[Desert Fort Reconstruction Volunteers filter]

Now that everyone recruited by the Malnosso has been returned from the battlefield, I intend to leave for the desert fort tomorrow morning. We'll meet by the fountain at the village square and if you don't show by noon, you get left behind. Our teleportation mage, Erim, will transport us all to the fort in one trip, along with any supplies we may need. If there are certain personal belongings you absolutely can't go without, bring them along, but I won't stand for any useless luggage. Make sure to dress appropriately. It may be raining in the village, but the desert will obviously ensure a change in climate.

If you have any objections, let me know in a timely manner. We should get this over with before another experiment prevents us from even setting foot outside the village.

I'm leaving the village for a few days. I trust you not to burn the house down while I'm away.

[And for anyone else interested, Yuan's slowly making his way through the village. He just got back from being drafted and despite stocking up on healing gels while he was at his Malnosso-provided apartment, it's not too hard to tell he's a bit ragged. His shoulder's moving oddly too. Though all in all, it was a nice fight out there and he's proud of the results. He kicked some Third Party ass and lived through it.

He's headed for the Welcome Center, but feel free to intercept him along the way.]

Indeed, confidence is one of the most important things. The desire to win is what keeps us going, even with the odds stacked against us.

[fortunefail]

That said, are you considering offering yourself up as a volunteer if the Malnosso decide to send some of us out there again?

[Action]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I've already volunteered.

[He loves to surprise people, knowing how skilled he is in battle despite his short and scrawny appearance.]

[Action]

[fortunefail]

[Oh, Yuan definitely won't underestimate short, scrawny people. Especially not after he got his ass kicked by Mithos.]

Is that so? Just remember that there's a difference between confidence and overconfidence.

[Action]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I am well aware of that.

[After all, Jay always backs up his confidence. He's not one to rush blindly into battle. He applies his skills as a strategist both on and off the battlefield.]

[Action]

[fortunefail]

[No need to be so touchy about it, Jay. Yuan's just making sure you don't run off and get yourself killed. The response causes him to give Jay somewhat of a wry smirk.]

Very well, then. I'll wish you luck.

[Hey, telling him things he already knows is like an insult to his intelligence, and he doesn't like that. But moving on...]

Thank you. We should definitely go over the details of the battle later, if you don't mind.

[Action]

[fortunefail]

[Not a quitter, eh Jay? Yuan expected no less.]

What sort of details are you looking for?

[Action]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

The battle tactics of the enemy, their powers and weaknesses, any other relevant information you may have learned out there. The more, the better.

[action]

[fortunefail]

Fine, but it won't be this week. If all goes well, I'll be leaving the village for a short while.

[action]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. Just contact me when you're ready.

[action]

[fortunefail]

I will. If that's all...

[Yup, he's going to try and keep walking, now.]

[action]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's all. Bye now.

[And he'll turn and walk in the opposite direction.]
