Sir?

Can I talk to you about a few things?

Thank you in advance.

...? Yes? What is it?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

How do you make sure that an operation goes without a hitch and without people getting injured?

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

... That depends on the operation, Hoshi.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

It's better if I explained this kind of stuff, huh...?

Okay, well, a person from my world, namely Kurayami Shichiyou went and attacked my friend Jinx in her tea house and caused her to wind up in the hospital for a week or two. So, I took it upon myself to ask her friends if they wanted to help out with taking him down as well as offer my expertise in handling him...

Not to mention I said I should handle it, but I got a fair number of responses and I spent last week training some of the people who wanted to help so that I can gauge their strength. I've been trying meditation and whatnot, too, so... I don't know what else I can do to make sure the people who offered to help won't be harmed in the process as well as know what he's capable of in combat.

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

I see. Then you're already a bit prepared.

... However, this depends on a lot of factors. Where is Schichiyou now, exactly?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

If I know him as well as I do, he's probably hiding or with Hao, sir.

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

((... I mispelled that. Blah.))

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

... I see. Then you need better recon, to be honest. A situation like that, you need to know what your situation will be before you can do anything.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

I shall and that's a very good point, sir.

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

((a MISSION like that. Urg.

*fails all over the place tonight.*))

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

I'd determine where he is, and make sure that you plan for the location.

And also organize an escape plan should the tide turn against you.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Would you recommend I go out by myself and scout his location, then?

Hm... Would you also mind it if I go over my escape plan with you, sir?

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

No. Get backup.

An escape plan isn't good until you know the location. It's also situational, Hoshi.

I'm sorry to say it, but... you're skipping steps here.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Right.

That's also a good point.

Eheh... maybe this is why my team doesn't do so well back in my world... ^^;

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't doubt it. No offense.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

None taken, sir. I realize my planning sucks, so... yeah.

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

Also, have back up to COVER your escape plan. Split your team, or recruit more people.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Is eleven good, not including myself?

Although... Who would you recommend recruiting?

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

People you trust, and people you know have some powerful ability. Again, it's also situational. Some people are better for certain situations.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Hm, I have a changeling, two people who can use the shadows to their ability, a mage, Batgirl, a couple of people who can do illusions, someone who can possess someone if they have direct control with their eyes... of course a few people's Digimon who can go to Perfect...

Then again, I worry if a few of them are going to get in the way...

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

Then judge them accordingly and weed them out if you ave to.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

I shall.

While I have this operation, do you mind it at all if I go over my plans with you?

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

I'd wait until you actually have a more developed one, Hoshi.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Of course.

Thank you so much for your help, sir! It's really appreciated!

[masterandhound.livejournal.com]

No problem.

And keep in mind you're representing DATS, so do your best.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Yes, sir! I won't let you, or DATS, down!
