Ok a bit of a slower one this time and Remember to check below of Frenda's inspiration.
Tomoko woke up to the sun light pouring through the window stretching her arms to wake herself up, she looked around, Beurling wasn't in her bed, Tomoko got out of bed a went to check the bath room, when she couldn't see her their she went to the main room.
She saw Beurling sitting on one of the sofas with a cup of tea, she seemed to be fiddling with something, Tomoko walked up to Beurling and asked "Beurling?" Tomoko spoke unsteadily "Good morning" Beurling looked around "Good morning." Beurling spoke quietly before going back to the thing she was doing, Tomoko walked around see what Beurling was doing while asking "What are you doing?"
"Checking something." Beurling responded, Tomoko came up to the side of the sofa and saw what Beurling was checking it was one of her magazines.
"Theirs's nothing wrong with it, is there?" Tomoko asked sitting down next to Beurling but keeping a space between them.
"No, it's just I noticed you have one type of round per magazine." Beurling spoke as she handed the magazine back.
"Is that an issue?" Tomoko asked confused, she couldn't see how that was a problem.
"How do you know your range is good on your target?"
Tomoko was a bit confused by this question "When I hit the target?" she said puzzled, she was even more puzzled when Beurling sighed.
"So, you're basically firing enough bullets and hoping to hit the target?" Beurling asked exasperated.
"Try making a fire dust round every third round you fire." Tomoko looked a bit confused at the idea so Beurling carried on "When it's fired it will ignite and then you can see where the bullet lands so you know that's how far off you are." Tomoko had to admit it did have some merit to the idea.
Just then Maple walked in still in her night cloths by the look of things "Morning you two, how did you sleep ok?"
Tomoko was about to answer when Beurling cut in with a "Yeah fine."
"Good, glad to hear it, now I think I'll be making some tea and coffee for Frenda."
"She still not waking up on time again?" Tomoko asked.
"Yeah, unfortunately."
"You sure you don't want me to pour some water on her?" Beurling asked.
"No, I don't!" Maple spoke sternly.
Beurling threw her hands up in defence "Ok, it was just an idea."
The rest of the morning was followed up by the girls washing and getting dressed for the day, once they were all done Maple summoned them all to main room to talk about their team name and who would be leader.
"Ok, first things first we need a leader and team name." Maple spoke "Anyone want to volunteer?"
All the girls remained silent, Maple sighed and spoke again "OK, Tomoko do you want to be leader?"
"What?" Tomoko spoke horrified "No way!"
Beurling then chimed in "Does anyone here have any experience of leading a group or team before?"
Frenda and Tomoko shook their heads, Beurling then looked at Maple "Well?" Beurling asked.
"Well I have lead hunting groups for my village before." Maple spoke softly.
"Well then looks like your it."
"Huh?" Maple asked confused.
"Well, you did ok before in the settlement, you seem a natural to me"
"Well, I didn't want to just make myself leader if someone else wanted to." Maple spoke.
"Aw come on, Maple you'd be great." Frenda spoke grabbing Maples arm, like a kid whose mom had just offered a kid some sweets.
"Well, what about you Beurling, do you want to be leader"
Beurling looked Maple right in the eye before speaking "Never happening!"
"Well you do know the land and seem to be a capable fighter."
"Look Maple, I will not lead this or any other team period!" Beurling spoke "No offence to anyone though."
Maple let out a breath looking defeated "Well if your all ok with it, I'll be leader."
All three of the other girls nodded and Maple conceded "Ok you win, so what about this team name?"
"Well you're the leader you pick it." Frenda spoke.
Maple gave it some thought before speaking "Well no matter how you use our names they don't really make any word."
"How do you mean?" asked Tomoko.
Maple took put a piece of paper before writing out all four of their names "See, can't really make a team name with these can we?"
Frenda tried "Mist" before it was pointed there was no letter "I" in anyone's name to use.
Tomoko looked at the paper, before she even realised it, she found herself speaking "What about Misfit?" There was a brief moment of silence before Frenda broke it.
"I love it." Frenda spoke.
"Frenda, calm down." Maple sighed before speaking again "It works, not really what I would come up with, but it works, any objections?"
"Wait, you're not really going…" Tomoko was about to say before Frenda cut in.
"Oh, come on Tomoko, it's a good name." Tomoko was about to retort to this when Beurling cut in.
"Frenda's right Tomoko it is good, besides we all like it so don't be so down on yourself." Tomoko was a bit surprised that Beurling being supportive on this all she could manage was an "Ok." and a nod.
"Alright, team Misfit it is then." Maple spoke a smile "I'll go tell the teachers about this later."
"Good now that's done…" Beurling spoke but was interrupted by Frenda saying "Hold on did you just say I was right Beurling?"
"Leave it Frenda." Beurling spoke.
"Nope, I want you to hear you say it again."
"Only if you beat me." Beurling spoke as she got up to leave the room.
"Where are you going?" Maple asked.
"To find somewhere I can smoke."
"But we need to do a catalogue of our supplies." Maple countered "We need to know if we need more bullets and dust."
"Which I don't use." Beurling pointed out "So if you'll excuse me." she spoke leaving the room.
"She is such a strange one." Frenda spoke, which lead to Maple chastising her, while they talking Tomoko was just looking at the door where Beurling had gone, she was also wondering if she should reveal the nightmare to Maple at least. Tomoko was brought out of her thought process by Maple putting her hand on Tomoko's shoulder "Hey you ok?"
"Yeah, sorry, lost in thought."
"Ooh, Beurling got your mind wandering." Frenda teased.
"What Frenda!" Tomoko screeched "Why do you keep saying that?"
Frenda giggled "Relax, I'm just teasing, no need to get so worked up by it."
Tomoko suddenly realised she could feel her cheeks burning and heart quickened a bit, thankfully Maple then stepped in "Ok, that's enough." she spoke exasperated "Frenda, go check your ammo now!"
"Hey, you ok?" Maple asked Tomoko "Yeah, it's just, I don't know what it is about her."
"How do you mean?" Maple asked.
Tomoko shock her head "It's nothing, don't worry about it" Tomoko then went on to check her ammo. While she and the other two were checking their supplies, Tomoko was thinking about what it was about Beurling that made her head spin, she could see two sides to Beurling, one was rough, mean and cold and the other was brave, protective and dependable "Urgh, she is such a confusing one." Tomoko thought to herself, Tomoko gave up she would think on this another time. The rest of the morning was taken up by them checking their ammo and rounds.
By the time Beurling came back to the room, they had finished counting "I'm starving, don't suppose we can get something to eat, can we?" Frenda asked Beurling.
Beurling shock her head while sighing, before answering "The canteen is open now if you're wondering."
"Really, we're going now!" Frenda said running out the door
"I guess food would be nice, you coming Tomoko?" Maple asked, Tomoko nodded following Beurling to the canteen. Once they were at the canteen, they could see all the tables and benches set out and students eating, Maple, Frenda and Tomoko went up to get food while Beurling said she'd already eaten so only got a cup of tea once they had got all their food and picked a table the door they all sat down and began to dig in to their food.
Tomoko found the food tasty but the after taste was a bit odd, she also found the food's name's rather strange but she liked the food, about halfway through the food Frenda asked Beurling "What's with the names of the food, and the odd taste?"
"Do you know Vacuo food?" Beurling asked looking at the other three, as they ate the food. All of them shook their heads, Beurling sighed "I'll explain later." She spoke.
The other three looked at their food for a second before Frenda just went back to tucking in to it, Tomoko decided to follow suit, Maple however put hers to the side for a second as she needed to talk, she looked towards Beurling before speaking.
"Beurling you live here is their anywhere you know that can help use out with dust and ammo?"
Beurling sat her tea down before replying "I might, I'd have to give them a call first."
"Why would you need to call?" Frenda asked with a mouth full of food.
"Frenda don't talk with your mouth full." Maple sighed.
"They might be busy." Beurling replied "It shouldn't be an issue, but just to be sure."
"Understandable." Maple spoke "I want to go look around the school after so we can get a good idea of the layout." the others nodded.
After they had gone around the school Maple brought them all to the sofa's in their room saying she needed discuss something so all four were sat with a cup of tea each.
"Now, as your team leader I need to know what your semblances are, so I know how to make best use of them."
"Well what's yours?" Frenda asked, sitting next to Maple.
"I can see things far in the distance, sort of like a telescope." Maple responded "So, Frenda what's yours?"
"Explosive attacks!" Frenda said excitedly "When I hit with my fist or hammer it causes an explosion, also makes my eyes go completely red."
"You mean the green in your eyes goes red?" Tomoko asked having not seen them change the other night.
"No like the whole eye." Frenda said.
Maple nodded before turning her attention to Beurling who was sat opposite her "What about yours, it seemed quite the spectacular one to me?"
"It's increased hitting force, it doesn't make me stronger, it just increases the force I hit or kick with at the point of contact, the fire and lighting are just for show really it doesn't do anything.""It looked so cool though, you looked like some sort of human torch." Frenda spoke, Beurling was about to take a sip of her tea but paused at Frenda's comment.
"Well, it does prove useful if I need to scare people off, but don't worry it's harmless to me and everyone else." Maple nodded again "Ok Tomoko, now it's you, I've not seen you use yours; do you not have one?" Maple asked.
"No, I do it's just it's a bit complicated."
"Well it increases someone else's luck but makes mine worse."
"Sounds dangerous" Beurling said looking at Tomoko.
"Well that's why I'm better staying at the back."
"So, could you do it to all of us then?" Frenda asked.
"No sadly, it only works on one person and I need to do an aura connection with them."
"Aura connection?" Maple spoke confused "I need to connect my aura to theirs and it can only be one person, though it does mean I don't need to be near them or see them to use it." Tomoko explained.
"Ok, so who you going to use it on?" Frenda asked "I mean, you do intend to."
"Well, yeah, but I don't really know who?"
"Well I don't mind." Frenda spoke.
"Hold on Frenda, I think it should be Beurling" Maple spoke up.
"Why me?" Beurling asked and little surprised by the suggestion.
"Well first Tomoko's your partner and you have no range weapon so you'll need it more than Frenda and me." Maple explained, Frenda pouted, Beurling sighed before leaning back "Ok, if she wants to, but mind if we do it later?" Beurling spoke, taking a swig from her hip flask and taking a cigarette out, Tomoko nodded, Beurling left for her cigarette.
Once Beurling got back to the room it was getting dark, Frenda and Maple had gone off to inform the teacher of the team name, Tomoko was sat on the sofa, when Beurling walked back into the room Tomoko stood up.
"Beurling can we…?" Tomoko started to ask.
Beurling nodded "Ok, so what do we need to do?"
Tomoko motioned for Beurling to sit on the sofa so she was facing her, once Beurling was sitting Tomoko moved closer and gently placed her hands on the side of Beurling's face "Just relax and close your eyes, it won't hurt promise." Beurling looked a little hesitant but obeyed. Taking a deep breath, Tomoko followed and felt her aura tingle around her, Beurling's light green and Tomoko's white mixed at Tomoko's hands.
A moment later Tomoko started to see images in her mind, a tent, desert "Oh no, I forgot." Tomoko screamed at herself, the next thing she saw in her mind was an alley, then next was a girl with blonde hair look at her.
She then felt hands grab hers and pull them off Beurling's head, opening her eyes she could see Beurling with her face down shaking and breathing heavily, Tomoko swallowed "Beurling?" Beurling looked back up at her with eyes full of rage "What the hell was that?" she shouted.
"Sorry I forgot, I didn't…" Tomoko tried to explain, just then the door opened, looking over Tomoko could see Maple and Frenda standing in the door way. While Beurling continued to stare daggers at her.
"What's going on?" Maple asked, Beurling spoke first "Ask Tomoko." she stated before leaving to go to the shared room "Beurling, no, wait!" Tomoko spoke but Beurling ignored her shutting the door. Tomoko fell back onto the sofa hands on her face and grabbing some of her hair as she did, while screaming through gritted teeth at herself, "Idiot".
"Tomoko, what happened?" Maple asked kneeling beside her with Frenda standing behind Maple.
"I'm an idiot." she spoke, before recounting what happened before getting to the important part "I forgot to mention that I see some of the persons memories during the bonding, I can't help it or what I see." Tomoko spoke dejectedly.
"I see, do you want me to swap with you for tonight, or talk to her?" Maple asked.
"No." Tomoko spoke resigned "It's my mess, I'll try and talk to her." she got up and walked to the bed room.
When she got into the room and shut the door, she couldn't see Beurling but she could hear the shower, taking a seat at her desk waiting for Beurling. When Beurling opened the door and put her day clothes on the table, Tomoko stood up "Beurling?" Tomoko spoke uncertain, Beurling leaned forward to grab the desk sighing "What is it Tomoko?"
"Look, I'm sorry, I forgot about seeing your memories."
"It's done Tomoko, so forget it, did it work by the way?"
"I'm not sure I'd need to do it for longer to be fully sure."
Beurling sighed again looking at floor "Look I'm sorry too."
"Huh?" Tomoko was confused she wasn't expecting Beurling to be apologising.
"I said I'm sorry, I over reacted." Beurling took a breath to compose herself "Look, my past is something I want buried."
"Beurling…" Tomoko spoke not sure what she'd say next.
"Look it's been a long day, and I'm tired, so good night." Beurling spoke, softly almost defeated, she walked to her bed and climbed in without looking in Tomoko's direction. Tomoko stood watching all this and felt rather helpless, she wanted to say something but couldn't find any words to say so she got changed and went to bed as well "Good night." she spoke gently but got no reply.
Later that night Beurling had another nightmare and Tomoko had to wake her up again. "This is worse than last night" Tomoko thought to herself as she watched Beurling in a cold sweat trying to settle herself, this time Tomoko merely sat next to her not saying anything, she wasn't sure what to say, Beurling seemed to be ok with her keeping her hand on her shoulder so she stayed like this till Beurling fell asleep again, when she was she too went back to bed.
Ok so Frenda's name is really just me pick random names again.
Now her look, semblance and weapons came from three people.
So the canisters and semblance comes from the seventh doctor's assistant ACE who uses them and love of explosives, now the idea of using a hammer comes from the scene in one episode where ACE trashes a Dalek with a baseball bat (Seriously go look up ACE vs Darlek on youtube its great) Her look was also inspired by ACE's outfit in that episode.
Now the hammer folding into a box to fit on her lower back is a combination of Velvet's and Coco's weapons. The half circle magazine came from the French Chauchat machine gun it also makes a decent hand guard.
