My static met for the first time yesterday around 6:30 central time. One member wasn't there and we weren't able to get ahold of her. We give her about 45 min and decide that we need to find a replacement so I do a /sea all level 43 and there's Apathy, a BLM, perfect replacement for our missing BLM.
I ask her if she's willing to party with us and she says yes, warps from Windy to Jeuno and we Teleport to Altep. The journey to our camp takes another 15 min or so and we get started.
We're about 4 kills into it and things are going well and our BLM makes it on and now I'm stuck. Our BLM was stuck in traffic, 3 car pileup on the way home made her late for our group, an understandable circumstance, it could have happened to any one of us.
I tell Apathy the situation and also let her know it's her call if she leaves or not (this was all using /tell rather than party chat). Our RNG goes and pulls another beetle and Apathy warps out (No I'm not mad at that, we were fine to handle it on our own, I think it points out how frustrated she was with me) and sends me a tell a few minutes later saying "Next time wait for your BLM, this is irritating".
I wanted to apologize formally to her, I don't know if she reads these forums or not but maybe someone who knows her does and I wanted to show that I do feel bad about what happened and hope that she isn't too terribly upset with me. I'm not intending to demonize anyone with this post, I believe the only one in the wrong here was me, as I'm the one who created this situation in the first place.
