I've been able to read some pertinent logs, and I'm open to the idea that s=
ome of the information I have is one-sided=2E
I'm aiming to bridge the gap between the two sides of this issue in a way =
that won't make you, your staff, Voksa, or Agris uncomfortable=2E I get tha=
t the gap's big, and it seems in no small part due to some of my bumbling=
=2E But I am here to help=2E
Communication is my entire goal=2E I understand that I may appear to be an=
extra wheel but my entire purpose is to try to prevent the damage of a blo=
wout=2E If there's anything I can do for you, as a mediator or a friend to =
Agris who can help de-escalate this, I'm yours=2E
And if Agris has issues that need to be addressed before you can reasonabl=
y accept him into your world, I want to help him solve them=2E Anything you=
can offer me to achieve this is paramount=2E I want to stop people being h=
urt=2E
I think it's very reasonable for Voksa to desire to be alone completely=2E=
This is possible without banishing anyone=2E But I worry that wishing to b=
anish at even the presence of someone without further reason will lead to a=
ll manner of terrifying things=2E
If this was meant to be temporary so as to establish some sense of missing=
reason within the banished, it could have been said and further escalation=
potentially avoided=2E
However, I can't stand for banishment without it being a temporary or cond=
itional measure which could be resolved, or truly a general, sweeping actio=
n such as a blacklist=2E
To banish specifically and unconditionally in an otherwise regular setting=
is nothing but spite and destroys the faculty of reason, whether acceptabl=
e or not by policy=2E
I don't mean to be a burden=2E Please do not take offense to my unprompted=
messaging, or odd timing, and know that my ear is fully open=2E I want to =
hear you and your team's thoughts if you're comfortable sharing them=2E
I am very serious and stubborn, I'll admit, about hearing something, but i=
t's only due to your stature=2E You represent SpinDizzy, so I want to be ab=
le to get into a back-and-forth without considerable discomfort=2E I hold n=
othing of the sort to Voksa, despite my curiosity, because Voksa does not s=
et the policies=2E This us a gift unfortunately unique to your staff, who I=
can imagine might be a bit burnt out about all this=2E
Please understand that an intent to discuss is all I'm here to establish, =
not incessant, continuous requests for discussion if they can be avoided=2E=
I only need send this email once, and all I ask is a clear response, a yes=
or a no, conditional or otherwise=2E
And if I get none I'll save you the trouble and not bother you further=2E =
This doesn't mean mean I'd retract my outstretched hand=2E
Know that it's never really gone=2E You can always ask of me and I will be=
there to listen, regardless of the circumstances=2E
I know you are crafting an elaborate response with all of the staff=2E I s=
end this fretting the chance that it is a final message damning further com=
munication between us or otherwise shutting the door to civil discussion=2E=
It's not something I can prevent if it occurs, and even if you read this t=
he possibility of being condemned still stands, but for whatever reason I a=
m compelled to do these things=2E Ask my creator, I guess, whoever they may=
be; I don't have a clue=2E Maybe they don't either=2E
If your time is precious and limited, as life tends to be, tell me your av=
ailable times if you can, or any of the wizzes' times if they are willing a=
nd I can work with whatever you give me, no matter how small=2E Any sort of=
open hand is all I'm searching for=2E You can reach me on any platform you=
choose, if I lack an account I'll make one for this=2E Just give me the wo=
rd and I'm here=2E
Hopeful,
Kohrokho, alias Distaza, Friend of Agris

Hey, this time you *don't* have to respond, and I'll take a hint=2E Nifty=
=2E
Since it's a direct e-mail rather than to wizzes, it makes more sense this=
way, whereas no response from staff in a formal capacity would be concerni=
ng=2E You're gonna be sending that whopper any time now, anywho=2E
Man, I'm beat=2E I hope this was a decent mail=2E
I wanted to say something more generally profound and inspirational in the=
re but I'm out of motivation juice=2E
Thanks for reading, since I'm being meta=2E
