[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.]

[She knows quite well actually.] You might be surprised, until you actually use what you've learned, you never know if you'll be good or not, and if you still need more practice, well, you'll still need more practice! You'll get better at something with time and experience, and that goes with anything, but sometimes, you may need a little help along the way. I know I did at some point, though I'm not sure what it's like for a medic, I don't really know much of anything at all about patching up battle wounds, with either magic or bandages. [This is all said in a rather encouraging tone, hopefully Karis can help wash away a bit of doubt that Pilouette has.]

[Pilouette smiles a little and nods.]

Y-Yeah, that makes sense. I think I'll always need to practice it, but I've gotten a little better than I was a year ago, I think. I don't have to ask for help as much more. [She lets out a sheepish little laugh.] I think it's because I like, have a really good teacher, though. If it wasn't for her, I don't think I'd have gotten as far as I have.

[spellfeather]

Who doesn't need to still practice something important? [Practice makes perfect after all.]

I know exactly how it is when it comes to having a good teacher. I know way back, when I was still just a kid, I had to get tutoring because of how so far behind I was compared to all the other kids. [Karis can't help but grin.] So in that sense, you are I were in the same boat at one point in time.

[Pilouette forgets sometimes that other people have been where she is, skill-wise, and it's kind of nice to be reminded of that. It especially helps that it's coming from someone who seems so cool-headed in the face of the draft.]

Maybe if I work hard enough, I'll be able to help people learn first aid someday...

[Pilouette laughs quietly. She's only half-serious, really. No matter how much she studied, she's not sure she would trust herself to really teach anyone anything important.]<.small>

[spellfeather]

So long as there are people willing to learn...that someday might come sooner than you think. [Karis grins as she scratches the back of her head.] Though it'll be rather nerve wracking if you're not exactly used to teaching others.

[ribbonbon]

Yeah...Like, the idea of teaching people anything does kind of make me nervous. Maybe it's a better idea if I don't... [She frowns thoughtfully.] Besides, like, I have to concentrate on doing what I can on this draft before I start thinking about stuff like that, I think.
