Well, for better or worse, the Indigo Heron's defeat basically meant the Ustio campaign was ultimately a losing battle for the Imperials, and that decisive duel proved to be the high point of the action. The next few months was nothing but routine patrols, interdicting supply convoys, and chasing down retreating Imperials. Honestly, it was pretty much grunt work, but at least Freyberg was nice enough to still be giving you work, which could have easily been handled by his own men.

However, this was a momentous occasion. Just a few days ago, the Imperials holed up in Solis finally surrendered, effectively putting an end to the Ustian campaign. With things seemingly settled here, you begin making preparations to return to Gallia. You made a promise to Sam, after all.

Also, what made this day special was that it was the Feast of All Spirits, a Gallian national holiday. Considering the Demons were nominally a Gallian mercenary unit, you consider whether you should get your non-Gallian Demons into the holiday spirit as well.

As a mercenary, I have one very important question. How much money did we get?

>>25592585
Just throw invite their way. If they come, they come. If not, no big deal.

Well, you figure you can't FORCE your squad to celebrate the Feast of all Spirits, but you figure that you might as well let them know about it. Honestly, after months of monotonous cleanup ops, you figure your squad could really use an excuse to celebrate.

So, after a quick announcement over the base intercom, you assemble all of the Demons, including the Vergeltung crew in front of the barracks.

"Ladies and gentlemen. I realize that not all of you are Gallian, and you may not realize or may not care, but because this originally started off as a Gallian venture, I feel that I should inform you that today is the Feast of All Spirits, a Gallian national holiday that we will be observing."

"Um, sir." Ramirez raises his hand. "What exactly IS the Feast of all Spirits?"

"Well, Ramirez," You grin, "The long and short of it is that FoAS is time to strengthen your bonds with those you're close to, whether they be friends, or something a bit 'more'. It's also an opportunity to make amends with your enemies. Anyways, it's about celebrating friendship, so have at it. I've talked to Freyberg and he's given all of us a week's furlough. Go do what you want, but be sure to report back here in one week exactly, or we're leaving you behind! Got that?"

"Yes sir!"

Well, that means you probably don't have a lot of time before everybody scatters to the four winds. What are you gonna do?

>>25592927
You know, I never tried to buy the loyalty of my troops with gifts back in the day. To be fair, most of my men in MSF and Diamond Dogs were hardened mercenaries that followed me out of admiration (and kidnapping by way of Fulton balloons).

Let's see what happens.In this case, it might be the right call.

>Let's try and get gifts for the squad before they all split up!

>>25593012
The mortar guys.
Someone dubbed them that in the thread where we first got them.
Dmitri Fyodorovich Karamazov, Ivan Fyodorovich Karamazov, and Alexei Fyodorovich Karamazov.

>>25593059
So they're brothers?

>>25593072
Yes.
In fact, you could even call them the Brothers Karamazov, if you felt like being concise.

>>25593059
>>25593072
Dmitri Petrovich
Mortar Crew Leader
Prideful - has had a very long service record as an artilleryman, has worked with the smallest knee mortar through to the largest howitzers employed by Imperials. Became a mercenary after the rout of Maximillian's army, his crew were all under Radi Jaeger's command during the invasion. Likes joining in with Ivan in singing when the oppurtunity arises.

Ivan Volkhov
Mortar Crew member
Cheerful - Served alongside Dmitri for the course of his military career, typically whistles old tunes whilst operating the mortar, in fact generally sings old marching songs or tuns at any turn. Rumoured to be a raging alcoholic, but given his peasant origins that sort of is a given, Dmitri is often heard screaming at Ivan for being drunk on duty. Attempts to remain sobre during fire missions. Has once tried dropping a bottle of vodka down the tube.

Alexei Miroslav
Mortar Crew member
Oppurtunistic - Worked as a supply officer before his company was thrust into battle, joined Dmitri's mortar crew reluctantly, but has found himself quite at home amongst the two men he's come to consider his brothers. Thanks to his experience supplying units on the front he's great at mooching munitions from anybody he can, more than once he's handed Dmitri a mortar round with hostile markings.

>>25592927
You decide to hurry and grab presents for your squad before they split up to go their own separate ways.

However... that's a lot of people, and gifts, to keep track of, and you're not sure whether you can handle it yourself. Then again, the more people you involved, greater chance the surprise will be ruined!

Lets get ourselves a Bicycle to give out as a gift
OH!
I know, let's talk with Penbury, maybe he swiped some Imp motorcycles in his sneaky git days recently and we could buy it. (or be gifted it ourselves, since we saved his countrymen) I think a nice motorcycle could make a nice gift for Isolde, a Knight and her steed.

We got Tarin that silence rifle, but, that was as a gift for her efforts. Maybe some nice new daggers? Maybe Elizabeth has a sykes stiletto we could get off of her? For our tanker, maybe a good kind of fan we could mount in the drivers seat.

>>25593132

You figure this task is a bit too daunting for you. You're going to need help. You're going to need somebody smart, competent, and able to keep a secret. You need somebody like-

"Sam!" You yell as you burst unannounced into her office yet again.

"What do you want this time, Cap?" Sam sighs, looking up from her desk. Behind her you can see Voytek glowering at you, as if he had forgotten he was just a stuffed animal and not a real bear.

"Sam, this is important. I need to get gifts for the squad, and I need your help."

"Oh, to figure out what sort of gift would be best for everyone?"

"I need somebody to help me carry all the stuff."

"Fiiiiine." Sam sighs, getting up from her seat.

Fortunately for you, Valais is a port town and very metropolitan. You can pretty much find anything you need if you look hard enough, and Sam was diligent enough to know all of the major shopping locations.

What you know:

Sam: Adjutant and close friend. Very kidlike.
Tarin: Quiet and aloof. Trained killer.
Brillant: Nice guy with bad sense of direction.
Heloise: Nice girl with a big sweet tooth and looking for a companionship.
Ramirez: Unstoppable force of nature.
Julia: Penny pincher who is much older than she looks.
Aleksandr: Shy but talented sniper who just picked up a girlfriend.
Elsa: Aggressive and competent tracker who has a thing for Alek.
Headcase: A bit of a loon, but highly talented at what he does.
Isolde: A stereotypical knight.
Mortar Squad: Crazy drunk guys.
Qyburn: Brilliant inventor and just a bit mad.
Davos: Your salty old u-boat captain.

Codom box. It is the only answer.

>>25593703
>I want to say alaskan husky but not sure
It's either a Siberian Husky or an Alaskan Malamute. They look rather similar when they're that young so it's hard to tell. Malamutes are a bit larger when full grown, though.
Personally though, I say a not!Caucasian Shepherd would be cool though. They're extremely loyal, and quite bright. Plus they're cute as puppies, and badass as adults.

Get Ramirez a throwing knife
Motherfucker could probably take on the entire imperial army with just that

>>25593729
I was thinking corgi. Like from Cowboy Bebop. That dog was apparently pretty damn smart. Let's hope Qyburn makes a super intelligent attack dog out of it.

>>25593469
Sam: People seem to want to get her a puppy, works for me.
Tarin: get her a new knife, a kukri sounds good. Make sure it's a damn good knife, not a cheapo one.
Brillant: A compass and a snazzy hat, I just think he'd look good in a hat. Or both.
Heloise: A multitool, a pile of duct tape, and some caramel.
Ramirez: The local equivalent of Sun Tzu's Art of War and a trench knife with his name his name on it.
Julia: A comfy sweater and a model tank.
Aleksandr: Two tickets to a show so he can take Elsa out on the town. A winter hat to remind him of home.
Elsa: Some nice wine to share with Alek.
Headcase: A music player and some records
Isolde: A nice leather jacket with some heraldry on the back.
Mortar Squad: Vodka, some more vodka, and Not-Russian literature.
Qyburn: A very nice notebook, nice pens, some fine cigars.
Davos: Ship, maybe a U-Boat, in a bottle, some fine cigars.

For everyone get them really nice, soft, comfortable socks that they can march in without any discomfort. Socks are important.

>>25593756

It's actually a Husky/Pomeranian crossbreed.

Puppies are typically not something you want to keep around a merc company. Constant movement and the like have to constantly watch after them.

>>25593860
What about attack dogs?

>>25593860
We have a U-boat that can be the good home for the pup.
Until we rebuild Stormfuhrer Manor into our kickass Merc FoB

>>25593860
Considering we have a ship full of men to keep an eye on him when we're out and about. I'm sure it will be fine and when s/he gets old enough train it into a attack dog.

>>25593898
>train it into a attack dog
that can come with.

>>25593814
>>25593576

I think these two are on to something, but getting the snipers date tickets and such for town, I am against it.

>>25593837
That's probably true.

How about a nice picnic basket for Alek so he can take Elsa out on romantics picnics, and setting up a private showing of something. Maybe some nice gloves as he spends a lot of time outside waiting in the cold, fingers must get cold. Also, cologne for date nights.

>>25593860
Squad 7 had that winged pig thing. Don't think it'll be too big of a problem.

>>25593887
A dog isn't meant to live on a sub.

>>25593469
OH RIGHT, I nearly forgot about Elizabeth, too!

You need to get something for your resident superspy!

>>25593923
Agreed on that... at least wait until we're out of this place before doing such a thing.

>>25593804
Ein was kinda genetically engineered though.
>>25593860
We have a whole submarine. Also, it seems like we'll be building Mother Base soon.

>>25593932
>>25593932
>You need to get something for your resident superspy!
A camera.

>>25593932
Elizabeth! Right, I zoned that out.

A warm scarf, some classic literature, and a camera.

>>25593814
Pretty much this.

What do you guys think of getting everyone like a necklace or something with the Demon's logo on it?

>>25593961
I like it.

>>25593932
>How to Guide on intercepting enemy communications

Joking.

>>25593932
get her a reminder of her homeland. Or a snowglobe, I dunno.

>>25593932
Hmm, what would Elizabeth like? She's got a great hat already so that's out unless we can find her a better one. Maybe a scarf or something?

>>25593931
They used to.

>>25593966
That works for me.

I also suggested getting everyone socks, because having good socks feels so nice.

>>25593961
>>25593964

This.

>>25593932
Ah! Superspy needs something!
Quick, what can we get her that accidentally reminds her of her first kill and makes her break down crying?

>>25593964
Second

>>25593988
That's fucked up yo.

>>25593988
A romance novel where the main character's name is Johan

>>25593966
We still don't have a logo do we?

>>25593923
Get Alek a book on self confidence.

>>25593988
A teddy bear named Oswald.

Though seriously we should just get her camera.

>>25593932
Oh, wait, how about some puzzle? Like, math related or something of the sort.

>>25593988
A garrote.

>>25593971
One of these days we need to send her out on infiltration instead of always just leaving her on radio duty. It could even net us some new stuff for Qyburn to tinker with.

>Sam: Get her a dog. Like a puppy.

>Brillant: Best available compass.

No.

You're forgetting Elizabeth.

Not sure here at all.

>Headcase: A bit of a loon, but highly talented at what he does.
Buy him a record player or new records.

>Isolde: A stereotypical knight.

First urge is a good quality sword if we can find one and it doesn't screw with her honor codes. Otherwise bike.

>Mortar Squad: Crazy drunk guys.
....This is a question? Vodka up this bitch.

>Qyburn: Brilliant inventor and just a bit mad.
If he drinks get some wine.

>Davos: Your salty old u-boat captain.
Nice good cigars.

>Elizabeth
A wedding ring. Nah get her a nice warm scarf, Maybe a spy adventure novel just for laughs?

>>25593887
True. Still not a good place to keep something like that given a subs size even our very large sub. You try spending a few months with a dog crapping all over the place under water and see how you feel after a while. A attack dog however..But then we risk it dying and Sam crying over the poodle.

>>25594044
Derp and of course Elizabeth's camera and scarf

>>25594040
Yeah we really need to.

>>25594044

Actually, just get Alek some Not!Russian literature as well.

>>25594044
Kukris are best for hacking things to bits because they're basically an axeknife. Effective, but not exactly subtle like Tarin is. Something more along the lines of a mercy knife or stiletto would be best.

>>25594076
Perhaps a good hunting knife? wasn't he a hunter at some point?

>>25594060
>First urge is a good quality sword if we can find one and it doesn't screw with her honor codes. Otherwise bike.

Dude, she already has a sword.

A motorbike and a matching leather jacket would be far cooler.

>>25594097

Sure, go with that then.

Maybe a kukri.

>>25594100

True just my first urge to give a lady that likes a fine sword. If we could find one better then what she has. Unlikely though so we most likely are going full Motorcycle on this joint.

>>25594017
Thought we did but it could easily be retcon'd later.

Tarin what about getting her like a ww2 shovel, those things are mean. CQC trench digging, multipurpose

>>25594060

Since we're flat-out suggesting motorcyles at this point we might as well give Elsa a matching ATR.

>>25594100
Do motorbikes even exist in this era?

>>25594058
Get him the pair of Monoculars.
He doesnt much need 'dating' advise, since just being himself seems to work for Else. if he starts doing the pickup artist, she might get pissed, Swipe his gun, and take off.

Im still pushing the Isolde Motorcycle, since we've more than enough storage for it, and a motorcycle can be very handy. If we get one with a sidecar (or Qyburn eventually crafted a utility one), she can store her lance in it

Does Isolde have a cloak? If not or even so, we could get her a really nice cloak, with a hood for when it rains.

>Sam: Get her a dog. Like a puppy.
>Tarin: New, slightly exotic knife, Kukri based maybe.(can still slit throats)
>Brillant: Best available compass + geography book
>Heloise: Just lots of candy + a book of sweets from around the world?

Seems to be the suggestions so far, a bit unbalanced considering some want to give Isolde a motorbike.

>>25594167
Yes, the attacking scouts from the previous mission were on some with armored cars as well.

>>25594167

First motorcycle was invented in 1885 so I would hope so.

>>25594167
Yes. We even faced off vs last thread I believe as part of the imp recon team.

Also good luck Merc in picking through this mess.

>>25594167
Yes.
We can get her an Indian Scout 500.
Or equivalent thereof.

>>25594188
>Seems to be the suggestions so far, a bit unbalanced considering some want to give Isolde a motorbike.

Well, considering she beat off an entire invasion on her lonesome...

>>25594209
Or we can find one that's broken up and have her work on it as a pet project/hobby or something.

>>25594230
>>25594188
Wrong quote.

>>25594188
I agree with you on the motorcycle thing, maybe coordinate with some of the rest of the Demons and get it for her as a group gift, partially to celebrate her knight punching prowess. If it's from the entire team it doesn't feel that out of line.

>>25594188
>>Elsa: Some nice wine to share with Alek.

Get her an ATR since we're getting Isolde a motorbike.

Too bad there aren't any cars in the area or we would have something worthy to call a dedicated troop transport instead of riding on top of a tank.

what about adding binocs to elsa's package and downgrade the bike for isolde to a busted one as a pet project to get working? Yes she did punch out a knight and so did we.

>>25594319
Well stabbed him, correcting myself

>>25593469
So, after several hours of harrowing shopping, you finally round up a number of items you think will make your squad happy.

You find a large, exotic knife said to come from a nation beyond the Empire's eastern borders. It looks like some terrifying cross between a knife and sword, which you think would be a perfect gift for Tarin.

As for Brillant, you get him a fancy compass, just to poke fun at his poor sense of direction. Who knows, it might come in handy!

For Heloise, you buy a pack of Ustian candies, which are basically chocolates filled with a hazelnut paste. You're pretty sure she'd like it, and absolutely certain she'd find a way to reverse engineer it.

Ramirez's gift is a bit of a tough one. What do you get a guy who's already pretty good at everything? You settle for an old EWI weapon that is some unholy union of a brass knuckle and trench. You're sure he'd get some laughs (and use) out of it.

You don't even bother getting a gift for Julia. You might as well gift her ducats, since you have the feeling she's just going to pawn whatever you give her.

Alek is a bit tricky, but you opt to get him a good hunting knife due to his background. Also, as a joke, you get the biggest box of condoms you can find.

You get Elsa some wine, which would be useful in getting Alek to loosen up when she needs him to...

Since Headcase had a thing for music, you get a new record player and a whole stack of records.

For Isolde, you figure she must miss being able to ride around the countryside in style. Well, a tank is a bit out of your price range, but you see a surplus military bike that could act as a good stand in.

For Elizabeth, you get the trashiest, pulpiest spy thriller you can find, and wrap it up in a very fuzzy scarf.

You get Qyburn a very fancy notebook, with a very sturdy locking mechanism so people wouldn't be able to snoop in it.

(cont)

>>25594307
Honestly, I have been pushing to get some bloody half-tracks for us and the mortar teams yet nothing... from you people.

>>25594273
Weren't we keeping Elsa on a no-weapons deal?

>>25594356
Now that you mention it, where the hell do we buy these military grade vehicles? I mean you can't just find a half track anywhere! It could be possible we hijack one.

>>25594360
Only in Ustio.

>>25594360

Well she's pretty much confirmed for loyal now, so eh.

>>25594344
Davos gets a special whiskey bottle with a model ship erected inside it. You're told that the ship inside is made out of wood that contributes to the flavor.

And for your drunken mortar team... yeah you just get them more vodka. They seem easy to please like that.

However, your final present proves troublesome. You've already decided to get Sam a puppy, but you're not sure how to handle it, consider she's right here with you.

>Screw it, just give it to her now.
>Tell her you'll get her a present, but you won't show it to her just yet.
>Keep it a surprise. Time for some misdirection!
>Other

>>25594384
Gallia most likely as they sold us our first tank.

>>25594391
And last I checked, we're still in Ustio.

>>25594401
>>Keep it a surprise. Time for some misdirection!

>>25594360
>>25594273
Sam will not let her have a weapon just yet. Plus, you're not using this as an excuse to get a free ATR.

>>25594401
>Keep it a surprise. Time for some misdirection!

>>25594401
>>Keep it a surprise. Time for some misdirection!
oh, yeah, surprise her.

>>25594401
>>Keep it a surprise. Time for some misdirection!

Hey Sam, look a squirrel!

>>25594401
>Keep it a surprise. Time for some misdirection!

Have her deliver some of the gifts.

>>25594356

That's because we don't know where to buy one, the minute I see a delicious quad .50 half-track...

>>25594409
First thing we do in Gallia, we buy a Half-track or Jeep from our employer.

>>25594401
>Hey sam, you can ride some cant you? Take a few things and the motorcycle and ride back to the U-boat. If you can, walk it back and dont ride it onto the boat, we need to keep it a suprise you know? I've got a few more things to pick up myself.

>>25594401
>Keep it a surprise. Time for some misdirection!

>>25594422
Thats half the reason I didn't add it, thought we had to pay for it.

>>25594422
That's fine. Maybe we can really start up modern day sniper teams then. If she doesn't know already, have her learn how to call in arty and handle radio communication.

>>25594401
Okay, we need two layers of deception on this one.

First, we tell her that we need to get a few more gifts but we can handle it from here.

She'll probably spy on us so we don't actually get the puppy yet, sneak around, pop into a jewelry store and ask for a bag with nothing in it and for them to pretend to put a necklace in it or something.

Then we act like we didn't see her and pretend to head back, after that she should head back shortly, then we actually sneak off, lose ourself in a crowd, and get the puppy.

>Keep it a suprise. Time for some misdirection!

"Well Sam, I think that's just abou- OH MY GOD, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?"

>>25594344
Aw, no camera for our superspy?

>>25594401
You decide that it's a time for a bit of misdirection in order to keep Sam from figuring out what you're getting her. Sure, she'll most likely suspect something is up, but she'll never expect what you've got in mind for her, if you play your cards right.

"Damn, we're actually starting to get pretty loaded down here." You pant, setting down the bags. You don't really have to act much, you're actually pretty damn tired. "Hey Sam, how about you take what we god back to base, and I'll handle the rest of the shopping?"

"You sure, Cap? We don't have much left to get." Sam points out.

"Hey, I don't want to risk getting jumped by Sergeant McDouchebag while lugging all this stuff around. Just do this as a favor for me, please?"

"All right, fine." Sam sighs, taking your bags and slinging them into your borrowed jeep. "You need me to come back and pick you up?"

"Nah, I can find my own way back to base."

With that, Sam gives you a salute and speeds off. You wait for several minutes to make sure she's really gone, and didn't just double back to tail you. Confident she's gone for good, you get to work, heading for the nearest pet store.

But oh god, there's so many choices...

>What kind of dog breed should you get? Remember it should be something Sam would like!

>>25594675
I go with the siberian husky

>>25594675
Corgi.

But a Malamute is fine, too. Make sure it's a puppy.

>>25594675

>>25594675

>>25594695
Siberian Huskies are a bitch on fire to train and handle.

>>25594675
Well Sam likes bears so we want one that will grow to be BIG.

I'd go for a St. Bernard, it's big, it fits Gallia well, it's protective, practical, and adorable.

>>25594759
Oh sure, I just wanted people to remember its for Sam. Not themselves

Ustia is a mountainous region isn't it? They should have some huge dogs.

>>25594675
Large breed dog that Sam has mentioned liking.

>>25594807

Man, I want the Husky but the St. Bernad sounds great as well.

>>25594828
A big strong mountain dog sounds like a good bear dog choice.

>>25594675
biggest breed available

When we give it to her we should say something like, "I couldn't get you a bear but, heres a BEARHUG and a puppy!"

>>25594675
anything huge!

>>25594675
Something huge and bearlike.
St Bernard/Tibetan Mastiff/Caucasian Shepard.

>>25594695

Eeeeeeh, still going with the Husky.

>>25594675
Actually, changing vote to fuckhuge Mastiff/Saint Bernard

>>25594446
You mean The Shortcut?
That involved some very lucky dice and nearly got us killed.
>>25594675
Caucasian Shepherd time. It is adorable, and when it's grown up she can ride it into battle like a fugging horse.

>>25594675

Dunno about everyone else, but I like the Husky.

>>25594675
Clearly late for the vote, but I would still vote for a german shepard such damn good dogs.

But I'm okay with any of Husky types also...

>>25594675
Some kind of big, strong, protective dog.

St. Bernard, Leonberger, Caucasian Shepherd Dog, some variety of Mastiff, either English or Tibetan.

I'd go for the St. Bernard or the Caucasian.

Huskies are a bit small, and as much as I love them they're difficult dogs to deal with and they're meant to haul things, not act as guards. Also, it would not cope with staying within the sub, it would go fucking nuts. Other dogs could our lifestyle a lot better.
