All the details you need are here, so read up on it. This didn't get mentioned before, but you can tag the cultists instead of killing them. Details on this are on a previous draft post. Using the scanners are optional!

There will be a thread for interacting with NPCs, but they may not all go up at once, so keep an eye out for them.

Note: A log for the events in the village will go up on the 21st, in time for the hurricane and droid incursion.

I'm the soldier of Water and Wisdom. [The blue of her hair and uniform makes the water entirely unsurprising, perhaps. Her focus on strategy and tendency to disclaim power or strength of her own is probably also explained.]

[no_compromise]

['Flame and Passion.' 'Water and Wisdom.' An element paired with a virtue..Viral chuckles at this. Whomever these soldiers were, they were exceedingly similar to the old tales he found buried in ruined cities during his many long nights alone.]

This is straight out of one of those stories that humanity's forgotten in my world. You and Mars. This is too odd.

[geniustheveil]

[Jupiter: the soldier of Thunder and Courage. Venus: the solder of Love and Beauty. They all have their titles, and they take some pride in them.

If she could explain everything, she could admit that it was a surprise to them, too, that she'd be shocked to find out she was apparently the reincarnation of a guardian soldier living in a kingdom on the Moon, tens of thousands of years ago, reborn now to fight again. That she had special powers, magical powers, when magic was said not to exist.

As it is, she disclaims anything quite like the fanciful terms Viral puts it in.]

Our powers might be unusual, but we fight like any soldier in any other force. We're soldiers.

[no_compromise]

That's a sentiment I can appreciate.

[Because it was. She had a point, like Mars did. A soldier was a soldier regardless of what else they brought to the table with them.]

You and Mars...are a lot alike. It's good to see such honorable individuals around here.

[geniustheveil]

Maybe it's why we were meant to be comrades. [She believes that now, entirely: that they all met for a reason, as Rei herself would say. Oh, she's not so much the type to rely on fate as it stands. But she can see what meeting each other did for all of them.]

[no_compromise]

So it was fated, huh?

[He's oddly reminded of his fortune reading from Rei Hino, and their discussion on faith and fate. Strange, that it would come up in this context too.]

[geniustheveil]

I think so.

To tell you the truth, when I first became a soldier, I just knew I wanted to be with the others. I didn't even fully understand it myself. A feeling like that, couldn't it be said to be fate?

[no_compromise]

It could be.

[Though it was a concept he didn't understand that well, even at this point.]

[geniustheveil]

Anyway, as we met and as we fought together, we really became the friends I was hoping for. I think that's the most important.

[no_compromise]

[Viral nods silently, understanding that concept.]

It is, and a few of them are here with you. It sounds...nice.

[geniustheveil]

It's selfish of me to think it, but even though of course I wish it wasn't somewhere like this, I'm glad for them being nearby.
