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.

[Mainly Karai keeps to herself. She hardly knows anyone here, after all. Her door is resolutely shut, and she'll be rather surprised if she gets any visitors-- but she does, after a while, decide it'll be at least courteous to check on her two neighbours here that she's aware of-- Vash and Piers.

Therefore, she'll be in the hallway for a bit as she hunts them up, if anyone's in the mood to be glared at by a ninja today.]

Miss Karai.

[honorbeforeall.livejournal.com]

[...Ah, indeed. Karai gives Winry a measuring glance, and then offers a polite nod.]

Miss Rockbell. Will you be out on the battlefield? [She's pretty sure you're not a combatant.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I won't. I'm going to stay at camp and look after any wounded.

[honorbeforeall.livejournal.com]

A sensible place to be. You should remain safe within its borders. [That... was a really poor attempt to be reassuring, really. Sounds more like a lecture. Ah, well.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

That's the plan. And will you be out in the thick of it?

[honorbeforeall.livejournal.com]

In a sense. I will be joining the scouts.

[With Donatello |Db]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

You won't be contributing to any friendly fire, will you?

[honorbeforeall.livejournal.com]

[Well, that earns an irritated look.]

I have better things to do in a battiefield than contribute to our losses.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that, I just... well I'm sure I have a friend you dislike out there. Um, would you like a medical kit? It has multiple remedies for fatigue, injuries, and includes antidotes and the like from other worlds.

[honorbeforeall.livejournal.com]

I have one of my own.

[...]

...but thank you for the offer.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

All right. Glad your prepared. Be careful, and good luck Miss Karai.

[Disconcerted blink goes here. But after a moment, she gives a nod, carrying on down the hallway.]

Likewise.

[Piers' door is definitely open when she stops by. He's finishing up his own preparations and getting all the gear stowed away.

Karai may well note the lack of any of the medicine that was mentioned to take, but otherwise the rest of the suggestions are there, with the addition of some strange star shaped crystals and a strange looking ball shaped object. He's working on packing it all up and finding a good spot for him to equip one of the items.]

[honorbeforeall.livejournal.com]

[...no medical equipment? She blinks, eyes flicking from the things she doesn't recognise to the more familiar. And then remembers to knock on the door frame.]

Am I intruding?

[coolstempers.livejournal.com]

[He turns and sees Karai and gives her an attempt at a smile to show he doesn't mind, but really fails at it because he's nervous about this.]

Not at all. I'm just trying to get everything packed up.

[honorbeforeall.livejournal.com]

[The nervousness is a little obvious.]

Is something the matter?

[coolstempers.livejournal.com]

Not at all. [Yes, there is. He just doesn't want to admit to being scared of having to actually fight people. Monsters he can deal with, but he really hated the idea of killing people.]

[honorbeforeall.livejournal.com]

You are not used to this sort of war?

[She's just assuming it's too wide-scale for him. A lot of fighters choke on a battlefield for the first time.]

[coolstempers.livejournal.com]

I'm not used to war at all. My journey involved going through monster infested ruins. It's far different to fight people who fused into a dragon than fighting the actual people.

[honorbeforeall.livejournal.com]

...I understand. Fighting monsters is...easier.

Will you be all right?
