[13:19] <KamenWriter> SO
[13:20] <KamenWriter> First of all, Karsten, what's your plan for your Morning slot? You know that Rudiger has been missing since last night, but the mob in the night prevented you from searching.
[13:20] <KamenWriter> Almost forgot: For logging: Karsten, Pre-morning slot, Day 7
[13:21] <Karsten> Ah, yes.
[13:22] <Karsten> He'll probably hold off on searching, he's not the best at scouting and he has confidence in Elsa. Doesn't mean he's not worried as hell though. For the morning slot, let's...  just do more cooking since it's quick. We can refigure out the specifics later.
[13:23] <Karsten> Just holding down the fort and hoping for good news.
[13:24] <KamenWriter> Alright
[13:24] <KamenWriter> Well
[13:25] <KamenWriter> Before you start cooking, you are approached by Charlie.
[13:25] <KamenWriter> "What ho there!" :D
[13:25] <KamenWriter> "How are you this fine morning. I'm feeling much better now. Thank you for indulging in my little tiff last night."
[13:26] <Karsten> "Hm? Oh... guten morgen, Charles." he doesn't seem to be very chipper, but it's not because of Charlie. "It vas no trouble. Vat can I do for you?"
[13:27] <KamenWriter> "Oh, just wanted to talk. I figure after last night, I should be making more of an effort."
[13:28] <KamenWriter> "I've never seen pokemon do that before." :(
[13:29] * Karsten sighs. "Yes. Sey are vell-coordinated and much more vicious san typical vilds. Sey are an army. And last night vas not even a full-fledged attack... and vith se captain missing... I cannot help but vorry. ...it isn't right, I sink, sis battle between human and pokemon."
[13:30] <KamenWriter> "You're telling me. It's all ever so confounding."
[13:31] <Karsten> "Ve are doing vat ve can to survive, sough somehow ve blundered into two of seir generals and managed to come out victorious regardless. Se enemy generals, once pokemon are in se town hall now, having somehow taken a human form." he adds.
[13:31] <KamenWriter> "S-so... they can be defeated? That's a relief."
[13:32] <Karsten> "Sere are apparently grand 'rules' to all of sis sat ve do not all completely understand yet. But yes, ve have managed to hold our own so far..."
[13:32] <Karsten> He sighs, though.
[13:32] <KamenWriter> "Well... lets talk of something else. All of this talk of outlandish magical things puts me on edge."
[13:32] * Karsten stirs the pot, having another batch of berry jam on the boil.
[13:32] <Karsten> "Sure, vat vould you like to speak of?"
[13:32] <KamenWriter> "How about life back home?"
[13:33] <KamenWriter> "Do you have family and friends waiting for you?"
[13:33] <KamenWriter> "I've got Mother. She says she's going to set me up with a lovely girl when I get back." :D
[13:34] * Karsten nods. "My moser and sister are at home. My sister, Klaudia, she is learning sewing." he smiles and takes a moment to roll up his sleeve to show a funny little green bracelet with KARSTEN sewn on it and pachirisus. "She made sis for me before I departed for se front lines. My faser... is in se battle somevere else at se moment."
[13:35] <KamenWriter> "Bully! Having a sister that cares. That's wonderful."
[13:35] * Karsten nods at Charles. "At least you have your life in order, hm?"
[13:35] <KamenWriter> "You can tell a lot about a man by the family he keeps track of."
[13:36] <Karsten> "I have an aunt and uncle too, sat I am close to, but sey live in Italy. Not sure how far from here sey vould be... But ve did not get to stay long in contact after se var started."
[13:36] <Karsten> "Hm, so is you moser se only family you keep track of?" he asks.
[13:37] <KamenWriter> "Well... yes, unfortunately. My father isnt with us anymore, and I never had any siblings."
[13:38] <KamenWriter> "Mother's side of the family lives in the country, and I'm afraid that we're a bit estranged from them."
[13:38] * Karsten nods. "Be sure to take care of her in her elder years. I vorry about how lonely moser and Klaudia are..." ... and he sighs. "And sat... if ve do not vin sis ve vill never see sem again."
[13:40] <KamenWriter> :( "Might I tell you something?"
[13:40] <Karsten> "Hm?"
[13:40] * Karsten looks up.
[13:40] <KamenWriter> "Even with you being Jerry and the enemy and all."
[13:40] <KamenWriter> "I wish that I hadn't joined the airforce."
[13:41] * Karsten laughs a bit. "At least you vere not drafted. Vy did you, however?"
[13:41] <KamenWriter> "Because... Because, well..."
[13:41] <KamenWriter> "Mother is wonderful, and I love her, but, well... I'm all she has, and it can be a bit..."
[13:41] <KamenWriter> "...Intimidating..."
[13:42] * Karsten raises an eyebrow.
[13:42] <KamenWriter> "But all this fighting isn't good for my constitution. I wish I could simply go home."
[13:42] * Karsten nods.
[13:42] <Karsten> "You are afraid of dying."
[13:42] <KamenWriter> "Who isn't?" D:
[13:42] <Karsten> "Many of us are, even if ve do not realize it..." he agrees.
[13:43] <KamenWriter> "Pip, pip, stiff upper lip an all that rot, but... well... yes. I'm terrified of dying."
[13:43] <Karsten> "I did not actually sign up for se var by intention, but ven I did I took on se medical training to try and help as many lives as I could. ...and I suppose also it keeps me out of se direct fighting."
[13:44] <Karsten> "I have to admit I have been vondering often if I am a cowvard or if I am not."
[13:44] <Karsten> "Cait has faith in me at least..."
[13:44] <Karsten> "So I vill have to believe in myself, I suppose. As for you... Vell..."
[13:44] <Karsten> "I have no intention of letting you die."
[13:45] <KamenWriter> :3 "Bully! There's a chap."
[13:45] <Karsten> "Ve must all come to count on each oser during all of sis..."
[13:46] <KamenWriter> "I have a feeling that we shall be boon companions, Blum."
[13:47] <KamenWriter> "I must be going. I've many things to do, but let us speak again." :D
[13:47] <Karsten> He nods. "Very vell."
[13:47] * Karsten continues stirring his pot of jam.
[13:47] <KamenWriter> "I look forward to more of your berry jam."
[13:47] <KamenWriter> "Farewell!"
[13:47] * Karsten laughs. "I vill do vat I can."
[13:47] * Karsten waves him off.
[13:47] * Karsten is now known as Kain
[13:47] <KamenWriter> He walks off.
[13:48] <KamenWriter> And then you cook your snacks for the first time slot, and by that time, Elsa comes to inform you of what's going on. I'll let Elsa herself do that
[13:49] <Kain> Alrighty
