Andia: The Revolution

[King Acunasti]

"Meh, a weapon is a weapon. As long as it can kill a Shard, I'll use it."

[Eltee]

"Too true, that." Aarys agreed. "Well, I think the raid will start soon. We should probably head back to the camp."

[King Acunasti]

"Whatever you say, gorgeous." Valentin replied.

[Eltee]

Aarys returned to the camp, and sat down at the firepit. She was ready for the raid.

[King Acunasti]

"You ready to kick some ICA ass?" Valentin asked Aarys.

[Eltee]

"You could put it that way." Aarys said, grimly mounting a bayonet on her M1.

[King Acunasti]

"Hey, whatever happens out there...I just want you to know that these have been some of the most fun days of my life. You're a damn awesome girl, Aarys."

[Eltee]

"Valentin, you are the kindest, most warmhearted person I have ever met." Aarys said. "I wouldn't trade these days for anything."

Spoiler:

Except for a Klondike bar.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Sing voices: "What would you do-oooo, for a Klondike bar?

Aarys: "I'd trade my boyfriend for one..."

"Let's hope those days don't end here. I live you, Aarys."

[Leyyuce]

"Don't worry. I believe we'll be spending a good portion of the day crawling into holes, just as you request." Peter remarked grimly to Hremai. After a few moments of relative silence, he lifted a PPsh-41 submachine gun from within one of the crates, placing the weapon straight into Hremai's hands.

"It's a powerful weapon, when operated correctly. Reliable and robust, with a very rapid rate of fire- you'll want to use the drum magazines in the crate over there, to your left." Peter motioned accurately with his hand to the referenced container.

"Unless, of course, you decide upon another weapon which you'd like to wield." Peter smiled mildly, but his expression soon turned to one of puzzlement; he stepped a bit further from Hremai, craning his neck as if in deliberate concentration.

"Do you hear that? Sounds like someone is firing rounds off in the forest-" He referred, of course, unknown to him, of Valentin and Aarys's impromptu weapons practice.

"I'd better investigate- although it's probably nothing at all." With that Peter hastily departed, rifle loaded and slung haphazardly over his shoulder.

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

You live me? Damn iPods...

"I love you too." Aarys sighed, kissing Valentin.

Spoiler:

Missed the show, Pete.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

I know, these things [&@%!] me off.

Valentin chose to continue kissing Aarys until she chose to break away. He was afraid that one of them would be seriously harmed during this battle. May as well enjoy a few solid good moments before the raid...

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

Every effing time I type Aarys it autocorrects to Warts. Ughh.

Aarys did not break away, but shifted her position, her slight frame straddling Valentin.

[Leyyuce]

Spoiler:

I intend upon creating my own show, of sorts.

Peter soon came to Valentin and Aarys; noting the fresh, moist earth clinging to the soles of their boots, he suspected that they had recently ventured into the forest- yet again.

"I heard gunshots from the forest," he noted suspiciously, willing to disrupt their unnecessary embrace. "I suppose you two have something to do with that?"

[Eltee]

Aarys pulled away from Valentin. Her face was flushed, and a stray strand of air hung over her eyes. She brushed it behind her ear. "We were getting some target practice."

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Really? It's not doing it on my iPod.

"Way to ruin the moment, mate." Valentin said.

[Leyyuce]

Peter scowled, ignoring Valentin's comment.

"Why couldn't that have been conducted here, at camp? You're putting the recruits all on edge! It's simply unnecessary. Irresponsible." He looked toward Valentin.

"And you can knock that off, right away. Your little relationship doesn't take precedent to the activities of the camp- in fact, I haven't seen you performing any useful duties in days. At least Aarys finds time for cleaning her weapons, and the such. I've no idea the manner in which your spending your time, sealed in that tent.

[King Acunasti]

"Up yours, dude!" Valentin argued. "I fell into a f*cking ICA compound yesterday! I'm half the reason Aarys and I are still alive!"

[Leyyuce]

"Wake up, Valentin! You never would have entered that compound in the first place if you respected the efforts being conducted here at all! You careless disregard for duty nearly had yourself, and Aarys, killed! So don't try to play the hero. You won't fool anyone."

[JVElEven]

Spoiler:

zing!

Bonjour, monsieurs, it is morning again!

Hremai looked sceptically at the weapon for a good five minutes before shrugging and taking it (and some ammunition) along as she exited the depot, and started heading around camp, looking for someone she knew.

[Eltee]

"Hey!" Aarys said angrily, standing up. "Valentin is willing to give his life for this cause, same as me and same as you!" She pointed her finger at Peter accusingly.

[Leyyuce]

"Obviously! He seems to be very eager for the both of you to give your lives, as soon as possible- it's ridiculous! The world isn't your playground, Valentin. You need a dose of perspective. Your relationship with Aarys should come second to all else until our mission is completed!"

[King Acunasti]

"Actually, it comes first." Valentin responded. "You're single, man! You don't know what it's like!"

[Eltee]

"Hey!" Aarys said, placing her hand on Valentin's shoulder. "Give him some slack. Everyone's nervous, we are about to go into battle, okay?"

[Leyyuce]

Peter scoffed at Valentin, ignoring Aarys' suggestion of civility. "It comes first? How can you honestly believe that's a reasonable statement? Do you not realize that if we- the eight- are not fully committed to this cause, then you and Aarys will both be killed? Your relationship will be over, in the gravest sense of the word!"
