(073) ★ Two Days Till Drafting [Voice]

Jul 23, 2010 15:22

[The journal clicks on and it shows a clear image of Usagi, who just happens to be chewing on her bottom lip. She looks down at the journal for a moment and sighs.] I'm really nervous.

I talked to the man, and he said I didn't have to go if I didn't want to, so... maybe you can talk to him too.

[Voice] themoonuplifts July 23 2010, 20:02:13 UTC

I would. I'd love to tell him I don't want to go, but... I should help in whatever way I can, even if I'm scared. [It's my duty.]

[Voice] ratatosk_knight July 23 2010, 20:06:01 UTC

[He's quiet.]

... am I a coward for not wanting to go?

[Voice] themoonuplifts July 23 2010, 20:11:45 UTC

What? No! No, no, no! Not at all, Emil! [She pauses, trying to form the right words.] I don't think not wanting to go make you a coward, I think it makes you smart.

[Voice] ratatosk_knight July 23 2010, 20:12:44 UTC

Smart...? But why?

[Voice] themoonuplifts July 23 2010, 20:20:09 UTC

Because it means you're playing it safe. It means you won't have to go out, and get hurt, or watch people get hurt, and it means you'll be safe. [She wouldn't want to see any of her friends get hurt.]

[Voice] ratatosk_knight July 23 2010, 20:25:47 UTC

But then other people are out getting hurt while I'm just sitting back here at home, and that isn't fair either.

[Voice] themoonuplifts July 23 2010, 20:33:47 UTC

Isn't that their choice? We don't always get a choice, but when you do, make the one that's right for you. If you don't want to go, then don't go, but don't feel bad about it. It's what's best for you.

[Voice] ratatosk_knight July 23 2010, 20:45:47 UTC

But I can't not feel bad about it if it means someone else might get hurt for me. That isn't fair to them, even if it is their choice.

[Voice] themoonuplifts July 23 2010, 20:50:41 UTC

Emil. [She can't think of how to convince him not to feel any guilt]

I wish there was something else I could say, but... Just try not to think about it. Everything is going to be all right.

[Voice] ratatosk_knight July 23 2010, 21:11:42 UTC

Thanks, Usagi. I just... I wish none of us had to go fight at all. It isn't fair.

[Voice] themoonuplifts July 23 2010, 21:13:25 UTC

[This is certainly going to sound dark coming from Usagi, but if this place has taught her a thing or two (or, hell, even life before Luceti), it's this:] Life isn't fair, Emil, let alone life in Luceti. We just have to try and go with the flow.

[Voice] ratatosk_knight July 23 2010, 21:37:56 UTC

[That's one painful lesson Emil has learned all too well here.]

I know. I know, but... never mind.

[Voice] themoonuplifts July 23 2010, 21:53:58 UTC

Emil?

[Voice] ratatosk_knight July 24 2010, 06:14:53 UTC

It's okay, I'm just being selfish again. You're right, I should stay out of the way so I don't get hurt and make people worry about me.

[Voice] themoonuplifts July 24 2010, 16:33:33 UTC

It's all right to be selfish, you know, but try not to feel bad about it.
