A week? But what about the rest of the fighting? You said that this had been going on awhile, right?

[yourfononsarewhack]

You mean the entire war in general? That's a very different story, Anise. [He sighs.]

I'm afraid that it has been raging on, and it seems it's been for quite some time in this world's history. It will go on after this battle ends and we're returned to Luceti, most likely. I may have lived through several wars, but that has only taught me that the nature of war is unpredictable - in when and how they begin as much as when and how they end.

Not to mention... that there's too many unknown variables about the world outside the enclosure. There seems to be much more to the war than what the Malnosso will show us, and until we have more facts, we can't know for sure what the future of this war may look like.

[Anise frowns, taking it all in. It was unsettling, to have the war constantly raging in the background, but what about the bomb? If they made one, they could make another, right? What if they dropped it on the enclosure?]

Hey, if it's so unpredictable, how do we know they won't attack us in the village?

[yourfononsarewhack]

We don't. [He goes straight for honesty.]

In full disclosure, Anise, a number of Cultists were able to infiltrate the enclosure last year. However, we were able to fend them off. Another incident apparently occurred several years ago. [Buffy Summers apparently was the hero of that battle, but she's gone now. One less veteran in Luceti's ranks.]

However, the barrier of Luceti apparently keeps us safe from most of their attacks. The Malnosso also seem to have a number of other fail-safe measures in place so that any direct attacks by the Third Party should be extremely scarce. Regardless, Anise... That's why we must stay sharp and be prepared for emergencies.

Oh...

[That...definitely wasn't comforting. She'd actually really been enjoying it in the enclosure; everything was really peaceful and calm, and it felt like somewhere they could relax without having to worry about fighting all the time. But this draft had definitely been a (rather rude) wakeup call.]

[But, as terrified as she was, she couldn't afford to let it show longer than a few moments. Jade was right, they still weren't clear of the draft yet, and with the possibility that the enclosure could be attacked too, they needed to be in top shape. Even if it sucked. Even if it was unfair.]

[It takes a moment, but her expression does eventually perk back up.]

So we need to beat them so hard they won't come back, right!?

[yourfononsarewhack]

[He grips at his glasses tensely.]

When we can, yes. But overall, our primary objective should be protecting ourselves and each other.
