[Aboard the moving buildings of the Exodus, talking to herself]

'Combat Instructor' again, huh?

[Calvina wraps her jacket up a little tighter and looks out across the Siberian permafrost from her vantage point.]

Everyone on this 'exodus' is a civilian...they want to know how to fight because they have to. No, they chose to. Throwing themselves out in the world like this, and asking me of all people to help hold them up? They don't even know what they're getting into. Even the 'volunteers'.

Tch. Well, at least the pay's good, and they're sticking around with my room and board...

It's my Overman, first of all, lady. I'm the best pilot for it.

And I can't go home when the Exodus brought it along without permission! I'm not the only person that got taken from the Domepolis without asking!

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

If it's your Overman, it's your responsibility to use it to help people.

As for getting brought along, well, sorry, but that's democracy for you.

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

[[You're not the only one to put that on him, so sayeth the Five Wise Men, and his school crush, and the Exodus specialist... Feel free to pile it on!]]

Democracy? I highly doubt people just voted on this! Who would vote to be taken away from a perfectly normal life to get to somewhere that's impossible to live!

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

It could be worse. You could be moving to space.

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

At least you can live up there. In those colonies, right? Yapon is just hopeless.

[[He's probably NOT up to date... Oh you silly, silly Domepoli...]]

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

I think we've pretty much proven humans can live anywhere at this point, really. And anyway, would you rather be alone back in the empty dome you guys came from?

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

Yes. I would rather be home where things are stable and normal, instead of running around in the wilderness going to somewhere completely unmanageable and barbaric.

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

Well...too bad.

Anyway, I approve the patrol schedules here, so I say you're still on.

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

Whatever...

Why did you even put me on the schedule...

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

That was Dan. I just sign them because Dan's...well, I was hired for a reason.

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

Then I'll just go talk to Dan and get myself removed.

Where is he?

[srwuga_mods]

[Suddenly!]

Hi! What can I do for you?

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

Where-

Are you Dan? Why'd you put me on the patrol schedule?

[srwuga_mods]

Huh? Aren't you the Black Southern Cross, Gain Bijou?

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

My name is Gainer! Gainer Sanga! Don't confuse me with that man!

[srwuga_mods]

Oh.

Well, you still have an Overman, right? You'll be fine, don't worry.

Later!

*blink out*

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

And that's the story of how I got hired onto the White Chalice.

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

Wait a second! Hey! That's not even...

That thing hired you? By thinking you were someone else...

This is just hopeless!

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

No, that wasn't it exactly...but with Dan as the XO, I couldn't just leave these guys to themselves, could I?

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

Hmph... People shouldn't have to die because one person can't lead properly...

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

First sensible thing you've said all conversation. So are you going out or not?

[turningyaponese.livejournal.com]

If you can't do it without me, I guess I will. You're already expecting me there anyway.

[[No comment on being sensible because he's plenty sensible. Just unreasonable.]]
