[The handwriting on the network might be familiar to some, but a rare occurrence on the network nonetheless. The beginning of the message does not actually do anything to clear things up.]

I’m putting together a crew.

[Very helpful, thanks. She seems to realize that more elaboration is necessary, so the rest of the information follows a moment later.]

With the weather the way it is, it’s more dangerous than ever for the villagers to be out in the woods. We need to organize if we want to make sure no one gets hurt. I'm already on regular patrols between the settlements, but I think it might help if we can split up the work between a few of us. Escorts, clearing out some of the...wildlife. Send me a message or stop by the compound if you want in--just know that I'm looking for people who can hold their own in a fight.

Right. It’s Aloy.

[ooc: details about the monster hunting crew are here! to join, just confirm via this post and then feel free to use this loosely-organized guild for a hook or cr or whatever you need! For additional plotting/convergence of plots, hit me up on plurk at whitticus or on discord at whitticus.]

I wasn't trying to. I'm capable and I've been keeping an eye on the outskirts of the settlement already. That should be all that matters.

[ Because she's a stubborn idiot who refuses to stay with a random family, but she really isn't good at this. No. ]

[lightkeeping]

Yeah, that's all that matters. I don't want anyone to get hurt.

[furibund]

Obviously. That's not something I do.


[ She's smart enough to not tack on the 'anymore'! ]

[lightkeeping]

All right. Good talk.

[furibund]

[ This is dismissal. She knows this is dismissal!!! But ugh. She made a misstep and also there is something vital not shared here: ]

My name is Nebula.

I have my own weapon.

If I need to find you, I assume I can ask Rocket.

[ The only acknowledgement she'll give to him vouching for her :') ]

[lightkeeping]

Rocket says you're good. So, that's good enough for me.

I have a compound out in the woods. You're welcome to stop by.

[furibund]

[ They've worked as a team long enough that Rocket vouching for her really shouldn't be a surprise and yet... It still is. In a good way, in a way she doesn't want to openly admit. Yet it makes her feel, as the kids call it, tsundere so she almost wants to leave it at that and go about her day. ]

[ She can leave that part, but she should respond... So it's a big belated, but: ]

I don't trust the locals enough to stay in the lodgings they offered me, so I stay out there myself.

If I happen across it sometime, I will stop by,

[lightkeeping]

I don't blame you. I don't like the idea of owing them.

Just give me a heads up when you do.

[furibund]

I will.


[ She could say more, but for the moment there is not much else to say. She'll leave it at that. ]
