selphie_t | 69th Draw = Confusion abound [Voice/Action to those who want it.]

[Selphie's been safely returned from the draft despite the fact that the fighting and sudden shift back into the village has taken every ounce of energy she had in her system right back out. She remembers arriving near the fountain and sitting down before passing out. She remembers someone picking her up but not the name of who had done it. She'll see the sandwich on the bedside table and smiles softly at the gesture. Whoever it was, Selphie owes them a world of thanks for their thoughtfulness.

This incident was approximately fourteen hours ago as Selphie sits up far too quick for her sore and protesting body. She falls back into her bed and lays there for a good half hour or so before taking another, slower shot at moving around. She's stiff as a board from the intensity of the mission as she goes through a series of stretches to help releave some of her discomfort. A couple ibuprofen will further help with aches before a shower and the munching of a sandwich is had.

She settles back into bed as she reaches for her journal. She knows that she's tired and overdid it in every way possible but the perky brunette doesn't regret her actions in the least. She doesn't have a clue where Ceodore is but sincerely hopes that he's okay. Between him and Archie, they've given her quite the scare and the look on her face shows it plainly. She doesn't bother hiding it behind a faked smile this time. Selphie doesn't like it in the least but she knows that there's nothing to be done about it.]

So tired... I'll be going back to sleep soon.

Has everybody made it back to the village okay? How're things in the village right now? And... who brought me home? Thank you to whoever you are.

Now then... can somone tell me where Archie, Ceodore and Mister Hornblower have wound up?

And uh... if anybody decides to come calling, you'll have to let yourself in. Community Building 3, first floor, room four. Just... ignore the mess right now.

Right... anywho... time for some more sleep. I'm bushed.

[Papaderp panicking is starting to make Selphie regret ever bringing this up but she knows that he has a right to know. She shakes her head but can't seem to bring herself to answer.]

...The Malnosso must have known such weapons would be used. Yet they sent civilians to face them? What were they thinking?

[Luckily, he's pretty good at redirecting his panic.]

They weren't thinking.

[They never think about anyone in the village.]

...Of course not. They care little if we die, do they? In fact, that might even be their goal.

[...Slightly too good at redirecting.]

[And very good at making Selphie uncomfortable. Her arms fold on the table before she's resting her head on them.]

[He can't keep it up for very long, at least. All the stress of the recent days has left him tired.]

...Those bullets. Are there spells to avoid them? Any way at all?

[Selphie nods slowly.]

Haste mainly. Spells like Shell and Protect will make sure that less damage is made but other than that... it's all a matter of luck.

All spells I cannot cast, of course. You might want to give Ceodore that information before the next draft.

I will. His Armor should deflect the blow too.

Not nearly enough, it seems. He'll need a new one soon.

He left the heavy armor back in the village...

Deliberately, or because he had no time to take it?

We were on board a boat for three days. If he'd been knocked off deck, he would've drowned.

The waves would have been strong enough to bring him to the closest shore...

[Not without plot armor, Cecil dear.]

[Selphie shakes her head adamantly.]

...Then again, normal waves would not be as strong as ones caused by Leviathan.

The summon?

[He nods.]

He attacked our ship, once. I woke up hours later on a beach, armor and all, and everyone else was also spread all over the planet.

Uh... I don't think it would've worked like that...

Ocean currents have ways to surprise you. Though I have to admit I was quite lucky; none of my swords rusted.

Uh... nevermind.

[He doesn't get it.]

But if those bullets are so powerful, could we not use them ourselves against the Third Party?

[Noooooope.]

Do you know to use a gun?

I cannot, but I doubt it'd be impossible to learn. Is it much more complicated than using a bow?

Much more complicated than using a bow.
