Day 461 ( June 9/10 )

When the Travellers wake up, they will find a message sent to every bracelet in the city:

As per the agreement between the gods and their Travellers, all persons within Asgard are humbly requested at the castle courtyard for enlistment in the Holy City's war efforts. Every individual is invited to find their resolve and seek out their purpose; this is the final stand in Ragnarok, and your help is needed now more than ever.

Enlistment is mandatory! Please see your local officials for more information.

A friendly if not a touch formal invitation to what will essentially be Asgard's job fair! A mandatory job fair. This is why we can't have nice things.

The castle courtyard and the streets leading into it will be crowded with bustling natives and several booths, not uncommon in appearance to the many festivals they've had over the last two years. This time, however, there is no music or celebration to be had. Everyone is hard at work organising their efforts for the war and doing their level best to assist in the transition.

Day 462 ( June 11/12 )

The fair will continue for two days, to give everyone time to get down there and make their decisions. Anyone that hasn't signed up by the end of this day will be visited at home by a city rep and a few guards that will politely ask them to register for a group and weaponry if they plan to carry it. Refusal will land them in jail for the day, where they will still be politely asked to please, seriously, just pick something. Anything. Uncle Odin wants you.

At the end of the fair, there will be food and drinks to thank the Travellers for their support and cooperation. Throughout the entirety of the event and for the rest of their stay, the natives will be more reverent and grateful than ever than the Travellers have chosen to stay and fight at their side. They will do anything they can to help them win this war; this evening will be one of camaraderie and appreciation for the past, present, and future sacrifices to save the World Tree.

461

[saving_sound]

[Her own decision had been almost a foregone conclusion. Her place was with the medics, where she could put her powers to their greatest use. Having made her choice almost right away, she ends up wandering around for the remainder of the time, eventually spotting Kanji as he steps back from the booth.]

Ah... You've decided which one to join, too?

Re: 461

[realmenknitplushies]

Oh-!

[He takes a moment to collect his thoughts, stop his pulse racing, before he answers her.]

Yeah. It kinda took me a while, but - well, I've done it.

[saving_sound]

Which one did you decide on?

[She tilts to the side, craning her neck to try to see. Of course, when she actually catches sight of the name, her expression becomes surprised.]

...Eh--

M-military?!

[realmenknitplushies]

[At her reaction, he looks more than a little embarrassed, glancing aside-]

...Yeah.

[saving_sound]

[Oops.]

I'm sorry! I just thought maybe you would join the engineers, or maybe the supply coordinators...

[Given his power and all.]

[realmenknitplushies]

[It's kind of strange, the way what's expected of him's changed...]

I thought about it. I really did.

[Shoving his hands in his pockets-]

But... if I'm out there, I can make sure that everyone up there's got what they need without having t' worry about supplies gettin' to us, can't I?

[saving_sound]

So... you joined the military so you could supply them up in front?

[It's... actually a pretty good idea. But she still worries...]

[realmenknitplushies]

Well...

[Hesitation. He's not sure he dares tell her the rest of his motivation. After all his insistence that she keep herself safe...]

Ya saw how things were gettin' in the forest. Someone always needed somethin'.

[saving_sound]

That's true... no matter how hard everybody works, it's hard being on the front lines.

But... We'll still be supporting you. I'll probably be in the shelters, but sometimes there's no choice but to go out into the field for us medics, too.

[realmenknitplushies]

[...Why isn't he surprised. He sighs slightly.]

Just - look after yourself the best ya can, okay?

[saving_sound]

[She gives a slow nod.]

There was one time when I used my power too much, and a lot of people got really worried... I don't want to do that to people again if I can help it.

[But sometimes, there's just no other option, and she's highly aware of that.]

[realmenknitplushies]

[He's trying not to say that much himself.]

Yeah. I know what ya mean. [He sighs.] And I don't wanna make people worry, either, but ... it's the best thing I can do to help.

[saving_sound]

Mm. We'll just have to do our best...!

[She tries to sound optimistic, but the effect is rather ruined with the way her head tilts towards the ground.]

[realmenknitplushies]

[Just a bit.]

It's all we ever can do, huh?
