WEEK 1
[Well, this is...happening. This is a thing. This is your life now. The Commander is expecting you to just up and kill one another, and then try to get away with it. No big deal, right? You guys can handle this. You won't fall for what she has. She's clearly an idiot. A loud idiot, but still an idiot. She's not going to get one over you.
...Right?
In any case, the Commander's quarters are now open for anyone who decides they can actually stand to be in the same room as her, but beware - any favor you might ask of her is going to come at a price, and who knows what she'll ask you to do if you decide to gain a boon from her. Unless you're a suck-up like Baku - then she'll apparently be flattered. Maybe that's a good tactic to use?
Whatever you do, try not to murder the bread again. The Bread Did Nothing Wrong.
There are fifteen strangers in this place.]
no subject
[He offers Rozenkreuz the book, handling it like it might bite.]
It sounds like you've had to deal with this before, so, uh... mind doing the honors?
no subject
[He takes it... the book is strange to him as well, the pages a smoother paper than he's ever seen before. Cracking it open, even the words are.]
Such uniform lettering. [Guess this means the printing press took off!! Haha nice. Just gonna trace down that table of contents here.] ...Was there a particular topic you wanted to know about?
no subject
[He looks more nauseous than grave. It'd just be his luck to have gotten knocked out and kidnapped and somehow then Nazi Vampires happened....]
no subject
Then you're in luck, as this tome does have it. But is this truly how you wish to know what will transpire?
no subject
[If he seems unnecessarily tense, well... it'll take asking to find out, but it's been a very real and very frustrating fear for him for the past few years that they might. He couldn't enlist because he was too young when the war started....]
no subject
[Well, if this is the difference in his nerves between killing his way out or not, might as well read it. It's far enough in the future for him that it doesn't matter, so he'll skim.
His face hardens in the middle, as one might expect. But in the end, he finds it after identifying several keywords to look for.]
According to this, the Reichstag is captured on April 30th, 1945, which marks the defeat of Nazi Germany. This Hitler you mentioned will also take his own life shortly after. The country of Japan... [Which he does not recognize, but it sounds kind of like the country he knows as Cipangu] ...surrenders after a weapon called the 'atomic bomb' is unleashed on two of their cities...
[But nothing about vampires.]
Shall I go on?
no subject
So next April, huh... no, no, you're fine to stop there. Thanks - and I mean it. Pretty silly of me, being all chicken, but... well, now I know. Even if I can't go home, the world's still going to be there.
[Vampire problem aside, anyway. But - he knows a girl who can take care of that even without him.]
no subject
I doubt we'll truly be here for the rest of our lives, but we must still do what we can to hold up in attrition. Even if it is but mental preparations.
no subject
[Y'know what? No. He is not making that joke, that's too morbid. There's a line and that'd be crossing it.]
Better to be ready as much as we can, you're right.
