YOU MAY BE A LOVER BUT YOU AIN'T NO DANCER

[strangerpeople]

HELTER SKELTER

[Well, Champions, it certainly does look like you're trapped here.

There's limited food and limited supplies... and while there's a limited number of you, there's certainly too many of you for what you've got on hand. Never mind the whole deal that you've been kidnapped and shoved into someone else's house. Like, who even does that?

And all to "send a message," besides. Whatever that even means.

Regardless, things aren't going to change by just sitting and moping around. You're here until your captor decides he's done with you, so while there's no guarantee that acting won't just make things worse, it's got to be at least a little better than this.

Right?]

[this is what he deserves for all the times he made Zen babysit him while he was drunk.

He's a bit piqued by this though.]

You mean guard duty? ...I've been wondering what your life was like before this place.

[stopfen]

Yeah, that's it.

[Hadn't she mentioned it? Oh wait she'd been wearing her uniform and figured people would know that. But then everything happened. ]

I've been in the military for seven years now, an officer for the last three.

[starswink]

Wow... we should have been calling you by your rank then! I'm sorry!

[a trenchcoat doesn't always have to be a military uniform to him... if it weren't for the time period she mentioned, he'd have thought she was some kind of pilot based on the wing logo.

Come to think of it, her clothes seem too modern for the time period she gave in general. Weird. Now he's visibly in thought.]

[stopfen]

Eh, it's fine. [She just waves it off.]

I'd rather I was still a cadet. I don't need the money and some of the cadets can be...weird.

[How do you deal with a 15 year old fangirl?

...Also she's seen a car.]

[starswink]

[he probably missed that she's seen a car, to be fair.]

Cadets? You're in charge of training them?

[stopfen]

Sometimes. I don't remember us being like they are though. They're like...ducklings. [You live longer than 95% of the population and suddenly the kids look up to you.]

[starswink]

Never thought I'd hear soldiers compared to ducklings... [he blinks.]

Actually, I'm really surprised by all of that. I mean, you're younger than me and everything! They must be the same age as you, right?

[stopfen]

Some are. But the youngest recruitment age is twelve, then there's three years of training before being put on active duty.

Provided there isn't an emergency and they survive training.

[starswink]

Man....

[That does not sound ideal, but then, life expectancy occurs to him even over things like old timey diseases and famines.]

It's always been important to look out for younger ones. Hope you guys have peace soon.

Attack on Titan spoilers

[stopfen]

[Haha...yeah...about that....She just looks away.]

We won't. Someone decided to run off to another country and attack a gathering of important people from around the world.

[That kinda tied their hands.]

We also accidentally kidnapped two children that snuck on board.
