( it's taken him awhile to build up the courage for this one. he wants to make this idea happen, yet a part of him wonders if he's the right guy for the job. without Clark he'd floundered a little, yet the need for a stable medium for sharing information remains, so here he is.

he waffled over voice, video, and text. in the end, he goes for text, because it makes him seem less nervous. maybe. though anyone that's texted him before might notice the difference — all the capital letters and punctuation, for example. lazy texting doesn't work when you're trying to convince people you want to put together a newspaper. )

Hey. Hello. I'm Peter, and I was thinking...

So back home, I worked at a newspaper. Not The New York Times or anything, but a paper, and it feels like we could use something like that here. Stories about what is going on in Olympia, or Thesa, or anywhere that people might need to know about. Classifieds, updates, tips for finding work and accommodations, sharing... anything and everything, really, because we're all starting over, here, and we've got to help each other.

I've got lots of ideas. Maybe you've got some, too. Either way, I can't do this by myself. If you have experience in journalism, or just writing, and you want to help out, then let me know.

I can't pay you. Gotta be upfront about that. But maybe that'll change? I dunno. Money or not, it'd help a lot of people. If that's worth it to you, then let me know if you're interested, and what you'd like to do. Questions, too, I guess, though I can't answer everything yet. It's kind of all up in the air until I know who I'm working with.

Yeah. That's it. Thanks for your time.

( ...okay, not a #nailedit, but... it could have been worse??? )

theres not a lot of equipment here, but... brain scans, vitals checks, anything that could tell us what might have happened to you while you were in stasis

amnesia is an awfully convenient answer, if you ask me.

so almost like a medical check up?

i think you're right though. just passing it off as being amnesia is too much of a convenient answer but if you think the tests could help though then i wouldn't mind.

yeah. exactly like that. nothing too serious or invasive, i promise

i think we need to know more about what goes on in those machines. maybe we arent hearing the whole story, you know?

that doesn't sound too bad to me. if it can help figure out what happened then i am all for it.

yeah, i know what you mean. i definitely think there is more to this than what we're told too considering there seems to be some connection with those virtual reality simulators.

yeah. i mean they saved us, but

it just all seems to convenient, is all. how can we have memories of a world past its destruction, you know?

( maybe, in the end, Peter just wants to believe his world isn't really gone. )

yeah i know what you mean but that's the thing though, i don't think that our worlds are gone.

i did, i really did, but

how did you get memories if that place is totally gone? it makes no sense.

yeah it doesn't make sense. it only makes me more skeptical what they are telling us. [not to mention that she literally just lived through the world ending too]

well, the least we can do is investigate a little. i dont know if itll give us any answers, but we should at least try.

yeah, you're right and i agree that we should definitely try to look into it in case it does give us answers.

exactly.

so i will get some stuff ready and let you know when would be good, ok?

yeah, that sounds good to me.

ok, cool. ill get back to you soon

im glad you are back either way.

yeah, of course.

and thank you. i'm glad too.
