Live from 1943 - Video

[lightning_strike]

What in the world is this?

[Perrine pokes the screen a couple of times, frowning at it.] This isn't the radar. This is well beyond anything I've seen before...

[Reading more, she seemed to be twisting dials and poking things. The exterior is a very dated room, someone might recognize as being from 1944 in a military base. Still, she keeps fiddling with the machine and trying to get it to work.]

Why is it showing me this thing about ducks? What is this? [And she pokes it again a few times.]

[unknownrival]

I never thought of witches as using guns...

[Kiritsugu Emiya, eat your heart out.]

[lightning_strike]

Most of our weapons were designed for aircraft, so we use our magic to augment our strength. Here.

[Slowing the engine to a crawl, she held out Issei to try and hold onto the machinegun. It is actually really pretty heavy.]

[unknownrival]

[Issei tries to lift it a little.]

You're stronger than you look.

[lightning_strike]

[Taking it back, she reholstered the weapon back into its cradle, as she stepped out of her Strikers, the engine cutting.]

That's agumentive magic at work. Sanya's Fleigenhammer is even bigger than that.

[unknownrival]

I'll bet. They're quite impressive.

[lightning_strike]

They're designed primarily for power, and personal requirement. Barkhorn uses two heavy machineguns.

[unknownrival]

Two? How does she manage to lift both?

[lightning_strike]

Her powers lead into Super Strength. I've seen her hoist a steel girder over her head before. And throw it.

[unknownrival]

I wouldn't want to be on her bad side.

[lightning_strike]

She's got a strict side more than a bad side. She's Karslander. [Which was said in a matter of fact manner from the snooty Gallian.]

[unknownrival]

I don't know what that means. [What are place names.]

[lightning_strike]

Ah, well Karsland is a large country to the north-east of Gallia. Um, lets see... they did a lot of beer production in the past, their words are such as blitzkrieg for example and I know Erica has a fondness for chocolate which their country is fond of making too.

[unknownrival]

Ah, Germany. I'm not sure why all the names changed suddenly.

[lightning_strike]

For us, it's been like this for ages. Venecia, North and South Liberion, Karsland, Egypt, Britannia, Hispania, Gallia, Orussia... the list goes on.

[unknownrival]

I guess no matter the name, the countries stay the same. So it's not really important, just confusing.

[lightning_strike]

I suppose so. They have different names in your world I take it. Since you referred to Karsland as "Germany".

[And considering her world map was actually kind of different than usual maps it was something to be said.

[unknownrival]

I'll bring a map next time we see each other. We can compare that way.

[lightning_strike]

That would be appreciated. Now then, shall we continue our tour?

[unknownrival]

Please, lead on.

[lightning_strike]

All right, our facilities are this way then.

[unknownrival]

[He nods and follows wordlessly.

He's doing really well for a base of pantsless women. He's going to congratulate himself later.]

[lightning_strike]

[Incredibly well, even if the mechanics are watching wordlessly, some of them amused.]

[unknownrival]

[You'd think he wasn't supposed to be here or something. Oh wait.]

[lightning_strike]

[No doubt. And she'll keep pointing out stuff, and the view of the mainland and such.]

[unknownrival]

[It is a lovely view of an alien-infested continent.]
