All right, I've been doing some thinking. Dunno when another draft is gonna come up, but one thing that's always been a real problem for us in the draft are individuals who don't know how to fight or are unable to getting pulled into the conflict, or people that do who are outclassed by the members of the Third Party. This is a problem that needs to be fixed, and we obviously can't count on the Malnosso not sending the vulnerable into combat zones.

...So here's what I have. I'm looking to form a squadron of fighter pilots with the aim to give some of these folks something to do, give them a chance to fight back if they want it. You don't have to be a non-combatant to join, either. If you think you might be worth more to your allies up in the air flying a plane, then you're more than welcome to inquire.

Nothing's set in stone yet. Don't know if this is even going to happen, and there's no promises we'll even get the aircraft we'll need. But damned if it isn't worth a try.

...You may be wondering who I am to suggest something like this. My name is David Jordan, Major in the Federal Erusian Air Force, commander of the elite 156th Tactical Fighter Squadron, and Ace of Aces for Erusea during the Usean Continental War. I know what I'm talking about. And I'm one of the best there is in this line of work. For those who are interested, I will say this up front. Expect this squadron to maintain a high level of discipline and you will be expected to be diligent in your training. I will not be an easy instructor, because it is your lives on the line. Hot-shots and loose cannons will be dropped from the unit, no questions asked.

If anyone is interested or has questions, inquire here, or visit me in person at Good Spirits this evening from 18:00 to 21:00.

[As stated in his message, Yellow 13 will be sitting in Good Spirits in a fairly visible table during the allotted time. He actually doesn't have alcohol with him, and while his guitar does rest next to him, very rarely will he pick up and play it. Though if it goes too long without someone stopping by, he might very well play a tune.]

Oh, no, no, don't get me wrong. Yellow is a very intimidating color by itself, anyone proudly wearing it anywhere must be full of confidence and be really good at their job. And not the kind of confidence that's built over nothing, those guys don't have the brains to pick up yellow as their color.

Magic, you mean that filial magic thing with the spirits, right?

Yes, exactly. I've been in contact with a handful of the spirits so far. Surprisingly practical.

Hmmm...

[Bulma hums, thinking. She may believe in dragon balls and legends and chase them to use their powers and all, but that's just like using a remote. She uses a tool to make magic, she can deal with that, but any other form of magic isn't something she's very comfortable with.]

How is it exactly? You contact them and make a contract or something? And they are summoned when you call for them?

It's a little more abstract than that. In my experience, you can actively try to seek them out... or wait for them to contact you. Nala and Sona's voices I came to hear over time, while I actively sought out Kipinn.

And what they teach you is how to manipulate their respective elements through yourself. You don't summon them, exactly.

[Yes, she can see how it's useful and all but... Definitively not her thing.]

I see, it's not really my type of thing, unfortunately.

[Maybe if she gets terribly bored... No, probably not even then.]
