alright, cool.

[...]

[that isn't really all he wanted to contact Shiro about, but he feels awkward bringing the rest up. like he's some 12 year old kid again, trying to make himself heard by somebody bigger, stronger, and speaking a different language]

i just think we should have priorities here. even if there's no leader.

[well that could not have been more awk sounding]

[that did sound awkward. are you daijoubu]

Right. Fixing the base and treating those who are still sick, as well as re-stocking on supplies. Perhaps expanding the base too for some extra space. Exploration somewhere in between all that.

[no. the lack of s t r u c t u r e in this place is making him feel like a top spinning]

exactly! everyone seems to be doing things on their own, but doesn't stuff get done more effectively in teams? how are we supposed to make progress if we aren't working towards the same goals, together?

["!"]

In practice? Yes, teams work best. There seems to be a general lack of structure in this place.

[and shiro doesn't yet know how exactly this place is run]

i think that should change. if we're going to be serious about working out way out of this. or just trying to live here safely.

[he reads this over, and rin's other messages, before replying]

Do you want me to do it?

[he feels a palpable relief in his chest, like a weight's been slightly shifted to the side, if not completely off]

it's not just on you, it's on everybody. but some kid mouthing off to people who have lived here months isn't going to get listened to about stuff like this.

I came here the same day you did. How old do you think I am anyway?

30? 35?

Try 25.

you went gray in your 20's?? rough.

I think it adds to my charm. Any comments on that?

[ha...ha...... and not "well let me tell you about the reasons i have ptsd"]

[static noise happens in his head for a good 3 seconds before Rin shuts that shit the fuck Down, like he always does]

none.

Ha ha harsh.

wOuld you get back on topic? you're almost a decade older than me.

I'm a pilot. I was appointed leader in a mission recently taken before coming here, but the circumstances to that was a lot different to what's happening here.

Taking the lead could prove to be a challenge. I'm not anyone to those here.

i didn't say take the lead. you're a calm voice raising the issue, that's all.

Many will see it as my trying to. It'll rub off wrong on those who aren't looking forward to limited freedom in what they do.

Though I can see how rallying everyone towards a more concrete short-term goal to fulfill URSULA's long-term one could interest some.

this isn't summer camp. having better systems for base repair, crew health, supply gathering, exploration and info gathering, can only help. maybe some people'll be pissed, but they're wrong to put themselves above the crew.

...I have to admit, with how things seem to be run here, it's only a matter of time before procrastinating doesn't cut it anymore.

Tell you what. I'll consider this for a few hours on what is needed, and then I'll contact the crew.

[got him.]

ok.

Lighten up, Rin. You'll get gray hairs in your twenties, too.

[tries at humour]

Leave the worrying to me. You look after yourself and yours.

my mom's 38 and she doesn't have a single grey hair. listen to your own advice.

For a moment I thought you were advertising your mother as single and ready to mingle with me. And regret on oversharing sets in.
