Well, in case it's a tad too early we might as well pick up Kitten first.

>>28306006
>Don't want to wake Michelle
>Let's wake Kitten instead
No bullying Kitten please.

> Head directly to Michelle’s
> Go wake Kitten

Welp, nothing for it. Time to hit the road. You eat your perfectly balanced breakfast of milk and cereal, then head out of the dorm and into the burning hot sun. Shit it’s not even summer anymore and it’s still perfect weather for getting one’s tan on.

You decide on waking Kitten first though, maybe she’ll want to come. You need to pick out new clothes for her anyway.

You head downstairs then knock on her door, and to your surprise, Kitten answers, already dressed in her uniform.

“Kitten,” you say. “You’re already awake?”

“All that sleeping I did yesterday ruined my sleep cycle, so I’m pretty much awake now.”

You nod, smiling. “Excellent! Want to go to Michelle’s place? She knows a lot about tanks!”

Kitten shrugs. “Sure, might as well continue to melt like ice cream out here.”

The two of you head on over to Junior dorms. They’re not particularly far, mind you, but the summer sun that doesn’t know that it’s fall is really putting on a damper on you and Kitten. At least you’re not running.

Kitten says, “So, this Michelle person, is she alright?”

> Boast

>>28306105
Yeah, she's cool. But, uh...try not to talk TOO much about tanks around her.

>>28306105

By the way since you were late does that mean we can continue until 10:30?

>>28306140

“Michelle’s very nice and a very smart, hard worker. Just don’t mention tanks around her though.”

Kitten raises an eyebrow. “Why’s that? I thought you said she knew a lot about tanks.”

“Well, you know, the Aces all have a history, I don’t want them to start having flashbacks like some ‘Nam vet.”

Kitten nods. “Alright then, get my hopes up for nothing with tanks and shit.”

You mockingly pout at her. “I’m so sorry, Kitten. But maybe you two have something in common! Maybe you play the same video games or like the same movies.” Kitten simply rolls her eyes at that.

You arrive at Michelle’s place then knock on her door.

No response.

> Continue knocking

> Continue knocking

You continue knocking on Michelle’s door. After a time, you almost decide on giving up, until the door opens. Michelle greets you in her pajamas looking very tired.

“I’m sorry,” you say. “Did I wake you?”

Michelle shakes her head, sniffling. “Nah, I’m just a little slow. Flu’s really got me this weekend. Something you need?”

You say, “Ah, I was just wondering if you wanted to like, prepare for the presentation.”

“That tomorrow?”

“Think so.”

Michelle nods, coughing into her elbow. She gestures you in. “Alright, come in. Watch yourself though, I’m still not exactly in the best shape.”

You wave her off, chuckling. “Oh relax, me and Kitten are from the South. Our immune systems are as impenetrable as a nun’s chastity belt.” You suddenly realize you forgot to introduce Kitten. “Oh yeah, this is my friend, Carol. We call her Kitten.”

Kitten nods, mumbling out a “hello.” Michelle nods back.

“I’d shake your hand,” says Michelle. “But who knows where my hand’s been.”

Righto, where to start?

“So, how exactly are we going to do our presentation, Michelle?”

Michelle lies down on her bed while you and Kitten take the couch. Michelle says, “Well, I prepared a powerpoint on some different flowers and such, Chrysanthemums too. I think we can just coast on by by just reading off the powerpoint.”

You lean back in your seat. “Ah, that’s no fun. Why don’t we spice things up?”

“How?”

You shrug. “I dunno how. And don’t give me that ‘you suggested it’ crap, I’m just suggesting it.”

Michelle scratches her chin. “Eh, I suppose maybe you can stop by and get actual Chrysanthemums.” Michelle looks over at Kitten. “What are you doing here, by the way? I don’t think I’ve seen you in class before.”

Kitten shrugs. “I take online classes.”

Michelle nods. “Ah, what Department are you?”

“Ah, I’m not Naval Studies?”

Michelle skeptically asks, “What’s your job then?”

Kitten blushes, looking away. “Uh… I don’t have a job.”

Michelle nods. “You should get one.” She looks over at you. “Anyway, you gonna do most of the talking or should I?”

“We’ll both do the talking. 50/50 you know?”

Michelle groggily waves her arm at you. “No sympathy for the afflicted, you monster.”

You shrug. “Meh, it’s only fair.”

A knock comes at Michelle’s door. You stand up to answer, but she immediately cuts you off. “No no, I’ll get it.” She walks over to the door and opens it up.

“Michelle, good to see you.” Wendy Kniep, clad in her Naval Studies Engineering uniform. She has a bag of goodies in one hand. “I brought some sweets and orange juice for you, figure it’d help that flu.”

“Oh, thanks, Wendy.” She motions Wendy to come in, to which she does, and when she notices you and Kitten, she looks surprised.

“Well, Gertrude Pool! You made quite a stir with the whole Storage G thing.”

We know nothing of the otakus besides their obnoxious and Nancy hates them.

You wave her off. “Oh, it was nothing. We were just looking for tanks you know?”

Wendy nods, skeptical of you. “And you sure found a tank. A T28/T95 GMC.” You can hear Michelle snicker briefly in the background.

“Well, it’s a tank isn’t it?”

“Technically it’s a very very heavy tank destroyer/assault gun.”

Jeez.

Michelle pops a cough drop into her mouth then sits back down on her bed. “So, Wendy, how have you been?”

Wendy shrugs, crossing her arms. “Eh, Naval Studies is a lot of work but at least I don’t pay tuition like you rich people.” She looks over at you, almost glaring at you. “Speaking of which, what’s going on between you and Octavia?”

You and Kitten glance at each other briefly. “Uh…” you say, “Huh?”

“Octavia told me you’re directing the play, but she let slip something about helping you with something. And I know that something is with Tanks.” With that, Michelle also looks at you, skeptical. “What’s your angle?”

What’s your angle?

It's not like we have anything to hide, Trude asked her if she wanted to help tonking and she agreed in return for help with the play.

I kind of agree with you on this.

However, doesn't the tournament allow up to 12 to 15 tank crews in a fight? So wouldn't it be a good idea to recruit any club we can get? Especially, if the clubs are limited.

Then again the anime club will be at the bottom of said list

Not who you are replying to, but they could be a diamond in the rough. All they need is some shaping and they'll stop being obnoxious loud retards. Who knows if an Ace lies behind the layers of annoying?

Or there could be nothing to them beyond obnoxious retards, in which case we'll have fucked up royally.

I agree with >>28307089 when he says if we need extra teams, they'll be the very last club we'll ask.

“She needed help with the play, and we needed help with Tankery. Simple as that.”

…

Oh boy, uh.

Wendy says, “Real simple huh?”

You say, “She’s not driving tanks or anything, she’s just giving us some tips! She’s basically an instructor to us.”

The two Aces do not look particularly impressed. Michelle says, “Listen, Gertrude. You shouldn’t go digging holes in places like this.”

Wendy nods. “Yeah, I don’t know how you managed to convince Octavia to join your little Tankery program thing, but maybe you should stay out of our affairs.”

You cross your arms, frowning. Kitten is starting to feel just a bit awkward, so she stands up and says, “We should be going, right, Trudy?”

Wendy nods. “Yeah, you probably should.”

> “Actually…”
> “Yeah, we should.”
> Other

>>28307143
They don't make Kitten hide in a trash can and phone for extraction while on the verge of tears, so...I'd venture that sewing club's nowhere near as bad

>>28307132
This si true, then again I think we're shit talking them a bit too much.

Not that it's undeserved they do have some responsibility but I'm getting a feeling of misunderstanding considering how otakus can be a bit socially awkward. Not to mention during the harassment it was the hall monitors that set this up. \

They could have very well have told the anime club that Nancy like this stuff in secret. and was being a tsundere or something.

>>28307143

At least the sewing club are somewhat justified in that, and they've been extremely helpful in other ways. They also made Kitten their friend.

Meanwhile we've got Nancy traumatised, actually traumatised, by her experiences with the anime club.

>>28307146
>“Actually…”
We've got a project to at least sort of finished.

I guess look at Michelle and see what's up.

>>28307146
Leave, but tell them we have our reasons. We'd leave it alone if we could.

>>28307146
>“Actually…”
Tell them the reason WHY we are doing Tankery, I doubt it'll change their views but they should know.

>>28307146
> “Actually…”
Fuck that, it's not like we've been begging these two to join. Octavia wants to help us, that's her business, not theirs, just as much as their past is none of Trude's business.

>>28307159

Shockingly, people who have traumatized one of our friends do not make the best first impression.

>>28307146
I wonder if we should pull out our trump card and say if we don't do Tankery, the school's going to be put of commission.

>>28307146

>>28307159

Of all the non-staffers they're probably right there on top of the "could probably be informed without freaking out," list.

I don't know if this is the right time to drop the bomb, but they're both juniors aren't they? If Lafayette closes they're going somewhere else for senior year...

>>28307189
True, not saying their hands are clean, just saying that I wouldn't put the SS to pull something like this

>>28307175
I disagree, this was a secret entrusted to us by the principal. I don't feel comfortable about releasing this just yet considering all we really know about them is their an awesome tank crew.

I rather they come around on their own then being pressed into service that if they don't the ship is doomed

>>28307175
>>28307203
They'll say they'll hopefully be transferred to a school without tankery, and it'll be for the best.

>>28307228
Fine, then just tell them we have our own big secrets and that they shouldn't judge us either.

>>28307249
This sounds good.

> “Actually…”

“You know Wendy, I didn’t force Octavia to help me. I’m helping her, she’s helping me. Quid pro quo, that’s what’s going on here. I respect her enough not to dig into her past.”

Wendy scoffs. “Do you really?”

“Yeah! I do!” you put your hands on your hips. “I understand that something happened and that it’s none of my business! Look, this Tankery thing is important to me, in many ways you can imagine.”

Michelle says, “Look, Gertrude, just don’t press us about Tankery, okay?”

You nod. “Yeah, fine, Michelle. I won’t.” You look at Wendy dead in the eyes. “Because I happen to have some respect for the both of you.”

Kitten tugs on your sleeve. “Can we go now?” she asks.

You nod. “Yeah, Kitten, let’s go.”

With that, the both of you exit Michelle’s dorm. The door is slammed behind you as you walk out. You sigh, rubbing your temples. This isn’t how you pictured your morning going.

Welp, nothing for it then. Time to go see Nancy.

“So, those Aces are a real piece of work,” says Kitten.

You say, “They have a history, I told you this. Now that I think about it though, looks like their history is really eating them up.”

Kitten nods and says, “Did I bitch that much in Middle School?”

“Nah, you usually just cried into my shoulder while I comforted you,” you respond. Kitten snickers.

The two of you begin your walk down the street. You check the time. Looks to be about quitting time for morning mass. Thankfully it doesn’t seem as hot anymore, but it’s still bright as fuck. So bright, you didn’t notice oncoming traffic.

You bump into something. You look around, nothing. You look downwards.

“Oh,” you say. “Hey, O’Hara.”

“How about you step back for me,” she says into your chest. You step back, and see O’Hara adjust her glasses. She’s clad in her school uniform, black armband with the LES sigil on it. Next to her is another Law Enforcement Student, who looks tired as all hell.

“Pool. Been meaning to talk to ye,” O’Hara says. “How are you doing by the way?”

O’Hara shakes her head. “Nope. She a friend of yours?”

You nod. “Yeah, anyway, what’d you want to talk to me about?”

O’Hara smiles smugly, clapping her hands together. “Thank you for getting Pinkerton and O’Bannon demoted to Trainee. Not only do they no longer have the power to issue tickets, brig people, or give non-continuous detention, but our Law Enforcement Studies Advisors have seen fit to promote me to Shift Leader!”

You nod, smiling back. “That’s great. Really!” Not really.

O’Hara nods, giggling. “Oh, you know, a freshmen a Shift Leader. Unheard of until now. Those days of getting my head eaten off by those fecking cunts O’Bannon and Pinkerton are waaaay in the past.” She looks over at O’Brain, and her smile instantly drops. “O’BRIAN! WAKE UP!”

O’Brain immediately jumps, unfolding her baton and getting into a defensive posture. “WHASSAT, WHERE ARE THEY!?”

“THERE’S NOBODY! YOU FELL ASLEEP AGAIN YOU SLEEPY CUNT!”

O’Brain folds up her baton and points it at O’Hara. “Oi, don’t you be calling me a fecking cunt you pussyfooting jackass!”

Advise her, from one leader to another, that bossing around people is sometimes fun. But don't let the power and authority get too much into your head.

You quickly grab Kitten and decide to sidestep around them.

“O’BRIAN, IF YOU WEREN’T SUCH A FUCKING NIGHT OWL MAYBE YOU WOULDN’T FALL ASLEEP LIKE SOME LITTLE BABBY!”

“WELL MAYBE I’D ACTUALLY GET SOME SLEEP IF YOU’D STOP MOANING IN THE FUCKING NIGHT ABOUT-!”

O’Hara stomps her foot repeatedly, red in the face. “SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP! YOU FUCKING CUNT!”

“THE ONLY CUNT I SEE HERE IS YOU AND I’M VERY GENUINELY SURPRISED THAT YOU’RE NOT EATING ANOTHER ONE EITHER!”

“I’M GONNA STICK THIS BATON SO FAR UP YOUR FUCKING ARSE THAT YOU’LL BE SERVING AS A PARKING METER!”

You continue walking. Kitten looks up at you and says, “I’m glad I don’t attend school.”

You say, “Yeah, Hall Monitors are not the most agreeable people.”

You continue on to the Church, and true to your earlier word, it seems people are just leaving. They’re clad in nice suits and lovely dress. You find Nancy waiting at the entrance, and she greets you happily.

“President! Kitten! Good to see you! How are you doing?” she asks.

Of course, we only interact with O'Hara in small doses, so might be accurate.

“Eh, could be better.”

Nancy nods. She’s dressed up in her school uniform. Nothing better to wear for Church you suppose. “Well, I hope I can make your day better then, President.” The three of you hop down the steps. “So, I was thinking we could maybe hit up the local bargain bin or something, see if we can’t find something that fits you for cheap.”

You shrug. “Eh, me and Kitten are okay with whatever fits.”

Nancy pouts. “Oh, you shouldn’t have to settle with ‘just’ whatever fits. You should look nice and-“ She gasps. “Oh, that’s right! The Sewing Club just called me to tell you about our uniforms!”

“We have uniforms now?” you ask.

Nancy happily nods. “Yep! We could stop by them if you want. Maybe they can just make some clothes for us or something.”

“Let’s head over to the Sewing Club building. See what’s what.”

Nancy nods. “Whatever you say.”

The three of you head for the Sewing Club building. The Sewing Club building isn’t unique, many other clubs take entire buildings as their clubhouses. For example, the Cooking Club takes an entire restaurant to themselves, and you often hear rumors about the Film Club in the old haunted Hollywood building.

Kitten and Nancy make small talk along the way.

“So, Kitten, what do you think you’d look good in? Maybe a nice sweater for the upcoming weather?”

Kitten shrugs. “I’m in the same boat Trudy is. I don’t care.”

Nancy rolls her eyes. “That’s what they all say.”

You arrive at the Sewing Club Building and enter. The lights are on, the clothes are no longer splayed or tossed around but are instead neatly lined up in racks. Anna greets you at the counter.

“Gertrude! Kitten! Nancy! Good to see you three! What brings you here?”

“Well, Nancy told me you had uniforms and-“

Anna beams like a spotlight. “WE DO!” She quickly grabs Kitten and before she can react she’s suddenly pushed into the backroom.

“Mamie! Bess! The uniforms, s'il vous plait!"

“Hey! What are you- OW! What the fuck! What the hell is that?!”

“Just hold still!”

“Wait! WHY ARE YOU TAKING MY UNDERWEAR OFF?!”

Lord knows what they’re doing back there.

You and Nancy stand outside the curtains of the backroom for a minute or so. Then, the curtains open, revealing the Sewing Club and Kitten.

Kitten stands there awkwardly, red in the face. The Tankery Uniform she now wears appears to be more of a variation of the Naval Studies Uniform. It was a navy blue jacket with a red sailor collar, a red skirt, and to top it off, a blue field cap.

“Leather jackets and pants are optional of course,” says Anna. “But what do you think, Gertrude, too derivative?”

> Fuck if I know.

“Well, hell if I know, I’m not a fashion connoisseur like yourself, Anna.”

Mamie says, “Maybe olive drab instead of navy?”

Anna scratches her chin, pensive. “Perhaps. I don’t want to give us too much of an army look…” Anna lifts Kitten’s skirt up an inch, and is quickly slapped on the hand by her. “Hmph. I suppose there’s nothing for it. We’ll scrap the design and go back to the drawing board.” She quickly pulls the curtains back. There’s the sounds of rustling and Kitten shouting, then quickly the curtains are drawn and she’s back in her school uniform.

“That wasn’t fun,” says Kitten. Anna simply pats her on the head.

“Oh, don’t be such a sadsack, Kitten. You’ve got the makings of a model in you!”

“Yeah, I’d really like to see my body artificially enhanced and then get yelled at by Tyra Banks on national televisions, that sounds like real fun.”

You say, “Anyway, Anna. I actually wanted to talk with you, you think you could provide costumes for the upcoming play?”

Anna nods. “Of course! Sewing Club’s duty is to make clothes for any purpose.”

You nod. “Great! And I suppose it’s free!”

She nods back, smiling. “Oh, you helped the Sewing Club regain its former glory, of course it’s free!”

Nancy says, “Speaking of which. We were looking for some casualware, do you think you could help us?”

Anna claps her hands together, giddy at the prospect of clothes shopping. “Lovely! What are you looking for exactly?”

Army, not Navy. More drab green, less sailor more GI. What about sleeveless? No, too 'nam.

Pockets. Lots of pockets. Did I say less blue? Because we're tankers not navyfags, replace all blue with OD #7. Do we have a school crest? Because combine that with a white star or tanks or shells.

And leather. How long is the skirt? Too short? Should they be pants? Would that be too dyke-y?

Are there gloves? Are there hats? Are they nice hats? What if we give our tank commanders different colour hats? What if we give our team captain a different, larger hat?

>>28308557
Feldgrau is just a color, it has no connection to the Nazis apart from them using it, too, for the first years of war
They latter were forced to dilute the dye because of material shortages, which turned it into a brown-ish color, but still

Well anyway, point is, it's a practical color, it's looking pretty good, and makes us stand out from all the green/brown tones the other teams are likely to use

> Some mixture of ALL OF THEM

“Well, I suppose I’d like a mixture of practicality and fashion. I’m not of a fashionista so, maybe you could help me choose?”

Anna grabs you by the shoulders and starts leading you through the racks. “LET ME SHOW YOU MY WARES!”

As you’re led through, Anna quickly picks out all manners of stockings, skirts, shirts, dresses, jackets, and some weird things you’ve never heard of but apparently are actually incredibly common. Nancy and Kitten also given the same treatment by Mamie and Bess and soon enough, you’re all in the backroom with a pile of clothes and some very eager Sewing Club members.

“Okay, Anna, uh…” you begin.

You don’t get farther than that before you’re stripped like a banana.

After a few minutes of trying, testing, and some weird touching, you’re finished.

Nancy is decked out in a dark blue jumper dress, with a white shirt underneath and black knee highs. Her hair has been styled into a ponytail, held together with a red scrunchie. Now that’s looking cool.

You meanwhile have been put into a navy blue button down shirt with an accompanying black skirt. Simple, practical.

Kitten unfortunately had the honor of being dolled up by Anna, and it very clearly shows. She’s put into a pink sundress, a gray cardigan, topped off with a white bow tying her hair into a ponytail.

“Wow, Kitten,” you snicker. Don’t laugh, don’t laugh. “You… clean up nicely!”

Kitten, who’s still red in the face, simply says, “Yeah, fuck you too, Trudy.”

Anna comes in between you two, smiling. “Are you not satisfied?”

“It all looks very good, Anna. Thanks!”

Anna is ecstatic. “Excellent! I do have an eye for casuals you know!”

Nancy nods. “It all does look good.” She looks over at Kitten. “I’m especially impressed with Kitten, she looks so cute!”

Kitten looks away and says, “Please don’t start, Nancy.”

Anna nods. “Anyway, all of this is free of charge. That’s the least I can do for the girl who put the Sewing Club back on the map. I’ll have some proper uniforms for you all later of course.”

You nod back. “Of course, Anna.”

“Though,” Anna scrutinizes Kitten’s figure. “I suppose Kitten could use a nice swimsuit-“

Kitten says, “No.”

“So, Anna, has the Club been doing well?”

Anna smiles, then her smile starts to fade slowly. “Eh… not really.”

You raise an eyebrow. “Not really?”

“Well, we did advertise at the Club fair, we even sold some of our wares. But nobody actually comes by. As it turns out, on an Academyship where nearly all of us wear uniforms most of the time, new threads are apparently in low demand.”

You frown. “Ah, that’s a shame. You’re really talented at this stuff, you know?”

Anna nods, waving you off. “Ah, don’t worry about me. The Sewing Club has handled ourselves in the thickest of situations. My boyfriend always tells me to-“

“Wait,” this is new. “You have a boyfriend.”

Anna nods, non-plussed. “Of course. Didn’t I tell you?”

“… no?”

“Hmph. I guess I should make it a bit more obvious then. He doesn’t live on the Academyship, he’s actually back in Richmond. Long distance relationships are always so difficult you know?”

You shrug. “I wouldn’t know. I’ve never had a relationship with a boy.”

Anna gasps. “Oh, you poor thing.”

Welp, time to work on the play then. You look over at Nancy and ask her, ”Nancy, when are our auditions for the play?”

Nancy says, “I scheduled them for Wednesday, in between our Tankery practices. Of course you’re free to reschedule them when you like.”

> Note: Like Tankery practice, you can also schedule various parts of the Play. The only date you can’t reschedule is October 18th, which is the day the play goes live.

You nod. “Alright, thanks.” You pull out your cellphone and check the time. Oooh, nearly lunch time.

But no, you need to focus, you need actors, you could use some more money you suppose. Most of all, you need music. Music, music, music, think. You can’t exactly blast dubstep on stage and expect the actors to sing to that.

You’re not gonna subject the audience to that kind of torture.

Of course, music won’t matter without actors. Although auditions are days away, you at least need to guarantee that SOME people will come and audition.

Actors first and foremost.

All three of you take your leave, thanking the Sewing Club for your outfits. You scratch your chin, where are you going to find actors?

Hell, it’s not even difficult to find actors, it’s difficult to find actors that can SING. Good thing this isn’t West Side Story where you need to find actors that can Act, Sing, AND DANCE AT THE SAME TIME. Goddamn it, why couldn’t your Theatre Arts kids be like that?

Well, at least you don’t have to worry about gender ratio. Regular landlubber high schools would probably have a huge majority of women with just the occasional token guy. Here in Lafayette Girls Academy, everyone’s a girl anyway.

Makes Romeo and Juliet very uncomfortable though.

The three of you end up in the park, time to figure out where to go.

You take a big bite into your cheeseburger. Hell, it’s not Nancy’s cooking, it may be processed meat, and eating too much of it can give you a stroke, but damn if ain’t good. Nancy ordered herself a salad while Kitten took a cheeseburger and fries to go along.

You take a couple of glances around, just a lot of students going about their day.

You say to Nancy, “Nancy, you see anyone who looks like they want to be in a play?”

Nancy shakes her head. “Nah, I assumed you would.”

And it’s definitely out of the question to ask Kitten.

You sigh. “Well, this directing thing is turning out to be harder than I thought.”

Suddenly, a nearby trashcan lid bursts open, revealing Georgia Jones and Stella Hutchins, reporters from the Lafayette Runner. “WHAT A SCOOP!” yells Georgia.
