Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

@KoL Not yet anyway.

@Lennon79 Welcome back to the shitshow. We're still following the plot thread you and I discussed a year ago. Squad is vacationing in randgrize, got decorated for their efforts in vasel, and the darcsen got written out by being sent on a SUPER SECRET MISSION. Not much else, progress has been slow as usual.

Evan Carn

'Yes, dear...' was Evan's mental response to Hunt's instructions. Come on, what were they? Children? A brief look around the squad confirmed that yes, some of the younger members might indeed be considered kids (although not by much). Yeah,... maybe some of them actually needed this advice. At least the lecture didn't go too long, and soon he would be free to finally get some rest-"Will you help me with my shopping and keep nice ladies like us company?"

Damn it...

"Now why would you want me to tag along. Come on, let the old man rest." Evan offered half-hearted resistance to the request, though that was quickly worn away by some additional pleading, puppy dog eyes and smiling. Not for the first time in his life, he cursed his inability to say no to women, half his age or not. "Alright, Alright, Fiiiiine... Where are we going?"

Lilly Jatmoore

Lilly nodded along with the briefing James gave the squad, before dismissing them, but was at a bit of a loss for what to do. Milling about the lobby, she heard Miss Reinhardt and Miss Vogel planning a shopping trip with a slightly displeased sounding Mr. Carn. Ordinarily, she would have been jumped at the opportunity to join them, but she had prior commitments. Clutching her purse tight to her, she waited in one of the corners of the lobby. She and James had a date (if it could even be called that) to explore the city together.

I'll try to get a post up in a day or two. Been super busy of late (and will be super busy for the next week or two).

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Evan and Lilly are pretty much milling about right now. Lilly, because she's waiting for James, and Evan because OOC there's some chatter going on about roping the old man into a shopping trip. I'll post on the weekend unless someone else interacts with my characters first.

@Slypheed You're still good, the squad just hasn't been sent off yet (Zark, your character is the one with the authority to dismiss everyone, so could you do that when you next post please?).

He's going to school in Japan. If the rumors about the Japanese education system or socially expected work ethic are to be believed, he won't be around for a while.

As for you joining, boomlover, I personally have no problem with it but there is one issue: We are far away from any point where we could bring your character in that makes sense story wise. The closest would be for you to be with a certain person we will be meeting in a day or two (IC), but that's like... 2-3 scenes ahead. It's going to be a while.

@Zarkun I don't see why not.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Yup, rifle grenades, flamethrowers, upgraded rifles/mgs, the works.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

After the weekend gets wrapped up, new supplies will arrive at base and the squad can get some advanced training in. You are more than welcome to become a sniper during that time.

And as for the tank idea, I am 100% ok with doing something like that, but we need crew. I *could* NPC them in, but I'd really rather not. I've already got enough on my plate as it is. I can't do 4 characters at once, that's just not happening.

Evan Carn

"Well then what an excellent choice that would be. I'll have you kiddos know I could have been a movie star back in the day!" Evan chuckled as he responded to Hunt's ribbing. When Eris asked about him being trained to drive a tank, he grinned as he remembered a fond memory. "Yes I am. The vehicle course covered all of that and tanks are awesome to drive."

When she asked about him piloting a comandeered imperial tank, though, his grin shifted to a curious expression as he began to ponder that thought. "Hmmm... I mean, I could. Transmissions vary from tank to tank, but the driving controls are usually pretty standard aside from the gearbox. I might need a few hours of practice to get good with it, but I could. I don't think it would work out well though." Evan was about to list off the limitations of driving a comandered tank but was interupted by Hunt, who highlighted the biggest issue of all: crew. "Bingo." He snapped a finger and pointed a 'finger gun' at the corporal. "Give the lad a cigar, the biggest issue is we'd need a crew for it. If we captured a heavy tank or one of those two-turreted monstrosities the imperials started producing before the war, we'd need the entire squad to man it just to get it moving." Evan began counting off on his fingers as he mentally went over each crew roll in the different kinds of tanks he was trained with. "A medium tank requires 4 other crew members besides the driver and even a light tank requires at 3 people to be combat effective. Two can do it in a pinch, but then the gunner has to also load and the driver has to operate the radio. Either way, I don't think it would work well unless we got a bunch more transferes with vehicle training."
