Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Private Durandal

The young guard laid on the side of the hill, basking in the sun with her sword on the ground next to her. Birds chirped in the trees, she could hear the water trickling down the stream from the nearby river, and it was peaceful. The villagers at the bottom of the hill went about their business in their quiet little village, and all was well. It was very sudden when the clank of armor caught her ear, and she lifted her head to gaze down at an advancing column of soldiers, walking straight toward the village. Stunned for a moment by disbelief, the warrior grabbed her sword and ran down the hill, toward the advancing column.

The following battle was fierce. The warrior, though she fought valiantly, was knocked out by an explosion. She heard snapping, as though someone were trying to rouse her...

Durandal gave a groan, before her eyes fluttered open to see Skye over her. "... G'morning..." She blinks at the woman, a Darcsen, and then at her armor. Armor? And this wasn't her house. Where was she? And, wait, where- there. Her sword. That was a small comfort, but that didn't answer her question. "So, I have a question. Aah... where am I?"

Trinity Stratos

Trinity chortles to herself, plopping herself into a chair at the table with Nero. "Harrowing indeed. But, I do have to wonder what that little dart of yours does, exactly. It's probably pretty harrowing, too, huh?" She watched as Ayame went to go try, wondering how she'd do. "Jerks from earlier? Someone bothering you, Nero?" The archer turned to her friend, studying him for his reaction. She only had a moment before she heard a crash from the firing range. Ayame had gotten knocked over by the crossbow she'd picked up from the weapons guy.

"Oh, jeez." Trinity stifled a giggle and straightened her face before she spoke. "Are you alright, Ayame? That looks like it hurt..."

Trinity Stratos

Heh, Emperor Nero. Riiiight. The young lady gave a soft chuckle, rolling her eyes as Nero rolled one joke into another, terrible pun. When the genie-mage stepped up to the range, Trinity began to watch carefully. She was a little confused when he called his attack. Slayer magic? Well, maybe it was Genie Slayer magic at that. To be a genie would be to grant wishes, but... Slayer Magics were typically more direct, right?

Oh. That's because he makes up whatever. "You are a stinker. Such a deceptive tactic, though I suppose it's only natural. If that's what you've got, you've gotta do something tricky with it. But, surely, that isn't your only attack...? Aah, but I understand if you want to keep some secret techniques... well, secret."

"Here, I'll shoot next." Trinity stepped up to the range next. She shouldn't show off too much, since she's in the tournament, but a little bit shouldn't hurt. The archer-minstrel motioned, as though pulling an arrow from her quiver, and as she conitued the motion to put that arrow to her string, it formed in her hand. A plain arrow, pristine, sharp, and true. She loosed the arrow into the target in front of her, scoring a good hit near the bullseye. With a quick "repeat," she pulled her bowstring again. Another arrow formed, and she loosed it. Not far from the first. Closer to center, actually. She fires a series of ten shots, scoring one bullseye with no outliers.

"There. Not bad, ey?" The minstrel dismisses her bow and quiver, turning to her compaions with a smile. She'd step down from the range for now, wondering if someone else wanted a turn.

Oh, shit, @Lugubrious posted three days ago.

I guess mentions are caps sensitive?

So, what's going on with this fight Trinity's about to get involved in? Where did that come from?
