Islington Periphery Space Islington Station Logrunn's Bar & Grill. 3153 (or whenever this goes down I forgor) 17:22 Shipboard Time

Despite all the activity the recent flurry of activity the station was seeing from mercenaries and military forces gathering one bar was still fairly quiet. It was a place that seemed content with that as the decor was simple and spartan. The lights dampened and with sound barriers to make sure the noise was contained.

On a table in the walkway outside of it. Asuka sat by a table on her own. Eating from a plate of kebab and fries that was likely far too much salt and fat than a person should ingest. But it hit the spot today. While enjoying that she was looking at a datapad of a Solaris recording. Something that wasn't work. It made her feel happy. She looked up from the datapad for a moment to look around the station coming to life as the nightlife, as much of one you could have out here and on a space station, was coming to life.

(Since our Star Colonel is busy, I thought we could for lack of better terms, kill some time and get to know folks who will soon be risking life and limb fighting zealots. Open to anyone who wants to get to know some of my people before the big drop)

Clustered around the docking berth to one of Barghest Company’s two dropships, but not in the way of the stream of crew, techs, and other personnel, Lt . Victoria Everheart watched the munitions and supply carts go by to be loaded not only into the Leopard Class dropship “Dando”, but also into her mech, an Axman dubbed “Queen of Hearts”. The 6 foot muscled Mechwarrior wouldn’t normally have stood out, we’re it not for the cat ears, tail and eyes she possessed, and tattoos on prominent display garbed as she was in tank top and compact pants and boots.

Around her sat or stood the two other members of her lance, as well as possibly the largest black German Shepard ever seen in the inner sphere.

Major Vance Strider, a gaunt, bald man sits on a crate beside her, seemingly mumbling or speaking at himself with closed eyes, in meditation or contemplation.

“This is gonna be one hell of a drop, huh?” Said Major Anya Corwin, a buxom woman on the shorter side with curly red hair. As if in response, the large dog she is petting and giving skritches to chuffs a bit.

Victoria snorts. “Thanks for the input, Loki.” She stretches, rolling well sculpted shoulders. “But yeah, looks that way…can’t say I’ve seen this many people in one place since well, the last war.”

“Hope it all goes well…or as well as can be expected…” Anya chips in.

“Yeah, same.” Victoria agrees.

As if in agreement once again, the dog Loki huffs again.

Melissa, in her SLDF dress uniform, walks into the bar of the Unity City Grande, alongside Karrie DeLacey ( @karriethemechtech ). The Steiner siblings notice an immediate commotion, as every SLDF soldier in the bar stands instantly to attention, until Melissa salutes the officer nearest her, and says, "at ease." Melissa shakes her head in amusement as the two newcomers walk over to Theodora and Dieter at the bar. "We are here," Melissa says to the two Steiners... or possibly, former Steiners.

As Melissa draws near, Theodora stand, offering a handshake. She's wearing her LCAF uniform, but with any patches and insignias removed. Without it all, the uniform looks empty. Nothing more than a cobalt tunic and white pants, with empty rank epaulettes on the shoulders.

"Greetings, Melissa. It's good to see you."

Dieter, however, merely nods, eyes fixed on Melissa's new rank. He's obviously distressed, but he's trying to hide it. After a moment, he snaps out of it, looking to Karrie.

"And you'll be Ms. DeLacey, I suppose?"

I’ve been reading through all the TROs I can in prep for the landing action on Helios. I’ll be later with the General’s SLDF cadre, but for now I have warnings for the landing force:

The WoB are fond of three things: PPCs, Plasma, and C3i. If you’re not prepared when they bring them out, they’re gonna eat you alive.

PPCs: mind that they may have snub-noses PPCs shoved in places you don’t expect. Those mechs will want to be close to you! Also be careful of their fondness for IS Heavy PPCs. While they don’t have the range of a cERPPC they maintain every bit as much headchopping power.

Plasma: Plasma rifles would be scary if they were only ammo-fed PPCs, but unfortunately they’re worse. Plasma rifles have the nasty side effect of causing heat bleed into the target’s systems—basically, if anything on your mech is prone to overheating expect it to be twice as bad. My suggestion: remember that gauss runs cool and punching mechs generates no heat at all. Other than that be choosier with your shot placement if you see any of these around.

C3i: This right here is probably the killer they have. Hell, I’d be afraid of mechs throwing rocks with a C3i net. Unlike a traditional C3 net, there’s no centralized node, so ECM’s only gonna have limited effect. Every level ii of mechs will probably be linked! If they get close to you and can send close-in data to someone up on the hill with a longer ranged weapon, expect lights out.

Tl;Dr: WoBbies bring equipment that’s designed to make you worse at your job and less sure of how to do it. Keep your eyes on the prize and don’t forget to smile! Might be the biggest battle of your lives.

@lt-chari @the-tired-merc @starcolonelkatrinamoon @wolf-among-mechs @harwood-pmc-official @msn-04iinightingale @the-clawtake @snords-sword Stay safe gang. We’ll be there soon.

I find it interesting how different Kate reacts in concern of them seeing her underwear in Jude's and Ellis' premium ends of the current story event (VILLAIN'S NIGHT)

Nsfw-ish content under the cut

Jude's end is way more crude and sexual and while Jude is dangerous af, Kate cannot say no as long as she wants/likes what Jude's doing to her (thanks to William using his ability on her, ordering her to 'act on her desires'). So anyway, Kate turned up at the place where Jude is (an illegal gambling den) with a little something in her pocket which is a buttplug in the form of a cat tail (courtesy of Alfons, who else lol) and Jude wants her to use it on herself (I believe though that she didn't use it in her butt because no prep and everything). While doing that, Kate is just like 'please don't see my underwear'

And then we have Ellis. Ellis' end has more of a wholesome and cute atmosphere. Because Ellis wants everyone to be happy, he was worried about the other crown members being unhappy while under the influence of the full moon, so Kate suggested they find a way to solve or at least surpress the effects. They ended up at the palace garden where special flowers bloom and apparently, they have to do with the sins growing stronger, and so Ellis collapses. Of course, Kate wants to get help but because Ellis' sin is restraint (which she doesn't know btw), he clings to her and doesn't want her to leave him alone. And well, Kate actually enjoys Ellis acting selfish for once, so she just goes along with his whims and they make out in the palace garden. I mean, she even tried the trick of 'that doesn't make me happy' and yet, Ellis asked if they could continue. Anyway, Ellis holds her wrists and starts kissing down her neck, sliding off her blouse and pushing down her underwear and Kate DIDN'T EVEN FLINCH. Oh, and she found out what his sin is WHILE making out.

So, what I wanted to point out before I slightly derailed with Ellis' end (I love that man a bit too much, what can I do?), how Kate went from 'please don't see my underwear' in Jude's end to 'doesn't even flinch' in Ellis' end. As an Ellis simp, it was so satisfying to see how much she actually trusts Ellis and how comfortable she is with him.

Alfons Sylvatica

Story Event: Black Wedding. A false vow to a dark bride.

Chapter 1

As per usual, it's a quick translation hence mistakes are likely.

~~Part 1~~

Alfons Sylvatica was wicked and insincere, nightmare of a guy.

Even nowadays, he would still confuse me and drive me crazy.

Alfons: "I'm bored. Would you like to get married, little miss Robin?"

Kate&Elbert: "....."

Temporarily rendered speechless, we sat in silence gently rocked by a carriage on our way home from a mission.

Kate: "Huh?"

Elbert: "....?"

Alfons: "Hello, didn't you hear me? I said let's get married, Kate."

(I guess hearing it twice invalidated the possibility of it being just a figment of my imagination)

Kate: "... what do you mean by that?"

Alfons: "Look, lately the Crown has been busier than ever, right?"

Alfons: "As a result, nobody wants to play with me. I'm feeling bored, so bored in fact I feel like I'm going to die."

Elbert: "...do you have a condition that kills you if you're bored?"

Alfons: "Yeah, it's very serious."

(Once again with his inappropriate comments)

Kate: "I'm not asking you why you're bored, I'm asking you why you want to get married."

Alfons: "Oh, pardon me. The reason I offered to marry you一"

~~Part 2~~

Alfons: "Oops, it looks like we've just arrived. Time's up, what a shame."

Alfons: "Your next step, visiting the Queen's aide. That's it for me, bye."

Kate: "Wait a minute, Alfons!"

Fluttering his wet coat like raven's wings,

he disappeared in an instant.

Kate: "... it's way too early for you to run away."

Elbert: "...? I'm not sure what's going on.."

Elbert: "... but good luck."

~~~

To solve the mystery of Alfons' words, I had to rely on Victor.

Victor: "Ahaha, jeez he's so irresponsible, and cute."

While laughing cheerfully, he proceeded with an explanation.

Victor: "Recently, there have been several incidents in which lovers went missing."

Kate: "Disappearances... Do you think―"

Victor: "Yes, we suspect they're being murdered."

While pursuing the truth, William and Victor came across a group called "Amour".

Couples that approached them, lured by the promise of "eternal love", were their target.

There was no doubt of the group's involvement in the murders themselves.

Victor: "It's highly likely that the person orchestrating the killings is the so-called "guru" of the organization."

Victor: "At least that's what we're trying to determine. Until now, we haven't been able to secure any convictions…"

(It looks like Victor and William haven't been able to reach that person)

Kate: "Any reason why you can't get in touch with the leader?"

~~Part 3~~

Victor: "The group only deals with couples that are in love with each other."

Victor: "They say they are performing a ritual, in the form of a 'wedding', to ensure the couple's eternal love."

Victor: "Apparently, the founder who seems to be at the root of the evil, only shows his face there."

I finally understood why Alfons came up with the idea of getting married.

Kate: "In other words, one needs to infiltrate the organization, be recognized as a lover, and have a wedding ceremony."

Kate: "The mission's aim then is to capture the "guru" when he shows up, right?"

Alfons: "Impressive! There's your answer, Kate! You're so very smart."

Kate: "Whoa, Alfons!?"

Victor: "Hey Alfons. I asked you to knock before you enter, didn't I?"

Alfons: "How disrespectful of me. I carelessly forgone my good manners."

Alfons: "Anyway, sticking out as the one who's free in the ever busy Crown..."

Alfons: "I'm the only one who could play the 'lover'. Hence, the 'marriage' offer, yes?"

Victor: "What do you think, Kate? Will you accept this mission?"

Alfons: "Indeed, what are you going to do?"

~~Part 4~~

Victor: "What do you think, Kate? Will you accept this mission?"

Alfons: "Indeed, what are you going to do?"

His teasing gaze was tinged with a hint of challenge, which made me instinctively blurt out my answer.

Kate: "Fine. I'll accept this job as part of my duties."

Alfons: "heh, what a spirited response. Then-"

Alfons: "Let's keep this enthusiasm going, isn't that right, Kate?"

~~~

A few hours later, we managed to infiltrate the church, which constituted the base of operations of Amour.

-as 'lovers', of course.

Alfons: "We met on the corner of the street. "

Alfons: "The moment we passed each other, we knew we were meant to be together! Isn't that right, Kate?

Kate: "Y-yes! That spark."

Alfons: "It didn't take us long to fall in love."

(He always has such a suspicious aura....)

(He's the right person in situations like this where one needs to deceive others)

The believers dressed in pure white listened to Alfons tell the story of our fabricated love.

Believer: "I understand that you want to achieve eternal love."

Believer: "However, unless you convince us that your feelings for each other are genuine, we cannot hold the ceremony."

(....there it is!)

There was 'something' we could do to persuade them we were a couple truly in love with each other.

(There is a high probability that we will be asked details about each of us)

(....no matter what we're doing here, even if we're pretending, we have to answer correctly)

Kate: "Then, what can we do to convince you?"

~~Part 5~~

Kate: "Then, what can we do to convince you?"

Believer: "A loving kiss would be a good start."

Kate: ".......ki."

Alfons: "If that's all you want, we're happy to oblige."

He wrapped an arm around my waist in a familiar gesture and lifted my chin with his index finger.

(....!)

Alfons: "A kiss with an audience is exciting, isn't it Kate?"

Alfons: "I'll make your knees go weak... now open your mouth."

(open your mouth!?)

His lips gradually came closer-

Kate: "Wait! O-one moment, please....!"

Kate: "Ah..."

Alfons: "....oh dear."

~~~

Alfons: "Thanks to certain someone, we're still on good terms with them and can continue our task."

Kate: "...I'm really sorry."

Alfons: "The lie that my lover was terribly shy has thankfully misled them."

Kate: "...really, really sorry."

Alfons: "And so you should. It was in bad taste to refuse my kiss. Poor me."

Kate: "Shhh, the believers might hear you..."

Our 'loving kiss' fiasco left us under suspicion.

We ended up doing voluntary work until the followers would deem us trustworthy.

Our task was to wrap sweets that would later be sent to the bazaar.

(I have to act like a lover at least a little to make up for it)

Alfons: "Though I wonder..."

Kate: ".....?"

Alfons: "Why would anyone care about a wedding like that?"

[house-steiner-stays-winning]

You hear three light knocks on the door to your quarters.

You ignore it at first—it’s been a long day, what with the ceremonies, and moving things up to the JumpShip. But they come again. Four knocks this time, harder than before, and begrudgingly you open the door.

“Hi Theodora!” Karrie exclaims. She’s standing there, blond hair a mess, in a greasy maintenance jumpsuit pulled down as pants for a plain white tank top. “Er, Major. Sorry about that. Oh, and sorry if I woke you or anything, I couldn’t sleep so I got bored and started tinkering, and then I got hungry and started cooking since the mess is closed, and then…” she trails off absent-mindedly.

Her eyes drift downwards to the plate of food she’s holding. “Oh! Right. Sorry, all this was to say I made some pancakes and I was looking to share. Do they do pancakes in the Lyran Commonwealth?”

—( @karriethemechtech )

"Please, come in. And Theodora's fine. I've only been a major for one day, and besides that, I've never been one for titles. And yes, we have Pancakes, though we call them Pfannkuchen, and I've found that outside the Commonwealth, they're far fluffier."

She walks further into the quarters- provided by Star League now that she's an officer. (though Dieter is still stuck in the hotel)

As she walks, she gestures to the small kitchenette. "You can set them in there, or if you like we can just eat them in the sitting room. I'm just watching an old action flatvid. I, uh, I'm a bit of a collector." From the way she says it, you can tell that 'a bit' is an overstatement.

I. AM. SCREECHING.

(in a good way)

Has anyone else read Sariel's route in the "Sweet Discipline" story event going on right now?

Putting aside the fact that he's not utilizing the punishment/reward psychology properly (remember: this is Cybird, and they only do 'fun-ishments' because that's what the majority of readers thinks is sexier. Sigh.), this was the peek into Sariel and MC's interior life that I was CRAVING.

Listen. I know he's not the best role model for a Dom. But he's not bad. Not bad at all. But he's the closest Cybird has ever given us for being a true Dom.

I don't want to turn this post into a thesis on where Sariel gets it right, and where he goes wrong. Maybe save that for another post. This post is about the story event moments that I squeed out loud.

Screenshots under the cut.

Here is a scene where he suggests a little training for MC.

Was the whip necessary to the plot?

No.

But was it necessary for us thirsty readers?

YES.

She's such a good girl. I adore how SERIOUSLY she's taking this.

Had I been in her place? I would have had trouble keeping both feet on the ground because I'd be dancing around with glee.
