welcome to the jungle / it gets worse here everyday

[lucetimods]

Who: All draftees
What: Arriving at the (temporary) dorms
When: 9 AM of the 3rd. They'll be able to stay there until 1 PM of the same day.
Where: Dorms; location unknown.
Summary: Here is the hallway; here is your room. (Here is some additional info.) Go forth and mingle.
Rating: PG or PG-13 ish, I imagine.

Whether by their own power or by droid, your characters are arriving one by one to the dorms. Each room is specific to a single character; others can only be invited in by that character's allowance. Requested effects will already be present in the rooms. While you're here, you may want to request some last-minute supplies... this is your final chance to gather them. A final note: Shift incompatibilities will not kick in while characters are in the dorms; only once they are out in the field.

[Four hours isn't really enough time, but since she already has a list and ideas for what to do with it, she'll spend a portion of that time on requesting--particularly certain items that couldn't be accessed in the enclosure--for additional bonuses to medicinal sets. There are kits to assemble, a lot of work to do. Hopefully she'll have some help on that front. It's going to be a hectic time, and if she doesn't break, it should be within enough time. And there are still last minute details to go over.

Not to mention that curious bit about the water. Not something to go to waste.

In any case she'll be using the rest of the time to distribute what she's put together, whether it's knocking on doors and handing it to them, or using a few minutes to confer with people--and making sure others are prepared.]

[corrinesbell]

[Of course she'll have help. From at least one person, anyway. After drinking about as much of the provided water as she could handle, she'll join Raine in packing things together.

Being prepared outranks everything else this time.]

[wise_maiden]

[There's a lot to do, so she might not be too conversational during it, until the organizing becomes more set.

She is a lot more worried than she lets on, but what else can she really do about that?]

[corrinesbell]

[Hate to say it, Raine, but she can see your worried anyway, by now.

Same, though. What is there to do about it?]

Probably a silly question, but it's okay with you if I take one of these, right?

[wise_maiden]

That is the point, you know. [She doesn't meant to sound short, but... it is a silly question.] No one should be unprepared out there.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Would you like some help?

[wise_maiden]

[She looks up and smiles at Winry's appearance.] Please. The more hands the better.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Could you explain to me what these are?

[wise_maiden]

[Raine nods, and looks over to what Winry is pointing out.] Ah, these are all curative and medicinal items, usually meant for travelers. They work in ways that some would consider similar to magic. The gels can help provide vitality in a tight situation. Elixirs are rarer, but when ingested have a higher rate of restoration, and a quicker recovery from external wounds. [She looks to the potions.] These are panaceas, and antidotes. We're not clear on all forms of toxins we'll be running into out there, but they're known to be effective.

[Frederic was coming back from seeing Giles and then sees Raine out in the hallway as she's distributing the kits.]

Hello Professor, I came by to see how you were and if possible, I'd like to see about getting one of those kits you have.

[wise_maiden]

Hello, Mr. Chopin. [She gives him a smile, and holds one out to him when he comes closer.] Of course. They're meant for everyone to take, after all.

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

Thank you Professor Sage, my friend Giles told me you were making kits and suggested I come get one. [He takes it from her and bows.] He's worried about my health in the jungle environment we're about to go in.

[wise_maiden]

There are a lot of unknown conditions in this environment, unfortunately. A lot of precautions need to be taken, going in. [She shakes her head.] In any case, our survival takes priority here, so I intend to do all that I can to ensure that.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

[Derek will go find Raine, just so the healer can see that yes, he's here, and yes, he's all right so far.

Have a hunter knocking on your doorframe...]

[wise_maiden]

[She looks up at the knock. Most of the kits are being distributed by now, so there's still time to breathe before being sent in.] ... Ah, Derek. I was hoping to see you.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

[Derek nods, smiling a little]

S'all right to come in?

[wise_maiden]

Please, come on in. We still have a little time left before we're sent out there, after all.

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

[If it's help of that kind she needs, she'll have it from Ginko. He knows how to pack for long distances-- and has already put together kit of his own that needs no more adding to or subtracting. But having that done only leaves the extra time for checking in on others-- and the supplies that they'll be carrying.]

[wise_maiden]

[All kinds of help are appreciated. In the end, everyone will make their own decisions on what they need, but the least she can do is try to protect others as she can. Peace of mind and all of that--not that it will be easy to do, out there.]

... Ginko. [It's also frustrating, seeing so many noncombatants on this draft. But there's not much that can be done for it.] How are you holding up?

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

I'm just fine.

[and he means it. There's an air of serenity he carries, today, that certain personalities might find almost morbid in its acceptance.] Yourself?

[wise_maiden]

... I see. [Somehow, it doesn't surprise her to hear that. It's a little different from the last time they were drafted together, but she supposes there could be other reasons he has that feeling.]

Well enough, considering the circumstances. [There's a lot on her mind.]

[howtobeaboss.livejournal.com]

[Chances are Luffy's going to catch you somewhere in the halls, Raine. Because Luffy has been in those halls like a b-b-beast.]

...? HEY! White haired lady who runs the school! Oooi! [Waaaave.]

[wise_maiden]

[She's beginning to wonder if he'll ever get her name. At this point, she's used to his greetings.]

Ah, hello, Luffy. Is there something you need?

[howtobeaboss.livejournal.com]

Nah, not really.

But they got you too huh? Can you fight? Are you gonna be okay out there?

[wise_maiden]

That's right. This is the fourth time I've been brought into a draft.

... I have magic, and I can defend myself. So I'll be fine. [You know. If no one actually gets too close or anything.]
