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))

You're afraid of the dark? [This isn't good. He has no idea how to help you with THAT problem.]

[seiriald]

[That brings about a light blush, because really what a stupid fear to still have, even after five years of being blind.]

Uh... uh-huh... always have...

[goldenglasses]

[Whoops, he didn't mean to embarrass you.] Ah... that's alright. Just, uh, well, there's nothing to be afraid of right now! We're safe in this place and I'll stay with you if you want. [It's about all he can offer for help. It's not like he can get her a nightlight for something like this.]

[seiriald]

You'll stay? [The little child in her is so thankful for this offer you have no idea as she stumbles her way back into the room. ;A;]

[goldenglasses]

For as long as you want me to.

[seiriald]

Thank you so much, Vash... [And once again she makes her way over to cling to you. You're way too good to her.]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash is happy to let you cling to him as long as you need to. If this is the only comfort he can offer, he'll freely give it.]

Do you know what you plan to do when we get sent out there? [Blind girl in a war. Vash is just a LITTLE concerned. Little meaning a lot.]

[seiriald]

I'll be fighting close range, sort of as bait against the Shifters... [Which doesn't bother her at all, she has experience fighting and killing in war. The dark does indeed terrify her more than that as she continues to cling.]

[goldenglasses]

BAIT!? [Okay, who's idea was it to use the blind girl Vash feels a little protective of as bait!?]


I... don't think that's a very good idea.

[seiriald]

[Please direct any and all complaints to Nara Shikamaru~.] You don't? But... I'll make sure to do a good job on my part!

[Completely missing the point, yep.]

[goldenglasses]

But what if something was to go wrong?

[seiriald]

Wrong? Like what?

[goldenglasses]

I-I don't know, just anything could happen in a fight.

[seiriald]

I can take care of myself in a battlefield, usually...

And there's no power cap, na?

[goldenglasses]

True, but still a war is a very loud and chaotic place to be!

[seiriald]

That's true... [Thoughtful pause.] What do you think I should do, Vash?

[goldenglasses]

Maybe you should stay with the defensive group! [Where he can keep an EYE on you.]

[seiriald]

The defensive group? [Sounds boring?]

But Masaomi and Freyjadour want me to stay with them. I don't think they'd like that.

[goldenglasses]

Can they fight? [Can they protect you?]

[seiriald]

... They both say they can, but... I won't know until we're out there for sure...

[goldenglasses]

[Vash would still feel better if you stayed with him, but it wouldn't be right of him either to doubt someone he's never even met.]

Do you trust them? [Because in war, that's very important.]

[seiriald]

Do I...? [Long, long pause. Sure she likes them enough, but they're still Human. Yet they both have shown significant concern for her, despite being unable to understand why.

In short, she has no idea.]

... I trust Freyjadour...

[goldenglasses]

Well, if you're going to be doing something this dangerous you need to trust your teammates. And to listen to them if they tell you something. You need to keep each other out of danger by working together and that requires trusting them.

Can you do that?

[seiriald]

I'll listen to them so long as the task does not endanger their safety or the situation. [That response is automatic, almost said professionally. It's what she did back home a lot. And considering how many of them were Human, she kind of has to obey them.]

I can do that much.

[goldenglasses]

Alright, that's good.

[Vash puts a gentle hand on her shoulder.] Be very careful out there. [He doesn't like that you're going out to possibly the most dangerous areas, but he's not going to order you around either.]
