A world at war with itself. One can only wonder at the course of events that shaped such an Orwellian nightmare.

Tell me, my new comrades: how many of you have military experience?

That all depends on what you consider to be military experience. For myself it is none. Others might give you a different response.

[survivalism]

I do. More than enough.

Training and experience in surviving in the midst of battle.

If the Initiative wishes us to survive the challenge they have set before us, one would expect it to be taught sooner rather than later.

[wantsapprentice]

[ Oh hey there, roommate. :V What's happenin'? ]

In what aspects?

text

[survivalism]

[ chatting up people on the network and never showing up at the appartment because of increasing paranoia!! x) ]

I've been fighting since I can think. That's all you really need to know, but if it means anything to you: I'm former US army. Currently freelance. Or used to be, before this.

[onemoredeath]

I'm afraid that all my training is geared more towards entertaining and serving drinks. I've never been to a battle field even though I am considered fit.

They have been sending us to training and classes, but it all seems like they are testing this as much as us.

[wantsapprentice]

A curious way of going about the matter.

How have you found the lessons helpful?

text

[onemoredeath]

Given that there are few people who have yet to master their bodies, I can see why they need the training.

No. Again, I do not expect to be thrown directly at enemy lines since the trainers acted as such.

[wantsapprentice]

[ You and him both, bro. :V No trust, not ever. ]

It seems you have quite the résumé.

[ They might even be cut from the same cloth, if what this individual says is true. ]

How do you find the Initiative?

text

[wantsapprentice]

They may send you out regardless, depending on the need.

What else has been of note to you?

text

[onemoredeath]

They may, if they think that getting the enemy drunk is a better solution than to kill them.

The opposition outside this place are of a like mind. Their forces were here a few weeks ago, tagging all the newcomers with microchips.

text

[wantsapprentice]

[ ...well. Guess who's going to find a way to scan himself to ensure the Initiative hasn't tagged him. :V ]

A bold maneuver.

I take it the devices were removed?

text

[onemoredeath]

[ Silly. Takegami already assumes that they had been tagged the moment they were brought to this place. ]

It is one of my small talents - drinking others under the table.

Some were, some weren't. The first chip is just under the skin, but damage it, they will place the second chip on the spine.

[wantsapprentice]

[ He did, too. He's just that much more determined to find it. ]

I see.

I take it the facilities aren't particularly secure.

[boughtabookstore]

Quite a few of us.

Others have none.

It's a mix.

likewise

[wantsapprentice]

So it would seem.

Have there been any missions, as of yet?

[boughtabookstore]

No.

Nor have we been informed of any upcoming.

[wantsapprentice]

[ Ah, so the game has barely even begun. It's something he can work with. ]

Curious.

Have the instructors been of any use to you?

[boughtabookstore]

I haven't particularly needed it.

[wantsapprentice]

So certain you know all there is to know?

text

[onemoredeath]

They aren't. This is a prisoner's land.

text

[wantsapprentice]

It is time, then, that this world saw some change.

[boughtabookstore]

No.

[ HEAVIEST SIGH EVER, she's getting so tired of these texting people ]

What does that say?

[wantsapprentice]

Perhaps, one day, it will be worth your while.
