The girl always was a flighty one, depending on which part of her you were talkin' to at the moment. Looks like she forgot to pass on the message before joining the ranks of the long gone.
What is there to be arranged? I suppose you're one of them. If you wish for me to join your ranks like she did before you, I have already said that I have no wish to join those who do nothing but write riddles.
The worst case scenario, they will kill me. Then perhaps I will die. That will be the end of it. If I come back, regardless of what I may lose - memory or limb - everyone will understand my return, and things will return to the exact same routine, just as it has happened to those before me.
Perhaps they seek conflict for conflict's sake. I do not know how far I trust their words or actions myself. They certainly seem to hold power greater than our own.
Do you have any guess at what they might do, or are you shouting in the dark?
I am guessing they will go after me with violence. Perhaps I will see one's face. Or perhaps they will live up to what they appear to want to do and attempt some sort of upheaval.
Then look for the unexpected when that violence comes. Do not think that it will be with any normal weapon. I am the one who was buried alive--I did not even conceive of that as a possibility.
Do you wish for any assistance in protecting yourself? If it is something that can actually be fought, I believe I can help.

All the same: be careful what you wish for, chief.

I wish for nothing but an end to this meaningless slog day after day.

We'll see what can be arranged, barkeep.

Thank you, but no. This is one thing I would prefer to do myself.

Well said, but watch your back.
