lucetilocked | [Locked to Residents]

[After dusk on the evening of the second day, two people approach the entrance to the tunnels. One remains above, casually acting as a lookout, while the other slips into the tunnel once the coast is clear. A short while later, the following typewritten message appears on the journal.

For once, Minato has a lot to say, and the text (and the privacy) are necessary for making sure it works out.]

Hello, Luceti. My name is Minato Arisato. I'm using the secure network for this message.

We know that Kin'cora is just one of the enclosures outside of Luceti. Normally we don't get to see people from outside except on missions. Right now we have a special chance.

I've seen people on both sides getting angry about this situation. But the reality is, we are all on the same side. Every person in an enclosure is kept ignorant by the Malnosso. We still don't know much about what happens in this world beyond the war. Neither do the Kin'corans. And that's our chance. I want to ask everyone to try and befriend as many visitors as you can. They won't be here forever. That means they'll end up in other places. If they know they have people here willing to help them, we'll have the advantage.

Back home, I found power from making connections with strangers I could have ignored. It's the same here. Two enclosures are much stronger than one. We don't know when we might meet the Kin'corans again on a mission. If we do, we can exchange information. But if they are still afraid of us when that happens, they won't help.

I know it won't be easy. But we can't think of this as a problem. This is a chance that we can't waste.

Thanks for reading. If someone else has something to say securely, please go ahead. The Malnosso can't access this posting.

[And so ends the longest thing he's written since coming to Luceti. Maybe no one will listen. Maybe they will. But Minato is confident that something will change. Luceti is full of good people in a bad situation - just as Kin'cora must be. They have the power to work things out.]

...Why's that?

It's not that easy to keysmash in a book and then hit 'send.'

[ Then, after a minute, she adds- ]

In other words, I'll just assume you passed out if you stop responding, so you're never allowed to stop responding to me here.

[But right now he's actually on a computer...

Although she still has a point about hitting 'send.']

That could be a problem eventually.

[ Either way, she'd just say that's what she meant... She's just used to the journals already. ]

It definitely could. I'd have to start a rescue mission and everything and suddenly you'd be surrounded by a swarm of people.

What will happen when I need to go home?

You have to run home within 10 minutes and let everyone know you're home, obviously.

Thanks for giving that long.

I considered marking it down to 5.

You'd spend longer trying to find me.

I've got some pretty smart people, they might be able to figure out how to trace your location!

[ She has no idea if that's even remotely possible. ]
