[Voice]

[On the morning of the 25th, the voice function of Shirley's journal clicks on. The viewfinder shows the overcast sky; wherever she is, it's outside. While Shirley herself can't be seen, her voice can be heard quite clearly.]

So... I stand like this? And -- hold my fists like this... hmm... Should I say it like that too?...

[Fenimore probably saw Shirley leave in the morning to go get the alliance marine outfit, but didn't think much of it if she did--could be grocery shopping or just out on a walk.

Just around the time when she'd start wondering where Shirley had gone, she noticed Shirley at a distance outside a window. As she got up to go to talk to her, she overheard the voice function. She's not quite sure who this Nala person is, but there's way too many questions about that post to concentrate on just that.]

[When she comes outside and gets close enough to get a good look at Shirley, she snorts from contained laughter and puts a hand over her mouth. She tries not to giggle when she speaks.]

Shirley, what are you doing?

[action] prayingone January 27 2010, 04:37:13 UTC

[No giggling at her True Calling, Fenimore. That's just unkind. Shirley turns at Fenimore's voice, smiling brightly.]

Oh! Good morning, Fenimore; I didn't see you there. And I'm training!

[action] xelhes January 27 2010, 04:41:45 UTC

[As if you aren't going to do the same for her when the time come around.]

Uh, good morning. Training, huh? Are you trying to immitate Senel or something?

[action] 1/2 prayingone January 27 2010, 05:46:19 UTC

No!

[action] prayingone January 27 2010, 05:47:23 UTC

[...]

... well, maybe a little. Senel is the only Alliance Marine I know.

[action] xelhes January 27 2010, 05:50:35 UTC

[giggles, because she's assuming that Shirleyis immitating Senel and just doesn't want to admit it.]

So where did you get the outfit? Is Senel out there looking for his uniform now?

[action] prayingone January 27 2010, 06:02:34 UTC

This is a spare... and Senel doesn't wear his uniforms much anymore. I'm sure he won't mind me borrowing it; he'll understand, when I tell him what I need it for.

[action] xelhes January 27 2010, 06:08:25 UTC

For your "training," huh? Well, if you keep it to just punching trees, probably.

[action] prayingone January 27 2010, 06:34:23 UTC

No; I'm borrowing it because I'm going to be an Alliance Marine... training is just part of that.

[action] xelhes January 27 2010, 23:48:09 UTC

...You're going to become a what? [She sounds more amused than surprised, as she still hasn't realized that Shirley's being serious about this.]

[action] prayingone January 27 2010, 23:56:00 UTC

I'm going to become an Alliance Marine, Fenimore.

[She says this in a completely serious tone of voice.]

[action] xelhes January 28 2010, 00:17:59 UTC

[She's about to laugh, but...serious Shirley is serious.] ...No, seriously, what are you doing?

[action] prayingone January 28 2010, 00:29:19 UTC

Didn't I just say that I was training to become an Alliance Marine?

[action] xelhes January 28 2010, 00:35:35 UTC

Yeah, but...Shirley, you can't be an Alliance Marine.

[action] prayingone January 28 2010, 00:59:07 UTC

Really? Why not?
