I’m Carlos Acoste… Son of General Steven Acoste. I’m 21, soon to be 22 years old, I’m native and currently living on New Stockholm-3, within the Azure Alliance.

I Recently graduated from the Miraborg Academy of Military Science, achieving the rank of Sub-Lieutenant. As is tradition… I spent most of yesterday celebrating and drinking… and now I’m paying for it with a headache… Some dizziness and an extremely dry throat…

Now… if this headache would recede… I might be able to think of what to do next…

>…

Check around for some water or some left over booze. Whichever you find first

Enhance knockers.

Be a pirate.



Okay but seriously, get some milk and eggs, have some vegetable mush pipe fed down your esophagus. Nutrients will help you recover faster.

Time to become a schizophrenic homeless guy who is addicted to crack.

What type of last name is Acoste?

Yeah get some water. Whether to drink or dump on your face is up to you.

"The Acosters are a long, successful line of Juggalo Pirates who convince ancient conspiracies to promote them to positions of power, because the apparently-inexplicable success of obviously-evil-and-insane men breaks the hope of the masses."

That's what the conspiracy theorists on fringe-fringe worlds say about your clan, anyway...

>>1119582
Start simple.
Find missing sock.
Its gotta ne somewhere.

Find your other sock, and appreciate that uniform top hanging on your wall

>>1119582
Find missing sock.

Make your bed so you will resist the temptation to get back into it. You're late, soldier!

>Enhance knockers
I… Specifically went through the trouble reducing my “knockers”. I still don’t feel like going back in that.

>What type of last name is Acoste?
From what I been told, it used to be “Acosta”, But due to some problems with paperwork a long time ago, it was changed, and my Great great-grand parents were too lazy to change it back, so it stuck…
I guess it could have been worse, heard even worse last names out there.

>>That's what the conspiracy theorists on fringe-fringe worlds say about your clan, anyway...
Of course not! My family has a… relatively speaking, long tradition of serving with… relative distinction! Like sure, we never actually did anything THAT noteworthy as some others have… but we have always been working in the favor of Azure Alliance and all its worlds and people.

>missing sock
What the…Where is my sock?! And how did I manage to miss THAT sock, but lose my left boot?!

I know! I know! … Agh… This is the last time I listen to Jack… and Last time I drink that much… I’m… really struggling to remember most of what happened last night… how the hell did I even get back to my room...?

Oh… Here it is… The sock, that is… wrapped on the bed’s covers… No clues on my left boot though…

>appreciate that uniform top hanging on your wall
Ah… that’s the formalwear for officers, used for celebrations and the sort. I only got to use it like once or twice, last time was yesterday, on the graduation ceremony. Soon after, I came back here to change to my backup uniform, because I knew I was going to get trashed in the… “after party”. I didn’t want it to get stained. I still needed to get the rest of the uniform framed, but I liked the top more... a Shame I don't get to use it that often.

> Become Pirate
Yeah… I remember those fantasies as a child. It was fun, even on some videogames. At this point in time though, I feel like I’m good. I don’t think the life of a pirate would do well for me.

> become a schizophrenic homeless guy who is addicted to crack.
Though I’d still try being a pirate before going there! Though… is crack still a common drug out there? I think I heard in history class it started becoming less common, as it was shown to not affect the other species in the alliance all that much… Questions for later.

>>1119583
Right… let’s see… Well… there is about half a cup of cold tea I didn’t finish… yesterday? The day before that? No time to question. Thank you past me…

Hm? Right a message… From my father it seems… I guess I can play it and see what’s it all about…

Playing recording. “… Congratulations on your graduation, Carlos. I apologize I wasn’t present during the ceremony.”

That’s not surprising.

“Regardless. Hopefully you had a good rest. I’m sending you this message at this specific time in hopes you managed to rest properly from your… activities last night.

Since I’m already sending you this message, I figured I should take the opportunity to inform you that you should now have an assignment waiting for you at command. I won’t be giving you much details over a voice message, but I can assure you it will be an off-world assignment, so I’d recommend taking some time to calmly look into your things and figure what to take with you. Don’t worry much about the rest, someone will take care of sorting everything out, and your room will be given to someone else.”

Well, that’s to be expected… I didn’t hear there were many spots available here in New Stockholm.

“Report to your superior’s office at 0900 hours, where you will be properly briefed… And son… Congratulations.”

…At… 0900…

>…

Time to throw everything you can fit into a duffel bag.

>>1119612
What time *is* it, then? How long do you have to pack? What have you got that you'd want to pack?

40 minutes means you need to get dressed, grab the nearest snack, and walk briskly. Don't look exasperated or your officers will claim you were tardy just to spite your panic.

>>1119612
Just graduated and already given an off-world assignment?
And he couldn't give details over voicemail? Must be sensitive.
This will certainly be an interesting briefing if nothing else.

Yeah I agree with >>1119615 Be a bit hurried but not TOO hurried

What you do depends on whether you expect to be able to come back here after

>>1119612
40 minutes to find a sock, secure kit and make oneself presentable.
Eating on the march is frowned upon in sone kilitaries, but theres nothing saying you cant eat something while youre flyingbaround your room.
Hey, check inside the boot for the sock.

>40 minutes means you need to get dressed, grab the nearest snack, and walk briskly.
Crab, crab, crab! Alright. I can reach the office in… 10… maybe 20 minutes… that gives me some time to do other stuff! But I don’t have time to shower! And I smell horrible!

Agh! Deodorant will have to do!

I have two socks but one of my boots is missing. I don’t have times to find my missing boot so I’ll have to use the other pair I have…

>Time to throw everything you can fit into a duffel bag.
Right! I have to do that quickly! Let’s see…. Where the hell did I… Oh…

Right… I forgot. Expecting to be moved off-world shortly, I had already prepared most my belongings in advance… Except for my formalwear… and some books I have yet to read... I will need to spend some time packing that up as well... Time I probably don't have!

>theres nothing saying you cant eat something while youre flyingbaround your room.
Alright… alright just focus, just calm down… and get a quick snack for the stomach… a nutritional bar will do… I can get something better, and tastier, to eat after the briefing.

Most likely I won’t be coming back here for a long while… maybe while on leave I’ll come back and visit… although many of my friends are probably going to be off somewhere else in their own assignments.

>make oneself presentable.
Alright… What I was wearing last night is nowhere near presentable, too many stains from different sources. I’ll have to just have to improvise and mix my uniform and my backup stuff…

>Just graduated and already given an off-world assignment?
As I said, that was to be expected… there aren’t many assignments available within the New Stockholm system, other than the local garrison and militia. And while I take pride in my accomplishments, I wasn’t necessarily top of my class… specially the last year…

I heard a rumor that the alliance might also be getting ready to properly secure the periphery colonies and finally have some proper presence there, rather than the few patrols and militias… of course, all I have is rumors… and it could very well be true, and still be on the planning phase…

>And he couldn't give details over voicemail? Must be sensitive.
That’s a possibility… Though most likely he learnt of my assignment, and decided to take it upon himself to let me know of it, as an excuse to just congratulate me… he… always did things that way…

Since he’s a general, way up in the ladder, and he’s my father too, it’s possible that to avoid conflicts he’s trying to stay away for the time being, and let the chain of command do its thing… I already had some troubles with some of my classmates being suspicious of me and my relationship with someone so high up.

Granted, I’m not the only one who had ties and history with the military… but I still remembered the rumors, which all seemed to be targeted towards me specifically...

… Ok, shirt check, trenchcoat… beret… insignias… yeah everything seems to be in order… Just need to wash my face on the way out and I should be good… what time is it?

… Crab! I almost forgot to get my pad! What’s going on with me today?

… Alright… after quickly walking my way through the whole campus… dodging other cadets leaving their class and rushing to the next… and other recently graduated cadets seemingly crowding towards the offices of their respective superiors… I finally managed to get here… and seemingly in good time! I still have… about 5 minutes until 09:00… That should give me some time to take a breath…

… Now I do find it a bit weird that so many other graduates are at the door to my superior’s office, Colonel Santios… Even my friend Kadmian is here, browsing through his pad, seemingly waiting for something… Now, the only reason I can imagine for so many of them to be here, is that they haven’t gotten their respective assignment yet… Maybe I had more time that I initially thought…?

>… 

>>1120349
Well no reason not to talk to someone to find out what's going on. Maybe you weren't the only one to get called.

>>1120349
Maaaybe youre all getting assigned somewhere cool together.
Or there are only a couple of good assignments and you have to fight for them.
I dunno.
At least you can chat with your pal while you wait. Was he as drunk as you last night?

Did everybody get the same message?

ask your pal whats up

>>1120349
Greet and speak with birb, professionally. Find out what he's doing. Everyone is probably here for the same reason.

greet friend, ask where he thinks he'll be assigned.
