Unseelie Lockets

[mercurialize]

Right. Quick question, assuming this is working…


Is anything here organized? Or is everyone intended to figure out this training thing on their own?

We're probably expected to sort out our own training.

[erythristic]

When the forms for formal request pull through, you'll see some organization, darling.

[Unseelie or not, setting up official training still needed permission.]

voice:

[mercurialize]

So... Unorganized. Good to know.

[mercurialize]

What do you mean 'formal request'?

voice:

[uncertaindestiny]

Or a test to see how we respond, to see if we can think for ourselves.

[erythristic]

I mean a formal request to oversee space for training. It's hardly fair to waltz in and claim a large area for classes without permission, isn't it?

[mercurialize]

[He barely knows his military standards or how it operates, but this is contradicting the few things he does.]

Isn't that usually what armies do? That's the point of having a general; to make those kinds of decisions.

[He pauses for a thought.]

Let me guess- we have no general.

voice:

[mercurialize]

[Well, that's not helpful.]

What makes you think they're doing that?

[survivra]

Was that what you were doing at the feast? Trying to train? Or do you just usually make a habit of being as persistently irritating as possible?

[mercurialize]

Oh, it's you.

[What a pleasant surprise!]

Yeah, sorry about that. I was just checking on something.

[erythristic]

Of course we have a general. Don't be foolish. And their mind is occupied with many matters that aren't as mundane as dealing with paperwork and formalities.

Point is, come down to the Ward tomorrow and tell me if you still have any thoughts on our organization. We start early for the beginning classes.

[and that's a very quick wink on her part. she knows exactly how that sounds.]

voice:

[uncertaindestiny]

I wouldn't want anyone without some initiative fighting in my war.

[To her, it makes quite a bit of sense, actually.]

[survivra]

If you were wondering how it feels to have your face hit the stone floor, you might have asked. Unless you were checking on the function of your brain?

[mercurialize]

[Ha. Ha. Ha. He'd clap for your wit, but you know...]

Arm, actually. Well, what's left of it.

I'd say thanks for the help, but you weren't really trying. Guess I'll just have to check again later.

[What a pain.]

[mercurialize]

[That doesn't make sense to him, but he's not going to try talking in circles to figure that out.]

... Oh, no.

No, I'm not actually interested in classes for myself. But thanks.

[mercurialize]

... Right.

Considering their recruitment methods, I have a feeling they can't really be as picky as you're picturing them to be.

[uncertaindestiny]

They could be deciding who can just be fodder for the front lines and who actually matters.

[mercurialize]

That's a lot of 'what ifs' and 'could bes' and not a whole lot of definitive facts.

I'm not really asking for speculation what might be going on, I'm asking why I hear about a war and see only inaction.

[erythristic]

You ask after organization, yet don't seek to use it? What a curious sort you are.

[survivra]

[ She's honestly just at a total loss how to respond to him. Listen, Kylar. what the fuck

Katsa tosses around the possibility of a great number of insults and then settles on something that isn't an insult at all: ]

How did you lose it?

[mercurialize]

[He shrugs.]

Fought a flesh absorbing monster.

It's a long story.

[mercurialize]

I know what I'm doing. Just making sure those who don't aren't left behind. That's not so curious, is it?

[erythristic]

If you really want to make sure they don't get left behind? Tell me you'll offer yourself as an instructor for this month. We need as many as we can get so the native instructors aren't overloaded with pupils.

[mercurialize]

You don't even know my name let alone what I can do, yet you want me to train your soldiers? You do realize how ridiculous that sounds, don't you?

[erythristic]

The first is remedied in a second's exchange, the next solved by you demonstrating to me what you mean by "I know what I'm doing". [she shrugs.] If you have enough time to try to criticise us for our action not being up to your standards, you have enough time to assist like their Majesties wish you to.
