[OOC] Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

[Lennon79]

He was running out of ways to refer to them XD Also, just realised I forgot to replace the placeholder name for the injured soldier... For the record, his name is not BLARGH.

[Lennon79]

Must be because it's Christmas Eve, but the Guild is remarkably stable today.
Touch wood.

[Raven_Operative]

I'll try to get a post up tonight. I'm currently in transit, so I can't post. Nix that, transit took longer than anticipated. I'll try after Christmas.

And yes, it is remarkably stable.

Edit again:

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

[Spade]

Hope everyone had a good holiday
Still here

Lennon79 said For the record, his name is BLARGH.

Dude I was so confused
I was like "is he in pain or is that someones actual name?"

[Lennon79]

I was tempted to leave it as BLARGH for the comedy factor, but sadly common sense prevailed.

Could always use it as a name for an injured soldier in the future o 3o

I. AM. ALIIIEEEEEVE!!!

Sorry it took so long to get that post up (and sorry about any errors in it. I finished it at 3am..), I've been busy.

But I still intend on participating in this RP. Don't count me out yet.

[Lennon79]

Sehr gut postage. I shall reopen recruitment in the new year once people have settled down again; hopefully we should have the squad out of Rinneheim in a week or so. Once Brenna and Lilly find the enemy commander, I'll NPC them and the Imperial forces.

[Lennon79]

We'z ain't dead yet.

I had MEANT to post this on January 1st, but the guild was being uncooperative.

At about 2350hrs, the mess hall for Squad 4 was a buzz with activity. A rare ration of alcohol had been passed around, and the soldiers were in the midst of celebrations. Lilly walked around the hall, a small smile on her lips, holding a platter full of tea cups and a tea pot, offering them to any soldier not currently drowning themselves in liquor. Some soldiers were drunkenly singing Auld Lang Syne in the corner, while others were playing cards, having animated conversations, or feasting on whatever rations could be pilfered from supply without getting in too much trouble. Even Brenna, the girl who was the most antisocial of the bunch, had gotten in on the festivities somewhat, though she quickly returned to avoiding the large groups of tipsy shock troopers staggering about the room.

Offering Sergeant Harald and Corporeal Helfer some tea (and thereby marking this day as one of the few in which she ever willingly made physical contact with a Darcsen), she sat down with the rest of the squad as a voice on the radio started counting down. “5… 4… 3… 2… 1…” The sound of the clock striking midnight and chiming was quickly overshadowed by half the squad standing up and cheering. Lilly remained quiet through this, just smiling and enjoying the happy atmosphere as the celebrations reached their crescendo. After the noise died down, she spoke up, addressing no one in particular.

“Happy New Year, everyone.”

[Lennon79]

That deserves an IC reply

Simply being able to welcome in the New Year was more than Harald had expected. The harrowing escape from Rinneheim, the running battles across the countryside and especially last week's siege... Every day had been a close call. It made him appreciate what little he had left and those brave few he had come to call his own. As the last few seconds of the year counted down from a old radio, Harald took a sip of the proffered tea; well matured, but still sweet. As expected of their resident aristocrat. '3… 2… 1…' At the last moment he stood, throwing his hands into the air in celebration and joining in with the squad's cheers. 1936... A good year. A year of strife, of war... but the year when Gallia would cast down the Empire like the dogs they were.

As the cheering subsided, he clinked cups with as many as he could reach, wishing a happy New Year to everyone he could reach. The crowd soon broke up and Harald found himself alone with Krauss and Lilly, her soft voice uncharacteristically relaxed. '... A happy New Year to us all. Hell, and a happy New Year to the poor Imperial bastards out there waiting for us.' A fresh chorus of Auld Lang Syne soon started up and this time Harald joined in, raising his voice to the joy of being alive.

I'll reopen recruitment now.

[Apollosarcher]

Hello. I'm interesting in joining however I have yet to play the games. (There on my wishlist sadly funds are a little tight.)

[Lennon79]

Not a problem, it's a fairly simple setup. Just post a CS and we'll go from there. This wiki is a great help if you get stuck, or otherwise ask and we can help.

[caliban22]

Honestly loved the game, but as I am jot confident in my ability to write a full meaty paragraph, I won't be joining. On a happier note And my main reason for being here. I am glad to see an rp for this.

[Raven_Operative]

Anyone else alive in here?

[Lennon79]

Can I have a show of hands as to who's here?

[Slypheed]

*tiredly raises hand and yawns* Yo.

[Spade]

[Raven_Operative]

Still here of course.
