[It's late afternoon and Eley appears to be sitting outside somewhere on an incline just outside the village, with a full view of the sky. It's at this time that he decides to address his journal. It's been a while and a lot has happened recently that he feels he should mention...]
I would like to say a general 'welcome back' to those who have returned from the draft. To those who were injured... I hope for a swift recovery. To those who lost friends and loved ones, I hope that they will find you well when they return. They will need your aid again.
[He pauses a moment, shifting tone slightly to something more serious, slightly sad.]
While I understand the necessity of this conflict, the threat of violence still makes me uneasy. I... must ask, is war something that is common across all worlds? Have you too seen great battles and the destruction they can cause? I would like to hear your stories, if they are not too painful for you to share. I would especially like to know if you believe it possible to live in a world free from conflict.

[Eley won't be moving much from his spot today. He's in a thoughtful, almost melancholy kind of mood and finds himself watching the sky as it succumbs to darkness, the stars his only company. At least unless someone finds him sitting out here at night on their travels.
Or hears him. Because sometime during the night he'll start playing on the harmonica Rudy gave him. He's been trying to practice as best he can and while he can at least make a sound on the thing, he hasn't quite managed to string together a melody. You won't hear a particularly beautiful song then, just a series of notes that seem to be played to fit his mood. Whether or not you find it annoying or endearing is entirely up to you!]

Why do you want to know? Don't you already know the most likely answer?
[He sounds better than he has in days, but he's still tired from his injuries during the draft.]
[voice]
You are right, I have an answer in mind already. One that will likely be true. However, I... wish to ask regardless of that fact. If there is any chance that a world exists out there that has found a way to live in peace, I wish to hear from them. It is important to me and something I wish for my own world.
I do not want past mistakes to happen again...
[voice]
If it's not one thing, it's another.
[voice]
[He pauses.]
Perhaps you have seen it for yourself. Is that true?
[voice]
[It's vague enough, though his tone makes it obvious it's quite personal. When it affected the well-being of his race for so long, there was no way he couldn't take it personally.]
[voice]
Those that do not want peace... they are the ones the others will try to crush, yes? They are the troublemakers, the ones who wish to cause more harm than good. What if you were to eradicate them? Would it not solve the problem?
