Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Celeste

Celeste let out quite an audible sigh as she worked on getting the loose dust and dirt off of her skin and clothes. She looked up at the sky briefly then started walking to the showers. Recollecting everything that happened earlier. ------- Frantic. The only way she could describe everything that was happening. It didn't help that she had little experience in commanding. Everyone was everywhere and a few seemed to be doing their own thing. And with carrying a Lance, she was the slowest, luckily a shocktrooper had volunteered to stay back with her and escort her in. Brenna Sykora, from what she remembered in the documentation. Celeste was still capable of doing something in this Skirmish with the sudden appearance of Squad Six's tank. But that's when things went from being described as frantic, to hellish. First the tank took out a scout, it was hard to tell who it was exactly at her range, but they seemed to stop any harm from coming to the other scout in the same foxhole. Whether was intentional or not was unknown. But she noticed something out of the corner of her eye, it was moving fast too. It took her redirecting her attention to this object and let out a sigh. It was the squads APC, while the tactic it did was impressive, it was when it ran into a trench that was depressing. Needless to say, it was quite the distraction, which allowed someone to get behind it, and take it out. Celeste was ready to set down her lance when suddenly a pair of scouts approached them. Reacting quickly she quickly aimed at fired the lance at them, overkill yes, but it the only weapon she had quick access to as her rifle was slung on her back. Needless to say, the round connected to one, taking that one out and knocking the other back, who was swiftly taken care of by Brenna. Celeste ran over to the one that the chalk lance round impacted. "You alright?" she asked. She knew the boy was considered dead, but the rounds weren't live ammunition, and the impact of a chalk lance round was one only rivaled by a direct hit from a tank chalk round. So she wanted to make sure he wasn't too seriously injured. He nodded with the look of surprise on his face, the impact site was in the chest, and had not cracked a rib, but the boy must have had all the wind knocked out of him. Celeste was just glad she hadn't killed someone in a training exercise. And when she turned her attention back to the battle, she found a few shocktroopers with their guns trained on them. Closing her eyes so the chalk didn't sting, and once her eyes closed, they opened fire. At least they waited. She thought as she lay there, playing dead. ------- That was all she could remember. That's when she realized there was chalk in her nose, and taking a deep inhale through her mouth, she blew out the loose stuff from her nose. Which caused a little internal giggle. And after a little more walking, she was met by Lilly. Who saluted her and asked how she fared in the battle. Returning her salute, she responded "Only got one person. Poor kid, he never expected a lance to be fired at him. Tank was taken out before I could get one shot on it." She noticed Lilly's hair "Need some help with that?" Celeste's hair was covered in chalk and dirt, but was still fairly straight. She had straightened it shortly after the skirmish came to an end.

Brenna

Brenna sat on bench outside. Staring at the sky. It wasn't much, but she'd still like to sketch it. Just a sketch, pencil lines and a little bit of shading. Just something to do to pass time, maybe document cloud coverage during the course of the war? Brenna's actions in the Skirmish wasn't too exciting. She had stayed with the Corporal as a bodyguard/escort. And only took out one person. Maybe she could do something more exciting tomorrow. After a few more minutes of staring at the sky, she stood up and began to walk into the common room when she stopped a few feet short. She had already taken a shower, ate something prior to taking a shower, and relaxed outside. Something had stopped her, it was a tingling feeling on the back of her head. She spun on her heels. She had a feeling it would rain sometime tomorrow.

*gulp*

@Raven_Operative

When in doubt, blame the Darcsen :D

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

*looks at Kitsune's character* Well...good to know my possible third character that may possibly be related to Brenna in a possible sub-plot that I may still possibly be working on and that I will possibly tell Lennon of soon so we may possibly work it in somehow. Won't possibly be the only one. Possiblypossiblypossiblypossiblypossiblypossiblypossiblypossiblypossiblypossiblypossiblyposisblypossiblypossiblypossibly _{I may be tired and slightly crazy myself right now}

100 vs. Big Bad!

Like 7 people post in the interest check, 1 makes it to the OOC. Typical. I suppose i'll put in a character as well then. Soon.

@Lalliman

I've been here. Just been contemplating on which character to use. Or which character to finally make and test o 3o.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Long range power for the win

@Kitsune

Nah. All about that upinyoface shock-trooper stuff :3

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Celeste watched from afar. "Are they sure that's squad 4?" She thought aloud. Quickly taking a look at the papers she did have. "It seems that way, the squad leader is a Darcsen, the other squads don't have a Darcsen squad lead." She sighed. She didn't hate Darcsens, was good friends with one during the Mandatory military training. She sighed at the possibility that some in the squad would disregard what ever orders he gave them. But still, it was her squad now. She was the Corporal, a weird decision by Militia command, which halted her arrival till after the parade. Hastily bumping her up to Corporal from Lance Corporal. The position just about forced on her, leaving no room to argue or reject. She doubted her abilities to be a normal, everyday citizen, how could she help manage a squad in a warzone? Celeste moved towards her new squad regardless of all the thoughts trying to holding her back. She stopped next to the squad leader, silently waiting for anyone else to speak up. Celeste leaned towards Harald "Introductions?" she asked in a whispering tone. "Guess I'll introduce myself here shortly, but I'm your squads new Corporal" she left it at that, waiting for any further introductions. Once everyone else had done their introductions, Celeste did a slight nod and stepped forward. Taking a deep breath before speaking. "I've only just arrived, and it seems I've already learned some backgrounds. But lets get onto my introduction. I am Corporal Celeste Stichler, your squads new second in command from what I understand. And I'm sure the Sergeant has already said something like this, but you can come to me if you need anything." She looked at all of the faces of each member before stepping back. --- Brenna watched as other members did their introductions. She felt obliged to do an introduction, but at the same time, couldn't do it due to her anti-social personality. So she stood there quietly, hoping the sergeant wouldn't pick her out and tell her to introduce herself. But with the newer members and Lily introducing themselves, maybe the Sergeant would forget about her. And once they were done, the mysterious woman who had approached the squad and stood silently next to Harald, stepped forward and introduced herself as the squads new 2ic.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Oh yeah, accepted Slyph and added to the roster.

@Lennon79

Now, the fun part. We get to see how Harald feels about having a 2ic that will be off her rocker at times o 3o

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Well it is the same for me, either going to be a comically solemn sniper or scout commando esk char heh. In fact, Lennon I understand we have roles but do they limit our skills like in the games? For instance could a scout be sapper esk?

@Kitsune

Well, seeing as Lennon made a Engineer-Lancer combo, and my second character is essentially a Lancer-Scout combo. I'm pretty sure a Scout-Engineer(-ish) combo wouldn't be too far off from the wombo-combos we have rolling now. But, that doesn't mean I'm right. I ain't no Co-GM :P

Fight 100 of my characters?!?!?!

*throws every single "Hell yeah" I own at OP* o 3o _{Never done an Arena before, but this idea looks fun.}
