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))

[He can tell. Looks like a good time to turn off the TV and he shifts around to let his legs hang off the bed now.]

Sounds like you're prepared. [Weapons-wise, maybe not emotionally.] You're worried about that guy, aren't you?

[He saw him on the list. He also saw one of her friends talking to Bil about it, Xion too.]

[fourteen]

... [ shakes her head. ] I know what he's capable of. And I think the chances of him actually using those abilities to fight the Third Party... are pretty low. I don't know what I'll do if I see him.

[ perhaps try and kill him. --or perhaps not, but there's a darkness in her eyes now as she stares hard at the floor. ] But it's not really me I'm worried about ... it's Ven and Aqua. They're in danger with him here. Like it won't be tough enough in the middle of a war, they have to worry about Vanitas going after them, too.

[markofthewise]

[Those names...]

They'll both be with us in the Distro-Center, with plenty of allies able to back them up if something happens. The moment this Vanitas guy tries to pull something, the only person anyone will be feeling sorry for is him.

[It may not mean much, but he's convinced of what he's saying. He's already prepared for the possibilities of anyone from the 'Villain List' stirring up trouble. If they start attacking allies, then they'll be as much an enemy as any of the Third Party.]

[fourteen]

[ for a moment, she says nothing, just looking at him. there's a convincing ring to his words, one in which she wants to believe. at the same time... at the same time...

she only remembers the sound of his laugh as he left her best friend for dead on the floor.

briefly she shuts her eyes, taking a deep, steadying breath. ] Alright. Just... Sokka... do me a favor. If I say anything about... trying to go after him... talk me out of it, okay?

[ it sounds easy now, in this plush room, where there's no sounds of war. but once she's out there on the battlefield, she knows how much harder it'll be ... to resist. if she runs into him... if she hears of anything he's done...

it's hard not to want revenge. ]

[markofthewise]

[He nods at that.]

I'll be keeping you too busy to have a chance anyway.

[Still, if it does come to that, he grabs two of the bombs and then tosses them her way.]

Take these, just in case. They're smoke bombs I made, you just have to pull the cord and throw them. If you get in a tight spot, they'll come in handy.

[fourteen]

... busy? [ blinks. is that so? that's good news. she makes a quiet noise when he tosses goddamn bombs at her, but catches them deftly, one in each hand, tilting her head while she listens to him explain their use.

smoke bombs... isn't that familiar? from a long time ago... a different fight entirely. she remembers explosives then, too. different ones, perhaps, but...

well, she remembers that they worked. so she smiles, and nods, holding them to her. ] Alright. I'll keep them with me. Thanks, Sokka.

[markofthewise]

[He returns her thanks with a smirk, then answers her previous question.]

You can fight, can't you? Unless you're a civilian, you'll be doing your part too. [And to think, he doesn't even know about her corridor powers yet.]

[fourteen]

Of course! I just ... I'd be happy if I could really be useful. [ slightly nervous smile. ] There aren't any hostages to rescue this time, but... I still want to help people get around, and heal, if I can.

[markofthewise]

Um yeah, healing. Getting people around. Fighting. Actually, if you want to help people get around, there are those skiffs...

[Probably won't take long for Sokka to figure out how to operate one and then he can teach Xion.]

[fourteen]

... skiffs? [ blink. ] Um... I don't need anything like that. Not out on the battlefield... you know about the darkness corridors, right?

[markofthewise]

Uh, hallways without any light?

[fourteen]

What? No! [ she laughs. ] It's a method the Organization used to get around. I can create portals ... corridors of darkness! We used them to get between worlds, but I can use them to get around the battlefield, too. A lot quicker than any vehicle. [ smile. ]

[markofthewise]

[He's not quite getting it yet. Because, like most things from her world, it doesn't make much sense.]

Quicker? How fast are we talking about? And how many people can it move at a time?

[fourteen]

Um... pretty much instantly. And you can take two, maybe three people through at a time, but I can keep it open, so you could keep up a steady stream of people going through... like, one or two at a time. [ thoughtful look. ] It worked pretty well to move the civilians around last time.

[markofthewise]

That does sound pretty useful.

[But sending that small amount of people at a time... useful, but potentially dangerous in case of ambush. It's one alternative if they can't find any of those skiffs near the drop zone.]

[fourteen]

[ nodnod. ] I wish I had the ability back in the village... it'd sure make getting around a lot faster. [ crooked smile, and a shrug. ]

[markofthewise]

[Blink.] It doesn't work there?

[fourteen]

Nope. It never has. None of us can do it. I wish I knew why... it's not like we could use it to escape anyway.

[markofthewise]

Huh. Weird. [But not something he's going to lose sleep over.]

Well if it works, it could come in handy.
