Is the fridge still available? The boys don't know about that right? We hid there during our fake eugoogooly but they didn't necessarily know about it. Should be between us, Chuck and Rommel.

>>17905806
FUCK. Well, time for a well deserved beating.

>>17905776
Fights over? Whats the status on the other witches? It would be a shame if our stunt only left more witches to be captured or killed.

>>17905776
Find a Witch. Preferably one that isn't Minna.

>>17905806

Adrenaline?

rolled 16 = 16

>>17905806
IF I remember correctly we had to be pretty much carried to the plane. How can we run away now?

>>17905776

Also, try to avoid any witches in our hasty retreat. I'm pretty sure they still think we're dead or something. Besides Minna and Trude I mean.

I love you.

That said, laugh. Laugh at the top of our formerly perforated lungs while screaming "GHOOOOSTRIIIIDEEERRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

>>17905776

Wait, how are we doing all this running, weren't we in a wheelchair a few hours ago? Or is the adrenaline rush/I'm a Pilot overwriting the crippled status?

>>17905826

>picking a kraut and some cunt named chuck over our own aircrew.

no

>run like fucking hell from an extremely annoyed and somewhat green looking Sean.
This explores the radical notion, that we can stand properly, much less run.

>>17905776
which witch was stranded in the water

Just to check, that last thread was the first since Tuesday, right? Cause I thought PF said this one was going to be Sunday.

>>17905841

Exactly, we don't.

We collapse in a heap and we get hauled back to sickbay.

>>17905841

Adrenaline.

And our supercharged and triple-shielded pilot's ego.

>>17905776
Once we're clear, we should figure out what's up: status on everyone, and figure out who went in the drink.

>>17905852
Did you just insult Rommel and Chuck Motherfucking Yeager?

We are apparently applying our gnome powers to our biology

How many Blood Ravens can we fit in a B-52

>>17905776

Your exhilaration is superior to his sickly rage, and you manage to outdistance him handily. You get to the hangar, where 'techs are ripping Strikers apart at a feverish pace, replacing all sorts of shit you don't recognize and don't care about. Casting about madly, you espy one of the big, heavy, Striker boarding-thingies, where the Witches climb up a ladder to sling themselves into the leg-devices.

These are highly technical terms; only a man like you would know them.

Dashing over, you duck behind it, hoping it'll hide you from Sean's wrath and, just perhaps, Minna's. There are no chocolates or anything else in her damn desk - how would you know anything about that, you've never been in there, after all - but the others don't know that. Somebody WILL go looking and they'll turn up something - a Questionable Magazine, or some such - and oh won't THAT be a fun day?

"Hey."

You look up to see the blonde-haired Erica peering down at you.

>>17905877
yeah, he just insulted Brommel

>>17905878
Yes, by not already being dead.

>>17905881
...and we have been spotted by troll.
BRIBE WITH BOOZE.

>>17905881
hidemehidemehideme

Avoid no-one. Make no apologies.

If we see Minna, ask if she actually does have chocolate, and if she's willing to give us some for saving one of her witches.

Well, we need to find out how the rest of the squadron fared. Make sure our Widow is being looked over by the mechanics.

Then I believe we and Trude have some unfinished business to attend to.

>>17905881

O.O; ...Hi.

WE AREN'T HERE.

>>17905881
GET OUT OF HERE STALKER

>>17905881

Does Erica know our funeral was a fake?

Thumbs up + big grin, then finger-over-mouth-be-quiet-I'm-hiding.

"Hi. You're going to rat me out now, huh?"

>>17905881
Oh. Fuck. Do we have any candy to bride her with? Otherwise we're boned.

>>17905919
She does now.

Figure Erica's the most likely to have looted the shit out of it. And (along with Trude) to have known Minna since before the aliums ruined our perfectly good humans-only war.

>>17905881

Is that linked side story PF's or someone else's?

>>17905881

"Did you just... run away from your plane?"

"... yeah?"

"Aren't you, like, hurt?"

The instant she says it, your pitiful, bruised, wounded stomach muscles remind you that you are, indeed, fucking hurt. Adrenaline, endorphins and morphine pick that exact moment to check out of the Hotel Ghostrider, and you bite your cheek hard to keep from wincing in front of Miss SuperAce.

"I guess. Don't matter," you say, shrugging in what you hope is a hard-boiled manner.

Erica tilts her head, looking at you curiously, then disappears. A few seconds later she comes walking around the side of the Striker stand, looking up at you wearily.

"You came in late."

"Wore out my engines. Didn't want to push them too hard."

"So... you haven't heard," Erica says, her eyes drifting to one side.

Cold grips your gut. "Heard what?"

Erica's blue eyes bore into yours, and her face becomes still and expressionless. "Trude is dead."

She's trolling. It's quite obvious, and there's no need to fall for it. Stick your tongue out.

Laugh in her big stupid face. And apologize for earlier.

>>17905974
"That's not funny, Erica"

>>17905974

Are you seriously gonna try that....On me....Who just pulled that shit?

>>17905974
What.

>>17905993
It was when we did it, and it's pretty good here, too.

>>17905993
We literally pulled the same bullshit earlier in the day. We officially can't talk.

Erica, I literally JUST pulled that earlier today.

No one likes a copycat

>>17905974
Definitely anger.

fuck you.

>>17905974

...Bullshit. This is probably just punishment for holding that fake funeral. Like hell she's dead.

>>17905981
Agreed.

She's either getting us back, or PF really did kill her off.

Either way, bullshit is the only acceptable answer.

But you should know this, Why say that?"

>>17906026
>>17905992
This is acceptable.

Of course, if she really did die, than laughing it off is the wrong response.

Simply calling bullshit is the all-purpose reply.

Denial.

She may be trolling, but this hits too close to home.

Also, this end makes way too much sense. Too much sense.

>>17905974

>>17905974

>>17906026
>>17906026
>>17906026

>>17906042
This, followed up with
>>17905954
this.

We got in late. Trude and Erica told everyone. Now they're all in on this one. Calling it now.

I suppose next we're going to go running to our plane to try and avenge her, then we mope about it, and then we accept it.

>Inb4 Entire 501st is in on it
>Inb4 middle of the night there's a tapping on our window

>using metagame knowledge to call a troll a troll

mc dont know erica at all. this is sort of a presumptuous assumption. WE know shes a godly teir bullshiter but our character dont.

>>17906072
It's the safest option. Best thing to do is head straight to sleep so they can get over with any of this sort of thing:
>>17906085

Since this is that one rpg, do we ose ex for being trolled?

>>17906099
Except Barkhorn told us that Erica knew.

>>17906099
Yes we do

>>17906099
I have never seen this show and even I know she's trollling

>>17906099
Hence "Bullshit."
Also there was that thing with the toga.

>>17905776
planefag which year are we in exactly, i guess early 45 or late 44 since we basically have a p-61c prototype?
since you said most of the German scientist/engineers survived can we get our hands on some delicious new mauser mg213 revolver cannons? there should be prototypes around in '45.

>"So we gonna have ghost sex or what?"

oh yeah?

tell her to bring the schnapps when she comes on my window tonight.

>>17906099
MC's seen enough of her shit to know she's open to this sort of thing, and besides, given how recently we did the ghost thing, it makes sense that she would anyway.

>>17906109

Besides... She really shouldn't be saying that with a straight face.

If it's false, she blew her chance at believablity.

If it's true, we should slap her.

>>17906122
>WOO WOO

>>17905974
...nice try, but it works better if somebody else hasn't already pulled that prank earlier in the day.

You stare Erica right in the eyes, just as unflinching.

"Bullshit."

Her mouth drops open.

"I *just* used that one, girl. Come on, give me SOME credit. There's no way an ace with a scorecard like Trude's would just up and die on me."

"Damn," you hear somebody say from inside a nearby trashcan.

You stroll by and kick it over, spilling out a squinched-up Trude.

"Nice try, you horrible, horrible little girl," you say without much heat. You're not really angry and oh jesus does that wound hurt like a sonofabitch. You lean over a little, clutching at your belly. "Ooof."

"Serves you right," Trude says, sticking out her tongue.

"Shoot, he's smarter then he looks," Erica complains behind you, then yawns. "Man, it's late. I'm going back to sleep."

>>17906122
>>17906122
>>17906122
We should play along just for this!

lets make sure we archived the first thread, and this one.

>>17906144

You guys know, if PF wants to kill one of the witches, we've just damned her.

>>17906144
...they put that little effort into it? Shenanigans are afoot.

>>17906144
"Mind if I join you?"

>>17906144

>>17906144
"Any word on the witch that went into the drink?"

>>17906146
>>17906144

y'see? We totally could have been waiting nekkid with some grapes when they dangled her in front of our bedroom window!

>>17906144
They gave up too easy. There must be another plan afoot.
We must sleep lightly tonight, friends.

>>17906195
Definitely. See
>>17906122

Erica.

Sweetheart.

We are an American fighter jock.

>>17906192

>>17906195
This. I trust this mans sixth sense.

>>17906195
Or, they're too tired to pull of a more complex plan.

>>17906144
I suppose we should debrief. Seems like everyone's in a good mood, so chances are nobody is dead.

If we don't find Minna odds are good she's going to find us anyway. Might as well make it on our terms.

>>17906217
Let's find out which witch was in the water, make sure no one else is hurt, and then go to bed.

DAMN. I looked up that impromptu discussion thread that'd taken place Thursday and I when I saw all the people predicting I'd kill off a Witch for shits'n'giggles or a Buckley WE SERIOUS WRITER NOW moment, my troll-glands started secreting sweet poisonous nectar. But you're adapting to my bullshit. I need to step it up a notch.

Also, I'm proud of anon for taking a third option with the dogfight/rescue thing, and especially with the fight-or-run thing. Despite me blatantly egging you on to fight the Martians (you could've taken 'em!) you decided to fight as a team and got the best possible outcome with a tack I hadn't even considered. And even worked out as a pretty realistic scenario, and that's important because MC kicks ass with gritty realistic fighting, not sparklemagic, right?

Anon, I am proud.

... and now that we're on the ground, it's waifu time again. AH! HA! HA!

>>17906217
This, also inquire about more pain killers

Ask her "So who was it that went for a swim?"

>>17906144
Ask Trude to help us back to our room.

Or hers, I suppose, but ours probably works better as far as using "he's not walking too well right now" as an excuse for why she's accompanying us to a bedroom in the middle of the night.

No skirts. Kilts only. Final destination.

>>17906244

I second this. If anything, to clear the air up about that heat flash of passion just before we flew out. Knowing nothing else will come out of that, if were up for it while others are asleep, we could initiate previously set plans we STILL have not gotten around to.

>>17906295
pants?
who the fuck wears pants.

>>17906289
No, no, move all the enlisted out, steal their skirts and replace with flight crew jumpsuits. Us males get the castle and the skirts.

Aussie has to talk the strange fucking moon tongue.

>>17906188

"So who went into the drink?"

"Sanya," Trude tells you. You extend a hand to help her up, and she accepts it. You almost drop her, clutching your middle with your free limb, but you stubbornly haul her upright. "She was patrolling alone when the whole raid came in."

"She was chased by a half-dozen escorts," Erica tells you. "She made it a good distance before they blew her Striker apart."

"How do Witches even SURVIVE that?" you marvel. "Not like you carry parachutes."

"We're trained to make a kind of shock-absorber with our shields," Trude tells you, sketching it in the air with her hands. "You summon a big, weak shield in front of you - big enough to cover, oh, three times the normal area - and that slows your fall with air resistance. Then, close to the ground, you pull it into a small one, about the size of your body, and shove it outwards towards the ground as hard as possible." She shoves her palms forward illustratively. "If you're good you can land quite gently. First time I used it, I sprained a wrist." She shrugs.

>>17906305
And by wase I mean ease.

The beer, grading, SWG, and Walking Dead marathon are taking a toll.

>>17906308
No no no no, no kilts. You just know some of those women will attempt to lift them up for a look under.

Ach, aye. 'n if 'ya be true Scots, you 'new what 'de find.

>>17906308

>>17906323
Miller time

>>17906323

God damn, did we dodge a bullet.

If we lost Sanya, Eila would have gone all axe crazy. Both on us AND the martians.

Minna would have lost it as well if we lost a witch.

>>17906323

ask trude to elaborate about what using magic is like in general. just play it off as looking for reciprocity from when we told her what flying a plane is like to us. she dosent SUSPECT and we can use whatever information we get to self evaluate and decide wether or not that watch guy was nuts.

>>17906342
Yes, there will be some of that too eventually.

>>17906368
Given Minna's idiotic no men policies, I don't think they'd have much to compare it to.

>>17906323
Maybe we should take it easy? We are still pretty fucked up.

>>17906385
>Inb4 we get softly trolled by Eila for our awesome-ghost-prank

>>17906323
Tell Trude about that bullshit with the getting moved in with the enlisted. Make for some conversation... and maybe she might offer us different accommodations.

>>17906373
Oh yeah, smart thinking.

>>17906323

"We kind of DO have parachutes," Erica says. "The backup focus, remember?"

"Oh, right," Trude says.

"Fukkus? What?"

"This thing," Erica says, leading you around the Striker stand. She pops open a panel on her Striker unit, revealing a complex-looking little object of carved crystal about as big as a donut.

"There's one in the other leg, too. They're backup shield focuses. Witches summon shields instinctively, but units like these greatly enhance our ability to focus and use them. Like the magic engines, they put out a lot more effect for a little energy invested."

"Like putting gas into an engine instead of sitting on the whole barrel and blowing it up under your ass," you say.

"Right," Erica says. "Much more effective!"

"And those little back-ups let us focus our shields for dynamic landings," Trude finishes.

I'm late, way behind, still reading >17903034 but wanna say something. I think I figured it out. MC is a fighter pilot. Post hoc ergo propter hoc, when he gets a target in his sights, it's on, got game, got skills. When someone has MC in sights, EVADE FEINT FAINT PANIC AERILON ROLL time. So, the bath, the closet, the Trude straddle inaneness is reasoned out and I can enjoy SWQ. Being 20, MC doesn't have a clue, and that makes the trolling work.

>>17906323
We must complete the plan! We shall build fort anti-Minna in her own room!

We still need to build fort GIVE NO FUCKS

>>17906397
If you really think that any of the witches who are old enough to be interested aren't hiding porn somewhere, you're deluding yourself.

Gnome Magic POWERUP?

>>17906413
"Dynamic landing" is a hell of a way to refer to a crash. Anywho, I think it may be nice to debrief with Minna before bed. She nearly lost a witch, after all. Plus, she's our CO, so a debrief is kinda customary.

We may need a little help from Trude to get there, though.

>>17906413

Smile nod, time to get some drinks with Trude.

Maybe some more morphine.

Make that Morphine with Trude.

>>17906477
I doubt males get to use the same magic doohickies as the men. Besides that effects their shields, and last I checked we don't have any. Let's just strap a witch onto our windshield instead.

sooo...
are we still moving into minna's room/building a fort in the hangars?

still want to see what we do with that newspaper.
[cover the whole dining room with it]
or, frame it, wrap it up and hand it to perrine while giving out pants saying "OPEN THIS LATER" if she opens it in front of everyone else she brought it upon herself.

>>17906487
It's the middle of the night. Just go to sleep.

>>17906323
Yeah, let's get that debrief with Minna. May as well get the chewing out over with so we can either get some sleep, or get some drinks with Trude.

>Eye striker unit like it's going to explode at any second
>poke shield crystal

>>17906481
>We may need a little help from Trude to get there, though.

Any excuse we can contrive to lean on Trude is a good excuse.

>>17906413
..."so why don't you wear those on a bracer or something instead, given that in a situation where you need a backup your Striker Unit is probably a burning pile of scrap?"

I mean, putting the backup where it would be killed by anything that takes out the primary seems like a bad idea to me.

>>17906513
Newspaper: yes.
Moving our shit/fort: no.
Crashing on other beds back on the proper side of the castle: yes.

So, are we planing on telling Minna about the transmissions Sean picked up on?

>>17906521

NEIN.

Even getting pushed about by Sakamoto while he was in the wheelchair was deflating for him.

He would at least want to get back into his wheelchair and go in on his own power.

"Looks like you're in pain," Trude says kindly.

"Nah," you say, then fall to your knees.

"Yah," you admit with a low wheeze.

"C'mon," Erica says, and the two of them try to pick you up and cart you off. With their magic expended in battle, they don't get far.

"Shit, I'm not *dead,*" you complain.

"Yes you are," they both singsong in unison. You sigh.

"Okay, Sir Galahad," Trude grumps. "Just lean on me." Lean on her you do, and she helps you stagger out of the hangar and the long, long way to the roomy, vaulted lobby of Castle Barin, where at least a few comfy couches survived the robo-spider assault.

Trude deposits you on one and promises to return with a morphine-syrette toting doctor. Through the pain, you ponder your next move. You're too beat up for energetic, post-mission life-affirming sex with Trude, but at least one productive thing before the oblivion of sleep isn't impossible.

>>17906531
I assume it's strong enough so that when the primary goes there's little chance of it being broken. At least by anything weak enough to not blow the witches legs off entirely.

>>17906556
You mean Trude?
Maybe

Check in on Sanya. Poor thing.

>>17906531
the thing needs to be connected to the engine i think.

no use having your supercharger around your neck.

off to bed, with trude.
continue where we left off

>>17906564
Check on Sanya. SHE MAY EVEN TALK.

>>17906474
I'm sorry.

>>17906564
do
THIS >>17906373

its inportant to know this shit before we get accidentally busted. its almost happened a couple times already

>>17906564
Inquire about our fellow night fighter

>>17906564

Sanya

That's twice now. She better say hi.

>>17906564
Check Sanya, life's being a bitch to poor girl recently.

>>17906564
What about gentle post-mission life-affirming sex with Trude?

>>17906564

Check in on sanya.

Have we actually passed her her pipe yet?

Building a pillow fort may be beyond us at this point, but just collapsing on her floor will be flustering enough.

>>17906564
>Ask about dem general magics.

The more we know, the more we Gnome.

Delicious. Also, NO SPILLING THE G-WORD BEANS YET. THEREFORE,

>See how Sanya's doing.

>>17906591
Go for it.

Check on Sanya in the morning. I think Eila's probably got her locked down for the next few hours.

Gee, you'd think something like that would be remembered by more people. But no, tits and ass take precedence.

We may want to small talk with Trude a while, but checking in on Sanya is in good form.

>>17906620
GI Gnome

My vote for this.

oaky, going with learning MAGICKS thoery from trude.

so we can gnome better

and if theres one thing this war needs, its a fully-fledged combat gnome.


[is our whole aircrew also gnomes?]
[is chuck also a gnome? i bet yes]

inb4 brass was actually putting together a gnome unit to complement the witches.

[rommel has gnome sensing radar, idk]

>>17906564
>Talk to Trude in GENERAL TERMS about TOTALLY THEORETICAL magic stuff.
Might as well. What it feels like for her, the interest is in the experience of it. Make it more personal than an interrogation about magic.

>>17906590
>C.96
>datass

YOU - YOU'RE NOT SORRY AT ALL!

>>17906564
Sanya first then magic talk. We need to learn stuff.

>>17906637
You have a point. Perhaps we should.

...well, maybe we should just write out a note and save the detailed discussion for tomorrow.

>>17906556

Actually... this is more important.

Lives may be at stake here.

This.

>>17906564

Let us speak to her in GENERAL TERMS, we're in such a bad shape as it is without trying to remember THEORETICAL MAGIC. We can ask her instead to kindly fill us with morphene and ask her about the newspaper.

ALSO GENERAL CONVERSATION.

>>17906637
I don't even remember that happening. We picked up strange transmissions?

>>17906637

Don't remember anything like that... Then again, I've been a bit sidetracked reading about the panzerhexen plans.

>>17906637


...OH YEAH, THAT HAPPENED!! We should do that, then.

Oh, and fuck you, our brains get stupid around hot rapacious pantsless girls.

>>17906637

I've been assuming she was the one who received the message.

>>17906564

Talking about magic while on drugs. THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA! NO ONE MUST KNOW ABOUT BEING A GNOME!

>>17906637

you're the one who announced it was time for waifuing after WE did a bunch of clever shit with the plane so i dont wanna here it mister.

>>17906637
TRANSMISSIONS IN MORNING

>>17906685

The transmission that triggered the telebot attack.

That signal is still ongoing.

If the thing with Trude gets out I demand we call her "My rude lewd Trude" in public at least once

Tell others that she aint no prude, tease her about having a ghost fetish, that kind of shit.

>>17906556
Yeah, we may as well.

>>17906620
fixd

>>17906690
>>17906685
Sean listened in on a radio transmission between Minna(?) and someone else talking about Chris being alive and captured

>Talk to Trude in GENERAL TERMS about TOTALLY THEORETICAL magic stuff.
This
>See how Sanya's doing.
While she's wheeling us down to see sanya
after that then talk to minna

>>17906556
Work comes first. Lets get this over with.

>>17906708
Yeeeesssss

>>17906716
Missing. We OOCly assume captured, because, well, pf.

>>17906702
HOW ABOUT NO

>>17906723
This plan is good. I fully support this.

>>17906656
Yes, everyone is gnomes.

>Rommel sniffing pilots
>THIS SMELL
>IT'S THE SMELL OF A GNOME

>>17906700
This. And fuck that magic shit. The old man's a kook; we're not a gnome, and don't care either way.

>>17906556

This.

>Also, somewhat related weapon system.

>>17906716
It was never established that it was Minna. In fact, that they didn't use one of the base's radios or the phone suggests that this goes on above her head.

No reason worrying her about that now, it wouldn't be kind to her at all. At the very least let her get some damn sleep first.

>>17906758
Hence the (?)

>>17906730
Yeah. Let's talk to Minna about it.
It's one thing to push off paperwork and debriefs and such till later.

But we sat on this, perhaps vitally important, info for the past couple hours.

>>17906742
Also, if we collapse on Minna's floor, bonus points.

At least Minna won't feel we're coming onto her while we have a doting Trude in tow. Assuming we don't imply threesomes.

If we're talking to Minna, might as well check in on Sanya at the same time. Knowing her disposition towards the well being of her subordinates, she'll probably be there too.

>>17906767
I don't see anything terrible happening with it until morning; everyone is too tired right now. Let's at least wait for the fucking doc with the magic syringe.

>>17906790

and why WOULDN'T we imply that?

>>17906790
>Assuming we don't imply threesomes
We are a hormone-controlled adrenaline-junkie 20-year old hotshot ace pilot.
Of course we're going to imply threesomes!

>>17906790
We should definitely imply threesomes. We can even bring Erica along.

>>17906804
No reason, it is simply an if/then scenario.

Imma be honest: I forgot there WERE transmissions.

>>17906803

Like how pearl harbour radar techs discounted that big blip as 'it's ours'?

It's important enough to send it up the chain.

>>17906803
>I don't see anything terrible happening with it until morning
Which part?
The "Chris is missing, not in her bed" transmission, or the "Martians are still transmitting their assassination activation signal" transmission?
Because the former might wait, but the latter might not.

>>17906828
My impression from what we heard was that the only immediate threat we were facing was Trude running off to go find her sister.

>>17906816
>>17906813
>>17906790
>>17906804
oh I see
the point is to never get out character laid

>>17906774
Truly the best way to end the night.

Wait what transmissions.
I only remember Sanya's pickup just prior to THE COUCH IS EXPLODING.

>>17905776
>fucking porcupine why don't you die already

Is that the Zipang reference I think it is?

>>17906846
That's the hope, fuck the waifu faggots. MC/P-61 OTP!

>>17906846
MC is a pilot, all he needs to do to get laid is walk into an off base bar with his flight jacket on, no these witches are far more valuable than that, we're talking years of trolling.

>>17906844

Ah. Miscomm then. Was referring to the Martian assassination signal still being active.

>>17906871
Oh. Uh... no clue. Don't remember that one very well. Anyone know which thread that was in?

>>17906844

By the way.

When she finds out, we didn't know.

That's a shitstorm beyond all compare.

>>17906856
Oh fuck, someone other than me watched Zipang? Shit was so cash.

For anyone who want to know: basically a modern Japanese destroyer with all the bells and whistles (i.e. cruise missiles and such) gets thrown back in time to the middle of the Battle of Midway.

Awesome historical shenanigans ensue.

Trude returns in good time with the doctor, morphine, and a wheelchair. Some minutes later, you're moderately well doped, and being wheeled down the dormitory hallway to visit Sanya (Trude showed you a freight elevator you can use on the off-chance you don't just bounce down the stairs again tomorrow.)

Trude stops by a door, and knocks on it politely.

"Isn't this Eila's room?" you ask, pointing at the little brass name-plate.

"Sanya's in here often as not," Trude tells you. "They play cards or count spots on the ceiling or whatnot."

The door opens to show Eila, somber and red-eyed. "What?"

Trude blinks. "Sanya...?"

"In her own room," Eila tells you. "Don't bother. She won't even talk to me."

Eila slams the door a bit brusquely, but you don't take offense - she's clearly shaken up a bit.

"... well," Trude says quietly after a second. "That's that, I suppose. We can check tomorrow." She wheels you around and pushes you down the hall, back the way you came.

"Where we going?"

"Long way to the engineer's dorms," she tells you, "-and you're all shot up."

"You going to bed soon?"

"Takes hours to settle down for sleep after a battle like that," she tells you.

"Mind if I talk to you about something?"

Trude's footsteps clap the floorboards a little harder then before, and her voice is a bit stiff. "What about?"

You roll your eyes. "About what color the wedding invitations should be and do you want to buy a baby-book or name our firstborn after a relative or-"

"Okay, okay," Trude gripes, relaxing a bit. "What?"

"Magic."

Minna already knows about Chris. we know she hangs out in the towers we saw here there, and Trude told us its not an uncommon place. the transmission was going going to a wireless set in the towers. Minna is keeping it a secret from the witches for whatever reason.

the martian attack signal though is kind of a big deal. it should probably mentioned.

>>17906901

No one has named our kind of magic yet, so its up to us to give it one....


....I'm gonna go with Freddy.

>>17906901

>>17906901

SUBTLE AS FUCK.

>"Thing is, they haven't subsided," Sean says, pointing up at his radio station, in the Widow. "I don't think anybody here has realized yet, but there's still a shitload of traffic. It's not quite discernible on regular sets; I had to fuck around a lot till I could pick it up."

Not only did the assassination signal not subside, there's even MORE traffic on it now. This is the kind of shit that can make or break entire campaigns, and we've been sitting on it because we wanted to troll the girls.

>>17906950

when she asked us about our airplane theatrics she was just as blunt.

>>17906856

Sorry, nope. It's just that H8K Flying Boat in the background was dubbed the "porcupine" for the thoroughness of it's defensive gun layout.

Also, it can soak up several hundred rounds of .50 cal and twelve or thirteen 20mm shells and not die, but still send you home sans half your engines.

But at least it's not a Ki-27. Oh, the motherfucking Ki-27.

>>17906936
Is it wrong that I suddenly want a witch to show up who takes on Freddy's features when she powers up?

Next time she suggests going to bed we should complain loudly in our best BUT MOM! voice "I don't WANNA sleep with the enlisted!"

Just sayian.

>>17906901

Awgh.

Planefag, please let us stop by minna's office or room to drop off the important info.

>Will post moar Reisen

>>17906901
Oh god, I watch a stream for forty minutes and you guys do THIS? We already talked to that guy about gnome stuff. He'd know better than Trude.

>>17907011

he KNEW and we had to ESCAPE

trude DOSEN'T KNOW and we can PICK HER MIND

>>17907011
We're asking her what it feels like, how they channel it an all that. The old gnome never did anything special with it, not like a witch has.

>>17907004
I vote room. And we refuse to leave after.

>>17907011

With any luck we can ask her TOTALLY RELIVANT questions, like if the magic she puts out to her strikers keeps her legs looking as smooth as they do, or if she has to moisturize. Because damn, if you idiots want magic lessons from anyone who CAN tell you ANYTHING useful, maybe you should ask THE GNOME WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT IT, rather than the Witch who is wheeling us around.

>>17907033

Or at least we tried.

He knocked us on the head for being 4x stupider and infodumped us anyways.

Next time we go for a shopping trip, we might be able to consult with him again.

>>17907033
MAJOR ISSUE; GNOME magic is different than WITCH magic so PICKING HER MIND doesn't help us.

>>17907004
We need to stop by Minna's office anyway, since there's no way in hell we're sleeping with the engineers.

How did witchrs fight before the invention of striker units? I kinda want to imagine Polish witches leading uhlans into a charge and killing tanks with lances in 1939

>>17906901

"Eh? What about it?"

"I dunno. Everything? What most pilots know about magic could fit in a teacup with room left over for our respect for ground crew."

"Hmm." She stops the wheelchair outside her own door, opens it, and pushes you in. Facing you towards the bed, she plops down on it.

"Here," she says, pouring you some schnapps. "So, what's got you so confused?"

"The technology, really," you admit. "I always thought there was... you know, MAGIC over here, and TECH over here," you say, turning and gesturing to illustrate the dramatic floor-space between the two concepts.

Trude sips. "Why's that?"

>Why indeed?

It's not like we've had much chance to tell her about it, we would have had to not being in a bouncing rage this morning.

>>17907067

and how the fuck do we know that? information is needed.

its the goddamn political landmine of the century and you want us to get caught with our pants down.

>>17907082
Clearly it was the Jews.

>>17907097
Explicitly stated by the gnome who infodumped us.

>>17907082
Gesture that the dramatic floor space confuses us. And something about the dust. And maybe the end table is affecting the technological aspects of this gestured space.

>>17907082

No real indication that they even could mix until the striker units happened, I suppose.

>>17907097
I think our first priority should be not getting caught at all. Best way to do that is avoid the subject entirely.

>>17907082
"Have you never thought that strapping planes to the legs of teenage girls was just liiiiittle bit strange?"

>>17907082

Because Wizards don't jam jets on their legs in story books and thats the only reliable information we get about magic, from story books and they aren't known for factual accuracy.

>>17907082
"Tech runs according to physics. Magic makes physics cry to itself in the corner."

>>17907082
If we are going to work together, we need a better understanding. Maybe help in tatics, or some shit. I don't know I'm artillery, not a piloit.

>>17907082
Explain that Erica's little demo of the shields confused us.

Perfectly innocent.

>>17907082
It's not.

Sufficiently analyzed magic is basically technology/physics.

>>17907113
Also, for it to be a landmine, it'd need to be armed and placed, and we're not sharing the knowledge with anyone, ever.

>>17907082
"I...huh. Come to think of it, that's the way I've always thought of it. It's MAGIC, you Witches never explain shit."

>>17907067
Personally, I want to know about witch powers. We didn't know witches -had- parachutes, now we do. What other useful trolling information if we keep asking?

>>17907082

as far as im aware you cant get a shield up no matter how much electricity and vacuum tubes ya got.but some sparkle girl can do it by thinking. why would i assume there WAS a relation?

>>17907082
Well, it's magic. It's supposed to be all mysterious and shit, right?

>>17907156

It's unconcious; it could be tested if there's even an inkling.

Something simple, like a planned "failure" which we'd correct for before it occured.

>>17907162
This is true, I'm just saying we aren't going to learn our own powers from her.

>>17907082
Because the modern concept of machines are something that we have forged with human hands. Although the mechanisms can be very complicated at times, we have total control over then and can explain how exactly they work.

Magic has this whole air of superstition around it. Those not in the know can't really control it or understand how it works; just how it works. It seems more based on emotions and feel than anything else.

Thus, I would assume that these opposite spheres of human understanding would be separated completely and incompatible.

>>17907178
Which is why we never ever share the idea with anyone.

>>17907156

shirley almost caught us. some random watch maker caught us within a few minutes of meeting us. WE JUST CAME BACK FROM THE GODDAMN DEAD. Im all for keeping quit. im not for remaining ignorant and getting busted because our guns fired for 3 minutes on 45 seconds worth of ammo or whatever.

>>17907192
>" ; just how it works"
Whoops, meant that "; it just works."

>>17907082
Tech does certain things for reasons, magic does other things for no goddamn reason. Then they do things to each other that I have no idea.

>>17907141

Yeah, that's a pretty good question. What next, are they going to strap a destroyer 5"DP turret on a little girl?

>>17907082
Ask her for a reasonable explanation of why they couldn't just take off their pants. Even something like sweatpants would be a step up here.

>>17907226

Trude could probably handle that...

>>17907226
>Implying the 5" 38 DP wasn't the greatest gun of the war.

How about asking why little girls couldn't just jump in a whole damn plane and fly it as improved as their little leg engines are.

>>17907254

>implying that I'm implying the 5" gun wasn't fucking awesome

Only a complete lunatic/genius decides that the main guns of a warship should be able to shoot at god damn planes. Even with 1000 rounds required to make a single aircraft kill, that's fucking awesome.

>>17907206

ps this shit is plot hooking so hard planefag outright stated we should ask a witch about magic a dozen threads back. you think he WONT let us get busted while we ourselves still know nothing? OUR TEARS SUSTAIN HIM YOU FOOL

my thoughts.

gnomes are more mechanicaly inclined.
witches, have more magicks.

gnomes are orks
witches are chaos.

>>17907327
...How much does Sakamoto have to drink to get like that? Because we definitely need to get her that drunk.

>>17907327

Suffer not the witch to live?

>>17907327
>We're orkz.

GUYS. I HAVE AN IDEA. WE'RE GONNA NEED A B-52 AND A WHOOOOLE LOT OF DUCT-TAPE.

>>17907346

In the Anime it was caused by her getting stuck inside what looked like a 100-liter jug of wine.

>>17907082

"I...huh. Come to think of it, that's the way I've always thought of it. It's MAGIC, you Witches never explain shit."

Trude smiles. "Well, most people don't really care. Unless they're Witches themselves, then they're trained."

"Where?"

Trude shrugs, and waves vaguely. "Here, for starters. An academy like this one. Almost all of them are old, or even ancient."

You think about that. "So the only people who really understand magic - understand it well enough to teach it properly, I mean - are shut up in these cloistered little monastery-like things."

Trude blinks so innocently you don't doubt her. "I... I suppose so. I never really thought about it before."

You scratch your head, thinking furiously. You're sure plenty of people HAVE thought of it before, but they're in books you haven't read, circles you don't move in. Hell, not every library would even hold truck with books as political as that - the one in your hometown tried to quietly ditch its copies of Huckleberry Finn twice, a few years ago because it was "racist" and back in 1890 because it *wasn't.*

So unless you pop off to Oxford on a three-day leave, you're flying alone in the dark. Well, that's nothing new, is it?

"Everybody else has to rely on machines, but Witches can just do whatever, with, you know, sparkly zaps," you say, zapping at her with your finger. "Doesn't seem like magic and technology would be bedfellows."

i've caught up

If the women don't find you handsome, you're not piloting the right plane.

>>17907443

Good, I never did like being magic anyway, look how much it did for our 'mentor', running a shop selling chronometers. Do you want to sell chronometers?

>>17907377
>three pilots
>as if three pilots could stop sniffing their own farts long enough to fly that thing as a team.
Damn thing would be ripped apart by the ego.

>>17907431

That's just crazy.

This is where she accidentally reveals that the senior staff already figured out that you're "just like Dr. Miyafuji", isn't it?

>>17907375
>>17907192

"Why not?" Trude says, truly puzzled.

"Because the modern concept of machines are something that we have forged with human hands!" you exclaim. "I mean, they're complicated as hell sometimes but they obey known physical forces that we've mastered, and they work just as well for anybody, all the time. I could take any - well, almost any- stick-in-the-mud moron and teach him how to change spark plugs in a Chevy, you know? But magic..." you throw your hands in the air helplessly. "Magic's all superstitious and, you know, weird."

"Weird!?" Trude says, aghast.

"You know! Like flying lawnmowers and talking sofas and WEIRD shit! If you don't have it, you can't really understand it. And with the special abilities that seem unique to bloodlines and the familiar spirits, and..." you shake your head. "Nothing like, you know. logical machine-y stuff."

"Oh," Trude says, swishing her liquor around. "Well I can set you right there, at least - everybody *has* it."

wat

>>17907402
>>17907408
i'd apologize, but i'd be lying

Hey planefag, Awesome quest, i normally dont get to read them while its on due to the time difference etc, normally just go through the archives as they come out.

Just want to say great writing, and this quest has made me laugh my ass off multiple times. And brilliant knowledge of flying you have there. *goes back to lurking*

>>17907478
SHE KNOWS TOO

>>17907474

And it's exactly what we want.

>>17907478
WAT indeed...

>>17907478
Say NOTHING, stare at her silently, and raise our eyebrow at her.

>>17907478

Wait. WHAT.

>>17907478
Slap her. It's close enough to calling us a gnome.

"Stop talking crazy talking stop."

>>17907478
Everyone has WHAT, exactly?

Also, I really don't think we should be worrying about being found out. If we straight up told her "I'm a gnome because some crazy german guy in a clock shop told me so," she'd just laugh in our face and think it was a joke.

>>17907478
Proceed

>>17906968

Yeah, it's pretty much the only Jap plane that wouldn't go up in a ball of fire with the first burst.

Bettys, Zeroes, Oscars, Vals, Kates, Judys, Jills, Tonys, Mavis', Nells....

Only the Emilys, Georges, and Jacks were hardy enough to not turn into a ball of fire when hit with a short burst from US .50 cals

But that's what happens when your aircraft don't have self-sealing fuel tanks or pilot armor.

>>17907478
>everybody *has* it.

Everyone in the world is gonna have some sort of magic power. Even if it's barely anything at all. And she's gonna do some demonstration to prove that that would be the equivalent of hooking up a near-dead battery to a lightbulb. But with US it's going to glow absurdly bright and we're gonna get busted.

Or maybe I'm tired and thinking too much...

No John you are the witches.

Goddamn, they've been doing this for thousands of years, you really think they don't KNOW how it works? That some guy in a watch shop knows better than scholars in this lore with millenia of lore and study behing them? Magic as it is termed is an enetity that can be studied and analized, granting repeatable results, its a scientific field of study just like everything else.

Are you all really that naive?

>>17907553
If it was that easy the whole gnome thing would have never been a secret

>>17907557
No. But MC is.

>>17907557

moreover
>gender politics

yes, I firmly belive that its possible that they dont know all the particulars.

"Everybody has magic," Trude tells you. "It's just that men, and most women, don't have enough to actually manifest it externally. Magic is..." she examines the ceiling, musing. "Life energy isn't exactly the right term, because it doesn't drain you or anything, but that's the closest I can come up with. It's just another kind of energy, something innate to the self, to any living being. That's why the talents are unique and found in bloodlines -it's no different then a family with kids good at math, or whatever." She shrugs. "Witches just happen to be really good with magic."

She leans forward, looking concerned. "Are you okay?"

"Totally," you say, and toss back your schnapps before your shock can permanently lock your jaw in a stupid drooling position. "So, uh, right, energy, you were saying?"

"Yeah," Trude says. "Just like gasoline or whatever. You can measure it, manipulate it, use it to power things - it's nothing mysterious." She laughs. "Is that how you men see us witches? All mysterious?"

"That's how we men see all women, period," you reply. "Can't make heads or tails of 'em."

"'Specially when we have actual tails."

"Quite," you say, buying time for your mind to spin.

>>17907478
Guessing that most people just don't have enough of it to matter.

>>17907557
>uneducated pilot

>>17907580

We're accumulating "Oops" points at ridiculous rates.

We're coming up on our next big mistake, that's for certain.

>>17907580
>inb4 we're Luke
Do or do not, there is no try.

My SIG trainer just got smalltime.

>>17907478
everyone has it, but not everyone can tap into it?

like how everyone has hands, but not everyone can paint for shit?

>>17907580
So why wouldn't some men be good at it?

>You can measure it
And ask about this, if can measure personal ability or potential.

>>17907611
We're also coming up to 01:00.
In b4 NEXT TIME.

How did we Oops this? Didn't we guess this outright back at the watchmaker's place?

>>17907611
We need to have at least one fuck-up per session. Or else planefag will starve and die.

>>17907580
>"'Specially when we have actual tails."
Well played Trude... Well played

>>17907580
...well, since our brain is full of fuck, we might as well fill our body with fuck too.

Pick up where we left off before the raid, have gentle post-mission life-affirming sex (since we're too banged up for the energetic variety)?

>>17907580
Ask her, IN THE MOST NONCHALANT WAY POSSIBLE, if there is any way to test how magical a person is and if maybe we can try it as we have JUST A PASSING CURIOSITY to see if MAYBE we are?

>>17907648

>hornets nest
>WACK IT, WACK AT IT WITH OUR HANDS. THIS WILL WORK GUYS I SWEAR.

>>17907648
Fuck no.

>>17907648
We should ask an engineer about any magitech.

>>17907644

With that hole in our body?

We'll be leaking guts halfway through.

Besides. We have campaign critical information that needs to be passed upwards.

>>17907670
>>17907648

>Maybe if I gently tap the hornets nest, they totally won't get mad.

Oh wait, FUCK! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

>>17907670
Meh, we can blame these crazy questions on the morphine/booze we're on.

>>17907644
Stop Waifufaging

>>17907648
awww hellz naw! she's just trying to get us to confess! PARANOIA isn't if they are out to get you!

>>17907694
lets just cuddle with her then

>>17907648
BAD IDEA

>>17907648
Fuck no.

>>17907644
Better to wait until we can go all out.

>>17907580
Point out that most people can't measure or manipulate things like mathematical ability, which is what makes magic weird. She seemed to be almost offended when we said that, so we should probably pursue it.

>>17907708
Definitely fucking no.

inb4 charlotte turns up "hey, trude says you were asking about magic..."

>>17907708
No.

>>17907708
NO

>>17907701
We were totally going to bang her before the raid, and we're not a man to leave a job half-finished.

But yeah, >>17907694 has the right of it, at least where campaign critical information is concerned.

>>17907648
I don't understand the opposition to this.

We have nothing to worry about by asking this question since, as >>17907699 stated, we are so drugged up we can blame it on that if it backfires.

>>17907717
>inb4 threesome

>>17907714
Uh, you can measure mathematical ability though, its called a Test, I mean you take them in study after all. Aptitude tests, especially from a military point of view are nothing new, and pretty common since they have had them since at the very least World War 1!

>>17907727
We also have to not remember doign it, through a haze of pain and drugs.

>>17907708

How about No.

>>17907701
Ok, I'm against waifufagging, but that sounds like a one of the choices our pilot would make.

Though I really don't think planefag would give in to that anyways, what with the whole "significant effort required" thing from earlier. It might be something WE'd do, but that doesn't mean Trude would.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. 'Course we could gain a world of hurt.

>catalog dents
That really doesn't sound promising for our chances, captcha.

>>17907733
Blame it on alcohol and drugs, which lower inhibitions. Implying the only reason we didn't ask about it before is that we didn't want to for some reason. Hmmm, I wonder why that could be, Shirley asks...

>>17907727
We weren't going to bang her. We just kissed. And it was non-consensual on our part.
