We are the named and we are known

[lucetimods]

Who: All Draftees
What: Arriving at the dorms
When: 26th
Where: Dorms, location unknown
Summary: Dorm information is here. This is your room!
Rating: PG... we hope?

Your characters are shuffling off to their rooms. Each room has their name beside it and only they can open the door. People can only enter their room if they're allowed in (or they leave the door open). Characters will find any requested items in their room already. If they have a requested vehicle, there will be another door in their room that will take them to the hangar to inspect their equipment.

((Mod note: Extra draftees won't experience their Shift Incompatibility handicap in their dorms. :|a))

Then perhaps you should stop making the threats to begin with. I understand your sentiments without it.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

I suppose you're right. [Caesar walks over to his brother, reaching up to... pat him on the head. That's for your threat.] Reading between the lines and all of that. I forget that you actually can be reasonable sometimes.

[chikaidestroyer]

[Albert's brow twitches at the pat, and he sighs at Caesar.] You are not getting out of sleeping outside if you do something idiotic.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Serious, huh... [He isn't surprised by this. Not one bit. But it is cruel.] Well, unfortunately for you, I won't have to sleep outside, because I wouldn't do anything that idiotic while I'm out there. After all, I've got some pretty good luck, don't I?

[chikaidestroyer]

Some. [He says the word with emphasis.] But you shouldn't have to rely on luck.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

I don't. Not unless it's an emergency, of course. When all else fails, as they say! [So reassuring. He shakes his head.] But I don't think it'll come to that.

[chikaidestroyer]

Good. It shouldn't, at least for the first few days. It depends on whether significant reinforcements come or not.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Of course, of course. But even then, let's try to rely on a little more than luck, okay?

[chikaidestroyer]

Says the one who mentioned luck in the first place. [Albert shakes his head faintly.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Like I said. Only in emergencies. [He tilts his head again. Hmm...] Speaking of which, you didn't ask for that owl again, did you?

[chikaidestroyer]

[There is silence as Albert drinks his wine for a moment.] A very curious question.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[...there is something strange about his response.]

Uh... Is it?

[chikaidestroyer]

[He walks over to his hangar with drink in hand, opening the door and standing on the steps just inside. Even in the semidarkness, those large, reflective eyes can be seen peering in their direction.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

You did, didn't you? [He had been joking when he asked. Mostly. He doesn't walk into the hangar himself, but he does watch as his brother enters, and even though he can't see past him, it's not hard to guess what he's looking at.] ...why?

[chikaidestroyer]

To see if they would give me the same bird. Which they did. [He doesn't sound particularly defensive or anything.]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

You already established that the last time. [And sure, maybe he could see why Albert would check on that this time, too, but...] You're strange.

[chikaidestroyer]

[He raises a brow.] Strange? Why do you say that?

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

It's a giant owl. [Come on, bro, we've had this conversation before.] You could ask for anything, and you keep asking for this stupid owl.

[chikaidestroyer]

I don't intend to bring it out there, Caesar. [Okay, so they have had this conversation before.] There is nothing wrong with checking on its well-being.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

And you don't think that's strange at all? [So weird. But while Caesar might be baffled by this, he isn't really judging his brother for it. ...well. Not completely.] It's not like anyone else would ask for a giant owl. You might be his only friend.

[chikaidestroyer]

Perhaps it's something of a child's fancy, then. [He scoffs.] I know that seeing it manages to relax me.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

[That... is something he hadn't expected him to admit.]

It does, huh? [He walks over, glancing around Albert to get a look at the bird. ...its eyes are so creepy like this.] How come?

[chikaidestroyer]

It has proven itself to be very helpful. Perhaps you are not aware, but it landed on some Third Party soldiers while they were attacking Ted and me. It deserves some attention for what it has done. [pause] Especially if it is as you say and I am its "only friend."

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Heh. Recognizing it for its kind and brave deed, then. I had no idea it was so noble. [He sounds amused. Not what he was expecting at all.] Why didn't you just say that in the first place?

[chikaidestroyer]

Because I was expecting you to be upset that I had been in a dangerous situation again. [Seriously. They only had the conversation a little while ago.]
