DEPLOYMENT 3: Basic Training 101

Jul 22, 2011 20:35

[Back on the 20th, the Postman delivered to Balin his AFS physical training uniform and some of his other Recruit gear, except for the sidearm and its holster. Which is just fine for Balin! He'd prefer the uniform over gimpy Fifties attire anyway.]

[ACTION - ALL RESIDENTIAL STREETS (Late Morning/Early Afternoon)]

[So, since Balin isn't on shift ( Read more... )

Yeah. Think it was the Roller Rink. S'got some kinda hall of fame for the MVPs. Trophies, nameplates, everything. Problem is I don't think they take the names down if the, uh, "winner" gets droned. Haven't checked for a while, anyway...

[And yes, there's a hint of bitterness there.]

walking_nuke August 7 2011, 05:28:41 UTC

[BINGO!!]

[That is more than what Balin could have hoped for! Yuri, you have just made Balin's day. Although, he doesn't look pleased to hear this. Nothing awesome about such a grotesque display of serial killing, after all.]

[Balin gives a nod.]

That's ahright. I'm definitely gonna go down'ere an' check it out. Hell, even if some of'a people in'at trophy room got permanently droned, still good to write their names down. Never know if they might come back anyway.

bitemescumbag August 8 2011, 06:14:47 UTC

[He nods. Not that he expects them to remember, but there's one name he'd be interested in talking to on that list, himself...]

Like I said, just remember they ain't all assholes. Hell, think I heard somethin' 'bout people who didn't even get their hands dirty -- like, at all. Not even havin' underlings or anything -- people like that making it onto the display.

walking_nuke August 8 2011, 06:32:34 UTC

Wait, y'mean like, they didn't kill anyone durin'a incident an'ey still got counted as killin' somebody at'a trophy room?

bitemescumbag August 8 2011, 06:42:28 UTC

Yeah... I think it was something like... if someone else killed whoever was on your letter, for whatever reason? Counted for you. Best answer I can come up with.

[He throws his hands in the air, agitated.] Remember when I said it was a mess? I forgot it was a goddamned mess instead of just a regular one.

walking_nuke August 8 2011, 06:52:27 UTC

Meh. I shoulda figured it wouldn't be all easy. Still, it's a start.

And it's not like I'ma go gunnin' down'a people on'a list. It's just good'a know who might lose their marbles easy, yanno? So in case they ever pull a knife, you'll be ready. Or whatever kinda powers an' weapons'ey got.

Oh, say ... [Balin has a sheepish, goofy grin now.] I don't think we traded names yet. [He holds out his hand for Yuri to shake.]

Sergeant First Class Balin Wilbur.

Hn? Oh. Oh, right. [Always the worst at introductions, this guy right here...]

Yuri. Yuri Hyuga. No rank or anythin'.

walking_nuke August 8 2011, 21:13:15 UTC

[Yuri Hyuga. He'll remember that.]

Heh, not in'a military back home, I take it? Lesse, you said you're from 1914 ... did World War I start yet?

bitemescumbag August 8 2011, 21:51:28 UTC

Nah. Rules and regulations aren't my cup of tea.

World War 1? I guess so. Most of the continent was a mess... what, there was a second huge fight later on?

walking_nuke August 8 2011, 21:56:45 UTC

Yeah. Assumin' your world's gonna be anything like mine, then you oughta expect a worldwide economic depression in'a 1930's. Politically, shit will start hittin'a fan in'a mid-Thirties, an' then World War Two will hit in '39 an' last till'a mid Forties.

An' then it's gonna be'a Cold War all'a way up to'a Nineties.
