[Voice, locked to residents] --EMERGENCY--EMERGENCY--EMERGENCY--EMERGENCY--

[malnosso]

[At 2:15AM, the journals suddenly blare out an alarm, followed by this message.]

EMERGENCY. EMERGENCY. This is an emergency.

The following occupants of the Luceti enclosure must report to the teleporters in twenty minutes. You are required as reinforcements in Region 13. Bring all necessary armaments with you. You will be teleported directly into combat.

Anyone who fails to comply will be forcibly escorted to the teleporters by droids.

This is not a drill. I repeat: this is not a drill. You have twenty minutes.

[The message repeats twice more, the alarm continuing until the twenty minutes has elapsed. No questions will be answered.]

[Her clothes are at least made of sturdy fabric and they're designed to allow for freedom of movement. She's acquired a few outfits over the past year that are good for training in while still looking stylish and colour coordinated. If she's going to fight, she wants to look good while doing it, dammit.]

I am. I owe those Third Party creeps a beating and I've been preparing in the Battle Dome.

[gunkonmyboot]

Now you got your chance. [Shrug.] This is my first rodeo so I can't say what to expect from them.

[fashionably_strong]

The Third Party are fanatics. They're a cult and they believe they have to kill every last person in Luceti and in the other enclosures like it. I don't know why exactly, but I think they want to make sacrifices to their god or something.

[Although she's not someone who's eager to harm others, she can accept that it's best to kill members of the Third Party when faced by them.]

I know some people wanted to try reasoning with them...but I got badly hurt by them once. I'm not going to make the mistake of trying to talk things out.

[gunkonmyboot]

[He's not eager just yet either, but hearing this makes him raise an eyebrow. If anything, it just floods in all the Cell stuff before landing here, all those feelings. Disturbing.]

There are some people you can't talk reasons out. [Granted, he has really killed only one person his whole life, and for a good reason.] Sometimes our action has to be ugly too. It's all about staying alive, so let's make sure we get back in one piece.

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla's not at ease with the idea of killing. Her first kill was quite accidental rather than deliberate and in a heated battle. Instead, a perverted and arrogant man pushed her temper a little too far by creeping on her and got rewarded with a slap that was hard enough to coil his neck and spine around like a slinky. She'd felt guilty and anxious about it, having only intended to make his face sting and at worst give him a handprint shaped bruise. Her father's reassurance had helped, but she'd worked after that to be more mindful of her physical strength.

She's more accepting of the idea of killing the Third Party. She knows they'd kill her without hesitation and that they'd even kill people who were powerless to protect themselves. Her friend Quinn comes to mind, as do some of the kids she's seen around the enclosure.]

Yeah... They're the sorts who'd even hurt small children. They'll probably try to kill us on sight. Make sure you aim for their wings.

[gunkonmyboot]

Noted. [Data and all. In other words, they were monsters. He walked closer to Bulla and gave a light pat on the back of the shoulder.] If it get's too much for you, I'll take the load off your shoulder.

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla smiles a bit, appreciating the comforting gesture.]

Thanks. I'm a lot stronger than I look, but you're probably still stronger than me. I'll let you know if I need a hand.

[gunkonmyboot]

Looking forward to it. [His curious pings as well. Did they ever introduce themselves?]

[fashionably_strong]

(ooc: I think they did introduce themselves. If I'm mistaken, we can handwave them knowing that much. And then Seventeen can find out whose daughter Bulla is during the battle thread )



Hopefully we'll be able to deal with the problem pretty quickly in any case.

[Bulla looks thoughtful.]

I think it must be a real emergency if we got woken up with such little notice, though. I haven't been drafted before, but the people who were drafted for the last one got like...two days notice as opposed to twenty minutes.

[gunkonmyboot]

[[ooc; oki doki.]]

[Seventeen tilts his head slightly to one side. He reaches to one ear rubbing his golden hoop earring.] Much as I hate this last minute demand, some of us are curious about this. It's something they couldn't handle, and that says enough.

[fashionably_strong]

Yeah, considering some of the technology they do have. The Battle Dome's technology is pretty impressive, even if the gravity can only go up to ten time's Earth's gravity. Being able to program in Third Party cultists really helped me prepare for dealing with them.

[That's one thing that's keeping her from being completely freaked out about the Draft. Months of practice, including fighting with full power suppression.]

If they're getting overwhelmed...um. Yikes.

[gunkonmyboot]

What are you anyway? [...She could go up to 10 times gravity? Spur of the moment question.]

Still, it's pretty impressive. Maybe I should take a swing on it after this draft.

[fashionably_strong]

[Wow rude Seventeen. Still, she's not too offended. There aren't that many people who can talk casually about ten times Earth's gravity.]

You mean aside from a girl with excellent fashion sense? Half-saiyan.

[gunkonmyboot]

[Come on, even his sister can handle it. That answer, color him surprise.]

The better half. [Well, there's an honest complement to make up at least. Besides, looking at Vegeta and well... he hasn't met Goku yet, but he bet's its still the same.]

[fashionably_strong]

Thank you! As you might have guessed, I take mostly after my mom. Appearance-wise, anyway.

[The only outward physical characteristic she's inherited from her father is shortness. Bulla's barely over 5'0", whereas her mother is 5'6".]

I got the saiyan powers. I never really made much use of them until coming here...but they made gym class at school super-easy.
