[It's another normal(ish) day. Temari hates normal. Normal is boring. Sometime during the early afternoon, she addresses the population at large.]

What do you people do to keep yourselves occupied around here?

[As for her attempt to find fun, she's making her way toward a fairly empty spot not too far outside of town (despite the cold) -- after a detour to the grocery store. She was going for lunch but she found such a buy there that she couldn't resist.

If anyone asks about her carrying a large bag of nothing but pineapples, they're for target practice.

And, no, she did not take great pleasure in affixing the damn things to those poles she found. And she might even deny making dummies with pineapples for heads for any particular reason. It just seemed right.

And that scary smile when she proceeds to decimate one of those pineapple-headed dummies is just coincidence.

She should do this more often.]

Right. I've been drafted twice and expect it to happen again.

You mean by the Malnosso, don't you?

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's right. They draft people every few months. It doesn't matter if you want to go or not...or even if you can fight. If they chose you, that's it.

So I've heard. They've taken noncombatants before, then, huh?

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

At least twice.

[And she sounds none too pleased, at that.]

You would think if they wanted to win their war, they wouldn't subject people to it who have never seen a battle. But that doesn't seem to matter to them, or the likelihood of said people getting hurt.

It does seem counterproductive. There must be some reason for it.

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

They tried to justify it by saying only certain people were suitable to be taken beyond the barrier, or something like that, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was one big lie, anyway.

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. I can't imagine we're in much of a position to demand the truth.

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Not yet. I keep looking for when that might change.

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

Given the circumstances, you might be waiting a very long time.

Possibly, but at this point there's little choice other than to be patient.
