First Sortie

[ultra_ace]

[A. 1337 Benny Road - Locked to Housemates]

[It was a normal day in Benny Road when Erica first arrived. Normal meaning that she barely stirred in bed, snoozing all that morning. She didn't get up until at least ten or eleven that morning when she lazily dragged herself out of bed in the morning.

Yawning, she stumbled downstairs and paused at the action. Strange, this wasn't her assignment area. This wasn't even her normal room. Where's all her stuff?]

This is not my usual place. Trude? You here?

[B. Benny Road to Park]

[Erica's wandering around, dressed in a shirt and panties and nothing else. There wasn't any of her usual uniforms anywhere and she wasn't going to wear shorts or a dress if she could use it. Currently, she was poking at a few things here and there, making sure that she wasn't seeing things.

If she sees you, she'll give a wave.] Hey.

No you're not! You look like a-

[Sansa is a proper lady and can't bring herself to say 'whore,' so she struggles for a second before indignantly pulling herself up to her full fourteen-year-old height.]

It's very indecent of you to walk around like that!

[ultra_ace]

[Well Erica is sixteen and she waves it off with a light grin.]

Yeah but where I come from, this is totally decent. Got a whole squadron of wingmates without pants back home.

[littleredwolf]

[Absolutely scandalized at this point, omg.]

You must come from a very [- she wants to say barbaric -] strange place, then. In the Seven Kingdoms, a lady must cover herself, lest others think she lacks virtue.

[JUDGING YOU SO HARD but she's also a bit curious, so.]

...what are 'wingmates'?

[ultra_ace]

Huh, that's something Perrine would say, being from a noble house and all. But then again, that's Perrine.

[She grinned, hands on hips.]

Wingmates, to fly in the air? You've never heard of Strike Witches before I take it, from your reactions.

[littleredwolf]

[Sansa takes a sudden step back.]

You're a witch?

[ultra_ace]

Yep. But my strikers aren't here so I guess I'm just grounded for now.

[littleredwolf]

You don't look like a witch.

[Not that she's ever seen one herself, but the romantic tales she loves tend to have a witch or two. Exactly none of them are described as blonde teenage girls.]

[ultra_ace]

What, you think that Witches wear pointed hats like they did so long ago during the medieval era? I'm a modern witch from back home. I don't think Witches have worn the "garb" for almost a generation now.

[littleredwolf]

Witches don't seem to wear much garb at all where you come from.

[u hussy]

[ultra_ace]

Those in service don't. We need our legs free for our Strikers. If we wear pants or a skirt, it gets tangled up in the mechanics.
