Please note that there is a specific top-level comment thread for:

• The day 3 arrival of the draftees and the 6 hours that follow until the bomb is dropped
  
• Death--This thread can be treated as REFERENCE ONLY. Responding to it isn't necessary.
  
• Threads prior to departing for Zompania--post resurrection freak outs, arguments over how to proceed, etc.

All other threading, from day 1 until the reinforcements arrive, should be conducted as normal.

Kind of hard to describe it with decent language considering that experience. Sorry.

[She could have come up with something even worse, but that description summed up how awful it was quite succinctly. It was like having her soul poked and prodded by the sort of creepy child that likes to rip off fly wings just for fun.]

If it's any consolation, there are at least two dozen people here who can sympathize with how awful that was.

[gunkonmyboot]

Let's go find them. Maybe one of them knew what was that all about.

[He kept a calm composer. They should of finished him off when they had a chance, because now it was no more Mr. Niceguy.]

[fashionably_strong]

Maybe. Do you want to try beating the answer out of them? I don't know how much luck we'll have, but I suppose we can try.

[Better than having that experience again. That may actually top Bebi in creepiness. It's impressively horrifying and disturbing.]

[gunkonmyboot]

[Hey, it makes a great stress relief.]

I dunno. Was thinking of asking nicely first, then go from there. [Is he joking with that poker face? Probably.]

[fashionably_strong]

[That little smile that appears on her face is one that's probably more suited to the Saiyan Prince than to her, but this is war.]

So what's nicely? Breaking a finger and asking them "Would you please help me out and tell me everything you know about that creepy dying and then suddenly being alive experience"?

[gunkonmyboot]

[Now where has he seen that smile. A whistle escaped.]

Sounds better than an arm and leg. Let's go find us a rooster.

[fashionably_strong]

If they're not going to talk after breaking a finger or two, they probably won't. They are fanatically devoted to their cause, after all.

[She takes a moment to think on that.]

...I'm almost wondering if bringing us back was the Malnosso's doing. I mean, normally if someone dies and they bring the person back, there's a penalty and it takes a week to revive. I wonder if their methods usually keep anyone from remembering...that experience.

[gunkonmyboot]

[He paused for a moment. Honestly, it didn't matter to him long as he could take his vent on the cultist, fanatically or not.] A valid point, but that doesn't excuse them for trying to kill us, or getting us killed. [Yeah, he isn't quite sure how to put that experience.]

[He turned to her with a curious glance.] Do we have any updates on the book?

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla shakes her head.]

I don't know. I haven't checked. I don't know if they even work outside of the Luceti enclosure, to be honest.

[The Malnosso's technology is impressive, but it has to have its limits.]

[gunkonmyboot]

[One way to find out. Seventeen pulls his book out from his bag to see if it's useful. Of course... his eyes gives it away when he see's one entry.]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla blinks when she sees Seventeen's reaction. Looks like there is something.]

So...um. What did you see?

[gunkonmyboot]

[Seventeen passes the journal to her with the entry open for her to see, or hear.]

A lame joke.

[fashionably_strong]

I don't know whether to be glad that he saved us, or if I want to slap his smug, stupid face.

[She'll go with being glad that they were saved, though. With no dragon balls around, if he's saying death would be permanent, then there'd be no way to get home.]

[gunkonmyboot]

I suppose we should be glad. [Even though someone's trying not to grind their teeth at the moment. This is why it's a lame joke. Granted he was told he will be revived when he gets home and still... lets just say words aren't enough.]

Let's hurry and finish this stupid mission.

[fashionably_strong]

Yeah...the sooner we finish, the sooner we can go home. Well, not real-home, but Luceti-home, where there are showers and comfortable beds.

[It's not a substitute for being truly home, but it's at least comfortable enough to live in.]
