[Action/Voice] 013

[Alexei was finally returning from his mission today, unaware of what's been going on the last two weeks he had missed. He knew of a draft, but that was about it.

He'll definitely be asking around what he's missed, but first he's going to go and grab himself a seat at the Good Spirits Bar for a drink. He could use one or two of them right now.

It's there that he'll flip open his journal, vaguely gathering what people were even talking about before closing it. He decides to ask whomever was nearest to him. Could be the bartender or could be just another customer.]

Has anything been happening the last two weeks?

[Once he's had his fill of information-- and a bit of alcohol, he'll go back to the journal again and...start complaining about various things into it.]

You would think that if the Malnosso can manage to take us off this planet, they could get us all home.

It would seem so, wouldn't it? [Something about the tone, despite its calm, gives some added meaning to the words.]

So the question becomes, why haven't they? [She's never fully believed the Malnosso's promises. Any of them.]

Most likely because we still have some use to them. It's the only reason I can think of.

[There's a pause as he takes another drink.] Perhaps others were sent home, because they were useless for their war.

However, we've seen all types of people leave, even people who are skilled and powerful warriors, with a lot of experience. Why send them away, and keep some of the children so long?

Children could easily be trained for labor. You'd have to ask them about what they're looking for. Maybe it is done at random and there is no system to it.

[Oh hay, Alexei. Vivi may not actually remember you right now, but that won't stop her from answering your first question. BECAUSE SHE CAN.]

There was a big storm!

[...and Alexei stares into the journal because he sure recognizes her but-]

You're younger now. I thought you were older...[He seems to forget for a moment Luceti can do that]

[She tilts her head slightly, giving him an odd look. That's a weird thing to say.]

I am older. I'm six! [As opposed to, you know. Five.]

[...]

All right, six. [Not the number he's thinking but...eh.] You said there was a storm?

Why would getting people off the planet mean they can get people home?

They have the technology to leave this planet.

Yeah and Earth developed it back when we thought smoking was healthy and could barely manage a telephone - before home computers even existed. Do you have any idea how big space is?

[...] What is a telephone? [Yea, what was your question again?]

Even if they had the technology, I doubt they would be willing to release us anytime soon.

I'm sure they've always had the technology, they're just very selective of who they send home.

But all of us at once? At the rate things have been going, it isn't likely.

Of course not. We're still tools for their war. [...Haha, tools. Funny]

That would require things to be logical here for once.

[ there might be a hint of annoyance in the boy's voice, but it's mostly complete apathy, maybe even making him sound like he's bored. ]

[Hah.] And that would just make things too easy. Despite how predictable events can be here, they certainly like to keep us guessing.

Do you think they find it entertaining or something like that to do that to us?

[why is he talking to you this is awkward -

oh yeah he has nothing better to do.]

Space travel's easier than world travel, I guess.

[...O-Oh. It's not-son.

...

This will be easier to deal with than last time, hopefully]

...I suppose, if the world visiting experiment we had was something to go by.

[Luceti keeps throwing them together anyway, he may as well go along with it.]

Just getting off the planet doesn't mean you can get anywhere. And there's apparently no stars up there to go to anyway, right?

[OKAY THEN NEPHRY IS IN THE BAR.

Because life's been rough, or something. No, not really, it's because she enjoys the occasional glass of wine and wanted to get out of her house for a little while.

Besides, someone she wants to discuss things with is already here. Asking...a surprising question.]

It might be better to ask what hasn't happened.

[Oh, hey Nephry. Your company is welcomed and...don't mind his odd question, he's been gone for a while]

Seeing as this place hasn't gone to ruins, I can assume the draft went well. I've been away from the village the last two weeks on a different mission.

Those who were drafted seem to think so. ...But we did go to ruins, for a little while. There was a very bad storm.
