[Locked to Residents]

[Appearing on the journals is a written message as follows. A voice option is provided for a computerized reading of the text.]

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.

[The Malnosso will not reply to this message, but everyone is free to use this post to discuss among themselves, whether using voice options on the journal or doing action threads.]

Uh, it contributes, I think. Plenty of pure humans have magic though. But nearly my whole family have been mages for as long as anyone can remember.

Then all evidence points to that fact. It's like my own powers. Something hereditary.

It does seem that way. So the rest of your family can uh... transform? [He couldn't think of a better way of putting it.]

No, I'm...well...it's complicated but I'm bound to a different sort of family. They can. My grandpa can't.

Right... I can sympathise with complicated family. Trust me. We should start a club or something.

Perhaps we should.

[Sip...]

So are you going in uniform?

Uh... [He blushes a little and glances down at what he's wearing. Trying it out for size, for comfort, since fighting is different to formal events.]

I don't know. It seems appropriate somehow. I've never worn it to fight in before.

It's certainly not the most...mobile of outfits.

[Says the girl who fights in heels and a miniskirt]

It's not too bad actually. I mean, it is military gear, or closely based on it. Gives a bit more protection than jeans and a t-shirt too.

If you say so, Max-san.

[She doesn't exactly sound convinced]

Stick near me. I'll do what I can to keep you safe, and I trust you at my back.

It's what mages in the Commonwealth wear to war. Has to have some merits.

[He gives a serious nod at that. He appreciates the offer.]

I'm glad. I'll do my best.

[English...

But she offers her hand.]

I know you will.

[He takes her hand for a moment, squeezing it gently.]

Maybe I'll come back with a couple of manly scars. The ladies will be all over me.

[Because if he doesn't think of the serious side, it makes it a little easier to not panic.]

[Rei rolls her eyes]

Don't be stupid. No lady wants a scarred man.

You sure? Scars can be hot. Seen enough films to know that.

[He's teasing, mostly.]

Maybe to you. But you aren't a lady, are you?

That is true. I am not a lady.

I thought girls went for the ruggedly handsome thing.

[Rei blurts out quickly]

I don't like boys.

[Oops...]

[Max blinks because oh... that was not quite the direction he'd expected this conversation to take but... he shrugs.]

Oh, okay.

...so if I need advice on whether a scar looks hot on me I'll just ask Jack.

[-blink-blink-

Did I just...

Wait.

Did.

I.

Rei turns beet-red]

I...um.

[Shit, how...do I...]

[Oh... oh hell, that reaction. That was not just confessing to a friend, was it?

He smiles a little more gently.]

It's okay, Rei. I'm not horrified or anything.

N-no. I didn't think you would be.

[She's just...never quite said it out loud]

Um. It just came out. Sorry.

[He smiles wryly at that and nods.]

Yeah. Stuff like this has a way of slipping out. Trust me, I know.

Do you?

[She...asks that in a rather quiet voice.]

Yeah. I really do. I seem to have been blurting a lot of things recently.

[He speaks more quietly next.]

I like men too, y'know?
