Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 5

(Dormii)
=to Draco=
Well, let's see what the tournament brings us first. I'll make an offering after that and let people sign up. No sense in just conscripting people.

=i slide my hands up and down her=

how's that? *giggle*

(Miranda)

=While Jason was busy breaking the toilet, I had decided to head over to the training center, and get some practice in. Well, that, and I couldn't stand the smell. I loved the guy, but when it came to him and his bowels, I had to draw the line=

(Gabby)

=Kenny and I were down in engineering. While Argo and I worked on implementing the new math for the engines, Kenny had to work on adjusting the reactor to compensate for the new engine output=

=He nods=

Of course.

=He takes a seat=

Hmm.

(Sarah)

=The soldier he had sent wanders his way into the pool room=
=Seeing the two=

Oh...Uh...
Miss Creed. You have been called for.

=She sighs=

Okay...

=She pulls away from Talfie and gets out of the pool=
=She heads to the changing room and heads out. Picking her MP3 up=
=Waving=

Bye Talfie

=They go off to the hanger=

(Dormii)
=i watch the screens of some of the other sessions as we wait=
So, what do you think Rain is up to? Bomb defusal? Squad on squad?

(Rain)

=I get hit by a bullet=

SONOFA!

=I pop out of cover and begin firing at the opposing squad=

(Dante)

=He thinks=

Hmm.
Squad on Squad.
I think.

(Sarah)

=They arrive into the hanger of Repent and head to the lockers=

aww... bye Sarah...

doesn't like blood... then why does she fight?

=i relax=

(Dormii)
=i look at a screen=
Sarah's here.

=i start typing on the sender screen=
So, CTF, what other variables? Spartan involvement? Low grav?

(Jason)

=Nearly an hour later, I walked out of the bathroom. Was I sore? Yes. Did I let it bother me? No. Because only a few hours previously, Miranda had said yes. Nothing was going to get me down today=

=He thinks=

Hmm.
Spartan involvement would be interesting.

=He looks at him=

(Sarah)

=She walks into the locker room and gets ready=

(Dormii)
=i type into the pad=

Code:

WARNING: Spartans may be fielded. Proceed with caution.

=i look back at him=
I'll do it. She may get distracted if it's you.

(Jason)

=I decided to head to the mess for some food (non expired food, for the love of god) I had put on some clean clothes, especially clothes that did not stink=

Actually, I'm more thirsty than hungry. May as well get a cold drink.

(Miranda)

=While I was in the training center, I started punching targets=

(Dante)

=He nods=

Alright. Do not let yourself fall into darkness when you are out there.

(Sarah)

=She takes the pad=

Hmm...
CTF. Spartan Involvement.

=She sighs=

Great.

=She equips her rifle=

(Dormii)
=i get up check my armor=
I won't. But, if I do, lock my armor down. It'll be stun rounds, so hopefully it'll be a bit easier on me.

=i put my helmet on=
Don't start the party without me.

=i make a smile gesture and start walking to the area=

=i get out of the pool and dry off, i get things on and head to the mess hall where i see Tar and...=

Scythy!?


Scythe:

=i'm sitting down when i hear a familiar voice=

oh no... it's Taffy...

=i turn to lana=

lana, this who i was talking about

=i turn both of us around=

=He watches the screen=
=The recruits enter the room=
=He focuses on Sarah=

Hmm

=He speaks into the microphone=

(Sarah)

=She enters. looking around=
=Spotting some sniping points=
=She smiles=

Good

=She hears his voice=

Dante-Begin Session

(Jason)

=I walked into the mess hall. I noticed that it looked like a gunfight happened recently: there were some bullet holes, the smell of gunpowder. Still, people were there, talking, eating, laughing. So, I got myself a sandwich, and a big glass of water=

=sees jason=


more bounty hunters

(Lana)
=i keep a hold of Kurbis when we turn around. i see an albino woman holding an umbrella and an interesting outfit=
Hi. I'm Lana.

=i smile and wave=
Nice to meet you.

(Dormii)
=i head through the area. i went towards the opposite side, first, away from Sarah. i gripped my training Assault rifle closely. i kept my eyes and ears open for any targets. BeP highlights possible traffic area on my HUD with blue circles=

(Jason)

=I sat down and started eating my sandwich, but not with much enthusiasm. Hey, shit your brains out for nearly an hour, and then tell me if you're still hungry. I was more interested in the water=

=The area is soon opened up with gunfire=
=Each side trying to gain the others flag=

=She sets up on the other end of the area=
=Aiming down the scope=

Hmm...

(Dormii)
=i get a blip on my screen. i zoom in a see Sarah. i duck down behind a wall and let off a small burst at her. i quickly move and head towards the other team=

Talfie:

=I notice the woman next to Scythe, she seems older than me and an odd purple tint to her hair=

hi, I'm Talfie Josel.

=i run up to Scythe and give him a big hug=

*giggle* how have you been?


Scythe:

I thought you hated me!?


Talfie:

of coarse not!

=She hears the bullets ping off her cover=

Damn

=She fires a round and heads off to another point=
=She sets up and scans the area=
=Seeing one of her teammates near the flag=

(Dormii)
=i move along I get close to the a flag. Someone is about to grab it. i run over and hit the person with a burst of rifle fire. i slide and catch the gun as it falls. i stand back up and keep moving behind cover=

(Lana)
=i chuckle=
Seems like I'm not the only one who doesn't know Talfie.

=i put my hand in his and give it a small squeeze, letting him know I'm joking=

=She zooms in seeing Dormii=
=She takes a breath=

=She feels bullets ping off her position=
=She fires=
=Hitting a wall behind Dormii=

=She stands and runs to a third point=

(Dormii)
=i take the ammo out of the rifle and add it to my supply. i stand up and run, silently as much as I can, towards Sarah's flag. I can't take it, but they don't know that=

(Miranda)

=I was in the training center for a while. I had been punching targets, and doing cardio work. I decided to call it quits, and I headed for the mess, I was so hungry=

=i let go of scythe, but stay pushed against him and look at lana=

Scythe:

I think she's good Taffy... please get off of me...

Talfie:

=i get off=

Aww... so Scythe is this your new girlfriend?

(Lana)
Fiance, is more like it, but yes.

=i lean against him=
I understand you used to be his girlfriend?

=She sees one of the enemies come running out=
=She aims. Breath. Fires. Releases=
=The person falls=

One down...

=She stands and heads to point A=

(Artyom)

=He enters the Messhall... After two days without sleep.=

God... *Yawn* Armour...

=He sits down at a table, camouflage still activated, and falls asleep.=

(Dormii)
=i make it to the flag, taking out another person. i see Sarah's position and slowly move towards it=

=She scans. Looking for Dormii=

Hmm...


(Dante)

=He watches the screens closely=

Open your eyes.

Scythe:

Talfie:

=i hug him=

(Lana)
=i rest my head on his shoulder=

(Lana)
=i look back at her=

(Lana)
=i smile=
It's true.

=to Kurbis=
