When: SATURDAY afternoon/evening.
Where: The barracks, either inside or outside depending on how many show up.
Summary: A long awaited meeting. Lets try not to make it too complicated, mmmkay? :|b
Notes: Normal action to reduce everyone's stress! o/
Rating: Uhhh idk.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the nature of this situation, basically people are encouraged to make suggestions or openly mingle. I'll be posting what Raine wants to address, and then other people are encouraged to bring up other suggestions. Maybe flag them as a [Raises hand] or something to broach discussion on. If someone raises a point that you wanted to bring up, perhaps reply to it or supplement it somehow, to reduce the possibility of spam/people getting overlooked. Feel free to mingle before and after.

[Wherever the meeting is actually held, it would have been set up for a group of people to either sit or stand at their convenience at some point, depending on the volunteers available. Some people are welcome to act of ushers of a sort, making sure that things don't get out of hand. Regardless of the number, it'll probably be very crowded.]

Then, I've got ten years of it. Plus, I'm already willing to go out there and dirty along with everyone else. Like I've said, I killed the General and I'd do it again if he came out yelling his death is freedom> speech one more time.

I want to look after these people, Albert. Even the non-fighty ones. It's not my fault they're stuck here, but I can't help but feel like it'd be my fault if they died here.

I know you want to, Buffy, and you temper that compassion with common sense. Can I count on your assistance if we are out on the battlefield together?

Of course. [A pause.] You're planning to go, then?

It would be rather strange for a war strategist to not go to war, wouldn't it?

Is it? Part of me kinda figured a strategist would just hang out in the back. Being tactical.

There is a difference between being a bystander and being an noncombatant. A strategist can't very well watch the tide of battle if they do not follow the troops.

That's a pretty respectable point of view, Silverberg. Major approval from this soldier's corner.

It isn't a common practice for your world's war affairs?

The thinkers chill out in the back with the high brass. Their brains are important! Can't risk having them offed in the middle of the battle they're supposed to be orchestrating.

If there was such structure and military hierarchy in place here, it would be the safer course to take. [He certainly has no wish to get caught up in the battle itself.] But we will not have prior knowledge of our environment or the ability to scout before we are set upon out there. It makes more sense to see what the soldiers will be dealing with in person.

Slayers have to be their own tacticians, a lot of the time. Each Slayer is tested on it--tactics, I mean.

Not surprising when you are expected to be on the battlefield alone.

The Watcher locks his Slayer up in a house with an uber-extra-feral vamp. But only after he's drugged her up to deprive her of all those fun things that make a Slayer into a Slayer. It was done on her eighteenth birthday, to make sure she lasted that long on her brain as well as her brawn. That it wasn't just luck.
