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.

I'm certain you have your fortunes as well.

So, I take it you are not being drafted?

Mm, I'm certainly blessed in love at least.

And no. I'm left to languish here while my skills could be of utmost use elsewhere. Isn't it a shame? Such a waste of talent.

In love...

[Sadly, that is not among Saleh's fortunes...]

Hmm, I suppose so. But the village can't be left defenseless either.

It comes from effort, however. I've noticed so many people here are wallflowers when it comes to that - it's almost sad.

Oh, but what could happen, hm? It's rare that anything ever comes to harm us here.

...That much is true, I suppose.

Unpredictable things can happen here. Do you remember the natural disasters that have occurred here during the drafts?

There isn't much I can do about natural disasters, now is there?

It's been forever since we were attacked, though. It's almost boring.

You can always help people who may be trapped. Or escort the injured to a clinic?

Attacks here may be rare, but we can't count them out entirely.

[Shrug.] I suppose, but most won't accept my help and I'm more inclined to wait to see if their time has come. Force of habit, you see.

...So you'd rather watch people die?

[How appalling.]

That would explain why most won't accept your help...

No, I'd rather watch to see if they are supposed to die. If not, I'll certainly save them if they are worth it.

...How do you tell if they are supposed to die? What does that even mean?

My little secret ability, darling. Everyone comes with an expiry date; but here it sometimes comes more than once.

Expiry date? From natural causes?

Natural, unnatural, untimely - all sorts.
