Arriving at the Facility

[hageshii]

Who: All Draftees!
What: Arriving at the dorms
When: As of this morning
Where: The dorm facilities outside the enclosure
Summary: General shenanigans for people inside the dorms.
Rating: PG-13, probably.

[After traveling through the tunnels, draftees will arrive in the hotel-like dorm facilities. For information on what to expect, please read here! This is open comment log for anyone, so threadjack away! But remember, you can only enter someone's room if they let you.

If you haven't already, check out this post and get your character assigned to a team!]

SPECIAL NOTE!! - Since this didn't come up before (but should have, my bad), there are actually a minimum of 400 Third Party soldiers in each area as opposed to in total. This means there are 1200 of them over all.

[Knock-knock, knock-knock-knock. Knock. Knock.

And oh, yes. It's done to a tune.]

[Caesar answers the door personally. It wasn't so much about wanting to make a good impression as it was wanting to seem approachable - he had to feign good leadership, and it wasn't as easy as some people made it look.]

Fancy meeting you here. Need something?

Let's just say I'm in need of some last-minute bolstering.

[She sighs.] Mind if I come in?

I don't mind at all. [He shakes his head, and moves out of the way to let her in. Most people would have taken advantage of the luxuries they're being offered by now, but this guy? Nope. Not at all. He's used to not having every little thing he might want and so only sticks to the necessities. And in this case, the necessities pretty much just mean maps and notes and other boring strategist things. And he's okay with that.]

I'm not sure how much I can do for you, but I'll try my best.

[She takes the few steps in and unabashedly looks around. It looks...busy. Productive. She approves.]

Just...how much of our collective strategy deals with death? [She comes out swinging.] 'Cause, okay, I killed the General. But he very nearly killed me, too. What's supposed to be the deal with all his underlings? Full on slayage? Or just...disarm?

[She begins to pace. This is clearly someone who isn't used to hunting humans. There's a whole...soul issue involved.]

[Even after he shuts the door, Caesar remains standing as he speaks. He was feeling a bit restless, but for the most part, he didn't show it.]

Unfortunately, that's a good majority of it. During the last draft, the Malnosso specifically said that our men would remain in that city until all of the enemy's forces had been eliminated. It was estimated that it would take them about a week to do so, and it did. Had it taken longer, however, I don't doubt they would have kept them there.

So, to put it simply, disarming these guys won't be enough. The Malnosso want them out of there, so I'll guess it's because this place is important to them somehow. If these guys are anything like the last ones we fought, though, they're complete pushovers - even weaker than the ones we fought in the village. But it also probably means these guys aren't going to say a word to us, and are going to attack us no matter what we choose to do out there.

[She nods, sadly.] This is where the puppeteering part comes in, right?

[Buffy slides a hand along her jaw.] Well, if they are fully souled humans? They still made their choice. I can manage kill or be killed.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

That would be our only option. We don't know why they're here, and they don't care why we're here. And I don't think anyone wants to be stuck out here longer than we have to be.

Yeah. It's...strange. I spent the last month pretty much craving this. And now that I'm here? I wanna be back.

I guess it's not surprising. Talking about it and actually being a part of it are two different things. It might be tough, but I know you guys will be all right.
