[OOC] Why We Fight? (WWII with superpowers)

[MegaOscarPwn]

@shylarah Wtf what did Óscar do to antagonize Bel lmao

[shylarah]

@MegaOscarPwn ...blew a raspberry at her? O.o

[MegaOscarPwn]

If you antagonize someone just by blowing a raspberry at them, I'm scared of what happens if you openly insult them lmao

[shylarah]

@MegaOscarPwn that's considered rude and obnoxious. It's antagonistic, and insults are probably equally bad.

In short, antagonizing means, basically, doing something you know will bother them.

[KaiserElectric]

Hey guys, sorry I've been suspiciously absent, my trips been busier then expected, going to try to get on to write tomorrow or Monday at the latest.

[MegaOscarPwn]

@shylarah

>an insult is as bad as blowing a raspberry
K lol

[shylarah]

@KaiserElectric Is fine~ Hope things are going well~

Actually, we don't have to be guests ourselves. We could be staff, or some of us. Certainly that would help us blend in better. Staff are not paid much attention to. We're best off splitting the group if we go, to cover more areas, but as Bel said -- we've no training in undercover work.

[shylarah]

Oh! That reminds me, @Oak7ree, I'm gonna be out of town from Thursday until the first of June. I will have 'net access, but I don't know how much time I'll have to write. Expect me to be slow and/or absent. ^.^; Apologies in advance.

[Oak7ree]

@shylarah That's okay. And I had in mind that the team would be included in staff (waiters and such, for example) to help them blend in. And as the Bureau doesn't have it's own superheroes, they rely on the OSS' support on this one.

And [@KessirTarkin], just a small correction to your post: the CIA hasn't been founded yet. The OSS was its predecessor, and the agency was founded a couple years after the war.

[MegaOscarPwn]

@Oak7ree I want Óscar to be in the band :^(

Also, I'll post something tomorrow night, been really busy studying my man.

[ONL]

I'm working on a post now, but don't expect it to be too long. Got to defend my bachelor tomorrow :O

[Bright_Ops]

@ONL

I feel like our resident frenchman is underestimating just how racist Americans can be during the 1940's. He will learn soon enough. :P

[Oak7ree]

@ONL Good luck with it. May I ask in what field? I had an entry exam for history today, and I feel positive about it.

[ONL]

@Bright_OpsHe does, especially since he's grown up in a less racist France and imprisoned in the friendlier Canada :P But hey, it was a plan, not a good one.

@Oak7ree History. Specifically what role the government party of South Africa did to disband Apartheid during the 80's and 90's. It's quite interesting. And good luck to you, what was it about?

[Oak7ree]

@ONL Well, I have no clue, honestly. But there were two questions. The first one had three statistics concerning the growth of human population in different parts of the world, and I had to explain what kind of historical events have affected (i.e. disease epidemics, Industrial Revolution...) the growth. Question number two was about one letter, signed by two Russian villages in 1917, to the temporary government and a soviet, concerning how the villagers wanted more direct democracy, equal society and a victory over the Germans. The objective was to analyze their expetations, society and world view.

[ONL]

@Oak7reeThat sounds like an interesting paper to write really. Do you feel that you got it right?

[shylarah]

@Oak7ree well, if they're /all/ staff, it's weird to talk to the guests. So you need a mix for gathering info. Maria would do well as society. Bel...she could. Probably. Would rather not, but I think we should make her. ^.^ But the idea is that those trained should do the info gathering, since we don't have anyone with a special gift suited to that (save Maria) and then we're the force once we know who and where.

@MegaOscarPwn to be in the band he'd need to be known to the other musicians, as generally ensembles work together a lot. And he'd need to know the specific pieces. Also bands at places like this are less guitar, and more violin, cello, maybe some woodwinds or brass. Stuff like that.

@ONL OOOH best wishes *waves pompoms*

[Oak7ree]

In my opinion, Anton, David, Maria, Johnathan and Kaneda could work as the socializing element.

[shylarah]

@Oak7ree Kaneda is visibly foreign, and he's of the sort that most patriotic Americans would discriminate against. Then again, he's very amicable, so might work. And it could be fun if he's suspected. *wide grin* that'd be nice~

I still wanna make Bel be on that team. Or Izkry -- he'd be great, but his accent is not so good. Then again, neither is Antoine's. But I really wanna force Bel. *cackles* or at the /least/ force her to interact without him as a shield by sending him to be social. Ah well. *discards ideas for fancy dresses*

However it goes down, this is gonna be FUN. <3 Bel would do well as a waitress, though I shudder to think what would happen if someone with too much to drink gave her a hard time.

OH COULD YOU IMAGINE HER HAVING TO PRETEND TO BE ONE OF THE GUYS' DATE?! AHAHA! ...Actually. WE SHOULD DO THAT. Let me do that, PLEASE! *flailing* And if David doesn't have a good feel for her, it'd be a good time to try to get a better idea while the opportunity has presented itself. He might not, she's hard to read, and he's never actually seen her under pressure. Not to mention she changed character when a mission came up. For all that she knows they need to be a team she's not practicing what she preaches...though she's at least somewhat aware of her shortcomings. ADGASHERA can we force her to be David's "date" for this?! *flailing* Please~?!

[Oak7ree]

@shylarah My answer will be: perhaps.

Then again, as Anton pointed out, Kaneda could possibly act as a soldier from Far East. The Americans supported the Chinese during the World War, and Indochina was a part of France as a colony, so he could, for example be taking a cover of a colonial soldier or Chinese officer.

And as a sidenote, it is a zone of danger out there.
