[Shortly after arriving, Pilouette had learned that when, or rather if, she returned home she would go back to the very moment she left. But as of late, something has been bothering her. While what little knowledge of time travel and the like she possesses comes from films and most likely has very little basis in actual science, she can't stop thinking about it. So, flopping down on her bed, she decides to take to the journals.]

Umm, hey. Like, I have a question.

When you come here, time like, freezes back home right? I don't know a lot about timescience or whatever, but I was wondering...When you leave here, if you go back to the moment you left does that mean that one second into the future at home I'm already back sleeping on the couch? But would that mean I'm here and there at the same time? Or does that not work since that's in the future?

Like I said I'm not like...a "time scientist" or anything, so I've really got like, no idea. So...does anyone know?

Y-You're right...!

So the people that can't fight are really only good for experiments to them, huh...?

[notshadowfever]

So it would seem, although they don't seem to mind drafting those without combat abilities either! Sometimes I question their choices in that regard.

[ribbonbon]

But that doesn't make any sense at all!

...You don't think that's some kind of weird experiment, too, do you? Just like, tossing people who can't fight into a battle like that?

[notshadowfever]

It's difficult to judge their motives, but perhaps you have a point. It may simply be yet another experiment, or perhaps... Perhaps the non-combatants are mere hostages! Incentive for the draftees to fight off the Third Party and protect their bases!

[ribbonbon]

Hostages?! B...But that's horrible! You don't think they would really go that far, do you?!

[The very thought is pretty horrifying, but the fact that they even send people with no combat skills into battle seems to be proof that, yes, they would do that.]

Sorry for the late tag

[notshadowfever]

You obviously don't know a lot about these Malnosso if you think that's bad! They're happy to torture us both mentally and physically with little reason as it is. Putting little girls on battlefields is hardly below them!

No worries!

[ribbonbon]

I...I guess you're right. If they're willing to kidnap people to experiment on, there's probably not anything they wouldn't do, huh?

[notshadowfever]

Whoops! I suppose I just crushed your spirits, didn't I?

[ribbonbon]

N-No! Of course not! B-Because eventually we'll all go home a-and everything will be fine!

[That's the mature adult response, right?]

[notshadowfever]

Huh? Oh. Yes, of course we will. Ahem.

Anyway, I'm sure I've answered your question about, ahem, "time science".

[Blind optimism is always the mature option.]

[ribbonbon]

Oh! Yeah! Um, thanks for answering all my questions and stuff, mister! I think I might have a lot more to think about now, though.

[notshadowfever]

Ho ho! Indeed. Good luck with that!
