... Well, I don't mind being that if I have to.

If it comes to it, I'm completely willing to do whatever I can for everyone here. Even if that means dying a fourth time, and a fifth, as many times as I need to... I don't care.

I honestly don't know where to start either on our situation, but I can tell you the biggest thing we need to do that even I may not want to do, is get over ourselves. We need to just... stop fighting each other. We have to stop. We need to be unified. Work together. Something. It's not going to be easy, either, especially not with some... other people here, but...

Well... having said all this? I'm going to try to think of something. But I'm not going to think wrong of you if you don't want to be the one to have all of that on your shoulders, either, okay?

... While I remember and I'm not trying to grind my teeth to dust, my name is Minato. If you do have any ideas, I'll be glad to help.

I never wanted to start fighting in the first place. I agree with you. Even though I think we'd be better off with some of the people here dead rather than working with us, as long as they stay out of our way, I think we could accomplish something. And we have to try. I'm not eager to get killed, temporary or not, but. Yeah. You're right.

I've been sidekick magic research girl for years and years, and trying to do the leader thing would only lead to badness and tragedy, so I'd be thrilled not to. I can't lie about that.

Willow Rosenberg. I guess first thing we should do is see who else would be interested.

... Well, that's simple enough, then. No need to go dragging you into a spotlight role if you don't want it, Willow-san.

I agree, though. It would probably be best if we spoke to see if others would be interested, yes. I think it's important we also make a point that we're not trying to be any sort of ruling group or anything else, as well, so people don't think we're trying to overthrow them or something. It's just that we need to set aside our differences and help one another. I don't want to force anyone into this. This is a choice thing.

We have a common enemy, after all. Surely this can bring us together?

Thanks. It's kinda embarrassing to admit, but I'm trying to do this whole honesty thing lately, where you own up to your bad side. That tends to be embarrassing in general.

I agree totally. We're not trying to establish a privy council, we just want to get out of here. I'll do anything I can to that end, and I can't be the only one that feels that way.

...

No, we can't be the only ones who do. I also feel the same. I'm concerned for my friends, and I honestly don't care what they've said about different worlds and different iterations. They're my friends. That won't change.

If we're going to get anywhere, I'm going to need to think of a fairly neutral way to address everyone...

Yeah. Friends are-- friends. Some things change, but that doesn't. I can't really give up on them, either, no matter where they are or who they are or what's happened.

I'd offer to make cookies for you to hand out for signing up, like when girls campaign for prom queen, but this is sort of too serious for that tactic, huh?

... That's funny, because I've been wanting to make muffins recently. But it probably would be just a bit too serious, in this case.

Well, I'll come up with something. I just need to think this through. First I need to talk to some other people, though. Unfortunately, there's a few people my friends and I don't get along with very well, and I'd prefer to settle this with them so I know that they won't just ignore it.

Really? Want to make muffins and/or cookies anyway? Baking helps me relax.

So you're really that serious about having everyone involved? If you don't get along, it might just be better to let them ignore it. Not that I know the situation.

... Sure. I saved a bunch of things from the other month. It struck me as a wise idea to put things away for a rainy day.

But I plan on not ignoring it, because if I did, then this would eventually become a problem. I think a diplomatic solution can be reached in the end, though.

Definitely smart. I think everyone could use some sugary goodness in their life right now. Let's make it a mission.

Well, good luck. Diplomacy is always better than the cold shoulder when you can manage it.

Thanks.

This is probably one of the better missions I've taken part in, lemonbar none. I think I could probably find some Blueberries to work with for this, if you're okay with waiting a bit?

Hey, I can wait for blueberries. Who can't wait for blueberries? Give me a ring and I'm there.
