~*09 - Meritorious Service*~
Yesterday I was presented with the Golden Three-Quarters Waxing Moon of Meritorious Service in Protection of Civilian Lives During Peacetime. Grit was the only one available to give it to me, there being no-one else of higher rank in the Blue Moon Army than myself. Grit managed to not utterly mess up the ceremony. Congratulations! Perhaps someday you'll win such a prestigious award, too, Grit. It doesn't seem likely, but perhaps.
Yes, I was awarded with it for my quick thinking action that saved the life of a man who was drowning in the lake. One of the teachers here. Thanks to my quick thinking and quick conscription, Eggman is alive.
Also there's a small award for Private Lighter, in addition. Not nearly so nice as mine, as I was in charge of the operation, and did all of the commanding, and most of the hard work. Also, Private, since we're not at war currently, and it was an emergency operation, I'll honorably discharge you from the army if you want, since I'm in such a good mood. And before you ask, NO, you do not get a pension or a health care plan. Unless, of course, you'd like to stay on as a permanent member of the finest army the world has ever produced, headed by the finest CO Blue Moon has ever had? Because then you'd be entitled to those things. In addition to the honor and prestige of being a soldier in the Blue Moon Army.
I suppose you do get a week's back pay, in any case.
I taught for Eggman yesterday, as he's still sick from his aforementioned accident. Most everyone in class was respectful. Except for GRIT who isn't even supposed to be IN THE CLASS. Quite a few of the students seemed highly confused about what they were supposed to do. My instructions were perfectly clear, so I can only assume that the fault is theirs. At least two students went around eating the elk brains of their own accord, and another one passed out at the sight of them - no mettle at all; when I was his age I was killing the elks and de-braining them on my own.
Colin, have you taken care of the things I asked you to take care of, yet?
((OOC NOTE: Olaf, in addition to delicious elk brains, brought back several tubes of Blue Moon Frostbite Cream. It's actually very good because it's freaking Blue Moon, it's snowy there like half of the year. Generally if you're frostbitten beyond 1st-degree frostbite, and he suspects Ionia might be, and he's certain Petunia was, a week or two later you get rashes and blisters on the affected areas. So, Olaf is having Colin, on the sly, get a couple tubes to Ionia, and probably three or four tubes to Petunia, as she'd be likely to have more frostbite than her sister. Also Vianca is getting a tiny, tiny, tiny medal of merit, that I stole off of the Boy Scouts, the "Silver Beaver" award, as it screams "Blue Moon" the "Silver Beaver" civilian award, that looks like this: A LINK. Lighter get's a brass medal with Olaf's face on it. CONGRATULATIONS, LIGHTER. Olaf's medal is large and ostentatious and he probably designed it himself.
Captain Falcon gets mailed a copy of "The Blue Moon Winter Survival Fieldbook: Vol. 1" written by Olaf. Volumes 2-8 will arrive for him every week for the next two months. He gets no frostbite cream or medals.
My God, this OOC note is almost as long as Olaf's actual post.))
