Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Just FYI, I'm gonna be out of comission until next weekend. Finals got me like "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!~"

@Massasauga

You might get a notification saying I mentioned you in one of my posts. I had interacted with your character but forgot about you and Kol's agreement. Sorry!

Evan Carn

"Heh, well yeah. You had enough holes in you that Bons was right confused about whether to treat you or use you to strain pasta" Evan took a long swig of his water before leaning in closer and gesturing towards the topic of his discussion across the room. "I gotta hand it to the boy, though. He did a good job of stitching you together in the back of a moving APC." They didn't have a chance to talk much more than that though, as it seemed the Darcsen felt he was needed elsewhere. Carn's expression quickly darkened when Harald patted him on the shoulder as he passed by. "Don't touch me, Darcsen." Once the sergeant left, he brushed off his shoulder. At least it didn't seem like he had gotten too much grease on him...

Lilly Jatmoore

Lilly smiled slightly as she examined the sketch Aria handed over. "My, My... Well I am glad you were able to abstain from further violence. Your drawing is quite well done as usual, Aria." When Aria asked her again about appearing in her sketches, Lilly masked her briefly darkened expression by taking a bite of potato and chewing thoroughly while holding up a finger to signify 'wait'. "Thank you for asking me Miss Hexner, but I still would prefer for you to exclude me. I do not... Ah, never mind." Lilly waved her hand as she abandoned what she was about to say and took another bite of food, descending into silence for a moment while she ate. That silence was quickly broken, however, when Aria asked her how she was and thanked her for her actions in the battle.

"Please pay it no mind, Aria, I am just glad that you were not seriously injured." Getting off the topic of her being in Aria's drawing lifted Lilly's spirits again and she smiled wryly as she continued. "If anything, I should be the one apologizing for not being as collected as I should have been in that battle... But regardless, I am well. Thank you, Aria."

The conversation died out a bit, as the two ate, but Lilly brought it back up again when she remembered something she had wanted to ask. "Aria, are you able to draw from memory? Everyone is probably too busy to pose, but I would like to commission sketch from you. I was hoping you could draw a picture of our squad before any more people get transferred out. Excluding myself, of course."

@Zarkun Except it's still very unpleasant to be sitting beside someone who's smoking... Even if she did stand up and move to the back (stepping over everyone's legs and packs, because APCs are always cramped), she'd still reek of it when she sat back down. Not fun for most parties involved. It makes sense either way.

Lilly Jatmoore

It took a while, but by the grace of the Valkyrur, none of the stains or scuffs Lilly's skin and uniform had collected proved to be permanent. Nearly an hour after she had started, she exited the showers, went to her room and got dressed. The barracks around her was almost completely empty, so she was able to don a fresh uniform without the worry that someone might walk in on her. It appeared that everyone was busy socializing or attending to other duties around the base. Taking advantage of the peace and quiet, Lilly flopped limply onto her bed and closed her eyes. She might have fallen asleep right then, if her stomach had not growled fiercely a minute later, jolting her back to reality. "Well I guess sleep will have to wait..." She certainly wasn't going to get any relaxing done while her stomach was attempting it's best impression of a feral dog, so with much reluctance, Lilly rolled back out of bed and made her way over to the NAAFI.

Lilly couldn't help but smile when she arrived. Apparently while she had been cleaning herself, a significant number of the squad had met up here and were in the process of eating, chatting and making merry. Seeing a bunch of her comrades chatting away like they had been back in training brought a sense of normality back to her and lifted Lilly's heart a bit. They had only been gone for a handful of days, but Lilly had already gained a new-found appreciation for peaceful moments like this. Now, she mulled to herself as she stood in line for her food, the question was: where would she sit? She would have loved to sit and enjoy dinner with James, but he was talking with a girl she didn't recognize. Maybe Squad 4 was getting another transfer? At another table sat Mr. Carn, Sgt. Harald and Ms. Rousseau. It seemed like they could accommodate another person, and Lilly did want to ask Harald how he was doing, but... Well, she was not particularly comfortable around Evan. His cavalier attitude about war was not something she appreciated, but it seemed to leak from every fiber of his being. In her survey to find another table, Lilly eventually spotted one seating a lone figure in the corner of the mess hall. Aria Hexner was there, happily (or unhappily? In truth, Lilly did not know about the girl's tastes in food) munching away on her food, and being completely ignored by the rest of the group. Hmm. Well that would not do! It just seemed too sad to have a squad member eating alone, especially when they had just been fighting side by side. Once she had collected her dinner, Lilly made her way over to Aria's table. "Good evening, Miss Hexner, would you mind if I sat with you?" Lilly quickly caught herself, remembering both what James had said about calling people by their last names, and that Aria had explicitly requested this of her as well. "Oh, my apologies, you said I should address you as 'Aria' last time we spoke." She paused to take a bite of potato (for her stomach was still growling), but continued on once she swallowed. "So, Miss He-Aria. How are you? Have you made any more interesting drawings since last we spoke?"

@Evil Snowman When I make my post, would you like Lilly to bump into Aria and maybe start a conversation or something? Could give you something to post about if you want.

Edit: It's definitely not coming before Friday, though. Got a test that I'm studying for them.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

I'll try to get a post up on the weekend, I've just been insanely busy. It's the end of year crunch and I've got final projects and theses presentations burying me.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

@Massasauga Ah. Yes, that would do it. Well I hope you get the electricity back soon. *Looks at IC* Not like you're missing much ATM anyway, though.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

@Massasauga OW. What happened? That's more than just the usual transformer exploding.
