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).

[A soft sound that says he agrees.] We don't even know really why we're fighting.

[...Batman's not one to pull punches, so he's going to be quick and give his point of view to the point.]

...We're fighting because these people are bent on wiping all of us out down to the last man, woman, and child. That includes the Malnosso.

[Batman grimaces as he determines the Third Party warrior he was examining was very dead. Somewhat disappointed, he stands up to his full height.]

...In a sense, we're fighting to protect not only ourselves and the village, but the one chance we have to get home. ...And if what the Malnosso have been claiming is true, we may very well be fighting for the sake of the very multiverse as well.

Is it...? I can understand protecting the others, but I have trouble believing what they say. [Deep down he knew they'd drag him out here anyway, but that still hurt.]

...You're not the only one.

[And how.]

...But remember. Just because you are out here does not mean you are compromising your principles. Or that you have to.

[His face grows hard.] I won't. [He won't make that mistake again. Never again.] I will keep my vision clear.

[But he's been a bit rude.] How are you holding up?

Well enough.

[...Relatively speaking, of course. Honestly, all this death was sitting very poorly with Batman as well, though he was not quick to vocalize it. An idea strikes him, however. He'll approach the gunman.]

...Vash, let me see your gun for a moment.

[Vash pauses and looks around; making sure there aren't anymore attackers nearby. Although if Batman has had enough time to watch anyone else fight besides himself, then he should know by now that this isn't the only gun Vash has. Having another one in his left arm.

But after a look he pops the camber open and catches the bullets inside before handing it over. Old habits die hard, you do not hand someone you hardly know your loaded gun.]

[It's proper gun etiquette anyway, and Batman doesn't even flinch at the removing of the chambered rounds. He looks into the cylinder of the gun when he's handling it, getting an idea of the caliber.

And it's obvious that this is no ordinary revolver; that it's master-crafted and very special. Vash was clearly an incredible shot on his own, and this gun was probably an astounding fit for his desire to fight non-lethally.

He'll hand the weapon back to Vash a moment later.]

...The Malnosso gave me the equipment to produce a high-grade tranquilizer. I figured you might want some tranquilizer rounds chambered for your weapon as well. If you're interested, the Malnosso might be able to provide them.

[Actually; quiet the opposite. That gun was made special for the sole purpose of wiping out the human race. He takes it and starts to refill it.]

Really? I didn’t think of them having some that could fit my gun.

They've been able to cater to many other desires. If it increases your combat efficiency, they'll probably work with us.

I'll have to ask, I've never used darts before as ammo.

I planned on doing that on your behalf. Someone has to fill those darts.

You'll want to practice shooting darts. They will have a different muzzle velocity and trajectory than the normal rounds you're used to.

[He nods] Of course, maybe I can request to be sent somewhere to train a bit. Practicing in that room I think would wake that neighbors.

Request your room to be soundproofed.

That might work, but I guess the first step is to see if they can fit my gun.
