MassasaugaEvan's Post
Evan had been intending on keeping an eye out for any mistakes the Darcsen made, but his tiredness combined with the stuffiness of the APC and it's surprisingly smooth movements meant that a half hour down the road, Evan was already asleep and snoring loudly in Sergeant Harald's ear. The occasional pothole did nothing to wake the slumbering giant, as going 72 hours without proper sleep combined with the digging he and Bons had done meant that he was utterly exhausted. He was only roused once the sound of boots on metal signaled that the APC had come to a stop and it's passengers were disembarking.
Yawning and stretching after unfolding himself from his seat, Evan smiled. All of his fatigue was completely gone, thanks to his twelve hour nap. Now he felt like he was actually ready for the day. Or night. Just what time was it, exactly? It was already dark out, and his watch told him it was well into the night. Well, his sleep schedule might be right fucked from that nap, but at least he was in perfect shape for night watch when his turn inevitably came.
The Darcsen and some of the other more proper military types were gathered around the APC's tail lights and ramp, discussing tactics and organization - Two things that Evan had no real interest in talking about. They'd figure it out. Not like he had any special expertise to lend them. "Y'all let me know when you guys got your shit figured out. I gotta take a piss." Evan spoke as he squeezed past them to get to the back of the APC and secure himself a flashlight. He needed to have some sort of light to work with out there.

The discussion was still going strong by the time Evan had come back, and the rest of the squad was milling about. Come to think of it, he hadn't gotten to talk all that much with the new recruits. Might as well say hello while he waited for their glorious leader to get his shit organized. About half of them seemed to be busy, either making their way into the bush or listening into the Darcsen's conversation circle, but a few were preoccupied. Two in particular came to his attention - Private Ashart and PFC Rousseau. The two shocktroopers were standing closer to the front of the APC and just shooting the shit, with little else going on. His targets sighted, Evan strode over and greeted them. "Evenin', you two. What d'ya think of the squad so far?"
Lilly's Post
Lilly breathed a sigh of relief as she dismounted from the APC. The darkness masked her facial expressions, so once she had made her way into the bush, she could temporarily drop her false cheerful appearance. Keeping an act up for hours on end was mentally exhausting. She took the time to rest her brain as she searched around the woods for a suitable area to do her business. Though she was of a similar situation to Evan in that she desperately needed to relieve herself, she had a few minor complications. 1) she was a girl and 2) she was an aristocratic girl who had never been in a situation such as this before. Needless to say, she took a fair bit longer getting back than he did.

Fortunately it didn't seem like she had missed much. The squad was still socializing and waiting for others to get back, so it seemed like she had a bit of spare time on her hands. As much as Lilly wanted to sulk in the darkness, alone with her thoughts, she knew that such an action would draw even more attention to her. Especially since Mr. Hunt had already suspected something was wrong with her. Taking a deep breath, she donned her usual happy cheerful persona again and set out to chat with some of the squad. Avoiding Hunt at all costs (for she did not want to have him prying further), she looked around for someone suitable to speak with.
When she spotted Brenna staring at the sky, she quickly took this opportunity to speak with her. At least Ms. Sykora was unlikely to press her with personal questions about her mental state. "Good evening, Miss Sykora. It's a beautiful night. Are you star gazing?"

@Ashifili & @Little_ninja - Not sure if you guys/girls want to, but if you are still active in this RP and want to have a proper IC conversation, we should probably setup a PM chat. That is unless you only intend on contributing one line to the conversation, have left the RP or just flat out don't want to.
@Slypheed - You know the drill, PM if you want in depth conversation.
@Lennon79 - Reply probably not needed.
