Alex is probably back at base, snorting cocaine.

@Lord Orgasmo

Sorry Cocaine is as rare as dodo birds since the cocoa plants required are so far south; we do have opium to smoke but if it becomes an issue we have ways of controlling your habit

Count your'selves lucky, I erased a long ramble

I will now Instead Write a thread Bump as Petra/Amy

I still wonder why Technicians would be risked as Troopers and have therefore shall use the now Zombied Amy to Show a Specialist who is closer to the Teamsters than the Military arm. If Amy wants a Machine taken or stored for later retrieval the task of doing it falls on Petra and her Teamsters to arrange it's transport or cache for later transport.

Technician, Doctors and even Engineers would be in the reserve like the Teamsters for logical reasons

I left Tidbits in the hider but posted it in Abby's Character Sheet

Muv-Luv || TSF Forefront

She's still a work in progress but here's proof of work

Kwan

Pilot Suit

Name: Yu Kwan (Kwan)

Age: 19

Height: 1.88 (6’2”)

Weight: 67 kg (148)

Gender: Female

Nationality: Chinese though born in Japan

Branch of Surface: Imperial Marines

Rank: 2nd Lieutenant

Experience: Veteran

TSF: Type-97 Fubuki

TSF Loadout:
Type-87 Support Assault Cannon
Melee Halberd
2XClose Combat Daggers

TSF Role: Impact Guard

Personality: Kwan lost her parents at age 6 and was taken in by the government and placed in the Alternative Care Facility Iwate Prefecture and adapted quickly to her new life making her an Institutional Person more at home in an organized bureaucracy than what many might see as a normal environment.

As part of her indoctrination in the institute Kwan learned to enjoy being another cog in the machine sublimating her needs for those of the group. Taught by her former teachers and guardians that excuses were useless she accepts responsibility for her actions without complaint. Another trained response is to accept cheerfully any task assigned to her and finish no matter the personal cost in physical or mental exertion.

Aware that her stature is abnormal for a woman Kwan operates as the female most useful for heavy work even enjoying the feeling of accomplishment.

She enjoys cooking and will volunteer for kitchen duty to have the chance to practice her craft even making the government supplied food taste better.

History: Orphaned at 6 Kwan became a ward of the state and doomed because of her genetic nationality and age to be in the bland care that made up the faceless children. From their ranks many a troublemaker come and there are those like Kwan who thrive in the environment.

She didn't have many friends at the Iwato Alternate care facility she called home because many thought her a pawn of authority. Never a Suckup to authority but also never a thorn so long as authority also played within the rules Kawn is pragmatic about life and understands there are times when her own ego doesn't count in the common thought. She sees society as a function of consensus, she enjoys order and predictability so long as she is given dignity.

Experiencing a growth spurt at 10 and continued at breakneck pace to an additional 30 centimeters by age 13 her clothes were always too small. (Kwan is still growing having gained 12 centimeters from age 17 to her present age of 19

Institutionalized in her thought and general environment Kwan was smoothly inducted and trained as a Marine, one of her instructors commented "She must have been an easy birth because she was an easy Marine"

Her Deployments are about as average as a Marine's get standing out for no notable success or failure she is a Bland study of statistics...a Grunt.

Her only claim of any fame is as a female Judo practitioner but she's never joined in on any sort of competition gaining her rep on the unit training mats.

All in all Kwan's Biography could be used as punishment or a cure for insomnia but who knows what her future holds.

Extra: Kwan feels as if she has been shirking her duties in her last deployments and hopes to find a release for a pent-up energy that she has discovered every time she has chased the sound of guns

"The Nail that sticks out gets hammered down"

Theme

@FrostedCaramel Added a bit of History, sorry if it's bland but that's how I see Kwan's life to this point; Bland.

She doesn't rock the boat because she understands how to work the system subtly in her favor; "The Nail that Stands out is hammered down" is her moto

Not sure who?

Tidbits of Abby

Abby is the type of girl who lives music in a large way. She’s always scouring the sources for every new sound and genre. Listening to music in languages she has no idea what they are talking about but moving to the beat as she surrenders to the raw emotions every good song contains no matter where or when it is from.

Abby lives bathed in sound almost 24/7 her lovers finding her bed impossible to actually rest in enjoying falling asleep with her sound system thumping at near ear damaging levels. She sings at her whim to whatever is playing matching the other singer note for note trying to understand the emotion that formed the rhythm, the lyrics, and whether they were written together or fitted to each other one being done before the other.

In shortly after her appearance at Isle of Wight she gave an interview while making “The Mouse That Roared” said when called an up and coming musical artist.

”I am not a Musical Artist, I’m a Worshiper of Music; if Music were a person I would gladly be its slave; I already am”

Some say it's the music she’s confessing her love to in her song “Bend me to your Will” (track 4 TMTR)

She's never still on stage and she can shift personality instantly going from seductress, to angry Diva, and wherever else her passion takes her. Her moves have no choreography and no two performances the same her moods reflected in small ways in her performance.

She throws herself around so violently many have feared she’ll someday fling herself off stage and into the crowd.

A dry or uninspired crowd doesn’t cause her doubt and only makes her shift performance to fit the desires of the fans. Aware that many of her fans are attracted to her because of her Lollie look she doesn’t shy away from it or pander to it instead using her voice to enlarge her presence.

Trained to work in an Opera company which means acting while singing she is trained in using body language to accentuate her performance. When performing live she is a slave driver as far as her stage bands are concerned demanding that the fans have trouble distinguishing live from studio performance at every show.

When she sings even for fun she’s dedicated to the sound of the performance over all else.

She is never late for rehearsal, she is always supportive of her band when in studio only causing friction if she feels her boundaries are not respected.

She’s never moody in the studio, she never does drugs, drinks or exposes herself to negative situations; if she is part of anger or a bystander she cuts it off by leaving and retreating into her headphones till she feels calmer or the anger has moved on, if it remains she asks Pax and calm discussion.

Because of her Opera training she is also able to speak if not fluently then make herself understood in Italian, German, French, Russian, and English as well as Welsh.

She’s horrible with finance but always ering to the conservative side, you’ll never catch Abby dropping 10 grand for a jacket, maybe Charity but never for an article of clothing.

She loves Bootsales and Second Hand clothing stores and strangely collects odd Coffee cups but hates paying full price or buying them new.

“The Discovery is part of the Memory” -Abby as concerns her collection-

Sorry but like Abby I have boundless energy reserves and got bored

Oh now I want Abby to do her own cover of this one



I've always loved the use of bass

I suppose these should be added to the list of probable covers

"She Da Devil"

Vicky heard Billy’s shot but saw no strikes in her field of view but she did see a guy with a shotgun among the raiders and it was a drum fed semiauto think he could make better cover between shots; he forgot or didn’t know there were 2 rifles looking down.

SNAP!

Went the enfield sending another 30/06 round down range to enter his left ear and pop out his right eye.

It was another perfect shot won after hours, weeks, months, and years of dedication to never wasting a shot for making another problem allowing a downed foe to become a Risen by her hand. Many who watched the yearly competition with black powder and saw the display of the Marksmen mistook accuracy as showing off which it was at competition but here it was a business that required precision because unless they were lucky she and Billy had 100 rounds each to last till their return.

She had to check fire at that point as she saw a close silhouette cross her field as an unfocused blur.

That’s when she saw a black haired girl and about 8 kids of mixed sex and under 10 above 6 years old. The girl was running at an angle to her and Billy’s position and would soon be behind them and the kids out of the battle field.

”Billy NCBs east west moving through our forward cover she said calmly but felt a pain maternal tug her to see them safe and protected as she made sure her partner had them registered

Slackers...You Figure it Out

"I'm not heartless just a Slacker who wants to get by on only what is required with the least effort.

If everyone gets sick then I have to constantly disinfect clean up and well work my rear off; I hate it.

I only perform a logical function to limit your chances of cross infection; part of that is shortening your recovery time" said Mandy as her fingers fly across the keys of her laptop at 115 wp.

and the music shifts



"Did you know that during a ritual a Voodoo worshiper is filled by Loa, lwa and the like which compel the person to either act like an animal or a lust filled being.

Some believe its possible to make people into a living zombie kind of like the date rape drugs work but on a more permanent level and one of the key ingredients is a fungus? "

Mandy stands when the normally dull-witted algorithm picks a good song to follow.
Her hips begin to sway in slow arcs like a belly dancer

"Then there's what I discovered about hormonal levels and their effect on viruses.

You see the immediate effect of altering the body chemistry is to shift the power of those antibodies native to the body as compared to an invader.

I read somewhere that long ago to help a king or hero recover it sometimes only took a dance from a young woman. They attributed the effect to a goddesses intervention but I believe it was active body chemistry"

Slackers...You Figure it Out

@Blueflame

Mandy pulls a box of tissues from the box and sets them on the Table

"Can't have you making everyone sick"

Then she goes and fetches an extra wastebasket for the tissues

"Don't get used to it and try not to cough into the room

Don't need another Tamako Maru"

Then she returns to her spot behind the bar and washes her hands and mixes herself a lemon punch

Slackers...You Figure it Out

@Blueflame

Mandy sees Mason's condition and stands, exits into her apartments at the back and returns with a cardboard box the says Coughing Sickos and sets it down on the table with him removes an electronic thermometer and a case of sleaves pops a new one on then without asking plugs it in the guys mouth after which she pulls out a vaporizer and starts it up. Once those things are done she pulls the beeping machines and reads it before pulling out a nice collection of cold medicines

"100.4 degrees" she says as she walks away and back around the counter where she reaches into her private stock and pours the guy some Lemon juice, spring water, honey, and a shot of whiskey which she stirs on her way back to him.

"Here drink"
