Volume 5

[thrillofchase]

I am not a man who curses frequently. That being said, FUCKSome of you may remember that my people and I have been exiled from our homes by a being known only as the adversary. You may also remember that we believed we were safe in the world we had exiled ourselves in because the Adversary had no interest in it

...Wow, that's sudden.

How big of an army are we talkin' here?

[thrillofchase]

I assure you, you are not the most surprised party involved.

No idea. We know of three, but we have no idea how many they'll use to attack. I'd rather make the mistake of being too prepared, than not prepared enough.

[upyourscolonel]

I can help. I...have experience.

[youresoshort]

Is that so?

And when were you thinking of asking your superior officer?

[youresoshort]

A war, huh?

[thrillofchase]

I hate to use that word, especially since we'll all be trying to limit the fighting to one city street, but yes. I do suppose that's the best way of putting it.

[youresoshort]

Tell me.

How many other people are you with?

CRAP!! I lent the books to a friend, so I can't check.

[thrillofchase]

I've never really taken a headcount, but we have somewhere between 500 and 1000 people living in Fabletown with more... unhuman allies on the way from another location.

However, the number of trained individuals with combat experience is far less.

[yuhina]

My military's not... that small, but I wouldn't be able to help.

...is everyone okay for now at least?

[thrillofchase]

I understand, please don't worry about it.

Yes. Both injured parties are recovering safely in the hospital. Right now I'm supervising the construction of barricades around the street, and organizing our "troops".

[yuhina]

Political issues. It's complicated.

That's good to hear.

[thrillofchase]

They always are.

We'll be fine. I do appreciate your concern.

[wisdom_pearl]

...You have no need to apologize. I understand completely. One's own people...must always come before another's, if there is no other choice to be had...

I wish you the very best of luck, Prince Charming.

...How goes the situation at present? I would offer my own military in better times, but as things stand I fear such a thing would be impossible...

[thrillofchase]

Oh we're doing just fine. Our injured gentlemen are recovering in the hospital, and they'll both be fine.

Please don't worry about offering your assistance. Please just focus your energies on surviving.

[wisdom_pearl]

...Yet still, the situation seems to be quite serious. You are worried...

All the same, I regret being unable to offer aid...but your concern is very appreciated. You need not worry for myself - you have much more pressing matters at hand. I will be fine, with time...

[thrillofchase]

Well, this is the person who forced us out of our homes. Everyone is more than a little worried.

[p_p_p_pasta]

U-Uweeeehhh...! Stay safe!

[thrillofchase]

Oh come now Feliciano. It's going to take more than some wooden soldiers to stop Pastaman, isn't it?

[p_p_p_pasta]

Ve, you're right! You can do it, Pastaman!
