If you're hearing this message, I am probably not here. Or I am furiously pressing every button I can because I forgot how this thing works. One of the two! Either way, I will get back to you...eventually.

For a start, but even beyond that, there's a lot we can do to improve relations between ImPorts and the world. We could ensure that our impact on this world is a positive one, whether or not we'll need help in the future. Though it's likely that we will.

[matadorable]

[Okay, he's starting to understand where Urquhart is coming from here. There's a smile in Manolo's voice.]

So, we imPorts would be doing our best to leave the world better than how we found it, yes? I would love to help with that!

[mightthinkthat]

Precisely! I'm glad you understand. I shall be making a formal announcement on the network.

[matadorable]

Great! I will be looking for it, then.

i heard people grow beards
in november for charity
i thought that was a nice idea

but i guess its not the same thing
as just growing a big mustache

what brought this on anyway?
do you and jaime talk about these things often?

text

[runningstart]

uhhh i dunno how it came up it just kinda did

jaime had a beard dream i think thats what started it


you should do no shave november man ur so masculine youll knock it out of the park

[matadorable]

oh i remember that!
he accidentally told
all the people through the network

[Manolo ended up keeping Jaime company for the rest of the night while he answered all the messages on his communicator. Good times.]

hahah you think so?
i guess if its just for a month
and for a good cause then
it cant hurt

hopefully maria wont mind a hairy face

[matadorable]

[???? He's baffled by that first message, but of course he's going to focus on the second one.]

A WOMAN ACTUALLY
BUT YES
I DO
SHE IS MARIA POSADA
AND SHE IS INCREDIBLE

Re: text

BRAG ABOUT HER TO ME I LOVE HEARING THIS STUFF

text

[matadorable]

WHERE DO I EVEN START
TO ME, SHE IS THE GREATEST WOMAN ALIVE

[It takes a few minutes for him to compose the next message:]

how can i describe her with mere words?
just imagine dawn breaking over the horizon
pink and gold light reflecting off everything it touches
there is no sound
nothing breathes
the only thing that moves is the light
and every living creature is spellbound by it

think of the north star
the bright, everlasting light
forever fixed in the sky
some stars are brighter than others
and the moon is something to behold
but when you have lost your way
and when you are weary from your travels
the north star's light is unchanging and true
piercing the blackest night
it always guides you home

maria posada
is a force of nature
she cannot be stopped
and i wouldnt have it any other way

text

[matadorable]

so i think about ways to describe her

a lot

Re: text

[runningstart]

thats so adorable im gonna throw up

u gonna marry her
yknow if at all possible

text

[matadorable]

that was my plan
i didnt want to force it though
i wanted to let her become settled here in heropa
before talking about those things
you know?

i mean
im dead back home
and we cant pretend otherwise

maybe that would only
make it harder on her
in the long run

text

[runningstart]

well youre not gonna know until u talk to her about it

dude dont hold off on happiness because of the whole dead thing seriously
youre never gonna be happy otherwise

text

[matadorable]

i know
i just feel a little guilty
a lot of the pain shes gone through
back home and also here
its because of me
