@Dark Cloud That’s good, we need one of those so we have those set up now!
So what’s everyone’s ideas for characters? I have a Cavalier Signaler already made and ready to post once we get a Character Section set up.
I'm also dropping my interest on here though you knew that from Discord. I already have my character written up. This is Haviko sense it has been awhile for me being on here.
Austin listened to Eija and Micheal talk. Seems like they had a bit of family history going on here’s so he wouldn’t interrupt. He smiled gently as he continued to eat. Man her smile was quite infectious, honestly, he felt like he needed a good smile in these dark, heartless times. He turned to the other man and nodded to him, what he spoke was true.... He needed to find a way to pass the time and not get into a huge mess trying to keep himself sane. “I see. Very well then, I will try to keep that in mind sir. Now then, take a seat, unload a little, we all need relaxation not just me.”

He nearly gagged however when someone without warning slammed their tray down beside him and made him jump in his seat and walk his knee against the bottom of the table. Fuck! That hurts! What is with him and tables today?! He turned to see and hear the newcomer and listened to his anger..... What the hell was he talking about? Conventions? Austin was quite confused.... “Quite the entrance you’ve made...”

He listened to him and the doctor prattle on back and forth, he sure was aggressive in his speaking..... Looked like he wasn’t the only one having a bad day, a shame, but not unexpected. “I honestly have no idea what your talking about..... But you seem to have had quite the day. So how about we all relax and try to cool off?” He would continue to listen and, like Eija said, he was welcome stay, as long as he didn’t start any actual trouble. If no trouble was made, then Austin didn’t particularly care if he sat with them.

He then realized, even though he mentioned it earlier, this guy was also from Vinland! Well then, good to see a fellow statesman, but he politely declined the cigarette. “Good to see another Vinlandian here besides myself! But I must decline the cigarette. I’ve never been keen on the things. My sister doesn’t react well to the smoke they make, so my family stopped, I don’t want to start up myself. Plus, it’s quite unhealthy, so I’d recommend not smoking at all, but I won’t try and force your hands, not my place. Just thought I’d give a recommendation of health, that’s all.” Austin smiled at the group, quite the lively bunch he has acquired, he will probably enjoy all their company.

@CFProxy @Conscripts
Austin listened carefully as she told him a bit about her family. How they had seemingly survived impossible situations by the help of an unseen god. Interesting indeed. “I see. Well. I’m not telling you to not believe. We can believe what we wish too. I’ve just never had any reason to believe. I’m a person who believe something when I see and experience it, you get what I mean? The idea of a god is nice. But I don’t like placing faith in something I don’t the know is true or real, no offence of course.”

Austin would begin to eat again as she spoke a bit more, while doing so he tucked his pendant back under his shirt so it didn’t accidentally get anything on it. “Yeah..... I guess that’s all I really can do isn’t it? Just gotta follow orders until we can all go home and forget about this damned life of misery. War is ugly and I’ll be damned if I die in a pit out there. I will be counting on you out there, so stay safe ok? We all should get home alive, and pray that this war is over very soon. Because I don’t want to be stuck in a trench for three months doing nothing and getting sick. I promised my family I’d make it home, and I intend to keep that promise.”

Austin turned to the new face and smiled a bit. Ah, a new friend to join the group. “Ah yes the seat is free, come on sit down and join us. I’m just complaining about war and how it sucks. But I digress, I’m also trying to enjoy the food I get into my belly because it might be the last if we get suddenly called out.” He took another fork full of food and took a large bite and began chewing. He really hoped they didn’t get called out soon. He did not want to have to go hungry out there, it would be gruelling and harsh on all of them.

@CFProxy @Conscripts
Austin listened to her speak and nodded gently. As she spoke he would resume eating a bit so that he could get more food in his gut, God’s knew he needed it. Ah..... He should probably not mention the gods around this girl, lest he accidentally use their names in vain or give her the misinterpretation that he’s a believer himself. So her mother is, or, was a follower herself? Though the use of the word ‘was’ worried him that she may have passed on. He hoped that wasn’t the case. When she finished speaking he had swallowed the food in his mouth and went to respond. “I see. Very nice. I myself am not a pious man, but we all have our beliefs, it’s good to have faith in something. Whether it’s a god, or the next meal of the day, or that someone is there for you, as long as you have faith in something, it’s all good by me.”

She then asked him about his own pendant he then nodded and smiled, he pulled it up a bit away from his neck and held it out so she could see it better. He then clicked a piece of it and it opened to reveal a photo of a slightly younger Austin, a shorter girl with long brunette hair, a women with shorter brunette hair, and a man with black curly hair, they all had the same skin tone and they all looked happy. “This pendant reminds me of why I am here. Why I’m going to be fighting in this damned war. My father works in medical research, making vaccines, meds, you name it. I come from Vinland. And the military stopped by my door recruiting, and they didn’t give me choice, it was either me, or my mother, or my sister. And my sister isn’t old enough to fight, honestly I don’t I should be out here at all. I haven’t even finished school! But they didn’t care..... So I packed my things, and my sister gave me this pendant..... It was originally hers.... I’m only here to fight so I can live and go home, so I can protect them from harm! And if taking the empire will save them from being forced to fight...... I’ll take down the empire. We all have our reasons to fight..... My family is my reason..... Ah, sorry, didn’t mean to go on a tangent.”

He closed the pendant and let it resume hanging around his neck. He then looked to her food, noticing he hasn’t touched it yet. “You going to eat that? It’s much better hot than cold I can tell you that.” He then smiled at the girl, she seemed fine in his book. Not snobby, and down to earth, that’s good, makes it easier to talk to people like that. He had a feeling they were going to be good friends.

Austin would look up from his food to see the women addressing him take her seat. He smiled lightly, well at least he wouldn’t be eating alone. He just hoped she didn’t see him whack his toe just moments earlier. “Eija, a very nice name. Yes I am Private Dwyer. But you may just call me Austin. A pleasure to meet you properly.” He was unaware as to who exactly her mother was as he smiled at her. However he did notice the symbol of faith that rested around her neck, it was quite a well done piece that reminded him of the pendant around his own neck.

“A field medic eh? I feel like we will get along very well. I myself am a fire brigadier, so I will likely be very far on the front lines taking out tanks. It will be good to know that I got someone on the field to count on to keep me alive.” He would take another bite of his food, he always preferred to have his food while it’s nice and hot, he disliked cold food as it tasted stale, dry and overly unpleasant to attempt eating. After swallowing the piece he was chewing upon he once again gazed upon the symbol on her neck. “Are you a women of faith? Or does the symbol you bear represent something else for you? You don’t have to answer if you don’t wish to do so.”

@CFProxy
Austin would turn to see the whole scene go down...... Wow. He had no idea they were like that.... Or at least he had no idea the lady was like that. One hell of an accent too. Ah well. It will all work out in the end. They’re all in the same unit after all. So they had to work together and get over their differences to bring peace and prosperity to their homes and families. If they worked together, there would be nothing, absolutely nothing that they can’t d- WHACK!

Austin froze in place for a moment....... He then immediately put down his food on the closest table and he sat down on seat and held his foot and silently shook and cursed up profanities quietly, but repeatedly..... Apparently he had whacked his toe against the metal of one of the tables and crushed his pinky toe in his damn steel toed boot. No matter how resilient one might be, the unexpected will always hurt. How he did this not even he knows, but all he knew was that it hurt like fucking hell in a hand-basket.

After a few moments of agonizing pain, it soon faded and he turned in his seat to face the table and began eating his food. Trying to play it off and not embarrass himself in front of absolutely everyone and his superiors in fear of getting kicked off the team for non-professionalism. Because the last thing he could afford to do was get sent home without a way to actually get home. Though..... Being home wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. He missed his family and being able to help them around the house..... Sure a they didn’t live in great large buildings and had commodities out the ass, but it was a nice little home and they worked for what they had, so, he was happy with it. Any meat found in his meal, he would take out and set aside for later for his little buddy hiding in bed.

Speaking of buddies, anyone who hasn’t taken a seat to eat their food, Austin would wave them over to come and sit with him to eat. He hoped he could get to know the team a little bit before the big wigs arrived and ruined all the fun. Right now they could freely speak, at least, that’s what he figured due to the relaxed nature some of the higher ups seemed to have that were already here. He wanted to enjoy the moment, before the moment became all about this god forsaken war that is.
