No decent person wants a war. However, after the carnival's not-so-Grand Finale, we may not have much of a say in the matter. I propose a spot of basic training. It won't be the first boot camp I've supervised.

[ she exhales and steadies her attention on the device. revealing this sliver of herself is easier than she'd anticipated. it helps, perhaps, that she's shared elements of her story with some acquaintances and friends. details, doled out slowly and in more personal conversations. either way, she volunteers nothing else about her relevant work experience unless asked. ]

If you've never seen combat before, I can show you the fundamentals. If you have, then there is no harm in a refresher. Participation is voluntary. My aim isn't to make soldiers, but to make damn certain we're as ready as we can be. Because there is wisdom in arming yourself with tools you hope won't ever have to use.

We'll begin with a focus on preparedness, on physical conditioning, and on self-defense. Morning through noon, Monday through Saturday, at 0800. The grassy field by the Checkerboard Hills. Come every day, every second day, every third or fourth if you like. But don't you dare be late; I won't tolerate tardiness.

[ and then she waits, leaving the feed open and steeling herself for inevitable conversation. sharp-eyed observers might realize this is the first time peggy carter has addressed the network publicly since her arrival. and back then, ten months ago, it had been via text only. it seems the threat of a war on the horizon has turned her uncommonly chatty. ]

[What a week it's been. From peaceful spring carnival to a very sudden prep for war.

The subject of Peggy's broadcast isn't lighthearted in the slightest, but the elf still manages a grin, offering the other woman a slight tip of her chin in greeting.]


Can't imagine the fucks around here are only gonna hit us with the physical. If your crew wants some practice against real magic, I'll be there.

That's what I figure. Most folks around here don't even believe in it. [Which leaves Lup snorting, rolling her eyes up in feigned irritation. Even seeing her throw a few spells around doesn't seem to convince them otherwise, they're so stuck in their own beliefs.]

But if the bitch in charge made Wonderland or at least has any control over all the cray-cray shit that goes on around here, it just makes sense to think she'd have a bit of magic under her thumb, right? It'd do good to make sure folks are prepped for defendin' against it.

Cause let's get real. I could take out a pretty big portion of your army before anyone managed to take me out. My brother too. And if she's got our mirrors on her side...

[Lup hasn't caught sight of her own mirror in Wonderland yet, but if she were to ever appear, this war seems like the perfect opportunity to make a grand, fiery entrance.]

[Of the few that Lup's run into? Yeah, they are some bad news. And there's more, of course there's more. Lup considers bringing up her little condition, that if her mirror is the same way, they're really going to have to strategize, but decides against it.

They'll deal with that if it comes up.]


Whatever works for you. Might run easier in the afternoon if you plan on leaving everyone dead from drills early in the day, but like I said, I'm flexible. I'll chat with my brother and maybe some of the other magic users in this place, see what we can work out.

Bingo! My friends an' I've got experience with this crap, but me especially.
