hey! a while back at the beginning of the month i talked about getting people together to start forming a training coalition/volunteer crisis response team or whatever (this thing) and then this whole month went completely stupid as usual.
so anyway i still want to do that! i know everybody who replied thought it was a good idea and i am hoping to do the first meeting maybe in the first or second week of may and we just hope that the city is a lot less annoying next month.

maybe may 6th or something?

until then if you did not talk to me about this already and you're interested in training and organizing and being part of a crisis response team let me know.

if you already did, do me a favor and fill out the following so i can sort everybody? that would be helpful.

name:
age:
date you received the retrospec app:
abilities:
other skills/strengths:
do you work well with big groups or small groups:
other notes:

…anyway yeah! any other questions i guess you can ask them here.

i'm looking to be something like that, yes.
coordinator. leader. whatever you want to call it.

Oh wow, that's bold. Putting on airs there, aren't we?

do you think it's a bad idea?

No, not explicitly... Though I'm not really sure about it either.

If you've got people willing to go along with your organization though, that's all the better.

the title isn't as important as the cause.
that is all i am thinking about at the moment.

Well!

I guess the cause does sound smart, so yeah, that's fair.

thanks for the back-up.
if you have another way to pitch it i would be interested in hearing it though.

Not like I've done a lot of optics work, I guess I'm just thinking that a young face of something like that feels weird.

Maybe I'm just outdated where kids have as much responsibilities and superpowers a they do now.

the world's changing, elda. that is all i can really say about it, i think.

Not completely. I've not lost all sense, at least.

it makes you wonder which parts will keep changing and what will stay the same, doesn't it? maybe that's just me.

Some of those parts are choices. Like I said, some things are immutable - but then, I'm older.

normally i would say that doesn't mean much but i think in this case you might be right.
i still have a lot left to figure out.
not that i always feel 19 anymore, but that's a me problem that cannot interfere with this.
so i get it.

If you wanna go there then I've got forty-one versus a little over two hundred, so I really do get that too.

But you might as well enjoy being nineteen. That was a fun age!

most of my memories are from being sixteen so age is maybe kind of just a thing.
i'm trying to enjoy it as much as i can. i can guarantee that much.

Sheesh, between you and a few others, a lot of people seem to be trending lower. I guess I'm the odd man out here.

is that really such a bad thing elda? it just means you give us a different perspective.

Oh no, it's not bad at all! If anything, it's a little interesting. Even if I keep throwing myself off with all these grandparent memories despite my children being the same age as her grandkids.

maybe you were just considered a really young grandmother back then? it's possible.

Not hardly! I'm pretty sure their son's in his sixties.

what? that math doesn't really work.
well maybe it does for vampires but that is still pretty crazy.

How doesn't it?

She and James were over two hundred.
Henry (her son) and Calera were over sixty
Anju, Ren, and Karin (grandchildren) are all somewhere between 13 and 20-something

but that would mean she was like maybe 150 or something when she had her son.
but if vampires are eternal that's like maybe the equivalent of 30ish.

Not quite eternal, actually. Based on my memories I'd say she's on the older end, and any vampire'd be lucky to get over four hundred or so.

That's a good question though now you think of it, how long fertility lasts...

i'm not sure it is a question i personally want to think about for too long, but it might not hurt to figure out anyway. it might mean more memories.
