If she thinks Hildr has any shame then she will be sorely disappointed.

Orange, obviously.

Then clearly Hildr's fly is down.

@Lonewolf685
You say in your char's bio she often has wardrobe malfunctions. Is it okay if I make Tilia remember how she had seen her a couple of times with her skirt's fly down?

@Hammerman

Only if she wants to invite Hildr's teasing in the future~

Well my interest is raised but I'll wait to see what the CS expects before making any claims.

Hildr Reinhardt

The two liveliest times of an academics year; The beginning and end of the students attendance at the academy. A steady thrum of excitement, nervousness, and awe standing head and shoulders over the doldrums that may rule over the frostier girls and ladies in attendance. Everything that occurred from hence forth was endeavoring to recreate the energy felt now until they all eagerly stormed back onto the trains and departed for home many months down the line, so Hildr Reinhardt was going to enjoy the good vibrations while they lasted.

Rubbing at wrists sore from spending a good chunk of the night and morning dedicated to papers which could have been handled weeks ago, the teacher slipped into the hall without fanfare amidst the crowd, pausing occasionally to smile and wave at favored students of prior years.

"Oh dear, she's at it already?" Hildr said to herself with a wistful smile as she came upon a table favored by a notorious prankster whose antics were the stuff of nightmare for the faculty to smooth over. Well, a nightmare for most others. Hildr thought Tilia's perversion was just the thing to cheer up a chill Winter's day.

"Oh Ms. Fitzregald, you seem to have forgotten something." She announced herself from behind the exhibitionist in one breath and in the next caught her zipper between her nails and drew it closed brusquely, making no effort to avoid brushing against her in the process. Her hands rose and clapped against her shoulders, taking in the mixture of surprise and relief from the students who'd been agonizing over Tilia's state of undress till now. "Don't worry I fixed it for you, just like I'd expect any of your classmates to do the same in the future. We ladies have to look after one another."

"Y-yes Ma'am." Came the stuttering reply of those who had mustered their voices.

"Good. With an attitude like that I'm sure we'll have a great class this year. Have fun with your orientations~" Her voice turned sing-song as Hildr trotted off, giving it thirty minutes tops before Fitzregald found an excuse to lower her fly once again. It brought a chuckle to her lips as she took to the faculty's appointed spot and spat beside the only other who favored the finely tailored Columbian suits.

"Well, no one's set the curtain's on fire yet. Glad to see we don't have anymore cross dressing arsonists trying to sneak in again."

Leblanc Farris

[[ Location : World's End Straits]]

"Is this really the time for changing course?" Leblanc called out in blunt deadpan, brow twitching with an irritation gnawing at her adrenaline fueled enjoyment of hectic events. On the very cusp of letting loose without any need to pull her punches before a live audience and they just had to bicker about it. If Esther and others didn't go through their portion then she'd have been liable to throw her hands in the air and storm off.

Not that the Rocs had any intent of allowing the woman standing idle in the open any such opportunity, and it was not long at all before the Bait found a taker eager to sink it's talons into her exposed flesh.

"Incoming-" She erupted from the square with the avian menace altering its descent to pursue as her hands clutched the taut rope stretched overhead and spun herself end over end with her momentum. A glance to either side assured her that the more physically inclined were bolstering the support the structures with their own strength and she hoped her acrobatics wouldn't prove as distracting for them as the rapid movement would be to the approaching Roc. "Pardon me. Just baiting the line."

Seeing the Roc soon to strike Leblanc released the rope and shot herself skywards over the passing bird whose snapping beak found only empty air while a braided rope struck it's it's over-extended neck. Where it human, the rasping noises of a desperate desire for air may have actually done something to heighten Leblanc's blood lust, but alas this was the peak of her enjoyment. Twisting herself as though a screw, her feet faced the sky as her body drove downwards upon her prey, knife brandished to silence the ungainly caws with a blade shoved through it's eye and into the Roc's brain.

A waste of a perfectly good eye as a trophy, but there was still the twin to dig out if they so desired.

Oh boy, commissars. Our Catachan will take care of them.

@Bushman501

That, or the Empire is full of Kriegsman and they are superfluous as our morale is impeccable

Though this does get me curious. Probably should have asked this before but what training standards are the minimum for cadets to even be considered to go out into the field? They'd obviously not throw in extremely young ones with no training in combat or tactics but it does not seem to be the best of the best cadets either.

@Bushman501

Well basic training exists to elevate soldiers to a common standard so they can be deployed with a uniform minimum level of effectiveness. However in a setting like this with Vessels being so proliferated it can be expected that some would take efforts to develop their skills before even entering. Ires has the standards of maintaining her royale pedigree, Leblanc got involved in street fights, turf wars, an a few gristly disappearences no Imperial official can directly link, etc.

So in terms of individual combat ability the standards fluctuate, but due to inexperience their group work is low across the board. If they still had their Captain with them then it would be better, but with an inexperienced and unfamiliar leader, things aren't as peachy as they once were.

@Bushman501

As much as I agree with this school of thought, and the scramble to recontier after a FUBAR plan is enthralling as someone who adores getting their teeth kicked in with Xcom, though in this case it isn't apt to allow.

If this plan was the product of group imput and consensus with each taking time to factor in one another's skills after having several sorties of experience under there belt, then I'd be all for it. However there was no consensus and no one wanted to take the lead of a group of largely untested cadets and thus this engagement with the Rocs is more tutorial then proper battle.

Though I do find some bemusement in talk of military stratagem when some are so adamantly opposed to their leaders actions. Ires may not be a seasoned commander of men and her plan isn't a stroke of ingenious tactical acumen, but it isn't incompetent either and disregarding an officers orders to act independent is universally detrimental to cohesion, performance, and morale.

Also no one ever asked if this totally not evil Empire we fight for actually has Commisars, indicating that summary executions may occur in the field for such acts :3
