, because she honestly doesn't see why she needs to apologize. But for the betterment of things...]

I know before I was a bit... urgent about this matter. And I apologize if it came off as rude but.

We need to organize. We have to. I know some of you won't listen and some of you don't want to but please understand that this isn't just your own life at risk here.

I can't make you, I know that. So instead. Who is at least willing to organize with others into groups and actually willing to fight together? And I don't necessarily mean just for battles we are sent and forced to fight.

This isn't going to work for every issue of battle but it will at least be something more than we have now. Which, by the way, isn't much of anything.

And again if anyone is willing to help with this, I'd appreciate it. I'm not any sort of leader or commander or anything so no, I don't know what I'm doing. But at least I'm trying when the rest of you sit and wait and hope that someone might just happen to have your back in the battles to come. [Oops. A little too defensive there. She'll take in a breath to calm a tad before continuing]

If you don't want to help or be a part of this, fine. Don't. It's your choice. I won't stop you. But don't start criticizing another's efforts when you won't even try yourself. [Yep, still butt hurt.]

But for the rest of you... thanks.

I think it's smart to work together... something is probably better than nothing. If we're all disparate we'll be at the mercy of whatever way the wind is blowing.

[uncalled_for]

And thus far we have been. The fact that the casualty count has been so low is amazing. But if we were organized at all from the start it may not have happened at all. In or out of battle.

[payback]

I'll give it a shot anyway, depending on what you wanna do.

[uncalled_for]

For now, I think our first goal should just be trying to meet first. [Snort.] Or do you have reservations for participating?

[payback]

Of course I do.

[uncalled_for]

Very well. What are they?

[payback]

I don't even know you. Are you actually doing this just altruistically? Are you really manipulative? Are you going to ask me to do something disgusting eventually?

[uncalled_for]

[Snort. Yeah, she's a little offended.] You're serious?

I'm not asking you to trust me and honestly, you don't have to. Come to the meeting we have planned and see for yourself. But I am not some sort of blood mage or whatever you might have imagined me to be.

[payback]

Obviously.

[uncalled_for]

[Annoyed...] Any other problems?

[payback]

[Fiona you asked her!!!]

We'll see.

[uncalled_for]

[That's Fiona for you...]

Fine, ask if there are any other problems for you later then.

[payback]

Not to worry, I will.
