Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Private Durandal

The young woman had been taking the opportunity to collect herself. Memories beyond a certain point became a jumble, and then a haze. She could try to remember, but nothing made sense unless she took the time to put them in order. It was a tiring exercise, a strange kind of fatigue that leaves you drained, but not physically tried. She wanted to move through her stances and forms, but there was no space. They were moving somewhere, though she wasn't sure where. She wished she had a map to study. How far was she from home?

No, she shouldn't get distracted. She'd probably remember if she put it all together. Or... if she read through more of this journal?

---------------------

Somehow, the more she read of the journal, she more she was filled with a profound sadness. She had a sense that she knew how the story ended. Really, the dogtags that came with the journal were story enough. She couldn't read much of the journal at once, but the man had become aware of a new addition to his squad, a lancer for their next mission. It was at this point in her reading that the APC stopped. She closed the book and tucked it away swiftly, looking up at the Sergeant. A tank...? She reached for her mortar, prepared to make a sprint.

Just so we're all on the same page of what our hardware is, the APC is an armored, covered vehicle, yes?

Oh, well. That certainly worked. And... hey, it was raining. She didn't really mind rain, herself, so she didn't really let it bother her before, but now that she gave it a moment's thought, something was strange here, wasn't it. And it seemed like Karn had been getting ready to walk right out into that. Penny seemed to have caught on first, and began their confrontation.

And off they were to a FANTASTIC start. "Is this how you greet people!?" She turned to look at the guild member Karn had been talking to. "Did he do this to you, too?" When she turned back to Karn, his eyes were shifting about and he started rubbing his temples, before finally giving a rather strange outburst. It was concerning, but who knows what kinds of side effects there would be. Having two souls in one body.

Anyway. "Neko?" Trinity frowned, cradling her jaw in her hand as she thought for a moment. "The only person I know like that... they didn't mention any names?" She gave him a moment to remember, glancing worriedly at Penny and Sasha.

"Frouline, gather some twigs and tinder, would you?" With a little utterance, the Oshawott bounds down to the ground and waddles off nearby to search for materials. Cliff clears a place on the ground, off the path. Frouline brought him back a bundle for him to start with as he starts to strike some flint and tinder. "You should keep dry foods like that ready for emergencies." Cliff looks up from working on the fire. Didn't Niesha have a fire-type...? Well, whatever. He turns back to it and manages to catch a spark, quickly leaning down and sheltering it from the wind. Frouline adds more tinder. "Larger pieces now, Frouline. But don't go far."

The girl had another pokemon. And an egg, that was more impressive.

"'Full on'? Like... all day every day? You'll melt all the snow on the mountain like that, y'know." Trinity looked at Penny with a bit of amazement, though she also had to wonder if that's what she meant. Maybe it was an odd slip of the tongue? "I trained with Fleo some, but besides that... I played long and hard in a few different squares and plazas. I've been training with my Bard's magic to increase my concentration and magic pool. I can play more instruments at once now, too." It was a little bit of pride, for her.

They were just passing Karn in the Arena's entry tunnel. Trinity knew he'd hear them, probably even their footsteps. The distraction of conversation was more to help herself maintain an air of non-interest.

Cliff had found himself walking in front of the other two girls. Frou was climbing on his shoulders and his head, watching her surroundings with interest. Someone mentioned food and she turned right around. "Haha, alright, alright." Cliff turned to smile at the girls. "Frouline's hungry, too. Let's stop to eat."

It didn't take them long to find him. He hadn't gone far. It seemed more like he'd just stopped before entering. Well... now what did they do? If they suddenly changed course, they'd draw attention and probably piss him off, which wasn't what they needed. It looked like he was... relaxing. Somehow, that seemed like what he needed, so Trinity carefully motions for Penny and Sasha to just follow. And then they needed to act casual, since he'd probably notice them anyway.

"So. Penny, Sasha. You both did some hearty training for the games, huh?" She turned around and walked backwards, to face them as she spoke. "Any training secrets you'd like to tell me?"

Cliff had been watching Rowan leave, frowning softly to himself. Well, that all went very smoothly. Before he could give much thought to it, the girls were addressing him. He turns to see that they, too, are preparing to move on ahead. "Aah, yeah. Right with ya." They'd be making food when they got to Sandgem? Sounds great! He follows after Niesha, letting Frouline climb to his shoulder again.

I was trying to come up with something, but I didn't have much. Why the strict posting order, anyway? Since we have four people, why not something like... don't post more than twice within 5 posts? Or, anywhere between 5 and 7.
