Late night

[getter-class.livejournal.com]

[It's one in the morning. The Tower rumbles along the ground alongside the giant White Chalice. After the last few battles, the two ships are closer together than they normally are for safety, and so any of you night owls may occasionally pick up the sound of someone playing a harmonica when the wind blows in the right direction if you're standing on the deck of the White Chalice. If you look you might make out the figure doing it, although it's too dark to be sure. Investigate?]

[Waves a little, she didn't mean to stop him from playing.]

I'm sorry I was just curious as to who was playing. It was pretty.

It's a very old song. Reminds me of the world before...

[He gestures to the dark, post-apocalyptic wasteland rolling by.]

...All of this.

[She nodded and thought a moment.] Wait right there.

[She ran into the hangar grabbing her Strikers, forgetting to ask for take off clearance she jumped the gap using them to fly over the ground, landing on the deck of the other ship a few feet away from him.]

This way we're not yelling at each other. And it is so different from where I'm from, but still a lot like it too... But I don't remember much before the Neuroi.

You can't be old enough to even remember the world before the second impact.

[She shook her head.]

Is that what caused all that? [Nods to what he had motioned before.]

[getter-class.livejournal.com]

Don't they teach you these things in school?

[Have a sheepish look at the ground.]

I haven't had formal classes in a while okay? Not since I became one of the Strike Witches... then it was more about battle tactics...

Yes, the Neuroi are responsible for a fair bit of damage, but compared to the second impact, they are toddlers kicking over sand castles. We'll be lucky if we can stabilize the earth environment before it finishes descending into a centuries long nuclear winter.

[Lucchini catches the 'winter' bit. Winter = cold, something she hated with a passion]

Okay yeah that would be bad. There a plan in motion? Why we stan... Oh right, I'm still out of commission for missions at least another week, they're still off a little. [Meaning her strikers, she was going to have to ask Shirley about helping her tweak them right]

It's also the middle of the night.
