Man, why does she have to be gone when things get exciting...?

[Bleh. Zack's feeling bummed and alone while Aerith's kidnapped, so~ distractions go.]

So what kind of cool stuff did you guys get from the Malnosso? Anybody get a working cell phone? Can't find a signal anywhere.

[Locked from the usual bad guys]

Okay, the real reason for this is that... well, Cloud and I were talking, and something came up that we think should be dealt with before another fight outside the barrier starts up. I don't know why the Malnosso wants to send kids over there, but I think it's important that we organize some kind of defense for 'em if it happens again. If some of you hero-types agree to buddy up with the kids that get sent over, they'd be safer, right? They'd at least have someone watching their backs.

I know some of you younger guys probably think you're strong and can handle anything, and that's fine, but... well, I don't really think it's right for kids to be killing people, and I don't want to see any of you die, either.

Designating a part of each task force to protecting civilians sounds like the right idea. I'd be best out on the battlefield, but if it came to it, I'd be willing to hold back and keep them safe.

Awesome! Thanks for volunteering, even just saying you're available is a big help.

[goldenglasses]

Seeing as they don't seem to take no as an answer, if I ever get sent out there I'll be sure to keep an eye on any kids that get sent with me. Considering how random the draft choices were I'm not sure how much organizing can really be planned.

[wingenvy]

Well, if we convince a whole bunch of people to agree to help out if they're sent over, then chances are somebody will be in the group who can help any kids they send with 'em!

[wishesofdestiny.livejournal.com]

I agree it would be good for the children, but a buddy system of some sort should be implemented for all who go.

[wingenvy]

That's true, too. Maybe once we start getting things organized we could make it a village-wide thing. Or when the lists get released, everybody can pick a partner or two and stay together.

[trueknight]

Good idea. Whenever they send me out there, I'll keep an eye out for anyone stuck somewhere they shouldn't be, too.

[wingenvy]

Thanks, Yuri! Luceti can always count on Brave Vesperia, right?

[He waves his phone at the camera thing in the journal-] There's no cell tower, of course that's the case.

[Voice]

[wingenvy]

Huh? You need towers for phones where you're from?

[chaincutter]

If I am there, I will stay close to them. I promise nothing more.

If I'm ever sent outside the barrier, I'll gladly volunteer to watch over any children sent. They shouldn't be out there anyway, but since we have no control over that...at least we can try to protect them.

[wingenvy]

Yeah, I agree. Thanks for volunteering! Can I have your name?

[chikyu-sakura.livejournal.com]

I'll help however I can...

[wingenvy]

Oh, Kasumi, right? Thanks, that helps!

I'd agree, but. . . in some worlds, age doesn't make much difference. Not all of us should be counted out.

Is there any way to get people to rank according to strength instead? That way, people could keep safe, partnering by rank if they're sent.

[Filtered]

[wingenvy]

Like I said, I'm sure there are some strong kids around here, but... well, y'know. How many kids are fine with being sent out into a war to kill people?

You mean like people hooking up with the same rank of strength?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

They'd certainly be wasting a lot of manpower if they send people who can't fight. Not only will they be useless, but the fighters won't be able to focus on the battle at hand if they're too busy protecting these civilians.

[wingenvy]

That's a pretty cold way of looking at it, man.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

... You don't think they'll do that again, do you? [At least, he himself hopes not. He may not have done much fighting, but thinking about how other kids might be brought out there is...]

[wingenvy]

I dunno. That's why it's important for us to be prepared.

[wingenvy]

Thanks for the offer! Can I get your name?
