Adventure the Fourth: Watch for falling tumbleweeds [Action]

[likenappa]

[The village seems so quiet with everyone gone off to the draft to fight for things they didn't believe in. It's quiet enough that Jonathan feels comfortable leaving the house without skirting around the super-intimidating crowds. He'll even take over some of the house responsibilities, like taking Andrew's pet for a walk

[ Ange is out today for pretty much the same reason. With the draft going on the town is quiet, almost empty, and Ange isn't too fond of crowds either way. So this is the perfect time to explore some more of the place, right?

Instead she finds a guy.. walking a pig. Well, this place just shows her new things every day. She just stares at it for a few moments from a small distance, lifting one eyebrow in curiosity. ]

I'm used to it by now. [ And yes, she does sound that casual about it. ] It doesn't even particularly bother me anymore by now.

Yeah, I guess that's right. But still.. powers or no powers, they're just kids.

[likenappa]

That doesn't mean it's right.

You were probably a kid too, once.

[repudiationist]

Yeah, but if they would have put the kid me out on the frontlines, I would only have been cannon fodder.

[likenappa]

...But the kids that get sent from here always come back safe. Right?

[repudiationist]

... I don't know. I've only been here for a few weeks, so I can't tell since I haven't seen it happen before. But I guess that must be true since I haven't heard anyone else complaining about it before.

[likenappa]

...I hope that's the case. There's no reason for kids to get hurt.
