An Offer for Aid

[theheroics]

Sender: Zack Fair
To: Everyone
Subject: N/A

[ Zack is beyond stressed. Fueled with anxiety and the dread of what occurred in the aftermath of the Story Eater had him all but riled up and restless. It was through some coaxing, despite his initial refusal, that the former SOLDIER takes to the journal for a much needed break.

So here he comes with his horrible handwriting again. At least this time he actually knows who he is addressing . ]

looks like all those baddies are gone for good... hopefully.

everyone holding up okay?


if yor lookin to blow off some steam im open to go out for a run with ya
or squats
you pick but i promise the exercise will help

[ as much as he wants to stay in the house he's literally losing his mind and all the worry is getting to his head.

there's a bit of a pause but suddenly more words start to appear on the page. Typical Zack behavior ahead: ]


... ooor if your looking for someone to hang out with for a strong shoulder to cry on i got you covered

[ Susato recognizes the name Zack Fair, smiling faintly. With repairs ongoing at the Harvest, she truly has enough on her plate, but perhaps she can't resist. After moments where she's long flipped the page on him, she ends up coming back. ]

Squats are what you were doing when we first met, is it not?

[theheroics]

[ Oh!!! He recognizes that name for sure!

If he had a dog tail he'd be waggling it right now... ]

impressed right?? im a bit of a pro when it comes to squats
some even call me the "squat master"

[ no they don't. no one does that. ]

interested in giving them a try?

[judicialassistant]

[ Good news for him, she has no reason to question it! She decides she is supposed to be impressed. Which, thinking back on it, it kind of was! She is no such "squat master," however, and...well...

She has had worse ideas. Exercise is important. ]

I can try.

Where are you?

[herewardbound]

honestly i've been looking for somewhere to go for a workout that doesn't involve hitting something. i should look into getting a bike.

[theheroics]

hey hitting works 2
if you need a sparing partner i gotchu covered

pretty sure ive seen some around here if ur interested in getting one. dont think its a half bad idea

[herewardbound]

I have done a breathtaking amount of violence over the past month, vast majority of it concentrated in one to two days
possibly I will take you up on that offer in the future but for now a pleasant ride around the town sounds great
or rock climbing. i should look into getting some gear for that, i used to enjoy it a lot

Sender: Vanitas

[darkcharge]

It sounds like you're offering an array of services.

Not that I think that squats or running will really do much to take the edge off of anything.

[theheroics]

you can take them as a packaged deal if u want

its a good distraction if anythin
why? ever given it a try?

[darkcharge]

No. Why would I?

Running without a destination in mind is pointless.

[ Sorry Zack. Vanitas is still learning healthy coping strategies. o7 ]

sender: riku

[retrieves]

i'll pass on the strong shoulder to cry on.

[there's a long moment..................]

it'll probably be a little while longer until i'm up for exercising, but i'll take a rain check.

[theheroics]

[ oh! A name be recognized. He’s glad the other person is doing okay… at least a little from what it sounded like.

Yet despite how awful he felt, he’s going to at least try to use that ~Fair Charm~ to help ]

you sure? its a pretty large shoulder. plenty of room for any tears

but I gotcha. i take it your fight wasnt the easiest huh?

Sender: Prompto Argentum

[chocobosnap]

I desperately need a run if you want someone to go with you.

[theheroics]

that makes the two of us then

wanna meet by dreambucks and we can start there?

[ if that place is even standing… but hey, it’s a general landmark and one Zack has been getting all too familiar with (is he getting a coffee addiction?) ]

[sermom]

I'm sure all of us could use several of those.

Are you at least finding a shoulder for yourself to cry on if you need it?

[theheroics]

[ Oh! There’s a name he doesn’t recognize… ]

that depends if ur offering one

Sender: Alisaie

[leveillpier]

I pray that is the case. They certainly caused quite a mess.

I've heard that exercise is a form of relief. Though, I'd rather be sparring than running or doing squats.

[ Good old fashion smash things with a weapon, really. She most definitely won't be talking about her feelings to someone she doesn't know. It's something she rather not burden others with. ]

[theheroics]

doubt itll show its ugly head anytime soon. not after the beating it got

but sparing? if ur up for a few rounds i sure wouldnt mind helping ya out with that

[ who needs emotions when you can just swing your problems away, am I right?? ]

sender: sora

[oathkeeper]

not gonna lie i'm really tired and not just the nap kinda tired you know i saw some serious bad guys and im tired of it

do you really think a bunch of squats will help?

[theheroics]

you n me both kid!! but hey im sure you kicked some serious butt. hope it made it out alright

and of course!! squatsll cure anything. 100% zack guaranteed!

sender: tifa lockhart, puts down a dollar for another kassie thread-

[starshower]

[Much later, after she had managed to convince Zack to take a break for a while, Tifa did have to head back to the café to step back in for business, but that didn't mean she wasn't still going to check up on him again.

And again.



And again.]

You still holding up okay? You're not still doing those squats you were talking about earlier, are you?

everything thread with you is so special to me!! collects them all!!

[theheroics]

you say that like its a bad thing or something

[ in other words



probably.

it's hard to keep his mind occupied on anything else without worrying too much, so this is one of the only outlets he can think of. ]

Sender: Noctis Lucis Caelum

[sleepsalot]

dude... you do squats for fun? seriously?

[theheroics]

its more of a force of habit

why? something wrong with that?

Sender: Gen Asagiri

[fun_thementalist]

while I can't say exercise is my go-to method of stress relief, my friend - I am hoping some people will take you up on that offer

personally, I think I need to find a v big tub of ice cream

[theheroics]

yeah ice creams works for some but theres no rule against having both

maybe not in a certain order tho
