Don't crash on me now, you're pretty much the only one I've met so far that I have enough respect for to talk to about this in a serious fashion." Aryn replied flippantly, taking a drink from the coffee she presented to him. "Ah! ... I guess boiling water is hot, huh?" He set it back down, grinning sheepishly. He took a deep breath before continuing.<br/><br/>"Not sure what we're up against to be honest. It could be anything, and with no information to really work with it makes it a pretty daunting task. I wonder how many of our residents are capable fighters? I... well, I know this is against the rules, but i have another 'boken' in my room that conceals a real sword. Considering the circumstances I figured I should mention it. Resources are resources." He picked the coffee back up, blowing on it this time, then taking a sip. "Once the whatever it is does whatever it's gonna do, that's when we'll have to make a quick response. Defense is a lot, lot harder than attack. So, how defend-able is this place? Is there a back entrance? How strong are the windows? Do we have like a... I dunno, tornado hall or something with only one or two ways in?"
