Marlene spoke up. "The tensions have been rising for months. I made my decisions a long time ago. I knew that if it ever came to war, I would fight for the South, but only if Erin had no objections. Frankly, I find anyone who hasn't made such a decision ill-prepared for war."
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All."Say what you will, Lee, but the South has made its opinions clear. If you plan on stopping us from leaving, be my guest."
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All.Francisca coldly regarded Marlene. "I don't like what you're implying with that sentence, Miss." Horatia mewled.
"Franny..."
"Right. Sorry. Anyways, here's what I plan. To leave and save both sides my ineptitude."
Both then watched Roberta and Marlene. Horatia suddenly sounded tired, pained.
"Please, don't fight here..."

Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaSimone, rather uncharacteristically, giggled at that "Then call me ill prepared, cause I don't know that much about the plight of the South. I just got a feeling I rather head that way... and besides, the North's side of the debate is rather easy to get... as for the South... I rather see then in the eye and ask a couple questions before I wave my sword either which ways"
Then Simone shifted her gaze to Roberta, her expression turning into a grin "Oh hello, Roberta. How do you reckon that won't happen?"

Marlene closed her eyes, her expression set neutrally. Her mind was very much in the same state it was during training. "I have no plans to attack Ms. Lee. But if she plans on interfering with my right to go where I please, I will defend myself."

"While I will stand idle in tha turnabout towards Miss Arnold and company, I will not tolerate this."
"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke."Horatia shook her head. "You can't fight them to stop them... that's just as wrong."
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -Imca"The South is going to rise Lee, with or without your desire. One magical girl can save the lives of 1000 mortal men. We were placed here at West Point because Atlantis knew that fact well. Are you going to stop us? Or are you going to let good mortals die?"
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All.Francisca unsubtly reached over for the whiskey, to take a brief swig for herself.
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -Imca"Thare isnae much ya can do ta halt us," Voirrey said with a shrug as she stood behind Simone, "We've gotta final night of the auld pleasures 'n' vices, come tha war starts tomarrah, better ta have a final night of auld friendships and simple pleasures, come 'n' 'ave a dram."

Francisca put the whiskey back and regarded Voirrey and Simone. "I'm surprised. Some of you are treating this whole civil war affair quite nonchalantly. In comparison to everyone else, for instance." She gestured sadly at Horatia, who was quite pale and slightly trembling at this point.

Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -Imca"Roberta. That didn't happen to you. Just like I didn't shoot down 87 planes during World War I. We are more than our past lives. History does not have to repeat itself. Fate does not control you. We bend fate to our will." Marlene's eyes were fixed on the senior, dead center. However, after a moment, she blinked, turning away from the girl and flicking her twintails back over her shoulders. "I'm not going to fight you. I think I'll spend some time with my friends. After all, staying or leaving. This is the last day of a peaceful life." Marlene walked over to Mr Hop's cage and began petting him.
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All.Francisca raised an eyebrow. "We're not out past lives? Then why am I a miserable failure of a general?" She walked over to Horatia and embraced her, trying to soothe the extremely shocked junior girl.
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -Imca"Thare I disagree, Marly," Voirrey said, knocking back her third shot, "Ya see, this is why I do nae get tha Romans. Ya see, we stand now on tha Fortunate Isles westta Briton. We each woke some eighteen years past ta see a thousand mightta gone since 'r journey. Our strifes an' battles in the last life ar' rewarded an' we spend 're time in Annoan, knownin' the pleasure a' feastin', gamin' music 'n' love. Even battle fer we'll merely wake tha next day ta' see a hundred years 'ave passed again."

Horatia sighed through Francesca. "This is really our last day, isn't it...?" Her suitor just hugged her tighter. "Well... hey, Voirrey?"
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -Imca"Can you... can I have a drink? Of the whiskey, I mean?"
"Atta girl." Francesca patted Horatia on the back and relinquished her. Horatia did look better, and she was smiling slightly as she extended a hand for the bottle.

Patton was studying the email and saw some of the doublespeak Jenny did. I've got their lies. Now I just need to see what the North says.
