@Prophecy@Lady Selune Oh, I definitely like activity, but multiple posts by 3-5 people in one day is a bit much even for me. The rp with the best pace to my knowledge has ~1-3 posts per day total, but honestly so long as I don't get dumped in the dirt (and that happens far easier with so many people!) I am probably good at about this speed. My concern is leaving people behind once action starts. <3

I'm good with the mentioned plan~

Breifing potentially later today or earlier tomorrow. Most likely the latter, as I have another RP that I want to start.

Sorry my post was a bit lengthy. I Just needed to get the chronology of events straight, more for myself than anything else.

@Lady Selune Hope you don't mind Henry assuming Maria's form. If you would like me to change anything just let me know.

@MegaOscarPwn Given that her sheet and narration uses "she"...I'm going to say it wasn't an assumption. =P

*happy wiggling* so excited~

Ahaha, while Oscar bothers her because he is lighthearted towards his abilities, Henry just freaked Belasý out. Expect a negative reaction.

In fact. Expect me to write one now.

Hey Oscar. Does...um, Oscar. The character Oscar, does he have any more water on him?

Edit: i'm a derp, it's in his equipment.

Yes, he does carry a bunch of it, and even some "special water", wink wink nudge nudge meme meme.

@prophecy Izkry would like to point out to henry that his statement about laughter is a fact of you're willing to let it be one. And that science says those who laugh more -- sincerely laugh -- tend to be happier. =P

I look forward to it. Henry, on the other hand, is terrified.

@Lady Selune "Without your wings"? Is the shapeshifter being addressed by the soldier, or...? Because otherwise I'm not sure what wings are being spoken of. She's not air force, is she?

Wings were given to any agent qualified to parachute.

EDIT: So, actually, nobody has their wings. Maria doesn't have British parachute training, only Italian, and unless the rest of you have it stashed away somewhere...

@Lady Selune Ah. how long did it take to earn those? I'd think the Stormbreakers would get training, but that isn't feasible with the Swiss Army, and there were only two weeks for training max -- minus travel time -- after the formation of the Westminster group. I imagine it took some time for it to be approved, and then for news to spread. So...it might or might not make sense for them to have their wings yet. What do you think? They are fully trained soldiers but I'm not sure beyond that.

Generally, two practise drops from a tower/balloon, a written exam and a plane drop. Around a month of training however.

I beg a question: could Jean be qualified to have the wings, as he has had about a year to train different "specialised" skills (as he was part of the SOE), such as sabotage and demolitions. He possibly could have the wings, but what do you think?

The Easy Company trained about two years before being deployed (from the summer of 1942 to June 1944), and that period included basic training, jump training and training in England, if I recall correctly. They started the jump training in 1943, I think.

Jean is possibly the ONLY member of the team who could have the British Wings.

@Lady Selune @Oak7ree yeah, nobody would have Brit wings, but they might recognize rank from other nations' armed forces. I believe Belasy would have more than just the rank of private, probably something closer to sergeant, but that'd be only if she works with the troops in general -- and from what I'm seeing, I think she'd more likely considered a specialist, as is her brother. That'd give her an NCO ranking of...either corporal or sergeant.

My big concern is that I'm really not sure it makes any tactical sense to deploy a group with less than two weeks of training, in some cases /no/ training, with no training as a unit, no nothing. I mean, yeah, it's wartime and they're special, but I would have thought they'd at least do basic training or teambuilding or /something/. ...Belasy thinks it's ludicrious that they didn't, but she's not in a position to say anything (if she did say things. =P)

I do know that she has earned decoration for being a sharpshooter/sniper -- not sure what level, I'll need to talk to my friend to figure out specifics. But she's a quite good marksman.

I'm wondering if they'd wear any badges -- I'm thinking no. This is undercover work, after all. <3
