2nd mission - video

[ugly_soldier_dude]

[The feed kicks on to show one not particularly happy looking Zack.]

I heard about people going to sleep for weeks on end, but I never thought I'd get hit with that so soon after coming here.

[For having just woken up, he's already quite alert and ready to go.]

Also, I wanted to talk to whoever's in charge of the Defense Force around here. I was given a name, but when I looked it up, it wasn't there. If anyone could give me some pointers, I'd appreciate it.

You can talk to Serph or myself.

How can I help? Would you like to join?

[Video]

[ugly_soldier_dude]

Heck yeah. I can give you a briefing on my experience with combat, if it helps.

[booyaka_boom]

Oh - hey! Good morning!

*Selphie smiles, and gives a little wave, though her face does fall slightly*

Yeah...he's not around anymore so..I don't really know who's in charge. I guess I didn't really think about it..

It would help us to place you where you would be most effective, but you don't need to feel obligated to do so.

[ugly_soldier_dude]

Hey.

Oh, no worries. Someone's already stepped up to help.

[Video]

[ugly_soldier_dude]

No problem. I was part of an elite fighting unit called SOLDIER from the time I was almost fifteen. Most of my duties were clearing out monsters, protecting civilians and personnel, and sometimes doing reconnaissance.

G'morning then! Just got hit with one of those myself a month back or so. Didn't see it coming.

[ There's a pause though. ]

I've got me a mate on the defense force... could prolly ask him the details.
'Fraid if you can't find the original bloke's name, he's prolly been sent home, the lucky sod.

What did you primarily use to fight? A particular weapon, a range, magic?

[ugly_soldier_dude]

Thanks. Yeah, just went down for bed and bam, two weeks later.

[It's really unsettling, to be honest. And he's hungry.]

Sounds like it. Someone responded and I'm hashing out details with him now. Thanks for the offer though.

[Video]

[ugly_soldier_dude]

A sword. I can use magic, but only with the help of materia.

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

I don't know what that is, but I assume you don't have access to it here?

cute icon!

[booyaka_boom]

Oh ~ they have? Then.. that's good.

*She smiles a little, though she still seems very thoughtful about it all*

[diehardreaper]

Not a problem.

[ A small frown. ]

Cor, you're prolly the third one this month I've heard what's just woken up from these long sleep things. This other loud bloke... Masaru, I'd wager his name was and myself. Wonder if this sort of thing's the norm here...

[Video]

[ugly_soldier_dude]

No, unless they sell it at that Nook place.

thanks!

[ugly_soldier_dude]

Yeah, finally got started on that.

[It goes unnoticed by him, mostly because he doesn't know her well enough to pick up on something like that.]

Anything happen while I was out?

video;

[ugly_soldier_dude]

I've heard about it before. I ... think I talked to the same guy, actually. But I haven't been here real long so I don't know what to tell you there.

^^

[booyaka_boom]

Good!

*Probably not, but she still continues to look quite thoughtful*

Uhm..some animals were running around and.. I guess that's about it. Nothing major!

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

You can check if you want, but either way you're more than qualified to patrol with the Defense Force.

[ugly_soldier_dude]

Animals running around?

[Video]

[ugly_soldier_dude]

Maybe later. I don't rely all that heavily on them.

[He's pretty excited now, though. Finally, something he can do that he's good at!]

Yeah! That's what I was hoping to hear! You won't regret this, I promise.

[Video]

[donotcomprehend]

Serph is one of the leaders of the Defense Force. I work for him. If you have questions, I can answer them.

[Video]

[ugly_soldier_dude]

I'm talking to someone else already, but I do have a question. What exactly are the responsibilities of the Force? Obviously the defense of the city, but anything else?

[effeminacy]

...Weeks on end?

Well, I hope it was a good sleep.

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

[ It's always great to get volunteers. ]

I'm sure I won't.

[booyaka_boom]

Yeah! Dunno where they came from but they were running all over the place!

*She flaps her arms for emphasise*
