[The day after the temp pairing announcement, Jedao calls him seemingly-randomly - although he's made sure not to call during Edward's custodial shift.]

If you beat me to the deck, you can choose the Enclosure location.

[ He's not usually the sort to research a person before he reaches out to them - not his preference or his strong suit - but this is new territory that seems horribly easy to fuck up.

So he leaves Edward alone for the first couple of days, as he tries to get a sense on how to approach this. Fortunately, he doesn't need to scroll too far back to get exactly what he needs. ]

I've got an offer for you, Captain.

Hey... I'm Cloud Strife.

[Simple enough start.]

Looks like we've been paired for the month. Let me know if you need anything.

[ Bundled in a yellow ribbon is a pair of very squishy hand-knit socks in a black and rainbow yarn. There is no note.]

Hey. It's Natalie. We're temps for the month, and I'm okay to hang out or whatever if you want, no pressure, but I think... something weird and Barge-y might be going on.

Probably best if I don't leave my cabin til it's over. It could... it could get pretty bad if I do. I'll try my best with calls and texts until then.

Sorry.

Hey. How are you doing after that breach?

Hey
Know what my new year's resolution is?
To warden the shit out of you

I'm exaggerating, obviously, but we do have work to do. I just didn't want to rush you. I do give a shit about you, and I do think you can do this. So.

Merry holidays. Shit gets real in a few weeks

Hi, Ed? Natalie Scatorccio's inmate? I'm Misty Quigley, Natalie Scatorccio's girlfriend. What a port, huh? Are you okay? Do you need anything?

Oh my god, Ed; I am so sorry.

[Pause for dramatic emphasis so as to indicate just how sorry she is!!!]

The timing here has just been the worst! Natalie is fine, she didn't leave by choice, but she got kicked off the ship. Neither of us are happy about it!

Hey, uh-- I saw what you said to the Admiral, and... I'm really sorry. I like Natalie. She's cool. But, um. I guess you've got me this month? How are you doing, do you need anything?

How are you doing?

Hey. Checking in to see if there's anything you're looking for out of pairings this month.

...saw the new arrival. How you doin', lad?

Hey. I know this is kind of out of the blue [pun possibly intended] but my name is Aerith.

I understand that Thrawn approached you on behalf of the Greenhouse? Or... on behalf of my suggestion?

Sorry about that.

[ Jamie's not as hands on as some (one might even say he was relatively hands off) which is why he just tends to check in on Ed once a day. When he goes to check and Ed's not there, however-

Well, first things first: a message. And the fact that it lands somewhere, that the number has someone on the other end, is a good sign. ]

Eh, lad. Just checking in. All's well, then?
