We are the named and we are known

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))

Of course. I don't want to see you so sad, you know.

You... don't? [You Humans of Luceti are so strange, you're supposed to get pleasure from seeing one of her kind in pain!]

Of course not. Why would I? [What kind of people are the humans of your world, anyway.]

[The very paranoid and greedy racist type. :|b] Everyone else does, back home... How we should be punished because our existence is wrong...

[He grits his teeth at that.

......Why is it people do this. Why choose to hate people for what they are? Things out of their control? It makes no sense.] No one should be punished for existing. The way you were born isn't wrong.

... It's not? [Eight years of being brainwashed by Humans to believe that, closely followed by the discovery that she isn't even classified as a real Auria. A hybrid, stuck in permanent limbo. The reason why Humans feared her maternal ancestors so much.

Everything about her was wrong and hurt constantly because of it. How could Frey be right...?]

It's not. Whoever told you that is an idiot. [He doesn't usually use insults, but....] It’s a problem in many worlds, but it doesn't mean they're right. They just don't like what doesn't fit into their definitions of what is 'right' or a person.

[If Frey believed that kind of thing, he would be no better then the Godwins and their attempted genocide.]

["Why do we have to listen to them?!"

"Because, Kaori. That's what we're meant to do, why we're born. If we can't protect them, what good are we?"

"All they do is kill and degrade us and you all say we have to listen! They've killed another of our brothers, they made me kill your parents! To see if I could be used in war! I was only six years old, Erika!"

"And all we can do is accept it, if that's what they want. Maybe if you were pure, you would understand..."

... She didn't want to. That memory... it's one of the ones hidden from her, since she lost her sight, she can tell immediately. If just by that memory... She killed her sister's, her best friend's parents? How...?

She's back to clinging to Frey, tears rolling down again. Not now not now not now. She can't remember yet...!]

[W-why is she crying? Did he say something wrong?] Kaori...? Kaori? I'm sorry, please tell me what's wrong.....

[He'll pull her close again, petting her hair and rocking her gently. He's sincerely worried about this. What had happened to her to do this? What had these people done....?]

[Damn it Frey, stop being so kind. The last Human who was this kind to her, her first adoptive father... She couldn't remember his face, or how he was taken away from them. All she knew for sure was that he was killed for daring to be kind to them. Frey would be killed, too, if they were in her world. No questions asked, the penalty for being kind and providing safe haven to an Auria was death.

She almost pushes away, remembering this. But this was the kindness they constantly craved and were denied, she couldn't get away from it.]

.....Please talk to me. I.... Don't know what happened, but I'd like to help you however I can, Kaori. [He's not letting her go until she's feeling better. When someone is like this.... being alone is the worst.]

It's just... [These aren't words she's used to, words that she's rarely ever heard directed at her. The only ones she'd ever been given were cruel ones, degrading her. She didn't even have the full blood of her mother to be able to simply accept it and move on, they all hurt.]

You'd be killed back home, for being so nice to me. For saying that stuff...

[A sigh. He thought so, but... He'll pull her close and speak softly.] Let me tell you something....

In my world, there are people who are bent on changing my country. These people... want to expand the country through violence, and eradicate other races who have long lived in Falena. I will never agree with such ideals, both for the pain they cause others and for me, personally.

Just because people can do such things doesn't make it right, Kaori. Every life is precious. Your's is, too.

Wha...? [That last part, she can't understand it at all, and she won't be able to as long as she is a half-breed. That has been cemented into her head by both sides of her blood, intentionally or not.

After all...

"Le'sachi literally means 'half-alive.' They'll never be able to experience life the way we do. They're more likely to die before then, at their own hand.

All we can do is pity them as they die their slow deaths. Forgive your parents, they never wanted this for you..."]

[And, for some reason, he feels a bit silly for saying all those things. Not because they aren't true, but...] M-My apologies. I shouldn't talk so much.

W-will you be ok?

... it's okay... [Those words... were just so warm... It almost made her want to hear them again, but that wouldn't be right, it had already been more than what she deserved that she heard them at all.

This calls for more snuggling, though this time it's shy. Aaa she being grateful?] I'll... be okay soon... maybe...

[He's ok with the snuggling. She seems to thrive off physical contact, and she seemed to need it right now, so... ] I'll stay until you are, ok? And then we can check out the room together. Did you know you can order whatever you want here?

[Way to catch her attention, Frey, what is this wonderful-sounding thing you speak of? The amount of good points you've gathered since the start of this encounter have really piled up.]

You can? How...?

By using the device here- [Leading her over to it and placing her hand on it.] You simply speak your request and it should appear. Items, food, vehicles, material things.

[Curious child is curious! A shiny new device clearly means that she must dissect it until it breaks. So now to test it, but what to ask for...

With a deep breath she speaks into it, as clearly as she can manage while recovering emotionally.] ... Baku.

[Frey blinks, unsure what exactly she's asking for. Looking around, though, he suddenly spots... something on the bed?] A toy?

He's here?! [The excitement in her voice is very obvious, as is the small bubble of hope that's been blooming for the past few minutes. She'll just focus her gaze back in the direction of the door, since she has no idea where he appeared.]

[And he'll lead her to the bed, smiling a bit at her excitement.] He's on the bed.

[Taking another tentative step forward, her knee hitting the edge of the mattress... and scurrying onto it once she confirms that it is indeed the bed, feeling frantically for the white cuddly thing then pulling it into a fierce hug. Having this guy around is one of the few things that has made Luceti tolerable since she got here.]

He's important to you, then? [Sitting on the bed and smiling still.]
