Attention Luceti Residents.

The following names are being called to participate in a strike against the cultist hordes:
[the names listed here appear on the journal.]

All subjects are required to arrive at the tunnels at 8AM on the 27th of March for deployment. All listed individuals are required to be present. Subjects will then be escorted to TERRACE for battle preparation and further details.

Target will be Region One, a former Malnosso stronghold, presently in cultist hands. Subjects are advised to prepare for combat in forested areas. Further information will be made available at TERRACE. Questions and answers will not be provided at this time.

Aren't they the ones that have locked us in here though? Aren't they supposed to be the bad guys?

They're also the ones who provide the houses, food, clothing, and supplies we use every day. And they're the ones who, according to other people, want to find a way to send us home eventually.

Re: Voice

[thisismylife]

I thought they already had that capability. People get sent home now, don't they?

Voice

[shenevermisses]

Randomly. They want to be able to do it on command, to actually send us home. Rather than the coming and going we see, where it can happen at any time and without warning.

At least, that's what we've been told.

Might not be true, but I'd rather work with them than against them. Better chance of getting to stay here if they do figure out to send other people home.

Re: Voice

[thisismylife]

[That's even more surprising.] You don't want to go home?

Voice

[shenevermisses]

I can't go home.

Re: Voice

[thisismylife]

Can't? [That's a new one, and it doesn't really clear up Artemis' confusion.] Why not?

Voice

[shenevermisses]

I'm one of at least a few, probably several, people who died in their worlds before they came here. We're fairly common around.

Re: Voice

[thisismylife]

You... [Oh. Crap.] Uhh. Sorry?

Voice

[shenevermisses]

It's what happened. There's nothing to be sorry about.

Re: Voice

[thisismylife]

[Except, apparently, she was dead.] It still kinda sucks, though. I guess I... can't really blame you for wanting to cooperate with the Malnosso then, and figure out a way to stay here.

They need fighters, I want to stay here. Figure they might keep me if I prove useful.
