Wow, aside from Lennon, Skeptic, and myself, everyone has just suddenly poof'd. I guess finals/holidays do that.

Lilly scrambled after Harald, nearly diving through the doorway he was waving the rest of the squad into. Once inside, she nearly jumped at a shadow she thought was an imperial trooper, but fortunately realized her mistake before embarrassing herself further. As the rest of the squad filed in, she sat down in a corner clutching her rifle against her, shivering, and frantically trying to get a hold of herself. Once everyone was inside, the Sergeant closed and locked the door before waiting a few minutes, listening. After a short while, the sounds of gunfire and explosions became more distant, and he turned to address the group. Lilly nodded along as he detailed his plans, eager to get as far away from front line combat as possible. They only had three weapons, not nearly enough to equip the squad. ... And by the time they were equipped, she didn't think they would be able to do anything. Rocking back and fourth in her corner, Lilly spoke up when Harald asked for opinions. "T-theres too many of them. We can't fight and army with a pair of rifles... We-We need to get out of here."

Lilly's voice was shaky as she spoke, clearly telling of her nervousness. She didn't know what to do, just that they needed to get out of here. She took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down as the squad waited for Harald's signal to get moving again. Thankfully this break gave her enough respite from the stress to get some of her focus back. Over the course of the break, her hands became less shaky and once she got her mindset back of focusing on everything in a systematic manner, she felt like she was calm enough to actually make use of the rifle she had picked up. Cursing herself for her uselessness before, she steeled her resolve to not be caught in a panic like that again. She was terrified, shaking, and unsure of herself, but the one thing she resolved to do is be able to actually fire her rifle when the time came. When the 5 minutes were almost over, she stood up, gripping her rifle tightly. She might not survive, she might be scared, but she refused to be useless any longer.

I'll get a post up today. Had a late shift at work last night.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

I understand mahz is running this site on his own hardware/code to avoid anything like what happened to the old guild... But the old guild was NEVER this bad for instability. Oh well. I'll make a post after someone else throws one up. I did just write one after all.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Sometimes I believe that the guild actually stays up for a period longer than a few minutes at a time... But I'm starting to believe that is a myth. Also: Yay for the heavey metal vehicles!

Despite it's lurching pace, this is not dead yet!

Though I do think we lost about half the squad.

Being the first in formation behind the Sergeant, Lilly had ended up scrambling onto the same side of the street as him when the impromptu firefight broke out. The sudden volley of bullets that sprayed the corner caused her to shriek again in surprise, cowering behind Harald and clutching her S1 in a death grip. A sudden flurry of motion caught her attention as she saw her Sergeant making frantic hand signals before hurling an old, rusty grenade around the corner. The explosion caused her to shriek again and she probably would have been left behind, had her sergeant not grabbed her and dragged her after him when the rest of the group sprinted back down the street.

During the run, Lilly had managed to get her balance back and was following just behind Harald. Her nervousness had started to die down just enough for her to notice that she could often see brief glimpses of Imperial troopers through the alleys, no doubt running down other streets. "S-Sergeant! Imperials!" She tried to alert him to them by pointing as they ran, but the Sergeant seemed much more concerned with getting away from the previously encountered group as quickly as possible - a notion that Lilly wholeheartedly agreed with. Though she was shaking too much to accuratly fire her rifle, she tried to help by calling where she spotted enemies. At least then, Harald would get a better idea of what was chasing them.

I was waiting for Spade to post, but if he hasn't after I finish class, I'll throw one up.
