[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.]

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Oh, Jay!

You got drafted?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Oh bother. So you've become as complacent here as everyone else.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

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

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

[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?

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Complacent? Oh, no, I wouldn't call it that. I'm happy. It's true that this place has many hardships and needs improvement, but there's no such thing as a perfect life. Looking at the things I have now, the friends I've made... I feel truly blessed.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Of course there's no such thing as a perfect life...

[But he had just begun to feel blessed on the Legacy...until he wound up here. But blessed or not, one thing was for certain.]

But this...this is not where we belong...

[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.]]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

... That is true. When the time comes to return to my rightful place, I will accept it. Still, until then, I see no reason to spend all my time moping. Such a thing never does anyone any good.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Well, no, but...

[It's not like anything else they do does them any good either. So why bother?]
