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.

[He's almost got the door thrown open when he hears her call out. Even if he isn't in the mood to go getting presents, it'd be rude to just ignore her and Haruhi's a friend. Beat grits his teeth and shuts the door with a little more force than necessary,turning around.]

What? I'm sorry, Ribbons, but I ain't in no mood for celebratin' nothin'.

Who's celebrating, moron. Just get over here.

[And she waves him over towards her. That said, she also doesn't stop with the walking over to him. And once she's right up close enough to him to hand something off, she pulls out something which looks like a voodoo doll out of her bag and shoves it into her hand]

[He isn't a moron...!!!! Beat stomps over, ready to tell her as much when she shoves a doll into his hand.

And it just stops all his thought processes. He stares at the doll, then back at Haruhi.]

....what? You wanna play dolls now?

[And then with seriousness in her tone, she hands him a second one. For Rhyme]

They're called Reverse Dolls. If you get hit by something which'll kill you, if you have the doll on you it'll break instead and you'll survive. It only works once though.

[He stares at the dolls in his hands now with a better appreciation of them. He'll give them to Rhyme because he doesn't care if he dies, but she has to come back - no matter what. The whole "it only works one" thing doesn't quite sink in that it'll only work once per person regardless of the number of dolls they have.]

...Thanks, Ribbons. You make 'em?

No, Leon does. [And she smiles a little now, just a bit. To try to be reassuring. It isn't working that much] He's a skilled alchemist, so I have him make things like this.
