[Voice] Shifting Incompability

[unseenspy]

It would seem that I'll be joining the draft after all.

[Normally he'd be feeling confident about it, but the shifting incompatibility unsettles him.]

Perhaps some of you may know what sort of possible effects we'd suffer as a result of this shifting incompatibility. Has this ever happened before?

To my knowledge, we've never actually run into Shifting incompatibility. Sir Catherine has often mentioned it when those eager to fight in the war offered their services, but the incompatibility is why they were rejected. It's rather worrisome that they'll be sending residents in despite this incompatibility, this time.

I see. With "minimum risk," he says. Well, one can only hope that it won't slow us down too much.

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

There's no telling what "minimum risk" may involve... [It could even mean "minimum casualties".]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Even a "minor risk" may be too big of a risk.

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

It very well may be. [...] You'll be careful out there, won't you? Don't place yourself in any immediate danger if it turns out this Shift incompatibility will hinder you in any way.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Of course. There's no need to worry about me.

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Is that so...? [With talk of "minimum risk", how can she not worry? He seems confident enough, though.]

How have you been, Jay?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

As well as can be expected in this place. And you?

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Oh, very well. I've hardly any reasons to complain, aside from the usual issues Luceti provides.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, Jay. Are you going to a party?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[Oh Grune, you and your cluelessness...]

No, I'm going into battle.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, why?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Because the Third Party is causing trouble, and my name was on the last-minute list.

[lostinmyway]

[The look Grune gives you is completely blank.]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[And he'll give you his annoyed stare in return.]

It's a simple concept, really. But for you, endlessly difficult.

[lostinmyway]

[Grune also doesn't get when she's being insulted. Hers is a happy world.]

Do your best, Jay. I'll be cheering you on!

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Oh, Jay!

You got drafted?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

That's right.

[And while she's here, there's a very minor issue he needs to address.]

Listen, you. About what happened before, let's pretend it never happened, all right?

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Oh? But why? It was fun going to lunch, even if I kind of left by accident.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

The whole love thing wasn't supposed to happen. You disappeared before lunch even started, and you never came back.

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

But... I remember we had lunch. Uwaa... we started anyway. But... I just got home a little while ago. What love thing?

Are you feeling okay, Jay? "[[Viki and her time travelling.]]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Yes, we had lunch, but that was two weeks ago. When you disappeared, I didn't see you until later that week, when that willow tree appeared in the plaza.

Of course I'm fine!

[Okay, he's just confused now.]

What are you talking about? Do you remember anything?

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Us-us-usaaaaa? We had lunch LAST WEEK? It's... been a whole week?

Not again...

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

What do you mean "not again?" What are you talking about?

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

I just got here after we had lunch Jay. And a whole week went by... I think I teleported into the future again...

I'm really sorry Jay. You seemed like a really nice guy! We should try to have lunch again!
