Clasping her hands together, Iveta found it hard not to act nervous. It was too much for her to hide, her hands trembling as she bowed her head.

"Everyone... I..." Iveta blurted, feeling even more guilty than before. She appreciated the support they were giving her. Thinking over the fate of the club, she found it harder to bring the bad news to them. But as Avelina leaned over to hold her hands, the Latvian could barely hold it in. Breaking into tears, she buried herself in her friend's bosoms in agony, wailing over her own shortcomings and worries.
"I'm an idiot..." Iveta cursed, "I'm a idiot... It's frustrating!... I... I didn't know the first thing about tankery!... I just wanted to ride the tank... I didn't know it'd come to this!... I should have checked first... I should have..."
"Don't be silly," Avelina said, "we didn't want this to happen. What matters is everyone's fine now. No need to blame yourself."
"B-But..." Iveta whined.
"Let the principal and student council decide," Avelina assured her, "whatever happens, we're all still here for you. Isn't that right, everyone!?"
"My god..." Kirke blurted, giving two a smile, "I'm still here for you two. I'm sure Astlik and Terhikki are too."
Come what may, the trio would stick together no matter what. They might lose their tanks, but they could not break their friendship, not by a long shot.

Once more, a mixed reaction was delivered by the three Indonesians who were still left. Odetta was firm in her resolve to look bored, though it was more apparent that she was raising her eyebrows in weak concern for what the artillery team was saying. If anything, she had been the least to find the entire affair problematic, and had already 'forgiven' the team, even though she had to guide the tank back after Hermione had went down to take care of Fatimah.
Fatimah slowly lowered her hand from her nose, tapping her fingers together and simply looking at Adelia to give the final statement. She nudged the commander to say something, and with a sigh, said girl looked up once more and nodded her head.
"I'm not one to hold things against my former opponents," Adelia began, "Granted, they never did anything life threatening to us. But considering that your sincerity seems to be honest, I, and to an extent the teammates besides me, accept your team's apology."
She then raised a finger. "However, as you've noticed, one of us is currently not going to be swayed by your words easily," she continued, "And with good reason. My half-Dutch friend is hard-headed, and well... Just cannot accept it when her friend is hurt. Surely you can tell why, but I will try in my hardest to get her to understand, and I hope that you put some effort in as well."
Sonitusia wrote:She then acknowledged the rest of the table. "This also goes to you as well, club commander, Berta. We're all in this together, and if we have a weak link, then there's nothing to be fighting for. You brought us together into this group, Vet, and I expect that you continue to keep us together no matter what happens. We're here for you, so you had better be here for us."
Wolfenium wrote:"Everyone..." Iveta muttered, surprised by the shower of support as Umida wrapped her arms around the trio, "you're right... I shouldn't worry..."
Climbing atop the table to her friends' surprise, Iveta called out, "I won't give up! If you're fighting for the club, then I'll keep fighting for you! For our friends and our school... I don't care what comes next! We're going straight for the crown! Who's with me!?"
Wolfenium wrote:"Iveta," a familiar, straight-talking voice quickly cut her short, startling the mikan-haired girl, "the... principal wants to see you."
It was Henna, her arms crossed as usual. From the looks of it, she seemed displeased at something, not the least at Iveta.
Wolfenium wrote:"Emma, they nearly got someone killed by asphyxiation," the Finn with the beauty mark yelled, "how can I not close the club!?"
"Their instructor will handle that, relax," Emma assured her, waving off her concerns, "she'll be very strict on them, I assure you."
"That's not the issue, Emma," Henna barked again, "you saw what happened! They had part of the park burnt down! God knows what would have happened! You know how dangerous tankery is! You're from St. Elisabeth, of all places!"
Wolfenium wrote:"Wait," Iveta blurted, her eyes shifting to Emma, "she's from St. Elisabeth?"
As the eyes descended upon Emma, the girl's usual demeanour quietly melted away. A serious look in her eyes, she appeared a little displeased with Henna's slip, though far from angry. Peering at the club, she could tell they wanted answers. She did not appear keen to make a fuss out of it. After all, everything that had happened there was in the past to her. It seemed pointless to recount that to Iveta and her new club.

"H-Hoek..." blurted Iveta in bewilderment, standing in front of the principal's desk, "you're the new principal?..."
Surprises, as it turned out, was Emma's specialty, and her latest was even more shocking. Standing beside the table as she greeted the club members, the girl eagerly squealed, "ja! Haven't you heard? But please, call me Emma! I may be the head of the school, but I'm still a student! It's like bunny chow! Great mix, isn't it?"
"B-Bunny chow," Kirke blurted in a slight cringe, a bit disturbed by the name, "I don't understand..."
"What'd you mean 'you don't understand'," whined the blonde, pouting a bit at her apprehension.
"It's exactly as she said," Henna hounded almost immediately, as the Afrikaner fell over at the yell, "why the hell did you take the position. No... Why did you even come back?"
"Aww..." Emma swooned, coddling the scowling student president, "because I miss you, that all. You and Milla~."
"You don't need to move back, you know," grunted Henna, "much less this."
"Well, I can't have you close down the club, so I took the liberty to arrange their applications instead," Emma declared cheekily.
"Emma, they nearly got someone killed by asphyxiation," the Finn with the beauty mark yelled, "how can I not close the club!?"
"Their instructor will handle that, relax," Emma assured her, waving off her concerns, "she'll be very strict on them, I assure you."

Hermione shouted, slightly blowing Adelia's hair back, "I SWEAR TO GOD, I LEAVE YOU ALL TO YOURSELVES TO STUDY, AND YOU DECIDE TO DRESS UP AS FASCISTS AND A COMMUNIST! OR MAYBE BECAUSE OF SOME OTHER CRAZY SCHEME YOU MANAGED TO PERFO-"
Adelia was desperately pointing to the right, and the bespectacled girl turned her head for a moment to finally take notice of the other members of the Tankery Club. Going silent, her anger was replaced by absolute embarrassment, her face going red.
"Oh, err... Sorry... It looks like I'm bothering..."
Sulking and not wanting to look anyone in the eye, Hermione scooted over to the corner. The one furthest from Buxtehide, no less.
Komodo team sighed in unison, but Fauna was simply surprised at how close they were. Apparently they knew of each other way too well, and how they were willing to show all of their emotion to express something to one another. Well, except for Odetta, though the Brit had yet to see anything of the sort.
"Uhm... *cough*... In any case, I don't know about your relationship with Iveta," Fauna began, speaking towards Emma, "But I simply want to know if the Tankery Club will continue to run. And not just because of your orders, but because everyone, including the angry Finn, agrees. If there is any way we can somehow repay for our teammates' mistake, I believe that all parties can agree on something..."

Wolfenium wrote:"Who're you calling angry," Henna barked angrily, quite outraged by the words, "I'm just concerned after what happened? And mind you, your captain got knocked out first. What if she was the flag!? What kind of captain tries to pit a KV-1 with a long range gun against a Pershing at point blank!? You make me sick."
...
"A-Ah..." Avelina murmured, "I guess. But are we even going to get that far? You heard Henna. I'm assuming you're not going to close the club."
"Of course not," confirmed the girl with a tease, "but only if you girls are willing. As for punishment, I have to agree with our angry Finn on this one. We need to repay the damages to the park somehow. If we can't, we'll just have to shutter the club and sell the tanks, and we don't want to resort to that, do we?"
"EHHHHHH," Iveta screamed in horror, "sell the tanks!? But we only just got them! Is there anything else we can do!?"
"Well," Emma wondered, "I suppose there is one thing... The tournament promises a prize money for the championship winner, given directly to the club. It should be enough to pay off the damages and more~. As for the remainder and budget for tank maintenance and supplies, I think we can figure out something."
....
"You don't understand, do you," Henna insisted, "tankery isn't just a sport. The strategy and tactics involved are used in real life battles - battles that are occurring somewhere in this world right now. Do you think you have what it takes to take on the top schools in Europe? Mind you, Aylin Sadik wasn't the only ace in last year's tournament. She had to fight her way through the likes of Yeliza von Lyuneberg-Pommern and Aileen Arbuthnott to win the championship. Many were just as crafty as her, if not more. And you think you can take on them with absolute zero experience?..."

And you think you can take on them with absolute zero experience?..."
"Well I wouldn't say absolute zero," Adelia mentioned, finally smoothing out her uniform after being manhandled by Hermione, "I didn't get to Europe on grades alone after all, though it is rather sad that this club was only established during my second year."
She put up a finger, wagging it from side to side.
"And I'm sure you would know, Henna, a proper flag tank wouldn't be the Kliment in the first place," she added, "It's either our most heavily armored, one of our quickest, or a vehicle with the lowest silhouette. None of which the Russian vehicle possesses."
Putting her hands at her hips, she then grinned widely and looked towards Emma.
"We have a winner right before us, if I may be so bold, those who can deploy strategies used to this day, and those who are actually trained for modern warfare. Am I correct, Private Pool?"
Fauna's body straightened, as if being brought to attention. She was dumbfounded by all the things being argued between the principal, school president, and club founder that she was surprised to suddenly be mentioned by the Indonesian girl, who even used her rank despite Fauna not having told her yet. She had only heard the rank with her name being used back at training.
"U-Uh, yes, that's true, but I'm trained in airborne insertion and have no combat experience-," she replied, only to be cut off by Adelia once more.
"Nonsense, you showed an exemplary show during practice, mechanized parainfantrywoman," the Indonesian continued, "And just by judging from your knowledge on European tankery and those who play it, Henna, I can presume we have at the minimal four individuals who can bring this club to victory. Not including the budding potential I see in every single person in this room and, to an extent, the entire team. If Aylin can do it, then Iveta, and I, can too. We'll obtain that money and fix our beloved park once more. Guaranteed."
Hermione huffed inaudibly, but was smirking nonetheless. If there was anything she learned from her year with Adelia, it was that she intimidated not only her opponents, but her own teammates as well. She may not know it, she not only earned her right to become the ace of an entire nation by her skill on the board, but also in how she played with people's hopes. And of course, dreams.
"What say you, school president?" Adelia concluded, "Continue to be the 'angry Finn' Fauna said earlier, or become the de facto leader of Europe's Tankery Champion, Rauschen Girls' High School?"

Wolfenium wrote:Glaring at Adelia's audacious proposal, Henna did not appear the least amused. As expected of her position, fame and glory did not seem to have tempted her, though Adelia's confidence irked her quite a bit. Gripping her arms, the student president tried hard not to be cowed. If all the people to show the nerve...
"I can understand if you don't feel the pressure, Nasution," Henna stated, her eyes shifting at Iveta and her friends, "I don't exactly expect the former champion of a middle school East Asian tournament to feel the heat to a great extent. But a team is as strong as its weakest link, and safe to say, this club has a lot. Who do you people think you are, Oarai?."
"Yes," Emma interjected cheekily, her eyes shifting at the crewmen as she spun around with her arms wide with embrace, "we will be the Oarai of Europe! We will take the continent and world by storm! We even have the tank mixture and mystery prodigies to match! Isn't that right, everyone!?"
Henna was outnumbered, and her posture showed. It was hard to deny that what they were attempting was possible, even as a remote chance. Never mind Aylin Sadik. The club was far closer to Oarai than St Elisabeth could ever be. The underdog school that scraped up their age old tanks to beat not only the best schools in Japan, but a university, the legend of Miho Nishizumi was, arguably, far greater than any European tank ace. But it was still a hard act to follow, and Henna's lack of confidence was feeding her ire for the upstart tankery club members. In the end, however, it was the principal's word against her own. Henna never had a real chance of protesting.
"You already made your decision," she admitted grudgingly, "who am I to refuse. However, if you really want to become the next Oarai, you're going to need to do more than commit reckless arson. Your captain is a hopeless newbie. How do you intend to shape her up?"
"I'm right here, you know," Iveta blurted indignantly, locking eyes with the student president as Henna closed in on her face. Unnerving the young captain, Henna questioned, "so what? A captain has to be the best of the club, or this club is dead. You claim to like tankery but I don't see an iota of actual fiber. Tell me, your friends claim they could become the next Oarai, but do you know how? In the match against Oarai and Anzio, what was Anzio's deception strategy, and how did Oarai see through their plans? Rest of you, shut up."
"Eh... Anzio?..." Iveta blurted, "is that some Italian school-"
"Wrong," snapped the student president suddenly, stepping forward to confront her as she fell back on the girl behind, "Anzio deployed wooden plywood dummies to try to funnel Oarai into a killzone and surround them, but Oarai discovered the plan when Anzio deployed one dummy too many, exceeding the regulation number of tanks and exposing them as fakes. Also, what are the favourite flowers of Oarai's Rabbit Team?"
"Eh? Ehhhhhhhhh!?" the captain screamed, clearly unable to answer such trivia.
"Wrong a-gain," Henna countered, "Baby's Breath, Marguerite, Apricot, Marigold, Lily of the Valley and Pansy, are all the favourite flowers of Azusa, Ayumi, Saki, Karina, Yuuki and Aya respectively. And you call yourself a tankery fan. How dare you!?"
"That's useless trivia," yelled the panicking captain, much to the nervousness of her friends, "how the hell am I supposed to know!?"
"If you're that good, why don't you help," Avelina questioned, a bit ticked off, "don't tell me..."
Almost instantly, the once-prideful facade of the student council president began to fall apart precipitously. The more she argued, the more the club began to realize her true nature. Apprehension slowly turned to mischief as Avelina and Iveta began grin. Emma herself needed no explanation. She appeared to have known Henna's tankery-centric fanaticism already.
"You guys..." Kirke went, clearly worried about the duo. She did not particularly enjoy the idea of harassing Henna. Sadly, she might be the only one who thought so, given the Finn's attitude throughout...

Sonitusia wrote:"Bunny chow, a rather unique form of South African-Indian cuisine," Adelia noted, "Curry kept in a loaf of bread, perhaps one could develop a delicious alternative to field rations with it, considering that it balances carbohydrates, protein, and fibers in one. Though fat would be an issue..."
The three members of Komodo currently gathered, along with Fauna, did not know how to react to the principal, who was very well within their age group, and had admitted to still being a student. Truly it was quite interesting to know that a school ship had almost every student operating it, whether it be in a functional or administrative use. Any port city that owned a school ship must be rather proud of the girls on board, having put their trust in young adults who weren't even legally allowed to drive a car yet.
They let Iveta's group and Emma bash it out, until some rather sensitive information spilled out of Henna's mouth. Adelia quickly went into action, walking up with a wide, rather sinister grin spread across her face. In her eyes were clear intent; there were things they must talk about.
"Saint Elizabeth?" she chuckled, a wild fire in her eyes, "Now that's a very interesting bit of info. You wouldn't mind sharing more would you, dear-"
Unfortunately, Adelia's moment of glory was hogged by the door being burst open. Heads were turned, only to find themselves looking at a very angry looking student. Pushing her glasses up, the the lenses seemed to reflect a bit before clearly showing off her enraged pupils. Adelia looked to Odetta for explanation as the girl walked forwards, each step a very violent tap.
"I told her we were called to the principal's office," the Sundanese girl said blankly.
Suddenly speeding up upon reaching two meters, she had somehow managed to cross the distance in seemingly half a second. Adelia found herself being lifted by the collar, forced to look down to face Hermione.
"Herm, it's not what you-"
"IS THIS BECAUSE OF THAT NAZI OUTFIT YOU ALL WORE THAT OTHER DAY?!" Hermione shouted, slightly blowing Adelia's hair back, "I SWEAR TO GOD, I LEAVE YOU ALL TO YOURSELVES TO STUDY, AND YOU DECIDE TO DRESS UP AS FASCISTS AND A COMMUNIST! OR MAYBE BECAUSE OF SOME OTHER CRAZY SCHEME YOU MANAGED TO PERFO-"
Adelia was desperately pointing to the right, and the bespectacled girl turned her head for a moment to finally take notice of the other members of the Tankery Club. Going silent, her anger was replaced by absolute embarrassment, her face going red.
"Oh, err... Sorry... It looks like I'm bothering..."
Sulking and not wanting to look anyone in the eye, Hermione scooted over to the corner. The one furthest from Buxtehude, no less.
Komodo team sighed in unison, but Fauna was simply surprised at how close they were. Apparently they knew of each other way too well, and how they were willing to show all of their emotion to express something to one another. Well, except for Odetta, though the Brit had yet to see anything of the sort.
Sonitusia wrote:"Uhm... *cough*... In any case, I don't know about your relationship with Iveta," Fauna began, speaking towards Emma, "But I simply want to know if the Tankery Club will continue to run. And not just because of your orders, but because everyone, including the angry Finn, agrees. If there is any way we can somehow repay for our teammates' mistake, I believe that all parties can agree on something..."
Wolfenium wrote:"Yes," she confirmed in a more reminiscent tone, "I spent my second year in St. Elisabeth before returning here. It was there I saw for myself Aylin's rise as Tankery captain. She was just a freshman then, but she dared to challenge the old captain head on in a duel. With just a H35 Hotchkiss, she knocked out her King Tiger through sheer guile."
Wolfenium wrote:"She had to fight her way through the likes of Yeliza von Lyuneberg-Pommern and Aileen Arbuthnott to win the championship."
Sonitusia wrote:"And I'm sure you would know, Henna, a proper flag tank wouldn't be the Kliment in the first place," she added, "It's either our most heavily armored, one of our quickest, or a vehicle with the lowest silhouette."
Sonitusia wrote:"We have a winner right before us, if I may be so bold, those who can deploy strategies used to this day, and those who are actually trained for modern warfare. Am I correct, Private Pool?"
"U-Uh, yes, that's true, but I'm trained in airborne insertion and have no combat experience-," she replied, only to be cut off by Adelia once more.
"Nonsense, you showed an exemplary show during practice, mechanized parainfantrywoman," the Indonesian continued, "And just by judging from your knowledge on European tankery and those who play it, Henna, I can presume we have at the minimal four individuals who can bring this club to victory. Not including the budding potential I see in every single person in this room and, to an extent, the entire team. If Aylin can do it, then Iveta, and I, can too. We'll obtain that money and fix our beloved park once more. Guaranteed."
Wolfenium wrote:"I can understand if you don't feel the pressure, Nasution," Henna stated, her eyes shifting at Iveta and her friends, "I don't exactly expect the former champion of a middle school East Asian tournament to feel the heat to a great extent. But a team is as strong as its weakest link, and safe to say, this club has a lot. Who do you people think you are, Oarai?"
Wolfenium wrote:"Wrong," snapped the student president suddenly, stepping forward to confront her as she fell back on the girl behind, "Anzio deployed wooden plywood dummies to try to funnel Oarai into a killzone and surround them, but Oarai discovered the plan when Anzio deployed one dummy too many, exceeding the regulation number of tanks and exposing them as fakes."
Wolfenium wrote:"Wrong a-gain," Henna countered, "Baby's Breath, Marguerite, Apricot, Marigold, Lily of the Valley and Pansy, are all the favourite flowers of Azusa, Ayumi, Saki, Karina, Yuuki and Aya respectively. And you call yourself a tankery fan. How dare you!?"
"That's useless trivia," yelled the panicking captain, much to the nervousness of her friends, "how the hell am I supposed to know!?"
Wolfenium wrote:"If you're that good, why don't you help," Avelina questioned, a bit ticked off, "don't tell me..."
Almost instantly, the once-prideful facade of the student council president began to fall apart precipitously. The more she argued, the more the club began to realize her true nature. Apprehension slowly turned to mischief as Avelina and Iveta began to grin. Emma herself needed no explanation. She appeared to have known Henna's tankery-centric fanaticism already.
"You guys..." Kirke went, clearly worried about the duo. She did not particularly enjoy the idea of harassing Henna. Sadly, she might be the only one who thought so, given the Finn's attitude throughout...
MInroz wrote:From the sidelines, Aliya, Umida and Tatiana altogether have observed the odd exchanges with confusion spread on their faces. However, when Henna began mentioned about the famed Oarai academy and then subjects related to tankery, the three Prussians have started to become suspicious of the school council president herself. They knew something was amiss because the Finn’s attitude about tankery is likened to a fangirl.
“Oh my…this is a surprise.” Tatiana remarked.
“Pardon, if you don’t mind me asking, Madame President, you seemed to be very knowledgeable about tankery, let alone Oarai?” Aliya asked innocuously. More like she’s interrogating Henna.
“Oh my god, we didn’t know you like tankery. Why didn’t you mention so earlier? Who could’ve thought the student council president is into tankery~?” Umida making her tease.
Anyone in the room could’ve sworn their eyes were gleaming evilly. And somewhat innocent smiles of the three Prussians didn’t helped it.
Sonitusia wrote:"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles," the commander said, her hands on her hips, "And to be honest, I really do have the right to say what I say. Rauschen's line-up isn't like back at home. Your 'weakest link' is either in control of a heavy tank with a formidable gun, or a crew of new friends in a well armed armored car. I'd say those odds are better than almost an entire team of cheap, American export-only vehicles."
Sonitusia wrote:"Anyways, are we done here?" Hermione spoke up, "Time is money you know, and we need a lot of it."

Republic of Hasgriu wrote:"Nazi outfit? Bloody hell, more immigrants from St Elizabeth?" remarked Maya, observing the ruckus, "We want talent, not cosplayers."
"Please don't try to joke around now..." Hanna, less comfortable about the atmosphere, quietly pleaded.
"Mm!" Yekaterina agreed, "Cosplay's a talent too! But more importantly, that's," she gestured towards Hermione, who was evidently attempting to commit homicide in the principal and student council president's presence, "Mionya!"
However, before any of them could speak up, the bespectacled girl finally took notice of her surroundings and promptly skedaddled as far away as possible. Perhaps it was not yet the time to sort out the matter, as the tide of conversation swiftly swept the room's attention to Emma.
Republic of Hasgriu wrote:"Repay for us?" Hanna echoed, seemingly uncomfortable about the proposition.
"Yeah, we're not North Korea, we shouldn't execute everyone else for our problems!" Yekaterina was similarly unhappy.
"Well, we've all got a collective stake in this sensha-dō club now. It's in everyone's interests to keep the club afloat," remarked Maya, somewhat cynical. "This just means we'll have to redeem ourselves through more effort."
"Redemption arc, huh?" mused Yekaterina. "Got it!"
Preferably one not ending in death, Liliya inwardly remarked. Fortunately, there was now a goal for Yekaterina to strive for, so she would hopefully remain committed. Maya would definitely play the redemption card whenever possible to keep Yekaterina on track.
Republic of Hasgriu wrote:"Did you two hear what Adelia just said?" Hanna interjected, seeking to change the subject.
"Yup! Our flag should be heavily armoured, one of our quickest, or a vehicle with the lowest silhouette!" quoted Yekaterina, falling for the bait.
"Lowest silhouette..." Maya muttered, furrowing her eyebrows. She had been ensnared as well. "I've got a bad idea."
"What is it, Mayunya?" Yekaterina's interest was piqued by whatever mad scheme had been concocted.
"Ah, feel free not to say anything, Maya," called Hanna, before softly adding, "I'd actually like it better that way."
"Get the smallest vehicle possible, choose it as flag, and bury it with one trained volunteer a week of supplies," elaborated Maya.
"Eh? Trained for what? And why so long?" Yekaterina peered at Maya, squinting.
"Trained to keep sane in such an environment, and if needed, to scavenge," Maya stated flatly, completely serious.
"Keep sane?!" Hanna yelped incredulously. "This is sounding worse by the second..."
"But the other team isn't going to knock itself out! What's one buried person to do?" Yekaterina was wholly unfazed.
"How much fuel have they? Food? Water? Time?" Maya faced her conversation partner. "Ever heard of cricket?"
Yekaterina tilted her head. "Isn't that English for some kind of insect?"
Hanna took the opportunity to pipe up, "In this case, it's a team sport popular in British Commonwealth countries that can last for as long as five or twelve days. It's good that you knew it was En—"
"Twelve days!?" Yekaterina blanched. "Who'd want to watch that? How would you even survive that long?"
"That's why we pack supplies. We could even try this with the whole team, though maybe to a lesser extreme. Everything could possibly go wrong!" It was becoming increasingly difficult to tell if Maya believed that her own idea was plausible.
"Let's put that aside for now, Maya. Alright?" The more Maya spoke, the more Hanna was dissuaded from the idea.
"I think we shouldn't ever bring this up again," Yekaterina said, still shaken by the length of a cricket test.
"Then we have reached an agreement," concluded Maya, finally revealing her complete lack of faith in her half-hearted proposal.
Republic of Hasgriu wrote:"Eh? Privet?" Yekaterina demonstrated her command, or lack thereof, of the English language.
"Private, Katya. The lowest rank in the army," Hanna again corrected. "It's surprising, though. So young, yet already a soldier?"
"I'm frankly sceptical," whispered Maya, "Frau Pool herself seems doubtful."
"But she's a soldier, Mayunya! A paratrooper, even, like the VDV! She's probably just being humble. Not many other schools have real soldiers with them, right?"
"We managed to find a Starshina to instruct us, so I don't doubt that other schools can find soldiers to help if need be," noted Hanna.
"Frau Pool's certainly more fit than most, if not all of us, and has learnt a whole lot of techniques and skills, but how applicable is the ability to disassemble a rifle blindfolded behind your back in thirty seconds to sensha-dō?" Maya continued.
"For maintenance?" suggested Hanna.
"We won't have to do maintenance if we get knocked out in the first round. A private hasn't got an awful lot of leadership experience," Maya rambled. "We could put that parachuting skill to use, but not in a battle. Maybe in pre-match recon."
All of a sudden, however, Maya interrupted herself, distracted by a particular phrase that she had heard the black-haired Kärkkäinen speak.
Republic of Hasgriu wrote:"Hermione's still rightfully upset, though." Hesitantly, Hanna tacked on, "I think."
"Acceptance is the fifth stage of the Kübler-Ross model, after all," remarked Maya, avoiding the Slavicised pronunciation of the name.
"Eh? Wha?" Unfamiliar with the Germanic name, Yekaterina proceeded to make a royal mess out of it. "Кюбэй-Русс?"
One of Liliya's eyebrows began twitching slightly, Yekaterina's butchering of the Swiss psychiatrist's surname having evoked a less than positive memory of a particular highly-recommended show she had watched some years ago.
"Kübler-Ross. She's known for the five stages of grief." Hanna once more came to the rescue.
Liliya's allergy-esque reaction intensified, though the movements still went unnoticed, with Hanna further stating, "They don't all have to happen in order, though, or even at all. The whole thing is controversial too."

Sonitusia wrote:'Do they think I can't hear them?' Hermione thought, clenching her fists, 'They think I'm in grief?! Where does their logic come from anyways?!'
All that it looked like though was the girl shaking in anger with fumes coming out of her head. It didn't help that the increased breathing of hot air made her glasses foggy.
"Oi oi, that doesn't look to good," Fatimah muttered, followed by Odetta's faint humming and nod of head.
Wolfenium wrote:Henna was reaching boiling point. Her face turning red from the blood rush, the president seemed ready to rail. For the girls to start poking at her for her secret obsession... it proved more grating than they realized. Slamming the table, she finally cracked under pressure.
"Do what you want," she snapped, "just make the money back! If you don't get the money to pay the damages, I'm shutting it down. Three months!"
"Three months," blurted Iveta in panic, "that's too soon. We'll barely be halfway through the tournament-"
*SLAM*
Wolfenium wrote:Watching the door slam, the hapless girls could only watch as the president stormed away. As much as they wanted to believe she had given her consent, the deadline she threw in the heat of argument meant that even if they won the European championships, they would be two or three months too late to meet her demands. It seemed ridiculous, and clearly aimed to get back at them for their teasing. Sighing, Iveta was not sure if they could make it this time. They would need another means of making their money back.
"What should we do..." Iveta asked the girls, as Emma stared on with her usual cheery look, "we're not going to win back the money on time now. And if we can't win back the money, we'd have to shut down the club."
"She's not one to hold back, is she," Avelina went, "what now?"
Sighing at the growing despondence, Emma quipped, "I'm disappointed. Is this the kind of willpower you girls have? If you care about this club so badly, you should fight to keep it alive. She's testing your resolve."
"Resolve," Iveta went, "how so?"
Smirking, the Afrikaner declared, "simple! There's more than one way to earn money, you know! We just need to do it the old fashioned way for the time being~!"
"Old fashioned?..." Iveta said, pausing a moment before it finally hit her, "you mean!?"
Prize money, it seemed, was out of the question. This left just one other alternative...
Wolfenium wrote:Amber Sea Paradise Aquarium, Rauschen, Prussia
Afternoon, 8th September, 2016(Image)
Amber Sea Paradise, Thursday.
Opened in 2004, Amber Sea Paradise was the third aquarium to be built in Prussia, after the Northern Seas Aquarium in Kyonigsberg and the Vistula Aquarium in Tsimerbuda (RL Svetly). With visitor numbers peaking in the summer months, the aquarium had since started winding down for the autumn season. However, with a special weekend event at the nearby promenade approaching, the staff of the aquarium were expected to prepare for the influx of visitors. That meant extra staff, press-ganged by the school to help out at the town for a certain nasty incident.
Cleaning, decorations, feeding the aquatic life... It was probably the only other means the girls could make the deficit for the moment. Anything else would have to come later. For now, all they could do was focus on getting the aquarium back into shape for tomorrow and the weekend, while focusing on their practice in the meantime. Little did they expect that their temp job in the aquarium was not just for show.

The trio were stopped in their tracks, now face to face with who appeared to be their senior. Maryia, being the last, almost knocked them over as she bumped into Alsa and Adelyte. Luckily the athletic girl managed to pull them back to make sure they didn't look like a group of klutzy students who can't even manage to stop correctly.
"Y-Yes we were!" Alsa stuttered, putting on a straight face, "We're planning to join, but can't find another person to join us..."
"She won't be happy without a fourth person," Maryia continued.
"And I thought they say that 'three's a crowd', amiright?" Adelyte chimed in.
The two other freshmen groaned, and then Alsa perked up to greet the student in front of them.
"A-Are you on the tankery club?" she asked, "I'm Alsa, and this is Maryia and Adelyte. Are the tanks cool? Are there any for us? Has anyone else signed up yet but can't find a team and is all by themselves and we can help by having them *deep breath* fill in a spot?"
