[Plus side: at least he is male again. But he isn't wasting time celebrating this right now.]

Well, so much for a "distress signal". Perhaps... another method. [A sigh.] And dare I ask who plans on volunteering?

I must say, being part of an--er-- experiment of sorts sounds rather... [Shakes his head.]

Comments

[bloodyfiasco]

[Another one that wants to volunteer, Itachi assumes. He gives the sphere a small questioning look.]

[serpentswrath]

[Oh, he has no intention of being the volunteer. Not after his own bad experiences. And he doesn't take too well to being stared at.]

Can I help you?

[bloodyfiasco]

Are you planning on volunteering too?

[Like the other brainless idiots...?]

[serpentswrath]

Ah, well... no. I hardly see reason to board the flying ship of the outsiders without any knowledge of their tactics.

[storyofaneet]

[Regene's finger dominates the picture as he briefly taps on the sphere, before it pulls back. His expression is faintly curious.]

And just what would we be volunteering for, hm? I'm new, so I need more information before stepping up.

[serpentswrath]

Another new-- [Sighs again, deciding that it's far from a surprise.] Well, it seems we received a message asking for a, ah, volunteer to board their ship. These... [Gesture to the sky.] "Outsiders" are intent on rescuing us, but for what purpose...

man, what a liar

[storyofaneet]

Hmmmm... [Regene taps his fingers on his knee.] While I normally wouldn't be opposed to volunteering myself, I feel I could come under suspicion if arrived so suddenly only to take up with-- foreigners.

We'll just have to wait it out. People's plans always reveal themselves, if you have the patience.

like your face

[serpentswrath]

At least someone is able to think. Really, volunteering for it? [Hmphs.]

I don't know about any plans, but there's a certain... ah, suspicious nature.

[kamaitachimai]

Not me. No way in hell.

[serpentswrath]

Well, it's good to see at least some of you using common sense.

[kamaitachimai]

I'm guessing that you're not volunteering either.

[serpentswrath]

In these circumstances, it would be too great a risk without making a plan beforehand.

[numberonebaby]

I don't trust anything they say. Who'd volunteer to be an experiment, anyway?

[serpentswrath]

Much as I'm loathe to agree with you, those were... my thoughts exactly.

[numberonebaby]

You're just jealous 'cause I'm so awesome. [boisterous!laugh]

[serpentswrath]

Jealous? Of you? Surely you jest.

[dawnward]

I'm a little surprised no one has noticed that the...Commander never mentioned whether or not the volunteer was going to be returned once they were done with them.

[serpentswrath]

Regardless of whether or not they noticed, with a group this large-- oh, someone is bound to try.

[dawnward]

They might regret their choice.

[serpentswrath]

I'm nearly certain that they will.
