[ There's a pause, a swallow. What does she even say? This is going to be difficult. Why didn't she just write this out instead, or dictate it into text?

It's Aeryn, mhm. I realize that I'm at a bit of a disadvantage here, at the moment, in terms of what happens next.
I hope you're well. [ A beat. ] I'd like to see you, if you're amenable to that.
[ she'd been looking to reach out herself, but aeryn beats her to it. when she first noticed the ping, nile wonders if it'll be easier in simply responding, but no, it is not. maybe it's not entirely polite or equal, but her response comes in a text form instead. they'll speak face to face soon enough. ]
hey.
i wanted to talk to you too. not sure how many restaurants are really functioning right now, but there's probably other spots to meet up. everything's so green, maybe a park? as long as the plants aren't gonna come to life.
maybe later, when it cools down a bit? and a park with a lot of shade.
new amsterdam. i've barely been to any of the others yet, i wouldn't even know where to look in oslo or beijing or whatever. i wasn't here very long before the aerie. i can't imagine just waking up there.
I understand more than I would have without the experience of the Aerie. Both worlds are very different from where I am from. The expectations are different. But this place is different still on top of that, so I'll take whatever help is offered to me.
No it's fine. Sebaceans and humans look a lot alike. I imagine being here is just as strange for you, a different world 500 years into someone's future.
funnily enough, i was probably gonna see it for myself eventually. just didn't expect to actually skip over all the years in between. i don't think this is my earth, but i guess i can't be sure
it's strange to me too and i lived it. i can tell you more when we meet up later, if you want? i feel like everything we know about each other isn't exactly reality.
[ and she'd like to get to know who aeryn actually is too. ]

i don't know a lot of places yet.

I don't know any place. The Aerie is the first thing I remember that wasn't of my life before I got here.
What city?

Apparently it only happened to a very few of us.

shit luck. i'm still figuring out a lot about this earth myself, but i can help, if you need or want it.

Sounds like a strange story
[ One she wants to hear more of, but she's not going to push. ]

Do you want to get ice cream after we've figured out which park?
no subject
i found a little dessert shop a bit after i arrived. i'll check to see if there's a park nearby.
no subject
[ She wonders what else the Aerie got right. What it got wrong.
No time like the nearly present to find out, Aeryn guesses. ]
Wonderful.
no subject
here, i'll send you the locations. [ she sends two pings, one for the ice cream shop and one for a nearby park about three blocks away. ] doable?
no subject
Yes. I can make it to these places.
no subject
cool. meet you there later? is 9 or 10 too late?
