Third Order

[sacred_thunder]

That...was strange. I received a letter from the mayor, thanking me for participation, and was offered a favor. Then, when I went to the store

It's good to see some men didn't abuse their power.

[sacred_thunder]

So I failed to keep the women safe...?

I would never dream of abusing a power like that. My initial reaction was to protect the female population.

[eye_do]

Oh my, that's very gallant of you. What is your name?

[sacred_thunder]

Ky Kiske. And you are...?

[prodigious_mage]

Ohhh. Everyone got so much cool stuff back. Maybe I should go check it out, too -- That costume is so awesome!

And I guess we get stuff back after events. You know, like what happened on Father's Day.

[sacred_thunder]

...Hm... That's certainly possible. It's something to look into, at the very least.

[prodigious_mage]

That's what Relm said, anyway. Not that she's reliable at all.

[hisironcross]

Why we get the letters, I've no idea -- it could be about the whole Father's Day business, who knows? But we exchange them for personal belongings, and that's a fair trade!

[sacred_thunder]

Normally, I would agree, but in circumstances like this, where a portion of the population is made to suffer? I would prefer an event such as the one we just had to not happen rather than regain any of my possessions.

[hisironcross]

Worse has taken place before, and you know that's out of our control. Besides, events are just events -- it's the participants who turn it into what it is.

[kol_shevik]

First punishment and now reward? This town treats us as children.

[sacred_thunder]

...It does, doesn't it? If we do what it wants, we receive rewards. If we disobey, it punishes us. Perhaps the powers that be think we're incapable of handling our own lives...?

[kol_shevik]

It does not understand a true Mother's care, Да? And I will show them just how capable I am of deciding on my own if they ever dare to show themselves~ kol kol kol

I do not see how asking question deserves..."reward," though.

[sacred_thunder]

One more question for the list, then.

[spacepeach]

I received my bracelet the last time I got a letter!

That's a very nice uniform!

[sacred_thunder]

Thank you, though that isn't why I wear this.

[spacepeach]

Why do you wear it, then?

[sacred_thunder]

To remind myself of the past.
