[ written ]

[ Neat, concise, practical penmanship. Erwin does quite a lot of writing. ]

I would like to extend my thanks to those so quick to help newcomers. It is very much appreciated. Though I believe I am fairly well informed at this point, I have a few more specific questions:

Have you ever been drafted for service in the war? Volunteered for it? If so, what was asked of you?
How frequently are you and/or those you know taken in for experimentation? If you have first-hand experience with this, do you recall what happened?
Based on your experiences in Luceti, what is your personal opinion of the Malnosso?

If you would like to speak further, or more privately, this is Commander Erwin Smith. I am willing to meet with you in person if you are wary of speaking freely this way.

Lastly: I ask that Jean Kirstein and Marco Bott contact me as soon as possible.

[ action ]

[ Erwin's been in Luceti only a few days, but he'd memorized the layout of the village on the first. Food, clothing, weapons--he knows where to find these things, and he's been noting all of the smaller shops besides. He's far from content, but he is adapting, though still on high alert. He is well aware already that there is little he will be able to do immediately. But he can prepare to do more, and that is precisely what he is planning on.

He can be found at the smithy looking at weapons, at the grocery store (Levi wants non-perishables, wants to stock up), sitting outside looking through his journal--green cape around his shoulders, hiding his wings with more wings--or just about anywhere else by appointment. ]

[ Messy, meandering, cheerful penmanship. Or, uh, markership, since this is in blindingly pink marker, although the players are spared the html. There are little flowers drawn for every period or dot of an "i" for the moment. ]

1. I got drafted once but my family beat up the drones that came for me so I didn't have to go.
2. I've never gotten taken in but I know people who have. Mostly I get caught up in the ones that they do to everyone, or lots of groups of people. I can tell you about those experiments if you want though.
3. Which ones?? I like some of the ones that work here. Carol's nice, and Mr. Bill helped us out sort of with the dark spirit thing. Kinda. And the one with sunglasses, I think he's kinda okay although he's boring. I dunno the other ones, though.

[ Very usefully written during lunch, as she sits on the bench inside the waiting/display area of the smithy, having gone to visit Raven. How lucky that the journals don't convey crumbs. ]

[ Clearly a child's writing. It's cute, actually. Erwin doesn't speak with too many children younger than his recruits, but he certainly doesn't mind them. ]

1. Your family must be very strong. Are they all here with you?
2. Yes, if you do not mind. I am very curious to hear about those experiments as well.
3. Do you interact with them often? Carol and Mr. Bill?

[ This is the first time he's heard them named. That's interesting. ]

1. Some of them are! A lot of them went home since then but Grandpa and Katara and Bolin and Asami and Uncle Iroh are all still here. A lot of my family is benders, although Uncle Sokka wasn't.
2. Well the last one was mistletoe and I didn't get hit with that, and then before that we went to the moon and then before THAT we go invaded and the people invading Luceti put us all in a dream thing where we remembered different stuff. I had an older brother and a different family and did ballet there.
3. Not really, 'cause Mr. Bill lives in the tunnels I think and I'm not allowed down there. Carol's our liason (is that how you spell that?????) so she lives in Luceti and I guess she used to run the school before Sifu Raine but I don't remember that. She's nice I think.

1. 'Benders?' I am not familiar with that term, I'm afraid.
2. That all seems very frightening. Do you know who it was that invaded? [ One thing at a time, he supposes. The moon? Tampering with memory? And what does mistletoe have to do with any of it? He knows the plant, but... ]
3. Very close. 'Liaison.' One more 'i.' So Carol communicates between those who live here in Luceti and the Malnosso?

1. That's because it's a term from my world! I guess the easiest way to say it that makes people get it is air magic.
2. Zompano? I don't know much about him but people who have been here longer knew more. I think Shikamaru or Sifu Raine probably would know.

[ This is her answer for a lot of information-y things she doesn't know. At least she's normally correct about them knowing. ]

3. Yeah she's our liaison! She went with us to the moon and she's usually really friendly. Sometimes she'll be in the village and you can talk to her.

1. I see. Magic does not exist where I come from, unfortunately. I find it incredible that anyone should be capable of it.
2. Sifu Raine and Shikamaru. I will have to ask them, then. Thank you.
3. I am sure she is very polite. [ That, at least, is probably true. ] Do you know if her visits are scheduled?

[ This small child is actually turning out to be very helpful?? ]

1. Well if you want me to show you I can switch to video!
2. Yep! Sifu Raine runs the school and the flower shop, and Shikamaru runs the convenience store. They're easiest to find in those places, probably.
3. I don't know. I've never asked, but I don't think they're that scheduled. There was a new Malnosso who was talking to us, some sort of doctor, but I don't know if she's still around. I didn't talk to her, because she seemed a bit weirder than Miss Carol.

[ She's surprisingly well-informed. ...OR AT LEAST SHE IS INCREDIBLY WILLING TO SPILL ANYTHING SHE KNOWS, FOR THE MOST PART. ]
