[malnosso]

Oh ho! My, it's been some time, hasn't it?

As I'm sure you've all noticed, things have been going so smoothly. Hm, well, for you anyway. Things have been so busy here! I'd forget my hat were it not on my head. Oh, but yes, I do believe we'll have your population down to half in no time. Exceptionally good luck all around. Ah ha! If only I could take all the credit for myself.

Now then, I believe there was another order of business I had to- aha, here we are. Yes, the calculations have been run and we've determined a final list for who will be participating in the coming battle. You will all be scheduled to depart on the 25th, by your calendar. Hm, that should give you all a week to prepare. Very short notice, I do hope you can all forgive me! My, things have been so busy here. I had to replace my secretary after she too vanished.

I have the list for you here. I do believe that should be everyone. Why, with such fine and cunning fellows being sent, this 'Third Party' won't stand a chance. Best of luck to everyone! You have my eternal gratitude for volunteering yourselves such as you have.

Yes, I do believe we should all celebrate with a bit of tea once those rude fellows have been run off. Aha, but I don't suppose anyone has heard anymore from this mysterious "ANI" woman? I think we'd get along splendidly, given the chance.

A word, if you please.

[malnosso]

Oh! Why yes, of course. I shall be over right away!

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[Looking through that list and-] WHAT!? I'm not going!

[Voice]

[malnosso]

Oh, you're not? How dreadfully disappoint. Are you certain you won't change your mind?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

You call looking in your journal to find porn in the morning running smoothly?

[Filtered]

[malnosso]

Oh dear, you haven't been doing that, have you? I don't believe that's appropriate behavior at all.

[herotypical]

So, is this the appropriate time to start asking for shiny things?

[Someone sounds exceptionally content with something. Hint: she'll be glad to share the field with a certain familiar vamp.]

[malnosso]

Things are a bit busy here, but I do believe that, yes, I could pass along certain items.

[all7seas]

Anytime you want to send Captain Jack home, boyo--anytime. I'm ready.

[malnosso]

Certainly! We're doing our best to do so.

[univalent.livejournal.com]

It's about bloody time.

[ it's not just the chance to kill things - though there is that - but who he'll be fighting beside that has him sounding so upbeat. ]

[malnosso]

Why yes, yes it. I'm certain you'll make us all proud!

[ Xion doesn't like to check these lists. She's afraid of what she'll see.

And her fears are very, very confirmed when she finally does get a look at this. Brook, Usopp, and Sokka... no, no, no. Softly and very unhappily: ]

Do they really have to go?

[voice]

[malnosso]

I do hope they'll do so. But I wouldn't think of sending anyone out there who did not want to do so.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I'll be there the moment we're able to leave.

[Written]

[malnosso]

Such promptness! Thank you!

[a-childish-lord.livejournal.com]

...Why am I going?

[malnosso]

Because you're on the list, of course. One amongst our volunteers.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Wait, I never signed up for this! I don't want to go!

[Voice]

[malnosso]

Are you certain? Your talents would be very useful out there, I'm sure.

[Voice]

[bushido-blade.livejournal.com]

Hmmph. You consider this 'volunteering?

[Voice]

[malnosso]

Of course, I wouldn't think of forcing anyone to go, good sir.

[Voice]

[shrouded-reaper.livejournal.com]

I've got nothing better to do. Guess I'll go.

[Voice]

[malnosso]

Oh, why thank you. I'm certain you will be a great asset to your comrades.

[Voice]

[lookslikeajob.livejournal.com]

... I don't kill. If knocking them unconscious will suffice, though, I'll go.

[Voice]

[malnosso]

Oh my, that should be sufficient. I'm afraid they won't offer the same courtesy to you and your fellows.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

...Smoothly indeed.

[Sigh sigh sigh. He had been hoping to do this with as much of the original draft list available as possible, but... Well. He'll make do.]

[voice]

[malnosso]

Mostly smoothly, I should say.

[Voice]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

So be it.

[Voice]

[malnosso]

Thank you! I'm so glad you've agreed.

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

[ Say what now. ]

OI, WHAT THE HELL KIND OF DEFINITION DO YOU HAVE FOR VOLUNTEERING?

[malnosso]

Well, I don't have my dictionary on hand. But I should say it means one choosing to act of their own volition. Would you not agree?

[death-orange.livejournal.com]

I'll fight for the people who can't. Not for you.


....Did you send those other people home? The ones who vanished?

[malnosso]

That should be enough. You have my gratitude, in any case.

Oh, certainly! I cannot take entirely all the credit, of course. I did my part, though.

[Forward-dated to July 24, early morning]

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

[A few days later, once he no longer has to maintain journal silence and finally has the chance to take a proper look at this announcement:]

That is quite the list that you have there. Much longer than the one of a few months ago with the first batch of recruits you lot sent out, if I am recalling it properly.

[ He's fought in a war before - THIS RARELY IMPLIES GOOD THINGS, FROM HIS EXPERIENCE. 8| ]

[malnosso]

[Poor Bil will regard this even later, busy such that he is.]

Ah, yes. Much longer, I should say. We weren't nearly so fortunate the first time around.

[not-klonoa.livejournal.com]

[Oh, you're very lucky Presea glanced into her journal today. Seeing it was from the Malnosso, she actually read through, and saw her name on the list of draftees.

...Yeah, no. That's not gonna fly. Not now, at least, when she has someone to take care of.]

Request to join drafted party...denied.

[malnosso]

Ah, very well. That is your choice, naturally.

[SO filtered]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

What have you done with him? I'll fucking kill you.

[iltered]

[malnosso]

Oh my! I must ask you to calm down sir. Yelling like that is just rude.

What have I done with who?

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

So. Looks like the time's come. You got my Su-37 and various ordinance packages prepared? Depending on the topography and mission objectives, I may have to request a second aircraft as well.

[malnosso]

Oh, certainly. It took some doing, but I am certain it should fit your specifications.

[gan-ceann.livejournal.com]

[that list... hm.]

I hear you're able to get us items if we ask.

[malnosso]

Oh yes, certainly. It's the least I can do, after all.

[So Very Very Filtered]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

I don't recall volunteering for this operation.

...But we may be able to cut some sort of deal.

[Filtered]

[malnosso]

Oh, but I do hope you will. I'm certain your talents would be must useful.

[Voice]

[13th_captain]

Heh... took you long enough.

[Voice]

[malnosso]

Did I? I shall endeavor to be more timely in the future.

[Voice]

[screw-the-rules.livejournal.com]

You'd better not be dragging kids into this shit again.

[malnosso]

Oh, I'd certainly hope not.
