[hmn. Land mines, buried well enough to be invisible to a charging enemy, but with enough telltale signs that one of her own could weave around them should they need to get in or out. Yeah, she knew the style. Of course, the fact that it's a Gumi standing on the edge of a mine field planted by a crazy Miku, that's not something that instills a lot

Huh. You tapped a landmine. With a gun.

Either you're hardcore enough to ignore the law of explosions, or those things pack as much of a punch as party-poppers.

[As nonchalantly as possible - the Haku she'd met was still a bit of an unknown agent]

UTAU tend to be rather fragile and even more flighty; doesn't take much more than party poppers to chase 'em away. That said, I've dealt with enough landmines before... and since I figured it was Green Platoon that laid 'em, Sasakure did what needed doin'. Not that I won't need to patch him up later, but he's used to it.

[She holds the gun up, which has blast marks and a few shards of shrapnel]

These puppies are designed to only do damage to the idiot who steps on 'em, meant to reduce collateral damage in close-range extractions. I'm not sure on the specifics, but I have t'appreciate the Major General's desire to keep casualties to a minimum.

One, what the fuck're you doing to my mines. Though that one looked kinda duddy if it only blew up that much. Two, what the fuck're you talking about?

[16_bit_warrior]

[!]

One, you're ten minutes late, Hatsune~ ♥

Two... if you don't know about the tech, I guess you aren't from the same place! Heh, shame. You bury your mines the exact same way. If I'd hit a better one, you wouldn't have to deal with me.

[offtoloveagain]

Yeah, I'm already sad you didn't.

[16_bit_warrior]

Pff, is that any way to talk to a fellow soldier? The way I see it, even if our wars are in different realities, you've got the same insignia, same method of burying landmines, same megaphone...

Hell, I figure your "Master" bought my time in order to fight the UTAU back where you came from, too. Am I headin' the right direction, here?

[offtoloveagain]

I . . . what? Okay, even on her most annoying days, the Gumi I know isn't this fucking irritating. And what the Hell, "bought?" If you mean "pays her 'cause she signed up," I guess?

[16_bit_warrior]

Mn. Guess that's the difference. I'm a merc, Hatsune. Big brother Gakupo may agree with your anti-UTAU ideals, but I'm mostly with you guys because those cheapasses don't have any money for my services.

See, unlike you guys, I just want the war over. And quick. Good for business, sure, but bad for, you know, the fate of humanity.

[offtoloveagain]

Did you not just say you were from an alternate fucking reality or something? How the Hell would you know what I, or my people, want?

[16_bit_warrior]

Mn. I was talkin' about my reality, dipshit. Though aside from your choice in explosives, y'don't seem all that fuckin' different from the 2nd Lieutenant Miku I know.

[offtoloveagain]

Well don't say "you guys" if you mean the dumbasses you know, then.

[16_bit_warrior]

So if you're so different, tell me. What's your situation, Hatsune?

[slashordash]

You know that the purpose of a landmine is to actually do damage, right?

[offtoloveagain]

Normally they do, I dunno what that one's problem was.

[slashordash]

Test the others out on her.

[slashordash]

Next time, save your breath, and just say they explode up, not out.
