Pre-Battle Arrival/Prep Thread

Get your Comm links here!

[derek_bliss]

[First thing Derek will do when they get to the ship is order up enough water proofed comm links for everyone in the draft and take them to Caesar for distribution. If anyone needs explanation and/or Caesar needs help getting them out to folks, Derek will help with that. Once those are taken care of, and anything else Albert's brother might ask of the hunter, Derek will make his way to his assigned ship (a) and get settled in.]

((OOC: This thread is pretty much just for people to know that we have comm links and state if they want one and /or ask Derek about them or whatever. Derek's actual thread will be elsewhere in the post))

[mydearapple]

[These things are pretty new to Caesar, so he'll need some explanation before they get to distributing them.]

Are these those things you mentioned before?

[derek_bliss]

Yeah, they are.

[Derek will motion Caesar over so he can look.]

Shaped to go around your ear--this part [points to the ear bud] fits on your ear.

Channel adjustment is here, volume here. That over there, [Indicates the comm box] can be used, or the comms can be adjusted to respond to the ship's radio. Got em waterproofed, military grade, so they don't break easy at all.

Both days! Mostly on Ship B.

[lostinmyway]

[For the most part, Grune will be staying with Team Legacy (Orerines Division). However, given her tendency to wander, especially during lulls in fighting, it's reasonably safe to assume you can catch her on any of the three ships.

During the fighting, Grune will, surprisingly enough, be casting spells! Mid-level ones, at that! If she's cornered, she'll defend herself with a large, heavy...urn. Yes. Meatshields very appreciated in these instances!]

Second day!

[lostinmyway]

Oh, didn't you? [She's completely unaware she was worrying him sick.

Catching sight of his injury, she sets down her urn and reaches inside. A moment later, she comes up with two Apple Gels.] Here. This will make you feel better.

Probably both days? I requested that Giles was on Ship B

[consultmybooks]

[During the day, Giles doesn't wander far from the cannons, although he'll use his journal to keep in touch with allies and friends on the other ships. It won't be very often that he ventures over to the other boats during the day, although it might happen. You never know. At night, however...whenever there appears to be a lull...he'll use whatever means are provided to stop in at the other battleship and the cargo ship, especially if assistance is needed tending to the injured.

Whenever battle looms? He'll be operating one of the battleship's cannons, taking aim and firing at the Third Party ships in the hopes of getting them to land in the water. If hand to hand fighting becomes necessary, he'll be on deck to do so.]

Day 1?

[lostinmyway]

[At some point during one of the quieter moments, Grune will head over to visit Giles at his battle station. Whether that moment stays quiet, however, remains to be seen.]

Hello, Giles! Do you need a gel?

Day 1!

[consultmybooks]

[Giles looks round from where he'd been staring distantly up at the night sky. His welcoming smile is a little dazed...partially explained by the bandage around his head...and truth be told his ears are still ringing from the evening's round of fire.]

A what? Oh, um, a gel?

...that would be very nice, Grune, thank you.

[lostinmyway]

You're welcome!

[She sets down her urn on the deck and reaches inside. A moment later, she comes up with a Lemon Gel.]

Here you go.

Both days!

[lina_revolution]

[Lina had almost forgotten what it felt like to have her full powers at her disposal.

This? This is niceShe doesn't need no stinking weapons - any Third Party ship that dares show its prow before either boat will soon find the sorceress flying up to meet it, dodging whatever friendly fire she can from her own side and dodging whatever unfriendly fire she can from the other

[floralphantasm]

[Well, isn't that something. Fireballs, giant black energy sword things and humongous laser beams that seem to cause explosions when they hit their targets.

That's interesting.

Hopefully Lina won't mind if a flying youkai swoops in to get the finishing blow on whatever battle ship she was currently focusing on with a Master Spark. After that, she moves on to attacking another nearby ship with rounds of danmaku.]

[lina_revolution]

[Lina will mind very much, actually.]

Hey! If you don't want me to fry the hair off of your head, stay out of my way!

[She soars after Yuuka to attack the next ship.]

[floralphantasm]

[Sorry, she can't hear Lina over the sounds of her amazing kill stealing skills.

She does however notice as Lina flies ahead of her and onto the next ship.]

My my, that eagerness of yours could well be your downfall~

[Firing more danmaku at the next ship, hopefully before anyone else can sink it first.]

Both days, primarily ship B

[shadedsunlight]

[Ginia keeps herself busy learning the ins and outs of naval combat and familiarizing herself with the cannons and how to prep, load, and fire them, while also getting used to being at sea. When she has a chance, she'll check the journals for any updates and to keep in touch with people

During battles, she'll assisting however she can with the cannons and definitely on deck once battle gets a little closer.]

[consultmybooks]

[Early in the morning, during a lull, Giles will probably be one of the ones giving her lessons in how to clean out a cannon.]

If we had the people to spare, the ideal situation is not to move from one gun to the other at all. Or so Kennedy told me.

[shadedsunlight]

/Makes sense. A set team sticking to a specific cannon or set and carrying out set duties means less mistakes made./

[consultmybooks]

In these cases? The important thing is to keep them in shape to fire.

Speed is the key. Enough shots will eventually hit.

...nothing like fighting back home, but that does seem to be how it works.
