voice. [locked to residents]

 [It's been almost two weeks since the mission, and Kotetsu's barely managed to hold himself together during that time; a royal mess, you'd say. But with the arrival of Kaede and the underlying truth that, eventually, it'd be brought up... He decides he'll put his two cents out there.] 

... A while ago, me and a buncha' others went on a mission. It was s'pposed to be a pretty normal thing; I mean, routine stuff. But then, we were attacked... and things got a little fuzzy and crazier than it should've. [A pause, as he considers what to say. How to say it. Maybe he shoulda' picked out someone who was better at words or... hell, even wrote down what he was planning to say. As it is, he's sitting here with a few bullet points scribbled out, itching his head.]

From what everyone could tell, it was a band of dream shifters, like the kind people fought before. And that General Ass--... guy was in there, too. I met him in a dream, and he basically helped to get me out of it. Like he did for other people. It's pretty confusing, you know? That he'd help us out. But he told me... before everything got hard to keep track of, he told me that...

[He massages his temple, trying to remember the exact words.]

He said they wanted to offer us to the planet. Some--special hour, or something. That his people had a bigger plan for us. Said he'd kill me right where I was if it wasn't for everything else goin' on. Tch, he was basically just a confusing bastard. But what I could tell was that there were people like him--those third party fellas--that weren't on his side. Dream guys who wanted him to go down, because he was just as stuck as we were by the looks of it. Or else he'd just let us all die and be on his way, right? 

And--! (shi-) [flipping over a paper, one sec] He said something about.... Shamans...? That things don't stay dead without 'em. He was looking for one while we were stuck there.

[There's a hushed silence. Sounding pretty uncool there Kaburagi. Try to at least sound like you know exactly what to include.]

I, uh, don't know what else I should add. It was all a pretty big blur, but I figured... the malnosso tried to get me to talk about it, but I figured it'd be better off here. The people who were there can also add some stuff here. Leave the line open for all the stuff they can--contribute? [is that a decent way of phrasing it] Or if anyone has any questions I'll try my best to answer 'em. I think this info is just as much yours as it is anyone there. The others probably got things more thought-out than me... so...

Alright.

[OKAY I'M GOOD

I'LL JUST

STOP HERE

because talking in length about this frustrating shit is too much]


((ooc: basically a free-for-all, especially for anyone who has anything to offer from the mission! I figured we could have this up even without everything threaded out, can add replies as we go? go for the stars, n' stuff. :|))

No, that's what I mean- he was there, during the attack. Then... apparently, everyone blacked out. [ She swallows, but after a beat of thought: ] He was attacked with us.

Ah, okay. So he attacked you first. And then during the attack everyone blacked out, probably because of the shifters. Do I have that right?

Hm, I wonder then; if he was their main target or you guys were. Thanks. I'm very glad you're all alright.
changethepast: (it doesn't get easy)

Yeah. [ There's relief at first, but then a pause as she sighs slowly, considering his questions- as rhetorical as they may be. ] I don't really know much about this kind of thing... I'm still pretty new here.

... But... I got the impression we were more interesting to him, but that he was more interesting to them. If that makes sense.

Hm, it's something to think on at least. How much this new fraction could pose as a threat to us.

I don't know...

[ Her voice is far softer this time, as her conviction to continue replying, continue thinking this through, finally begins to fade out on her. She never wanted a part of this, that's for sure.

But, even if it hurts, she has to help any way she can. Unselfishness is in her blood. ]

That's okay. It may not be something we'll not for sure until the next time we meet up with them.

Don't beat yourself up over what happened, alright? Sounds like it all turned out alright in the end.

Right...

[ And that's all she offers; when normally she's all about carrying conversations to the point where the NPCs start repeating themselves their end in as smooth a fashion as possible, she's done here. Without another word, she just simply and quietly closes her journal. ]
