∞ 79: A post-battle report [written]
Everyone drafted out to Desset City should be accounted for by now. My gratitude to those who successfully worked together while we were out there.
I am sure there are residents and recent arrivals who may have questions about the situation and what we encountered out there. As longer-term residents may remember, we first encountered an army of cultists last autumn -- these cultists are referred to as the Third Party. The members of the Third Party, unlike us, have the ability to fly and Shift their surroundings. The scientists keeping us in this barrier, the Malnosso, drafted several of us to head out to another settlement.
We have been told that Desset City, the location we were sent to, was one of several settlements outside of our village. It was unlike anything seen within our barrier prison. The troops we met were an occupational force, maintaining patrols and one major base of operations that became apparent towards the end of our campaign. Despite the Third Party having a greater number of troops, we prevailed. The arrival of electricity and appliances coincide with our successful return.
Of note is the fact that draftees who initially refused were dragged by force onto the battlefield. These reluctant draftees were given less time to prepare, and included the likes of children. If you are drafted in the future, be aware that refusal does not appear to be a valid option. You will be taken and put to work, or you will be killed out there.
The New Feather cycle should begin shortly, so everyone should be on alert and maintaining their patrol schedules. This is especially important with the heightened amount of conflict in Luceti. Patrols should be properly equipped for skirmishes by now, so I'll forgo any other needless reminders.

I would like to have a word with the Organization's CEO.

When one has high expectations, they are often left more disappointed than satisfied.
[filtered]
Oh, but nevermind the village's inability to satisfy you. Anything interesting happen while you were out there?
[filtered]
"Interesting" is subjective.
[filtered]
Of course it is. For example, nothing involving you can possibly be interesting. But I was asking for the sake of conversation.
[filtered]
I see. I would hate to bore you, so suffice it to say nothing of interest happened out there.
[filtered]
You misunderstand. I was asking you to bore me. [...] Well. Maybe not literally, I suppose.

As for spending another night in my room... You wouldn't dare, lest you get a boot to the head.
[filtered]
[...but this.] My boots won't be leaving my feet the next time I'm in your house.

What, should I be happy about something like that?

If you say so, Caesar.

Of course I say so.
