And, of course, there's Brigitte. You've seen her once or twice when she wanted you to- just little glimpses here and there, enough to let you know she was there, watching out for you- you'd see her turning a corner or walking out of a room you were headed into. No time to talk, of course, but she's here, which makes you feel somewhat better. You kind of wonder how she'd be handling Stasya and Lilya.

You yawn and stretch, kicking back and laying out on your towel, letting the sun warm your front side. It helps, some- you don't feel quite as tired now. You'd need a month or six of this to really recover, you figure, and part of you wonders how much of that is just normal fatigue and how much of it is the other thing. You don't have the full story yet- Merlin, like you, was unconscious, though, as was usual, nowhere near as close to death as you. Ice isn't here, neither is Slider, and the girls have no idea- they were being examined at the hospital and then interviewed by an intel guy there on Crete.

You sit back up, propping yourself up on your elbows and looking over at them. They're both looking at you. You try a grin- they don't really react.

2/3

You've noticed that- they're carefully distant. They behave, of course, and they listen to you when you on the rare occasions you do tell them to do something, but they seem hesitant about spending too much time around either of you. They're in their room frequently enough that you've had to check on them a couple times- both times you have, they've merely been sitting in there on their beds. You wondered if they'd been talking, though the first time you tried to explain your worry, they'd just given you the same confused looks they usually do when they can't quite figure out what you're on about.

“You both enjoying yourselves?” You ask.

Stasya shrugs. “We are content.” She says.

You grin. “That's not what I asked. Do you want to do something else?”

She looks back at Lilya, who gives her a light, almost imperceptible shrug.

“What would we do?” She asks, turning back to look at you.

[x] Well, you two still need clothes

“Well,” you say, sitting all the way up and looking over at them. “You two still need clothes.”

Staysa tilts her head, and Lilya doesn't react- they're still not sold on needing clothes other than their one sun dress and their flight gear. You haven't told them, yet, that their flight suits will have to be replaced, mostly due to their incompatibility with naval life support gear. The decision to keep them in the air was made at levels above Nixon, who'd delivered the news to you yesterday, though he never told you what they'd be flying, and you haven't asked.

Even their bathing suits are borrowed- single piece, navy blue ones that Longstreet brought with her specifically for them. You'd frowned at the academy insignia on the right breast of each of them, and you suspect there's some play there to get them to the USNA at some point, but so far it seems like the matron's learned her lesson about pushing.

Stasya looks back at lilya, who, though she doesn't say anything, seems to say 'go with it.' She looks back at you and nods. “This sounds good to us.”

You nod, standing up and brushing what little sand is on you off. Merlin looks over and you signal to her she should come on in- she splashes up and walks across the sand. “W-what's up, Frank?”

“We're gonna go clothes shopping for the girls.” you say, indicating the two of them, both of whom are standing, waiting for instructions.

She nods, wrinkling her face. “O-ok, but shouldn't we wait for s-someone like Rachel o-or Kimiko to help?”

Yep, and as usual Ghost jumped ahead leaving us completely in the dark as to what happened.

[x] oh ye of little faith. Allons!

“Oh ye of little faith.” You say, grinning at her. “Allons!”

Merlin gives you a weird look, but shrugs and wraps her towel around her waist, putting her glasses back on.

The four of you head back to the hotel, and up to the suites on the seventh floor, where you've been for the past week or so, now. Merlin heads for the bathroom- she's been using the one off your bedroom almost exclusively, leaving the other to the girls. You indicate to them they should go shower- they both give you that curious look, but head off to do it anyway.

You head into the sitting room, only to find Nixon sitting there, sipping on a mug of something and with the TV on to the ceremony a day or two ago- it's still getting airtime on CNN. Looks like it's the part where the chancellor of Germany was pinning your Iron cross on. He shuts it off as you walk in.

“So how's it feel to be the biggest face in the western world, son?” He asks, with a half smile, thumping a copy of the New York times next to him- the picture on the front is of the president hanging a medal of honor around your neck.

You shrug. “Doesn't feel that different right now, sir.” You say. “Think it hasn't sunk in yet.”

He chuckles. “It will, don't worry. We're damn near going to have to give you your own detachment at the PAO, just to handle media requests.”

“Wonderful.” You respond, dryly. “So I'll have to talk to the press, soon?”

1/2

He shrugs. “Probably, keep in mind the media rules if one of them catches you out and about.”

You nod- you'd been given a short briefing on dealing with the press- most of it involved kicking it up to a higher authority or over to the public affairs office.

He flips the TV back on- it's showing stock pictures, you recognize the one you took on graduation from the academy, before flight school. “They running that shit constantly?” You ask.

“Near enough.” He says. “You've only just edged out the news from Hollywood.”

“Oh?” You ask, taking a seat.

He nods. “Guess the drama on the set of that Dragonriders of Texas movie just isn't as popular as a war hero.” He says. “And you're pretty popular with the ladies, ya know.”

You wince. “Ah hell-”

He laughs. “Don't worry about that one son, the PAO's handling it. So what are you kids planning to do?”

“Getting ready to go get the girls some more clothes, sir.” You respond.

He nods. “Yeah, I can see why. You could just wait till we get you stateside too, you'll probably be at china lake for your retraining.”

[x] Any news on when we're going yet, sir?

“Any news on when we're going yet, sir?” You ask, taking a seat as you hear the showers turn on and Stasya comes out to sit next to you. Nixon looks at her and fishes in a pocket for a second, pulling out a piece of hard candy- butterscotch- and offering it to her. She looks at you, only taking it when you nod.

That done, he nods. “Yeah, actually. Just got a call from the guys building the components for you. They'll want you in by the start of next week, so you'll be flying out of here either tonight or tomorrow, depending on when I can get a plane out here for you all.”

“Sounds good.” You say.

“Anxious to get back to the front?” He asks, grinning.

You shrug. “Still a job to be done, sir.”

“Fair enough.” He says, turning his attention to the TV for a second. “So, son, we were wondering if you'd given any thought to the girl's future.”

“Sir?” You ask.

“Well,” he says, indicating Stasya. “They can't fly forever, even if the pentagon plans to let them back at it if they want to-”

He's interrupted, briefly, by the girl. “We want to fly.” She says, her voice a touch more forceful than you're used to.

He nods. “But that can't go on forever, especially if they decide to stay in the navy.”

“Is this a roundabout way of asking if they want to go to Annapolis?” You ask.

He pauses, then nods again. “Ester figured you'd take it the wrong way if she brought it up.” He says. “You two don't get along, which is a shame. She's one of the biggest patriots I know of, son.”

To ensure Japanx U.S. relations of coarse.

>Ghost was all about the Psychomoto route
Slider route or Bust! An Ice route is fine too. To be honest if he introduced Psychomoto earlier I'd might consider her a contender but this like in the game it would be a waste of what development there has been with any of the main three.

[x] She's got a funny way of showing it, sir.

“She's got a funny way of showing it, sir.” You note, scowling.

He shrugs. “Son, I can't pretend to understand politics, especially witch politics, but She flew for me in south east Asia. I don't doubt for a second she only wants what's best for America.”

While you've got your private reservations about the statement- as you recall, Nixon was a major player in the navy after the revolt of the admirals, and in getting naval aviation the funding it got, helping to turn it into the navy's striking arm. Hell, without him, you'd probably have been air force, so at least you owe him some thanks.

You shake your head. “Sorry sir. She's burned that bridge with us.” You say. “Maybe, if they're interested, VMI or the citadel.”

He shrugs. “Son, it really doesn't matter to me either way. All I wanted to do is make sure you know that they'll have to get an education and proper commission if they want to keep flying after this is over, and-”

He's interrupted, again, by Stasya. “We want to stay with Samantha and Mr. Bishop.” She says.

Nixon gives her a grandfatherly smile. “You will be, don't worry about that sweetie.” He responds. “As long as you're happy here.”

“There's West Point, too.” You point out, a grin creeping onto your face.

Nixon looks aghast. “Army?” He asks. “Son, that's practically grounds for a conduct unbecoming charge!”

1/2

You laugh, and after a second he does too. Stasya stands up a second before you do when you hear the showers turn off- you swear the girls are telepathic. A minute later, Lilya steps out of their room, dressed in that one sun dress- who picked that for them, anyway?- and sits on the couch. Merlin emerges from your room a second later, civilian clothes on, her flight jacket tied around her waist.

“Alright, my turn.” You say, heading back to the room. “You good, sammy?”

Merlin nods, taking a seat next to Lilya. “What about you, Lilya?” you ask. She looks at you and nods.

“'k. Out in a second.”

You take a little longer than that to shower and get cleaned up, shaving and putting on some of the few civilian clothes that were sent for you- in this case, a simple pair of bluejeans and a polo shirt.

Stepping back out into the sitting room, you grab your wallet and your own jacket off the back of a chair.

“Alright son, you getting ready to leave?” Nixon asks- you nod.

“Alright. I'll give a call down to have a car ready. Clothes shopping?” He grins. “Maybe you're better cut out for this than we thought.”

You shrug. “Can't have them wandering around in the same dress all the time. Besides, it's hardly casual. Who the hell grabbed them anyway?”

He laughs. “Lieutenant Johns. Staffer of mine. Good kid, but not a great fashion mogul. Oh well.” He shakes his head. “It is what it is. Just remember to not get too much, I'll see about getting a couple bags up here for their belongings, but if you're going to get them a full wardrobe, at least wait till you're stateside to do it.”

[x] Can do, sir.

You nod. “Can do, sir. We just need enough to get by, not too much.”

“Good.” he says. “Go ahead and head on down, and I'll make that call.”

You nod, motioning to the girls- Samantha is already up and moving- to follow you. They do so without saying anything, surprising no one.

As it happens, the driver downstairs waiting for you is inspector Victoire himself, his professional looking white shirt covered over by the black canvas of a shoulder holster. He nods at you, bowing quite gallantly to the girls- neither of whom respond. He shrugs and grins at this. “so, my friend, where to?” He asks.

You shake your head. “No idea. Never shopped in cannes before.” you say. “where should we go.”

“Ah, shopping. For clothes?” he asks. You nod.

“Well, this is a resort city, yes? It will be expensive to buy anything here. Especially with the film festival due in soon. The place is already crawling with gendarmes and those that wish to be close to famous people without being famous themselves.” He says, thoughtfully. “We could perhaps shop along the water front, but that will be the most expensive and the most crowded. The clothes though, will be the best, I am sure.”

“What else is there? I'm not that rich.” You say, laughing.

“In town, perhaps, up near Campane. It should not be as crowded there, and perhaps we can find a more reasonable store there, things that poor government workers, such as ourselves, can more easily afford.”

Funny, you've posted that picture many times now and I only just now realized how badly it spells intensifies.

Are we still making fun of the Seahawks? I was watching some older stuff on my PVR last night and one of the recordings clipped the last 5 minutes off the previous program which happened to be the evening news on the night before the game. It was this short segment about a zoo, I don't remember which one, who had this tradition of asking all the animals who they thought would win the superbowl. Basically what they would do is take a Seahawks banner and a Patriots banner and place them in the various animal enclosures. They went around to the turtles, the otters, the pandas and so on.

Every single one of them picked the Patriots

[x] yeah... stipends don't got that far, let's head into town.

“Yeah...” you say, looking into your wallet. There's a government card there, one Nixon issued you for 'basic needs' but somehow you don't think designer clothing fits that description. “Yeah, let's head into town, stipends don't go that far.”

He nods, knowingly, leading the way out to the car, parked nearby.

You note that the hotel, up till now, kind of empty, is filling up- you even recognize some of the people from Hollywood. Fortunately, you think, no one gets a real good look at you or any of the girls on the way out- you think you see a double-take, but you're not sure, and the door shuts behind you before anyone can say anything.

The car, a four door sedan, provided by the French, is kind of cramped, but suits well enough- Merlin sits behind you, with Lilya in the middle seat and Stasya behind the inspector, who drives.

1/2

The ride up doesn't take too long- less than twenty minutes, all told. Victoire pulls up outside a medium-sized clothing store- one that's a national chain, instead of one of the small, independent places. Hopefully prices here won't be so outrageous, you think. The place isn't dead, though it's quiet- you only make out a few cars in the lot, maybe about fifteen, and you figure a few of those have to be employees.

Inside, the building is on the cool side, and you don't see too many other people. An employee shoots a quick glance at the inspector, and at his holstered service pistol, and moves to intercept, perhaps wary of trouble. They exchange some French, and he grins, pulling out a badge. The employee nods, and they speak a bit more- the inspector indicates you and the girls during the conversation, and she looks at them for a moment, then nods.

He turns to you. “She says she'll be glad to help us find clothes for them, my friend.” he says. “She's got two little ones of her own, about their age.”

[] We'd be glad for the help, yeah.

“Tell her we'd appreciate it, yeah.” You say, and the inspector translates it. The woman nods, and motions for you to follow- the five of you do, towards the girl's section, where she turns and closes one eye and looks at the girls- who return the look with that stare of mild curiosity they have. She asks the inspector something else, and he turns again to you.

“She wants to know what type of clothes they like.” He says, indicating the girls.

You shrug. “I'm not sure. Girls, what type of clothes do you want to get?” You ask. They both turn to look at you.

“We don't know.” Stasya says. “We've never had clothes like these before.”

“Well,” you say, running a hand back over your scalp. “What do you think? Something like Samantha's clothes?”

Merlin kind of stands there, self-consciously, when the girls look at her.

They turn back to you without saying anything. “Something fancier? You have to give me something to work with.” You say trying a tired grin.

Lilya shrugs and Stasya shakes her head. “We don't know. Whatever you think is best.”

[] This won't stand, make them pick.

>>38141101

You shake your head at her. “Well, if you don't know, why don't we look around some?” You say, making a mental note to not suggest anything. “You girls can't get away with having me make all the decisions all the time!”

They look at each other again, and Stasya looks back at you, confused. “But- is that not what you're supposed to do?” She asks.

“What?” You're not too surprised by the question- you can't imagine they've been given much, if any, personal freedom in the past however long, but you're not sure you're liking this whole robot act they have going on, here. “Not all the decisions, no. You can pick what you want to eat, or what to wear, or even if you want to fly again-”

“We do.” She interrupts you- the first time she's ever done that. She doesn't explain, but there's venom in her words.

You nod. “I'm glad to hear it. But right now, we need to get some clothes for you. Let's look around some, huh?”

They both nod and tentatively set off, wandering through the racks of clothes. Merlin follows along, looking for her own- pausing, you notice, an uncomfortably long period of time in front of a section with some black dresses that look a little too short for your RIO to be wearing.

Thankfully, she's not telepathic.

The girls wind their way slowly through the racks, apparently not seeing anything they care for. Eventually they stop, though, and Lilya reaches out to pick up a simple red dress. She looks back at you, holding it in her hands- there's not much to it, really, though you figure it'd cover about down to her knees, maybe a bit above that. There's not much top to it, a simple tube and a pair of straps.

“You like that one?” You ask- she nods.

“Alright, well, hold onto it, we'll see if Stasya finds anything, and you can keep looking. You need one more outfit, at least, ok?” You say. She nods, the barest hint of a smile playing at the corners of her lips, and keeps looking.

Stasya finds the dress's twin- only hers is a rich blue. She holds it up for inspection, and you nod.

The two of them seem to gravitate towards the jeans next, both grabbing two pairs, after picking up and putting down several. While the advertised cut looks to be tight, they look nice, though you'll probably end up getting a couple pairs of jeans stateside for them, too.

They pick out a couple pairs of T-shirts, nothing fancy, mostly simple, solid colors. You nod as they hold them up for your ok- they can pick, but you still have to pay, after all.

You have them grab some skivvies- you're pretty sure, other than what they were wearing, they only had a few pairs of hastily-acquired, navy issue ones, and you know the stuff you got, you replaced pretty quickly. You wince when they both gravitate towards silk, though you can't say you blame them- the shit does feel good. Besides, you're not paying.

You pay for the clothes, and have them both carry their own bags- each ends up with about three outfits, all told. Enough to scrape by until you get stateside, at least.

“Where to now, my friend?” Victoire asks, as you pile into the car.

“Food, I think.” You say, then nod. “Yeah, food.”

“Do you want to go back to the hotel?” He asks, looking back at the girls. “Perhaps allow them to change into their new clothes and wear them out?”

[x] “Girls? Do you want to do that?”

You look back to the back seat. Both the girls have their bags on their laps, hands folded across the tops of them. “Girls, you want to do that? Go back to the hotel and change, then go out to eat?”

Stasya looks at Lilya- who nods. “All right then.” you say. “Yeah, back to the hotel, inspector.”

The hotel lobby is more full than you remember- you wonder who's staying here to warrant all the attention. Again, a few looks are shot your way- you think you see more than one person reaching for a notepad or a camera- but the inspector, joined by a uniformed colleague, get you to the elevators and close them, right as a reporter starts rushing towards the doors.

The suite is empty, which allows you to tell the girls to go change into what they want to wear, while you take a seat on the couch. You're joined by Merlin, who sits nearby.

“Whatcha think, kiddo?” You ask, resisting the urge to turn on the TV. She shrugs.

“I h-hope they don't get too fancy. I'll have t-to change if they do.” She says, making you laugh.

“Well, if they do, it won't be too bad. You excited?”

She nods. “Y-yeah. I'm glad you l-listened to me.” She says.

“I usually do, when it comes to tech.” You point out. She shakes her head.

“T-this time was different.” She says. “I know that a lot o-of them didn't like it. It s-scares them.”

You nod- in a couple cases, you think that's right.

“B-but machines can o-only do what we make them to do.” She says. “And t-they let us do things we couldn't w-without them. It's j-just prejudice that makes them say t-those things. They're s-scared of technology. T-they don't think like us.”

“What do ya mean, Sam?” You ask.

The sad fact is, if this were a blackjack thread, he'd have only posted a total of two times by now

She shakes her head. “W-witches don't learn about m-machines and technology the s-same as us. T-they learn about magic and things like that. T-the most complex t-thing ever built were t-the strikers they had, b-before I built those two prototypes.” She says. “T-they learn how to use magic in place of technology, n-not how to use them t-to compliment each other.”

“Like you do?” You ask.

She nods. “I-I'm not a witch. Not like t-that.” She says. “I-I need you and the fighter to fly a-and do anything. T-technology isn't s-something to be beat, i-it's my friend. It lets me d-do things I couldn't do.”

She's interrupted when the girls come out of their room- both, apparently, have decided to wear their dresses. They sit down next to you- closer than they usually do, if not by much. “Guess we'll need to go change, Sam.” You say, standing up and turning back to look at them. “You two be ok in here while we change?”

They both nod.

You change into something a bit nicer quickly, swapping to a slightly nicer polo shirt- the only other one in the closet- you step back out into the sitting room. Merlin joins you a second later, having changed into a nicer T-shirt. Her leather jacket now rests on her shoulders.

2/3 (oops)

You head back out into the hall, where the inspector greets you. “Ah, your girls, they are visions of loveliness.” He says, looking at the two of them- and still getting no response. He grins and shrugs again. “So where to, my friend?” He asks. “There are many places to eat, but with so many celebrities in town, I am not sure about finding one that will remain quiet. The waterfront has the best restaurants, and I know that area the best.”

“Think you can find a quiet one there?” you ask.

He shrugs. “Maybe? I am not sure, though I can try. The other option is to head into the north, as we did earlier, and attempt to find something there, though anything we find won't be as nice as anything here along the beach.”

I feel like it's gotten worse. Aside from in the aircraft, but that goes without saying.
