[Voice, Locked to Residents]

[malnosso]

[At approximately 4AM in the morning of the 25th, the journals will suddenly blare with the sound of an alarm, followed quickly by this message:]

Attention, Region Six. This is an emergency. The following occupants are required to report to the teleporters in one hour to act as a reserve force for an unscheduled battle located in Region Eleven, designation Vaskoth.

[A list of names is posted.]

Those who refuse will be forcibly dragged, and we take no responsibility for any injuries obtained should that happen. Anyone not summoned will not be accepted, either as additional forces or as replacements for someone else. Weaponry and equipment not native to this world is incompatible with the nature of your location, and will therefore not be permitted. Suitable replacements may be available to you at your destination. You will rendezvous with Specialist Davis upon arrival, and he will direct you from there.

I repeat, you have one hour. Don't waste your preparation time with pointless questions. Get moving.


[ooc: as stated, the commandant won't answer willy-nilly, so this post can be used for draft prep if you want! Also the full draft details a HERE, for anyone who missed it!]

[You know who isn't happy to be woken up? This bright pink pony, who happened to have spent the night before sneaking around the village and giving people surprise cupcakes. You need a lot of rest after that, man!]

Heeey! If they were going to make an unscheduled announcement, they could at least tell us first!

[Voice]

[thefinaljedi]

[...Pinkie Pie was going too?]

They aren't very nice, I'm afraid. Pinkie, I want you to be careful when we arrive, ok?

[brokethefourthwall]

Okie dokie lokie. [She giggles.]

It should be fun getting to see another village, though! This is the only place I've ever seen with hue-mans in it. What do you think they'll have over there? Ooh! Maybe they're all cows! Or giant plates of walking spaghetti! Mmm.

[thefinaljedi]

I hope so, my little friend.

[Luke laughs at her enthusiasm]

You never know, with this place, but I would imagine they'd not ask us to fight if it was something so easily dealt with.

[brokethefourthwall]

That just gives us more of an opportunity to make friends!

[thefinaljedi]

I certainly hope so.

[By the Force, Pinkie. You are too much chipper for one Jedi to handle. But he really wants to make sure she doesn't get hurt...so into General Skywalker mode...]

Say, are you any good at cooking? Because I think the troops are going to need a lot of sugar to keep going during the fight.

[brokethefourthwall]

Does Gummy like punch? [The answer is yes. Very much so.]

An hour isn't very long to try and bake any sweets, though.

[thefinaljedi]

No, but maybe you can get some supplies together to make food and drinks for everyone when we arrive? We may be gone for a while.

[brokethefourthwall]

Good idea. I'll make sure everypony has a full belly and a happy heart!

[thefinaljedi]

Thanks, Pinkie. We're going to need it.

And when we get back, I'll make you a special sweet snack from my world if you're good and stay out of danger, ok?

[Voice]

[keystoneheart]

...that's the point of an unscheduled announcement. They don't tell you until it happens.

[brokethefourthwall]

Then they should at least wait until everypony wakes up.

[keystoneheart]

I guess it was too important to wait until then. They want people to fight, so they need an immediate response.

[brokethefourthwall]

Good thing I still have some cappuccino cupcakes left over, then. They really put a zip in your step!

[And if anyone needs that zip, it's assuredly Pinkie.]

[keystoneheart]

Cappuccino...cupcakes?

(Forgive him; pastries aren't really his thing. Or coffee.)

[brokethefourthwall]

Yeah! They're cupcakes made with coffee beans, with whipped cream icing. They're super yummy, and really wake you up.

[keystoneheart]

That so? Sounds really sweet.

(And probably more to Ven's likings than Terra's.)

[fleurdesel]

Oh Pinkie Dear....

[Not a child, but not someone she wanted to see exposed to war.]

Stay with me in the clinic when we arrive? A battleground is no place for a pony.

[brokethefourthwall]

Aww, Dellie! I wanted to go sightseeing!

[fleurdesel]

It will be dangerous Pinkie. Please. I do not want you to be hurt.

[brokethefourthwall]

Okie dokie lokie... [There's a pout to her voice. She's never seen a human town before. Let her explore, pleeeease?]

[fleurdesel]

...if you must explore, do not go alone, and remain close to whatever clinic or hospital we end up working in. Alright?

[brokethefourthwall]

[Gasp!] Great! I'll see the sights, and make new friends, and bake cupcakes. Lots and lots of cupcakes. It'll be like a vacation!

[fleurdesel]

Not too many friends, Pinkie. Not everyone you meet there will be friendly. Some may be mean, or violent. Their wings will be larger than ours, much larger. Promise me you will avoid these people.

[brokethefourthwall]

If you say so, Dellie, then okay, Pinkie promise.

[Normally, she would never avoid anyone on purpose, but if Adele thinks it's a bad idea, then she'll listen.]
