This post is for the draftee-only portion of the Zompania draft--the day 3 death, time travel to day 1, and then the events until the arrival of the reinforcements. Be sure to use the above info post for any plotting needs you might have. Enjoy!

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.

[He didn't really need it, no. He's already worried he'll be a burden just by existing on the battlefield -- knowing he has the power to help the others but could only further inconvenience them by using it was endlessly frustrating in situations like this.]

No, you're right. I'll just have to try my best not to get in the way. I don't want the rest of you feeling obligated to protect me the whole time we're out here.

Thank you, Ion. [He adjusts his glasses for a moment.] You know, protecting you won't necessarily be detrimental to our forces. To some people, it could provide a necessary focus instead of leaving them with more dangerous tasks. [He glances off in Anise's direction.]

[distressedude]

[He glances off towards Anise as well, though his own thoughts aren't exactly in line with Jade's. He didn't even like the idea of her being out here. It wasn't as though he didn't believe in her strength... but war was different. And if anything happened to her...]

...it's true. I'm sure I could say the same about myself as well. [And it kind of goes without saying that he'll have to watch himself too to make sure he doesn't over do it. It's been a long time since he's seen everyone fight together, after all.]

[yourfononsarewhack]

My, my. [He tries for a light-hearted smile as he looks back towards Ion.] So you're looking into becoming a fon master guardian's guardian?

[He's said most of what he has to say, so perhaps he'll try to lighten Ion's spirits a little at least.]

That's a very bold move, Ion.

[distressedude]

[It may not be enough to be a smile out of him, but the topic is a far more pleasant one than thinking about what just happened.]

She always protected me back on Auldrant. But I wasn't strong enough to do the same for her. Though I don't know if I could say whether I'm any stronger now than I used to be...

[yourfononsarewhack]

I would say that you're stronger. Physically, it's not a very dramatic transformation. But beyond that, this world has had you trapped here for years, Ion. Even with all of the unfortunate circumstances you've had to endure, I'd wager a bet that you've grown stronger by enduring it. In terms of stamina and mental fortitude, I would say that you've made significant progress in catching up to Anise.

[distressedude]

...that means a lot, coming from you, Jade.

[There's even a ghost of a smile on his face -- though slight.]
