[Sitting at the head of the table is the Headmaster. He holds the newsletter in hand, glancing over it while he waits for his SeeDs and Instructors to arrive.

Headmaster! [Deedlit is early, she hasn't even bothered to unpack yet.] It's good to see you again. Have you been well?

[She's heard things during her missions naturally, but it's always good to hear from a reliable source after all.]

[wrnpcs]

As well as I can be, Instructor Deedlit.

[Cid gestures to a seat off to the side.]

Please, sit. Make yourself comfortable. How were your missions?

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

They went as well as we expected them to go. Nothing too troubling. Not like the news. [She looks at the pile of newsletters pointedly.]

I'm still not entirely sure what a missile is or does, but I know that it's not good news.

[wrnpcs]

[Cid shakes his head.]

It's not good news at all-- Balamb Garden was targeted by missiles the same time that Trabia had been hit, but fortunately we managed to activate the flying mechanism of the school to avoid the hit just in time. It's troublesome to hear that Galbadia may be utilizing such destructive weapons again...

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

[She's still not sure just what a missile does, but then she'd been surprise by the concept of flying buildings before not to mention all the technology this world has to offer. So that's not exactly a big deal.]

Is there no magic that can be used against these missiles?

[wrnpcs]

Unfortunately even our defense para-magic can do so much-- they can't withstand the force and power of a missile.

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

Does that mean attack para-magic is useless as well? There's no way to use Aeroa to blow them off course?

[She frowns, thinking about this for a moment.] Or asking a Guardian Force for help? Something like Leviathan so the missiles can be washed away?

[Someone doesn't know how missiles work, but she's trying.]

[wrnpcs]

I believe the force behind the missile would be too much. Of course we've never attempted to halt a missile's course with such options, however, that is a risk I'm not willing to take.

[Cid offers her a smile.]

Nonetheless, they were good suggestions.

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

[She nods]

If it's alright with you, I'd still like to mention this to the GFs in the future. They might have some insight into this that no one else has thought of before now.

[She gives Cid an apologetic smile in return.]

If it was something I was more familiar with I'd be more helpful. Sorry.

[Deedlit gets a light "salute" from Kurt.]

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

[She waves back, moving to sit near Kurt. Forgive the nose twitch as it's been a while since they've seen each other and her senses are going to have to adjust.]

What are the odds of us returning to Garden at the same time, I wonder.

[icesanguinewolf.livejournal.com]

Pretty low. But then again, what's the odds of a dead body lacking any hint of it but a slight smell?

[He's joking, and grins. It's nice to see her again.]

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

I'd say fairly high coming from someone like you.

[She smiles at his depreciating sense of humor.]

How did your missions fare?

[icesanguinewolf.livejournal.com]

The usual. Everything went pretty much to plan, so boring and safe.

[He grins again.]

What about yours?

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

From what I've heard of the news, isn't it a good thing that our missions all went well?

[Like their was any doubt about how her missions went?]

[icesanguinewolf.livejournal.com]

It is, thankfully. But I'm worried about this. I'm not used to something I can't, you know, hit.

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

It worries me too. I don't like the idea that there are weapons there that we can't fight.

[icesanguinewolf.livejournal.com]

[He makes a confirming noise, closing his eyes in thought.]

I'm at a loss here, admittedly. I've never had to deal with, well, anything like this.

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

[She nods]

I'm glad that the humans of my world don't have this sort of technology. I'm not sure there would be much of Lodoss left if they did.

[icesanguinewolf.livejournal.com]

Heh, well. To be fair, my world's suffered dragons waging war and ripping it apart. I don't know how much missiles can do, I just know that at least with the dragons, we could FIGHT them.

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

Even the ancient dragons of my world could be fought. It's a risky and unwise decision to fight them, but it's possible.

To have something that people can't fight at all? It's unimaginable.

[icesanguinewolf.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[He laces his arms behind his head.]

But I suppose that's why we're here.

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

I hope you're right.

[She looks around the room.]

Though I'm not sure what they hope to accomplish with this meeting.

[In her experience, humans as whole seem to have a lot of trouble making up their mind.]

[icesanguinewolf.livejournal.com]

Let's hope we accomplish something.
