"There was Mica. And Chrissa. Sniper and shrapnel, respectively. As for morals... I do have some backbone. I made sure they knew my limits. After the third mental breakdown, they wised up and kept me on the intel side of things. But yeah. I... I killed people who didn't deserve it. I'm not proud of it." -
"Wasn't so bad. Had a roof, had regular meals. Soldiering's rough work, yes. But you don't get much of a choice these days."
-
"Depends on what you mean. Urban's the worst, no sightlines. Too many civvies, too many buildings. Open, you've got no cover, but nobody gets hurt 'cept yourself. As for missions with people." He shakes his head slightly. "I didn't break my hand and get the bone structure reinforced for nothing."

Martin hugs back. It feels nice. He hasn't been hugged in a while.
-
"That would be really nice, actually."
-
"Thanks. I figured that out shorthand, though. All of you, you're good people." Martin makes a vague gesture encompassing the tent. "But still. Thanks."
-
"Stuff I'm not proud of. Stuff I am proud of. Stuff I'm ambivalent on. It's a grab bag." And the things he never wants to think about again.
-
"Well, I was getting flirted with, but I had a script, I guess you could call it. And whatever the brass needed. Most of it's classified."
-
"Not outside of a mission. And we didn't have many that were in populated areas. Or, well, areas that weren't war zones."
-
"A hard system reset." What's the word, what's the word... "It's a way of restarting a device. We use a lot of tech slang where I'm from. So the uh, the second it takes me to process what to do when you're flirting, we call that a HSR."
-
"I wouldn't call it panic, more a... hard system reset." That wasn't the term Jaya had used, but someone had definitely called it that.
-
"I think so, yes."
-
"I dunno, I'm not social, I guess. I've spent most of my life around the same twenty people, and we never had time to go over how to respond to a lot of stuff off-mission."
-
"I'm not, I just. Don't know how to? I don't know. I had a weird childhood." That's understating it. "Never had time to do a lot of 'normal' things."

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
Spren of Kindness replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
We had to make a LEGO city and come up with a government, legal system, etc. While I was building the city, my teammates wrote the laws. The laws boil down to three words: Communism and drugs. It was an... interesting experience. -
"No." At least, he doesn't think so.
-
"Yeah." What does he do now? After a moment of deliberation, he sits down at the table and stares at it.

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

When you have to make a society with some friends for a project, and when you finish, all you can think of is how ashamed Dalinar would be. -
"Dinner seems more plausible." Wait. Did he just agree to a date?
-
"Right. Uh. Then I guess yeah? If we're not dying on a mountainside. Hanging out sounds nice?"
-
"No one...?" That's probably not true. Naming conventions change a lot. "I just meant that there's a war, so I'm probably busy. Not because I'm trying to avoid you!" Well, now he's blundering, "just because schedules get unpredictable."
-
"Uh. Duty?" He doesn't remember the dodges he and Reese used for situations like this.
-
Martin feels his face go the same shade as it had when when he ate a habenero pepper a few years back on a dare. "Afraid I'm booked until the end of the war," he says a little stiffly.
-
"I see." He must have lost a day somewhere. Wait, where did Ayia find the time for a date in the middle of all this?
-
"Oh, it must be Tuesday, then."
