You sit down at the table and shrug at Mary as she brings over a plate full of eggs and hash browns, Sarah carrying over some of the crunchy strip things you’ve had before. You’re pretty sure they’re called bacon.

“It was weird,” you say to her, “It was really soft.”

“Beds are supposed to be like that Will,” says Mary, “They’re good for you.”

You nod your head at her as you start to pile your plate with food. Mary puts more on if you don’t take what she thinks is “enough”.

“What’s this about beds?” Sarah asks as she also starts to take some food. You notice that there’s more on the table than usual, probably so there’s enough for everyone.

“Will has some issues with beds,” says Mary quickly, “They didn’t have any where he was so he isn’t used to sleeping on them.”

“Oh,” says Sarah, turning to look at you before going back to her plate, “I guess that’s only natural then.”

You nod, not bothering to correct Mary about the small details as you eat more of her excellent cooking.

>>38359839
“So do you have any plans for today?” Mary asks Sarah, occasionally glancing up at the ceiling as the three of you eat.

“Uh…not really,” says Sarah, poking at the smaller amount of food that she took, “I wasn’t even sure you guys were going to keep me around, I didn’t do a whole lot on the last mission.”

“I think you’ll stay,” says Mary with a smile, “Morrigan’s been dying for another long range shooter. She’s usually doing door kicking.”

“Well, if you say so,” says Sarah, “It’s been hard to find someone who’d take me.”

“Probably male outfits?” asks Mary.

“Yeah,” says Sarah, “Didn’t matter what skills I had, just…”

“It’s actually a pretty good thing,” says Mary, “Mixed outfits get…weird.”

Sarah glances at you as you munch on some bread.

“Will’s a bit different,” says Mary as you finish up with your food, setting the plate in the sink, “So we don’t have to worry about that.”

“Ok,” says Sarah, finishing her food as well.

Mary glances upstairs, sighing. “If they aren’t up soon the food will get cold.” Turning towards you she says, “Will, could you help wake them up? I’ll be right behind you once I finish the dishes.”

You nod to her turning to head upstairs. You decide to:
>Wake Morrigan first.
>Wake Cath first.
>Wake Nem first.
>Wake Bellona first.

>>38359859

Oh god hes gonna wake her up the way he is used to being woken up isn't he?

>>38360218
thats not guide's style expect her to be in her underwear or naked perhaps and more than likely they will wake up with a bad hangover and are vary angry.

>>38360218
He doesn't like getting woken up like that I seriously doubt he'd do it to someone else even more so after Morg promised to never hit him.

>>38360313
Is more likely. This is how Will discovers boobs, hes going to confusedly look at Morg leave and go look it up in a book.

>>38360218
>>38360313

I'm half expecting it to be a dodge roll for when Morrigan chucks something at whoever is disturbing her hangover.

As you step out of the kitchen Mary calls after you.

“Take care Will, they can get a little grumpy after a trip to Doc’s.”

You wave back to her like Cath does, your boots tromping up the stairs. You don’t think it could be that bad, you haven’t seen anyone here yell at someone else for nothing at all, so it’s not like waking them up is going to be a big deal.

You decide to wake Morrigan up first, she’s the one who’s farthest down the hall and she wakes you up all the time, you can do the same favor for her. You knock on the door first, buy you don’t get a reply. Knocking again produces what might be a soft grumble, but you don’t think Morrigan is going to wake up just like that.

Opening the door, you look up in time to see a white object flying towards your face with expert accuracy. The pillow hits you with a “whump” sound, only rocking you a little bit from the surprise.

“Go way!” grumbles Morrigan from her bed, “Don wanna get up.”

“Mary says the food will get cold,” you say, causing Morrigan to turn and snort at you.

“Wha…Will what’re you doing here?” says Morrigan, turning to look at you through squinted eyes.

“Mary said to wake you up,” you say, standing in the door since she appears to be awake, “Or the food will get cold.”

“Urrgh…” grumbles Morrigan, flopping back onto her bed, “She made bacon?”

“Yes,” you reply.

“Fine, I’m getting up,” she says, sitting upright on her bed as the blanket falls off of her, revealing her undershirt and bare stomach, “Go wake someone else up.”

You nod, turning to see Mary behind you opening up Nems door.

“Did she get you?” asks Mary.

You nod.

Mary chuckles a bit at that. “Well it doesn’t look like it was too bad, you go wake up one of the others.”

You nod and decide too…

>>38360814
The bed threw us off our game.

>>38360791
This is gonna hurt. Or be very humorous

>>38360837
It's just thrown him off his game is all.

>>38360837
Its all the bed's fault. When you sleep on it you have the chance to wake up on the wrong side of it!

>>38360953
should we flip the bed then they would be on the right side.

>>38360486
You decide to go wake up Cath next, seeing as how she’s right there. As you take the few steps down the hall that you need to do so, you hear Mary and Nem talking and a thump from Morrigan’s room.

Opening the door reveals her sleeping form covered by a blanket with little else in the room. Stepping closer to her you call out.

“Cath,” you say, to which she doesn’t even appear to notice, “Cath…”

As you finally make it next to her bed, Cath still hasn’t moved even a little, the only reason you aren’t concerned she might be dead is the fact that you can see her breathing.

“Cath,” you say finally reaching out to touch her shoulder, “Cath…”

It all happens in just an instant. One second you’re standing over Cath touching her shoulder. The next thing you see is a fist, then the ceiling as you feel a slight ringing in your ears and something warm runs down your face. There’s thuds from the hallway as you blink your eyes.

“Will…” you hear Mary say, then suddenly you see her over you, “Are you alright? What happened?”

“I…” you say, still blinking, “Dunno…”

You hear a gasp from where Cath should be and manage to tilt your head enough to see Cath now sitting upright, her face looking part mortified and part terrified. Her mouth opens several times, but you can’t hear anything except some scared sounding breathing.

“Cath,” says Mary, “Cath calm down, Will’s fine, aren’t you Will?”

“Yeah…” you say, managing to sit upright as you feel your nose. You don’t think it’s broken at least, though it’s definitely bleeding, “I’m ok.”

“See Cath,” says Mary, “he’s fine.”

You feel Mary’s hands on you as she tries to get you to stand up.

>>38361470
“Come on Will,” she says as you slowly manage to get you to your feet, “Let’s get out of here so Cath can get ready and get you cleaned up ok?”

“Okay,” you say still covering your nose as Mary leads you to the washroom and its small stream of cold water.

“Are you ok by yourself?” Mary asks you as you wash your hand.

“I’m fine,” you say, it really didn’t hurt that bad, just surprised you.

“Alright,” says Mary, “I’m going to wake Bellona up, you stay here until you stop bleeding.”

You nod, now pinching your nose like you were taught so you didn’t bleed on anything important.

Mary moves away, leaving you standing there holding your nose as Morrigan and Nem poke their heads in.

“You alright Will?” asks Nem, “Cath has a mean right hook.”

You just nod your head at them.

“Ok,” says Morrigan, “We’ll be downstairs.”

You nod once more, the bleeding finally starting to slow down as they leave.

As the blood finally does stop at least enough you can clean your other hand, you lower your head to see Cath standing there, her face red and slightly scared looking.

“M’sorry…” you hear her mumble.

>It’s ok.
>Just nod your head.
>I’ve had lots worse.
>Other.

>>38361493
>It’s ok.
>I’ve had lots worse.

She needs to learn to hit harder, otherwise no one will ever take her seriously!

>>38361493

Geeze my wild mass guessing might be right, and it horrifies me if it is!

>>38361493
>Other.
Give Cath headpats

>>38361493
>I've had lots worse

Should we tell Morrigan or does this not count as a beating?

>>38361593
God no, and not just because Will's socially retarded.

>>38361615
Only one punch? No knives? No Boots? This was light at worst.

>>38361615
It was an accident and I'm sure Morrigan knows Cath well enough that there wasn't any malice towards it.

>>38361493
>It’s ok.
>I’ve had lots worse.

>>38361615
Pretty sure she already knows. She checked on us just a second ago

“It’s ok,” you say, finally shaking your hand clear of the last of the blood, “I’ve had lots worse.”

When Cath doesn’t say anything at first you reach down to dry your hands on the towel that Mary always leaves up here. But then you hear Cath speak again.

“Not…ok,” she says, drawing your attention, “Not…okay.”

You look up at her to find her closer to you, her eyes slightly teary.

“Protect…safe…” you hear from her lips as she stares at your side. You’re not sure what she’s looking at, it is where you got hurt before, the guards kicked you really hard that day and you were in lots of pain for a long time but Cath can’t know about that.

“Cath?” you ask her, slightly confused about what’s going on.

“Never…again,” she says, her voice sounding harsher than normal, “Never…again.”

You stand there, still very confused as to what Cath is upset about or trying to tell you, it’s not like you’re actually hurt.

Suddenly Cath turns around, her shoulders slightly turned down as she stands there.

“Sorry…” you hear one more time before Cath steps out into the hallway, the sound of her boots on the stairs coming to you as you blink a few more times in confusion. Finally deciding that you should finish cleaning up, you dry your hands and check your nose one more time to make sure it isn’t bleeding.

>>38362138
Heading down the stairs you find Mary standing next to her desk, digging through it in search of something as the sounds of Morrigan and Nem’s voices drifts over from the kitchen.

“Will,” says Mary with some surprise, turning towards you, “are you better now?”

You shake your head yes. “I’ve had worse.”

A look flashes across Mary’s face briefly, one that you don’t get a good look at but decide you don’t like.

“Well, as long as you’re ok,” she says, pulling out a stack of money from her desk, then counting it.

“Say Will,” Mary says, “Do you want to come with me? I’ve got an errand to run and everyone else is busy eating.”

>Sure. Go with Mary.
>You were going to check the market, you have money.
>You were going to go to the Clinic and talk to Doc Smith.

“Ok,” you say, to which Mary lights up.

“Great,” she says, putting the money in her pocket, “Let’s go then, I think you’ll like it.”

You nod to her, Mary calling out behind you as you go.

“Me and Will are going out for a bit, we’ll be back later!”

You think you hear a muffled return cry as you step outside with Mary, but you can’t actually tell who it’s from.

“So Will,” asks Mary as she leads you towards the corner of the market and then past it, “are you doing ok at MMS, no complaints?”

“Yes,” you say, wondering what there could be to complain about being fed and getting to sleep with blankets, much less getting actual money, in return for only going out and killing a few bandits now and again.

“Hmm,” says Mary, looking at you as you walk.

You turn to look at her, only to have her turn her face forward again.

“Well I’m glad,” she says, her legs striding before you, “I was worried you might have trouble adjusting.”

You shake your head, causing Mary to smile a little.

“Hold on a second Will,” she says, suddenly stopping and turning to look behind you.

You stop and turn too, only to find a man standing a distance behind you, frozen to the spot.

“Can I help you?” says Mary’s voice, all trace of warmth in it gone.

“Ah…ah…” says the man, clearly terrified.

“If not I suggest you leave, now,” she says, her body shifting slightly as the man suddenly turns and starts running away.

You look up at Mary, only to see her face immediately turn from whatever scared the man to a smile as she notices you.

“Sorry about that Will,” she says, patting your shoulder and turning back towards your destination, “I think the man wanted to cause us trouble.”

You nod, turning to follow her as you make the rest of the trip to your destination in silence. Reaching the place where Mary was leading you you discover…a barn, you think. It’s full of lots of large animals, some of them poking their heads out of the stall they’re in.

Mary smiles at them, sticking her hand out and scratching their noses.

“Have you seen horses before Will?” she asks, walking down the long hallway.

“No,” you say, following Mary as a few of the large beasts snort at you.

“Ah, that’s too bad,” she says, “They’re my favorite.”

Walking down to the middle of the barn there’s an open area where you find a man sweeping in front of one of the horses.

“Ah, you must be the one who stopped by the other day,” he says, looking up at Mary, “Looking to buy some of our stock.”

“That’s me,” says Mary, smiling at the man.

“What was it, five?” he asks.

“Seven, actually,” she says, “Plus board, we don’t have space ourselves.”

“Of course of course,” says the man, “Just follow me to my office real fast and we can take care of it.”

“Okay,” says Mary, turning to look at you, “Now you stay here Will, I’ll be back in a minute.”

You nod at her, watching as she heads into a side room with the man, leaving you alone with the horse, which promptly snorts at you.

>>38363117
Don't worry about. Statues are cute anon. You can be cute too.

Mary doesn't have strange pupils either anon.

Doesn't mean she can't be...intense.

>>38363018
>Stay right where you are.
Woman says you stay here, you stay right the fuck here.

>>38363117
Will doesn't know to panic. Some things just have square pupils. Hell horses have rectangles.

>>38363018
>Stay right where you are.

>>38363018
>>Approach the horse.
Will gon' get nipped.

>>38363170
Then what about the purple choker around her neck that's totally not lewd?

>>38362894
Why yes it is, although I did do some drinking that evening. That aside, the best way to stay sober without falling bad around GT students is to introduce yourself (after they've already started the drinking) by walking into the doorframe for their apartment. Slumping into walls and slurred speech is optional. Tripping over things IS mandatory. Basically, you over-act being drunk. It works fairly well.

My brother corrected me though. He had about one and a half more liters of alcohol (that we're certain of) over the course of the evening with a couple cups of water. Granted, he was drinking
for about seven (?) hours overall.

>>38363117
It is not the same as sheep eyes. Sheep eyes are longer on the horizontal axis.

>>38363191
She's wearing a turtleneck anon, will wouldn't know. Besides, what's lewd?

>>38363195
I have no words.

Pretending to be drunk all the time around Eastern Europeans is probably a good idea.

>>38363215
I didn't see a "no" in there.....

>>38363238
No.

Anyway, it looks like Will isn't moving.

Writing.

>>38363238
So is it incidental that you suck or are you trying?

>>38363253
My guess is Will will get kicked no matter what happens.

>>38363018
Mary (Rider) likes horses. Who could have seen that one coming? Everyone, literally everyone.

>>38363287
I thought she liked bicycles?

>>38363287
Did you see it coming before the thread?

>>38363287
Saw it coming since she was introduced mate

>>38363287
>>38363326
It's not like I'm, predictable or anything.

I don't understand. Anons. We are getting horses. We are going to be cowboys.

That is exciting.

>>38363404
>>38363379
Do we get to be Big Damn Heroes soon? That's one of my major concerns. Morrigan kinda makes me think of Mal, and Will is almost the genderswap, modernized version of River.

>>38363404
>Doesn't remember eggs
You think he's got a solid grip on cow boys?

>>38363442
He's not super SPECUUAL skilled at all. Everyone is also much more damaged then the crew of the Serenity.

>>38363404
Just wait till the Indians show up. Because Cowboys and Indians was briefly stated in either the prologue or thread 1. So obviously there need to be scalpers with arrows and tomahawks.

>>38363404
Do we get horse armors? Or DLCs?

I dunno about that but I'm fine with being Big Damn Mercs that are At Least Neutral.

>>38363404
>>38363442
>>38363469
Probably more like Dragoons.

Get on the horse, ride to the place, hop of the horse, be infantry and kill shit.

Then hop back on the horse (with loot) and ride home.

>>38363469
Do we go after the first Aboriginal we see?

>>38363523
I thought Dragoons were about ride somewhere, dismount, snipe, then ride again to get out of there? Like a mobile sniper platform?

>>38363528
Not unless Morrigan tells us to.

>>38363523
That's cool too I guess.

Anyway, GT-broAnon passing the hell out. Please don't make me sad when I read what happened while I slept. Maybe I'll have more stories next time.

>>38363542
Nope, just infantry trained to ride horses so they could get from place to place faster.

They might've done a bit of sniping, but still line infantry.

>>38363659
Oh. Thanks anon. I guess history made them more glorious than they really are?

>>38363677
Depends, they did some horseback stuff too, the line was really blurry on what or wasn't a dragoon vs actual cavalry a lot of the time.

>>38363707
Was Calvary seen as the elite back then? Or just give the nobles something to do so they don't bother the rest of the army?

>>38363724
Depends on how far back you go, which nation and the tech level.

But mostly cavalry was elite or at least seen as better than being a foot-slogger.

You don’t move. There is absolutely no reason for you to move and several reasons for you not to. The main reason for you to not move is that Mary told you not too. That’s more than enough reason for you not too, even if you’re not going to get beaten for it. Mary’s nice to you and feeds you, so you aren’t going to move.

The other thing that makes you not want to move is the giant thing standing close to you only held there by the ropes around its nose. It’s not that you’re scared of the thing, it’s just that you don’t think you want to test its patience. You know to respect people that are bigger than you and the horse is bigger than any of them. It even looks like it’s kind of smart, it’s one eye focused on you as it stomps the ground with its big…foot thing.

It’s only a couple minutes until Mary comes out of the room with the man, but the horse looks at you nearly the entire time and snorts a few more times for good measure. Mary is smiling as she comes out, nearly bouncing on her feet.

“So that’ll keep you up on board for a few months then,” says the man as he comes out behind Mary, “Then we’ll talk payment again.”

“I’m sure it’ll be fine,” says Mary, “we’ve got a pretty steady source of income.”

“S’good to hear,” says the man, “We’ll have em so they’re all ready for you whenever you need em.”

“Even at night?” asks Mary.

“Well we wouldn’t do much good if we didn’t have someone here at all times,” says the man, “horses are valuable these days.”

“True,” says Mary, walking up to the horse that had been staring at you and petting it, the large beasts making it’s strange noise again as it rubs its head against Mary’s hand.

>>38363779
Ahhh thanks anon.

Sometimes I wonder how they shoot straight from horses or even how modern army shoot straight from a moving tank/vehicle.

>>38363836
“Did you want to try them out for yourselves?” asks the man, “There’s a ring out back if you’d like.”

“What do you think Will?” asks Mary, “Should we try some riding or go back?”

>Try some riding.
>Go back, you wanted to stop at the market.
>Go back, you wanted to read some more.
>Go back you…
>Other.

>>38363860
>Try some riding.

>>38363860
>Shrug

>>38363860
>Try some riding.

>>38363860
[x] Try some riding.

On one hand, Will wants to please Mary.

On the other hand, it would be even more hilarious when we fail at riding in front of Belladona and she waifu us still.

>>38363860
>>Try some riding.

With a nod. We should learn - that'll make us useful.

>>38363860

>>38363860
>>Try some riding.
Mary's good so if Mary likes them they can't be all that bad now can they?

>>38363724
They were fairly elite. Horses were valuable back then, and in military value a good cavalry charge could win you the battle. That and they made perfect skirmishers (as in dragoons and scouts).

I would also feel elite if I were a bloke on top of 500kgs of muscle and armour charging at some poor bastard on the ground.

>>38364009
Good point. Did Calvary at that time provided their own mount?

>>38363860
>Go back you…
Want to go to Doc's get good at fixing people.

Looks like we're trying some riding!

>>38364111
im so glad you were slow

Will has just been having a shot day. Normally Will is "Heaven or Hell" but today he is just Hell and purgatory. No real good stuff.

>>38364130
Poor will. Even the horses will bully him.

>>38364193
Honestly being average on a horse isn't bad.

Lots of people are scared as piss of em once they get on one.

>>38364221
True. My secret shame is that I never rode a horse in my life.

charging into battle on horse back in the day of machine guns will really only get you and the horse killed, horses make for good transport/pack animal/emergency ration and that's it.

>>38364240
But imagine the morale loss when you are being charged by a horse with a machine gun on it!

>>38364238
>Haven't rode a horse

You must not live in Glorious Texas.

>>38364221
They are also bloody stubborn bastards if they want to be.Sadly speaking from experience here....

>>38364274
I know what you mean. Took lessons for a few years.

>>38364258
No. My confederate anon.

>>38364221
Being scared on a horse is the best way to fall or be thrown off. The horse WILL fuck with you. Personal experience taught me that, on both a docile horse and a stockhorse.

That is why I prefer motorbikes and 4wds. Only a few places a horse beats me on those, and if you own land on the side of a mountain and run cattle or sheep on it, you deserve all the bullshit that horses come with.

>>38364238
It's not too bad. I was always weary of them but after riding them I'm no longer afraid.

However if you're on one and don't know what your doing and accidentally send the signal to gallop it's horrifying.

>>38364306
>run cattle or sheep on it

What madness would make a man run cattle up a mountain? Sheep is natural there, but cattles?

>>38364307
I look forward to my first ride and my broken arm then.

>>38364335
'Straya. It's called Hill country, and it's full of nasty little gullies and creeks and wombat holes.

A horse can see and jump these (mostly).
A motorbike does not.

>>38364353
Or accidentally scrapping your neck against a branch. Dam horses and trees.

>>38364378
You can also offer the horrific creatures your horse as a sacrifice. They won't eat motor bikes.

>>38364258
Most people in Texas haven't rode a horse either.

>>38364353
Arm? Nah. In my experience, they're more likely to run you against a tree. And since saddles are already bad on your legs if you don't know how to sit, it's the worst.

Horses are assholes. I think the only reason they don't fuck with me anymore is because they know I'd rather eat them than put up with their shit.

>>38364410
>sacrificing your mate to the horrors of the bush
>Not carrying your bigger knife and murdering the shit outta the horrors, or buying them off with grog.

What are you, some kinda silly tourist? There is a reason we don't let you guys out of the cities unsupervised.

>>38364505
>Implying I would visit the eye of terror
Nice try Aussie but you can keep your abominations to yourself.

>>38364409
Horses are added to the list of asshole animals.

>>38364378
That is actually pretty neat.

>>38364561
Horses are no more or less assholes than people are.

Just take that as you will.

>>38364580
Well atleast they're smarter then the average American.....Yes i hate my country sometimes.....Most of the time.....

>>38364580
Camels, on the other hand...

Mabye thats why the Middle East is so touchy about everything.

>>38363860
You might not be the best at lots of things, but you’re pretty good at telling when people want something. So it’s pretty easy for you to see that Mary wants to ride some horses, even if you aren’t too sure about the whole thing. Thus, you’ll ride some horses, even if it isn’t going to be something you’ll enjoy very much.

“We can try riding,” you say, only to have Mary’s face light up as she turns to the man.

“I think we’ll try riding for a bit,” she says, her hand stroking the big animal’s neck.

“Alrighty then,” says the man, “You want to take Ole Larry there?”

“Sure,” says Mary, patting the horse once again, “If you have a more docile horse I think Will’s never ridden before.”

“Righty,” says the man, “Brie’s who you’re looking for, I’ll go grab her.”

Mary nods, mostly ignoring the man now as she takes a strange looking brush and begins to clean the horse. The man comes back with another horse, this one slightly smaller than the first one.

“Now since this is your first time let me show you how to do this…” says the man, who then proceeds to show you all the various brushes and picks you’re supposed to use on the horse, then all the gear that gets put on them. Mary doesn’t seem to need any help, having cleaned and saddled her horse all by herself.

>>38364711

Once you’re all done the man leads you both outside, showing you how to get on the horse and telling you how to direct it. Mary waits patiently until you’re done, then seemingly levitates her way up on the horse. You however take your time, managing to make it up on your horse on the third try, though the horse seems mildly irritated by this.

In the end you ride around the ring on the horse slowly at nothing much more than a walking pace. While it was slightly scary at first, you find your horse follows Mary’s around easily enough and you only have to get used to the height difference and the fact that the thing between your legs occasionally has a mind of its own. Eventually you get down off your horse, but Mary stays on a bit longer. You watch her as she rides around at a full “gallop” which to you looks like the horse going breakneck speeds nearly uncontrollably. Mary however seems to have the time of her life and eventually the two of you leave the stables, Mary still with that big grin on her face.

“That was fun,” she says as you walk back, “Thanks Will.”

You nod at her.

“So was there anything you wanted to do Will?” she asks you.

>No, just go home.
>Yes, go to the market.
>Yes, go to…
>Other.
