"Definitely did, just wish it hadn't all been part of such a bigger scheme..." Not that Ashton wishes their old friend had been killed for some lesser reason...just that it lead to something so much bigger than themselves. A gang of misfits and assholes trying to save the world.

"Heh, guess we're in like company. Not sure if it's really world ending but it's definitely something close to that back home." Ashton does catch the invitation and shrugs. Why not, it's not like it's some secret. "Back where I'm from, place called Exandria, there is a pretty fucked up guy who is trying to wake up this god eater thing to kill off all the gods...and probably become one himself who fuckin' knows. He managed to basically pull one of the moons down to help get there and is working on wakin' the damn thing up. My friends and I are...well we're gonna try and stop him. Because apparently we're the only ones who can, political bull shit is stopping everyone else."
