Ok, now open fire on the trashcan.

[Harry Baldman]

Ok, now open fire on the trashcan.

+1. We've got lasers, so there's no need to worry about waking up the neighbors! Although it technically is a dumpster, I suppose.

[Parsely]

(Whups. Ninja. Just roll with it!)

Have the squad regroup at the new position, tell Osama to spit it out.[/b]

He tells Kihari what he plans to do and she shakes her head. Do what you like. They together catch up with the team and Osama taps the corporal and explains what happened. By now everyone except Enoshi is paying attention and Ikoma considers this. We need to finish our recon, but if you really think this is important.. What are you suggesting we do, then? Ikoma is interested in Osama's opinion.

[mastahcheese]

Smack Enoshi and tell him to listen.

[Parsely]

Smack Enoshi and tell him to listen.

Ichihara whaps him on the side of the head and he jumps. He yells. Shit! Don't scare me like that! She giggles a bit and Ikoma shoots them both a look before turning back to Osama.

[mastahcheese]

Well, that was fun.

Ok, have her speak.

[Parsely]

Ok, have her speak.

What do you mean? If you mean Kihara, Osama already told Ikoma what she felt. Ikoma thought about it, then asked Osama what he thought they should do about it. He's waiting for Osama's opinion. So decide what the squad should do next.

[Harry Baldman]

Wait for Osama's opinion. Did he even say anything? It's a little confusing. Listening to vague hunches by wise men and women among your unit is basic JSDF training. And if that just leads to nothing useful, move forth, shoot first, ask questions later. Also, invent colorful nicknames for teammates, including self, because their current names (except for Osama, whose nickname shall be Osama as well) are incredibly bland.

[Parsely]

What does Osama say to Ikoma?

If you want to give them nicknames I'll put them in there.

[Parsely]

I'm sorry if it's confusing, but just tell them what you want to do while using Osama as a sock puppet.

[mastahcheese]

Deal with it in a minute, get back to the recon.
Also smack Enoshi again.

[Parsely]

Osama takes one hand from his gun to scratch the back of his neck. I just think we should stay on our toes is all, let's finish the recon. Ikoma nods understandingly. Alright, let's move out. He smacks Enoshi on the back of the head and he yelps. Pay attention, don't get distracted! The Private shakes his head and grumbles a bit.

They move on past the dumpsters and finish exploring the rest of the alley, finding it very unremarkable. They reach the opposite end and come out of the street on the opposite side of the building to where they parked the vehicles. Everyone is feeling a bit relaxed now that they're back out in the open, except for Ikoma. ..Where's Fumihiko? He checks his watch. That took us less than three minutes.. Come on. He waves the team to follow and they rush over to the opposite alley.

Fumihiko and his squad lie in various positions in the middle of the alley, their bodies unmoving.

Private Kihara Ume
Gender: Female
Appearance: Of average height, wears her hair long, far beyond regulation length. Her soft features and slender figure draw the eyes of envious men and women alike, and the delicacy of her movements make her blinding agility in action all the more surprising.

Appearance: Below average height. Has unusually pale skin and mid-length brown hair. Has sharp features and very bright eyes. Always seems to be smiling.
Personality: Miya almost always has something to say, and the day she's at a loss for words is the day we all fall straight into hell. Very lazy and always shirking her duties at the base, her reliability in the field is second to none. Is believed by many in the company to have a photographic memory because of her overwhelming success at any form of gambling.

Gender: Male
Appearance: Osama's dark skin and broad build indicates that his parents were not natives to Japan. Both his head and jaw are clean shaven. He is just entering middle age.

Carefully approach?

[Parsely]

Carefully approach?

You approach cautiously. You count six bodies and they all remain completely still as you approach.

Enoshi is brave enough to bend down and check one of them. The man lies there on his back, his eyes wide and his mouth slightly open. It's Kokan! Oh my God, I think he's dead..! He slings his rifle onto his shoulder and starts removing his gloves. Ichihara, who was checking one of the other bodies, speaks up. What's that? She's pointing at his head. Ikoma looks at her and steps over to the body. He drops down to one knee. Ikoma looks at her again and Ichihara points a bit more closely. He lifts up his head gently with both hands and examines it. ... There's a thin hole, perfectly round and about a half an inch wide, right through the top of the man's helmet. It's leaking what could only be blood, mixed with some other yellowish fluid. The others watch Ikoma draw his knife and cut the chin strap. There's a wet, sucking noise as Ikoma removes his helmet with some effort. The top of what they recognize to be Corporal Fumihiko's head is completely matted with blood. There's a hole in the top of his head. Ikoma says flatly. Ayako runs over to a different body, and another. For fuck's sake corporal, they're all like this!
