[2/2]

That’s the last time you’re going to do that.

At least you aren’t hot now, but now you’re shivering, wet, and you’re without clothes. You look over your summer uniform: Blazer, button down shirt, tie, skirt, sweatervest (optional), and nice black thigh highs. You should convince Kitten to wear those, you’re sure she’d look cute with stockings or something.

Then again, you’re going to fucking MELT in your Fall/Winter uniform. This Academyship has not seen a hotter day since Midway. Of course you could wear your much less straining Spring/Summer uniform, which only consists of the shirt, tie, and comes with a lighter sweatervest and a lighter skirt. That might get you into trouble with the Hall Monitors though.

Then again, any girl who’s actually smart would prefer comfort over form. Pretty much like picking a tank over a car, of course you’re gonna take the tank because the car sucks in comparison.

Wait a second, that analogy doesn’t work.

Does it?

Whatever, just fucking pick something.

We have enough trouble with the damn hall monitors already...

> Fall/Winter Uniform. Professional but it’s so fucking hot out.

Meh, soldier on.

You put on the Fall/Winter Uniform on slowly, dreading every inch of insulation. Now that you think about it, the school does have air conditioning. If you’re lucky, it’ll be so cold that you’ll run into Morgan Freeman narrating a documentary about penguins.

Knocks at the door come. “President!” It’s Nancy, who sounds exhausted. “You ready to go?”

“Yeah!” you say back. You get your stuff together and march on over to the door. When you open it up, you see your staff, looking like they just crossed the Sahara desert and that one other desert from Uncharted 3.

And this is before you get to school.

Lisa wipes some sweat off her brow and says, “Hey, Boss.” You quickly note that she’s actually been bold enough to wear her Spring/Summer Uniform. “Feeling the heat?” she asks.

“Pssh. Please, I’m from the South. Heat like this comes naturally.”

Nancy says, “I thought you were from D.C.”

“It’s still technically the South.”

Lisa shrugs. “Well, hopefully this heat isn’t because the South is rising again. Let’s get to school.” You all mutter agreements and head down to the street.

Nancy says, “Why is it so hot anyway? I thought Academyships didn’t have these kinds of problems.”

Lisa says, “We’re probably near the equator or something. You know how it is, line with the most direct contact with the Sun.”

You say, “I’m not looking forward to Tank practice then.” The hot cramped interior, combined with this kind of weather, you’re going to bake like a cookie. “We don’t have tank practice today do we?”

Nancy shakes her head. “Nah, I only scheduled it for Tuesdays and Thursdays. Unless you want to make changes.”

> Note: You can make changes to the training schedule at any time. However, training for days straight will eventually start wearing down morale. Think carefully.

Lisa looks as if she suddenly realizes something. “Oh yeah, Boss. I put out an ad for the BT-42 last night, and I got an email today from Walter Christie Tech. Say they want to buy it. Want to check out their email?”

> Check it out.
> Another time.
> Other

Why would wearing the Summer uniform annoy the Irish notSodokos? It's still the uniform, and not something else.
Like our birthday outfit. I wonder how dangerous it would be to do tanking in that.

“Show me.”

Lisa pulls out her smartphone then shows you the email.

FROM: Walter Christie Polytechnical Institute Tankery Program

Greetings from Walter Christie’s own Tankery Program! We noticed that you had a very rare tank for sale, the BT-42. We acknowledge that the BT-42 may not be the best tank, but we here at Walter Christie celebrate engineering and ingenuity from all walks of life, tanks included.

We’d like to offer you 20,000 Dollars for the tank. However, my treasurer advises not to spend too much money, so we’re also offering you a different option.

Our Tankery Unlimited Program happens to have a couple of spare tanks that they’ve retired. One of these is a Sturmpanzer IV Series I, which is unmodified, but unfortunately has fallen into a bit of disrepair. I’m sure a budding new program such as yourself needs new tanks, but I’ll ultimately leave it to you.


“So Boss,” says Lisa. “What do you think?”

> The money
> The Sturmpanzer IV
> Leave it

>>28178470
...

Did we roll a crit for that?

>>28178470
>The money
It's like trading a useless tank for another useless tank.
I'd rather keep the money so we can spend it on like getting our tanks to comp spec.

>>28178470

Sweet Zombie Jesus.

That is a ridiculously good deal.

>>28178470
> The money
Let's get a good tank we want instead of a bad tank or a good tank we might not want.

>>28178470
Show me
> The money

That pretty much covers the cost of the SU-122 and then some. I feel like taking the offer.

>>28178470
Money, we don't need another money sink.

And meta looking at the tank it's trading shit for shit.

>>28178470
> Leave it

For now. 20k is nothing compared to the rareness of the BT42.

>>28178470
> The money

>>28178470
>The money
Tankery doesn't need arties.

>>28178497
Hell no, wait until next week to see if there are better tanks for sale.

>>28178532
I don't think we're going to get a much better offer. The money we've been throwing around is...weird.

>>28178470
> Leave it.

Shouldn't we wait a bit to see if there are better offers guys?

>>28178568
We are going to get a better offer. 20k is literally nothing. Just look at the prices we have to pay.

>>28178470
> Leave it

> The money

“I’ll take the money, thank you very much.”

> + 20,000 DOLLARS

Lisa nods. “Alright then.” She quickly types up a response to the email. “Say, is Kitten not coming today?”

You shake your head. “She’d melt like a witch.”

Nancy sighs. “It’s still so hot though, why are you wearing your summer uniform Lisa?”

“You just answered the question,” says Lisa.

“But what if you get ticketed by the Hall Monitors?”

She shrugs. “I’ll pay it myself. Besides, in this heat, I guarantee that at least 50% of the student body is doing the same thing I am. Including the Hall Monitors.”

Nancy looks over at you, giving up on Lisa for now. “So, President, anything you want to get done after school?”

“Let’s find that last tank, the Superheavy or whatever it’s called.”

Nancy nods. “I’ll try to have dinner prepared. We might be down there awhile.”

Lisa nods. “Nancy’s right. Those Blocks are a maze if you’re not a Naval Studies Student.”

Ramirez says, “We could get lost.” Lisa nods, pointing at Ramirez for her confirmation.

You wave them off. “Ah, girls, you’re overthinking it. Yeah, we might get lost, but it’s not like we’re going to starve to death.”

Lisa nods incredibly slowly. “… Riiiiight.”

The four of you make it to school, and just Lisa predicted, there are a fair number of students in Spring/Summer Uniforms to students wearing their Fall/Winter Uniforms, and even a couple of students in the Gym uniforms.

Gym uniform, why didn’t you think of that? That’s not technically out of uniform.

“Oi, you.” Well well, if it ain’t Officer O’Hara clad in her Fall/Winter Uniform sweating bullets. She quickly pulls out a notepad of tickets, writes down on it quickly, then slaps it on Lisa’s chest. “Ticket.”

Lisa exclaims, “What?! But you’re a trainee! You can’t give tickets!”

O’Hara holds up her badge with an indifferent expression. She apparently is too heat-exhausted to be angry today. “I was promoted. Now either pay the ticket or serve two hours of non-continuous detention. Your choice.”

Lisa crosses her arms, scoffing. She did say she’d pay it herself. But then again, she is your treasurer.

>>28178995
This. Try to spin it so that we mean it both ways.

> Let her pay.

Lisa says, “Fine. I’ll pay. You take cash or credit?”

O’Hara quickly takes Lisa’s credit card, scans it with her smartphone (there’s an app for everything.) then hands it back. “Right, you’re free to go. Don’t do it again.”

You say, “Oh come on, O’Hara, it’s hot. Half the people here are dressed like Lisa anyway.”

O’Hara places her hands on her hips in a power pose. “Rules are rules. We Hall Monitors have to enforce them, and the rules state that-”

O’Bannon walks over, clad in her Spring/Summer uniform. “Whassup, O’Hara. Ticketing people for their uniforms?”

O’Hara looks over, pissed. “O’BANNON YOU CUNT! I’m trying to make an example here and you’ve gone done and ruined it you bogtrotting hillbilly northerner!”

O’Bannon furrows her brow. “Hey! I’m not a northerner you cheeky little cunt. I just happen to prefer comfort over looks.”

“Well, Cunt Van Dyke, I’m sure comfort is a real fine thing, especially in Pinkerton’s dorm.”

O’Bannon points her collapsed collapsible baton at O’Hara. “Now listen here, don’t you eat my head off and call me a dyke just because me and Pinkerton are friends. Compared to you and little precocious crush on-“

O’Hara suddenly turns red, and not from the heat. “NO! YOU SHUT UP YOU CUNT! SHUT THE FUCK UP!”

>>28179042
>no, please go on.

>>28179079
We use our leadership and charisma of course.

>>28179091
Because running around and ticketing everyone takes time?

I actually LIKE O'Hara. She comes across as a good (but hard) cop. Yeah, she'll bust your ass in a second, but only when you break the rules and not because someone paid her to. Let's get on her good side.

Of course, being friendly with her won't stop her from ticketing us in the future. But it'll help having a straight cop that knows we're being fucked with.

>>28179057
>>28179097
Let's do it.

>>28179108
Yeah, I was the guy who said we needed a straight cop to follow us around.

I think we could get her to do it.

“Wait, hold on, you two-“

“IRENE YOU CUNT!” O’Hara stomps her foot on the ground. “You swore you wouldn’t say anything!”

“Girls,” you try to interject.

O’Bannon says, “That was your first mistake, O’Hara. You trusted an Irish cop.”

“YOU CUNT EATING SPAWN OF A ROYALIST SHEEP! I SWEAR IF YOU-“

“Hey!” you shout. The two of you glare at you. You sigh, raising your hands up defensively. “Uh, just, calm down. Okay? I mean, I’m sure O’Hara wants the identity of whoever she fancies to be on the down low. Especially since we’re on Lafayette Girls Academy.”

O’Bannon shrugs, crossing her arms. “Fine, I don’t give a shite.” She looks over at O’Hara. “Next time you act the maggot with me and Pinkerton, I’ll eat your head off and let the rest of the force know, you follow me?” O’Hara puffs her cheeks, still blushing like mad. She slowly nods. O’Bannon quickly changes into a more happier mood. “Brilliant! I gotta get on my beat.”

O’Bannon leaves, leaving you with O’Hara and your staff.

“Feeling better, O’Hara?”

O’Hara crosses her arms, glaring at you. “Whatever, O’Bannon’s a fecking moron anyway. Don’t you believe her about anything regarding a crush, because I don’t have one.”

You shrug, smiling either out of awkwardness or out of O’Hara’s strange sense of charm. “Hey, I won’t tell a soul if you-“

“I DON’T!”

“Okay then.”

O’Hara scoffs. “Anyway, you guys should get to class, else I’ll ticket the lot of you for tardiness you little shites.” She begins walking away, then turns around, “And for the record, I’m not gay!”

Ramirez says, “Nobody said you were.”

O’Hara suddenly blushes even harder, then turns around and runs, screaming.

Welp, time for Math.

The minute you step inside the building, you feel like you’ve reached heaven. The air-conditioning actually works. Thank god, and it’s even at the right temperature too. Whoever’s policing the thermostat has their shit together.

You sit down. Funnily enough, you actually pay attention in this class. Today’s topic was factoring.

And that’s about everything you picked up.

Chemistry too you actually feel lively enough to not sleep through but unfortunately your attention span is only so well-made and the only thing you’ve picked up is that you shouldn’t make napalm in class. Lord knows, that Professor isn’t going to do that again.

English class as well rolls by pretty smoothly. Except with the conspicuous absence of Michelle DeWitt. Wonder where she is?

“Hey, Professor, where’s DeWitt?”

The Professor looks up from his attendance board. “DeWitt called in sick today. Said she might have the flu or something. Don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll be ready for your presentation on Monday.”

You nod. That solves that issue.

The rest of English class rolls by without much incident. You read off Le Mort D’Arthur in the Textbook, surprisingly awake as the rest of your class turns English into nap time.

ALARM

Time for lunch. You head to the Cafeteria and as you walk in, you catch the scent of some fried chicken. Aw yiss. You pick up as much chicken as you can muster then quickly find your usual table with your staff. You sit next to Nancy across from Lisa and Ramirez.

“Oh, it’s going great! Never felt more awake for some reason.”

Lisa says, “Probably the air-conditioning. Something about nice cool air really wakes you up.”

You nod, digging into your chicken and speaking in between bites. “I concur with that, Lisa. Though, I have to say, I really am kinda sad that we will have to leave this building in favor of going below deck.”

Nancy nods. “What do you think is down there? Well, besides the tank of course.”

Ramirez says, “Naval Studies kids?”

You shrug. “You’re not wrong, Ramirez. Though, I hear Naval Studies kids get single rooms, compared to the freshmen who have to get doubles.”

Lisa snickers. “Oh, boy, I remember bunking with Ramirez. Quietest year of my life.” Ramirez simply shrugs, eating in favor of speaking. “Who’d you bunk with, Boss?”

“Kitten, of course,” you explain. “Nothing really changed honestly speaking, I was over at her house enough that her parents made dinner ready for me.”

Lisa nods and looks over at Nancy. “What about you, Nancy?”

Nancy blushes, avoiding eye contact. “Uh… Well…”

“Nancy, go on. We’re all friends here.”

Nancy looks around, and then edges her face in closer, and all of you scoot in close as well. Looks like this is gonna be a real secret.

“Well,” she says, “my roommate was a bit of uh…” She seems to struggle over the right word. She groans, she hisses, then finally she says, “she was a fan of anime.”

Lisa looks confused. “… a weeaboo?”

“Is that the word for it? Is it insulting?”

“Yes.”

“Then I won’t call her a weeaboo. But… it was a very stressful year.”

You raise an eyebrow. “How so?”

“She kept speaking in very broken Japanese to me, she never washed that fake pink hair of hers, she always called me ‘Nancy-chan’, and worse…” Nancy sighs, an uncharacteristic expression of exasperation on her face, “… she’d watch anime porn without her headphones on.”

Well, this got awkward real quick.

>Eat then go to PE
Damn.

> Eat then go to PE

Well, that’s definitely not worth discussing in depth.

You quickly eat up the rest of that fried chicken, then when the alarm for PE comes, you bid farewell to them. Time for PE in a nice air-conditioned gym-

“Time for swimming!” says the Coach.

Are you fucking serious.

Well, you suppose it can’t be worse than running outside, at least you’re in some water.

You quickly don the school issue one piece and line up outside with the rest of the students. Now that you think about it, going to the pool every now and again wouldn’t hurt. Hell, maybe it’d be a chance to teach Kitten how to swim.

“Bidwell, present, Bolter,” the Coach looks up from her attendance sheet. You look down the line. “Bolter, absent.”

Strange.

Welp, time for swimming.

It does but it's kind of a stopgap measure to ensure the 2 pounder gun can actually do some damage against tanks.

Not saying we upgrade now, focus on bringing everything to comp specs first but what do you guys think in terms of upgrades?

Another Assault gun is good just that the fact crew has to move their tank just to aim kind of bothers me.

Stug for me, but recover the super heavy first.
And only start the conversion when we have another armored recovery vehicle, or when the League does it for us for free during the tourney.

And if we get the 6pdr, we won't be able to use the LJ adaptor anymore.

>>28180161

We should ask Ramirez later if Octavia Carius attended Theatre Tech class, or if she was absent too.
Ask Kitten as well if Wendy Kniep dropped by expecting the door to be reparied again.

>>28180197

The PzIII is the only other thing I know we could convert it too and we already have a light scout. We need more gun.

>>28180205
I considered using the Goliath as part of an opposing team but I decided better of it because:

A. It explodes.
B. It doesn't have a crew.

And as much as I wanted them, Teletanks also kinda fall under the same rule. No crew, doesn't count.

>>28180252
But they are remote controlled, so they technically have a crew

HAHA, TIME FOR WATER POLO

You set yourself up with a team of relatively competent students. As usual, they all elect as you as the leader. Thankfully though, you actually know something about Water polo, it’s basically kind of like handball or rugby, except you’re in a swimming pool.

You ask them, “So what’s the plan?”

That same student from last time says, “We assumed you had one.”

… Great.

So what’s the plan?

Nuts to it. They don’t have Bolter, there’s no way you could possibly lose.

You score goal after goal on them, advancing and swimming on their goal like some kind of mean fish that eats other fish. You tire of course, but with no athlete to carry their team, the opposing team is pretty much finished.

“Goal!”

15-2. Not bad. Not bad at all. Time to hit the showers.

As you wash away the chlorine and poolwater, you can’t help but think: where the hell is Bolter? DeWitt is excused, flus are a pain in the ass to deal with, but you’re sure Bolter of all people wouldn’t miss out on everyone in swimsuits tackling and grabbing at each other.

Oh boy.

Anyway, you get dressed up and head in for your next class. Theatre.

The Professor has to step out for a couple of minutes, so you decide on relaxing. It’s not like-

“PENIS!”

… seriously?

The usual five who always suggests playing Party Quirks are now playing the Penis game.

>>28180656
>>28180664

I think at some point we may need them even if we don't want them...

No need to recruit now though.

>>28180635

More likely they're talking with each other about the revival of the Lafayette Tankery Program.

>>28180680

We have more crew choices than we have tanks to give, maybe at some point in the future, but there are a lot better options from my view.

> Ignore and try to relax

You lean back in your chair. Start playing some music in your head to drown them out. You close your eyes and sigh deeply. Relax. Rela-

“PENIS!”

Oh for the love of god.

In your theatre class, there are three kinds of people, the actors, the kids who want an easy grade, and the people actually genuinely interested in theatre. You are the last one. The other kids are mostly hanging in the back, talking amongst themselves, trying to ignore the five up at front yelling the male genitalia as loud as they possibly can in some immature game of chicken.

Their leader, Roberta Crane, looks over you, sitting alone. “Hey, want to play with us, Gertrude?”

You shake your head. “Unfortunately, I have better things to do with my time than to make penis jokes, Roberta.”

She scoffs. “Buzzkill.” She takes in a deep breath. Oh boy, this is gonna be a loud one. She turns around and yells “PE-“ right into Pinkerton and O’Bannon’s faces.

That's what I mean too.

Once we get all the tanks we have up speced and get crews for them, we're going to need to expand.

You keep as stonefaced and stoic as possible, not letting anyone see that you’re going to burst into laughter if they so much as sneeze in your general direction.

Roberta however, is terrified, “Oh… hi! What are you guys doing here?”

Pinkerton crosses her arms, unamused. “We heard there were dicks and we thought we’d stop by. I’m staring straight at one in fact.”

Roberta giggles. “Oh good one, Pinkerton, that’s really-“

“Shaddup,” says O’Bannon. Roberta quickly shuts up. She looks back at her friends, who all have assumed seats as if nothing is wrong. Spineless as always. “Anyway,” says O’Bannon, “you screaming Penis at the top of your fecking lungs is disturbing the peace and inappropriate language. That’s a ticket for 500 dollars and or two days of non-continuous detention.”

Roberta goes white. “W-wait, if I get detention, I won’t be able to star in the fall play!”

Pinkerton says, “You say that as if we give a shit.”

O’Bannon looks over at Pinkerton, “Oh, Alana, don’t be so heartless. I can sympathize! I love the arts! In fact, if only there was some kind of…” she rubs her index finger and thumb together, finding the words. “Some kind of… incentive for us to drop these charges.”

Roberta bites her lip, looking defeated. She pulls out her wallet. “How much?”

O’Bannon takes the wallet. “That’ll do.”

With that, the Professor steps in, “Oh, Hall Monitors?” he asks. “What are you two doing here?”

You stand up. This is your moment. “Well, O’Bannon and Pinkerton here were taking a bribe from Roberta after they caught her playing the Penis game.”

The Professor raises an eyebrow. “The what?”

“The Penis game. Don’t ask, anyway, they were taking bribes.”

The Professor looks over at Pinkerton and O’Bannon, who look unamused. “Is this true?”

Pinkerton and O’Bannon look at each other, then at the Professor. “Yep,” says Pinkerton. Huh, they actually admitted it.

“Well, I’ll have a chat with the Law Enforcement Studies advisors about this. Go on, get out of here.” Pinkerton and O’Bannon them promptly leave, but not before O’Bannon gives you the finger out of the Professor’s sight. He looks over at Roberta, “As for you, Roberta, I expected better from… actually, I entirely expected this. You’re not acting in the fall play.”

Roberta screams, “What!? But! I-“

“No buts.”

Roberta glares at you, then returns to her seat next to her friends.

You sit down, crossing your arms. Relaxation, ruined.

With that, Theatre class is over, and French class passes by without incident. You watch over your shoulder though, you’re only barely comprehensive of what Hall Monitors can do to you, especially if they’re on a student’s payroll.

“The Penis Game, Hall Monitor’s taking bribes, I tattled on them.”

You nod. “Yeah, don’t worry though, it’s not like this’ll come back to bite us in the rear. They’re smarter than that.”

Ramirez shakes her head. “No they aren’t.”

You sigh. “Look, are we gonna get to finding that tank or not?”
