So, now we've got a draft. I'm remembering why I never bothered with citizenship back home. More trouble than it's worth.

[Locked to friends.]

Anyone get picked?

Comments

[slayerisms]

Nothing here yet. You?

[breakmychest]

Nothing.

[Private]

[And he'll just... make this private.] Not intending to go if that changes, either.

If they ask for our help -- That is, if they can dismount their high horses long enough to admit they need it whether they want us to call ourselves Jedi or not -- I'm not sure Jacen and Anakin would turn them down. We might wind up seeing this war firsthand either way. So, be ready.

private

[breakmychest]

I'm always ready. But I won't be doing it on the government's say-so. Not my style. And you may have noticed, I'm rot at taking orders.

Private

[glowyball]

Nuh uh, not me.

I think I'm too young, which is totally stupid. I could so help out, if everyone would stop treating me like I'm a baby.

Private

[breakmychest]

You are not helping out in a bloody war. There's plenty for you to do right here.

Private

[glowyball]

I've helped out in plenty of wars, Spike.

...just the one, really. And this is different. It's against people.

[perspectiveguy]

Got picked. Or picketed. Pickered? ... I'm on the list.

[...he's glad it's not one of the Scoobies he really likes, but still. He'd hoped they'd all managed to slip past. Didn't seem likely, with how many Scoobies were around now, though.]

Planning on going?

[perspectiveguy]

Not really built for soldiering. But, I don't really have a hankering for jail.

Those aren't your only options, you know.

[loisfuckinglane]

If we want to be recognized as having equal rights to everyone else here, it's only fair that we should end up included.

[breakmychest]

Only equal if the non-Outworlders have to do the same thing. In the same garrison.

[loisfuckinglane]

The draft is hardly Outworlder-only, I'm sure.

[breakmychest]

Guess you've got more faith in our beloved republic than I do.

[uberwitch]

I did. W-What do I do? I can't be a draft dodger can I?

locked;

[breakmychest]

...well, yeah, you could. It's really up to you. I wouldn't turn you in.

[uberwitch]

Do you know how I could make my great escape?

[breakmychest]

Try the Winchester boys. I can't say I'm fond of them, but they do have a ship.
