Who: All Draftees
What: Killing Third Party members and taking names
When: 7/26 - 7/31
Where: Sirry Crags
Summary: Mass-interaction for those out on the battlefield. Feel free to make team threads along with individual ones or however you wish. Action tags are fine here along with prose. For those plotting mischief, this is the place to do it.
Rating: R for the likely violence since killing will most definitely happen, but this is more for interactions during the battles.

[And early on the 26th everyone gets sent out. Thanks to Caesar's organization, most everyone has been placed in groups, even if some people plan on leaving their groups at some point. Check out this post for the details. If you haven't posted to this post and want your character on a team, please do so.]

Special note: Ignore the comments that said there would be 400, that has been retconned and we were told 1200 Third Party members from the start. Enjoy killing them off and taking names.

Special note 2: I asked Akai if any of the Third Party will be coming and dealing with their incapacitated allies, and they will. So assume that unless something is done to prevent this, those injured Third Party members may come back later healed and ready to attack again (though possibly not as effectively).

I'm alright. [Said in the most monotone voice ever.]

I've heard that before. [Supes folds his arms, looking over the for-now quiet battlefield.] Said it myself, too. We both know it's not true. Nobody could really be "alright" in the middle of this.

[The smallest of laughs that holds no joy.] I can't disagree with that. I'm not hurt too badly.

[A pause] There are so many... they shouldn't have had to die.

[Superman nods at that.] I know. They might have been our enemies, but they were still people.

[Finally, someone who isn't here to lecture him.] Yes, they had lives. There must be some other way to stop them.

Well, when it comes to that...

[Supes opens his right hand, showing Vash a syringe.] We've been using these.

What's in it? [Not that Vash has had no real problem shooting people and then knocking them out.]

Tranquilizer. A good friend of mine mixed it up precisely for this.

[He smiles a little. Well, that explains some of the downed people he saw with so few injuries.] How long does it last?

Not quite a full day. We've been working on making sure they don't get up to cause trouble after that.

[He pats Vash's shoulder a bit.] Just remember, you're not the only one out there fighting things this way. I know a lot of the more soldierly types are probably giving you guff, but the Malnosso brought us out here, so they'll have to deal with the job we're willing to do.

They have... just a bit, but I'm use to it. [Maybe not quiet at this extremes, but he'll live.]

Yeah, I bet you are. [He gives a little sigh, folding his arms. Supes is used to that sort of talk too, mostly from the younger generation.]

Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet. Superman. [He offers Vash the hand that wasn't just patting his shoulder.]

[Super...man? Smiles.] Vash. [Takes the offered hand.]

Good to meet you, Vash. [His shake is strong, very strong, but clearly holding back.] I'm probably in the minority here, but I have to say I'm glad to be fighting alongside somebody like you.

[Vash notes it, but doesn't say anything.] Likewise, to tell you the truth I was a little worried I'd be smacked over the head and dumped somewhere by now. [Which Yuber will do in the form of teleporting in a day or so.]
