Welcome to the second chapter of the story. I won't keep you long, but I do want to thank you for taking the time to read these, even if they aren't the best (in your opinion).

Anyways, I'll just leave you guys to it. Here's the next chapter.

Story 2: Karlsland Trio, Movie Plans, and a Script

About a week after dealing with the PR film for Fuso, everything went back into a regular pattern.

For Minna today, this current request she was looking at was a little…well, her words might describe it better.

"Hmm…" the red-haired Karlsland Witch said to herself as she looked at the request. "This is troublesome…"

"Something wrong, Minna?" Gertrud asked as she, Erica, and Roland stepped into Minna's office, the male Witch holding a cup of water in his right hand.

"Is headquarters asking too much of you again?" Erica added.

"Oh," Minna said as she looked up and saw her friends and the only male Witch on the team. "Trude, Erica, and Roland. What are you doing here?"

"We were just passing by after working Sage over and thought you looked troubled…" Gertrud told her.

"Yeah!" Erica agreed.

Roland took a quick sip of water and added in, "Pretty much."

"Oh, thank you for caring," Minna said nicely before she gave off a slight frown. "Well, yes. As a matter of fact, they're asking for too much again…"

Instantly, the other two Karlsland Witches tried guessing the problem.

"They want us, the Five Hundred and First, to fight the counteroffensive on the continent by ourselves?" Gertrud tried.

"They've made a drastic decrease in our budget?" Erica chimed in.

"They want to disband us?"

"No, no," Minna inserted quickly as she shook her shook her head. "Nothing like that. They…actually want to make a movie about us."

Roland blinked as he asked, "Movie? Again?" The last time they had done something like this, it was the PR mentioned above.

"And you're the one in charge of making it?" Erica quizzed.

"Of course not!" Minna said before she gave off a sigh. "You know how there was a group of people here from Fuso not very long ago who were making a propaganda film, right?"

"Ah, yeah," Gertrud answered. "The one where Miyafuji was going to have the leading role?"

Erica gave off a laugh as she added, "But Miyafuji was so nervous I think everything they filmed were outtakes."

"And the Neuroi attacked us in the middle of shooting it, so it can't have turned out very well…" During the filming, the alarm for an inbound Neuroi had rang, making everyone alert (Roland, who had decided to take a brief nap until it got to a part he needed to be in, had been jarred awake…and was rather cranky[1]). "I'm a little worried."

"You know," Roland said as he remembered something. "I think you asked the crew to send you a copy of the film."

Gertrud froze up before she looked at the male Witch. "Y-you dummkoph, that was to…" The Karlsland captain paused briefly, like she was avoiding saying the natural sentence that would have left her mouth. "…ensure that none of our secrets were accidentally caught on the film!"

"Really~?" Erica teased as she prodded Gertrud in the side gently. "I wonder…"

"Anyways, continue, ma'am," Roland told Minna.

"Thanks," the commander replied. "Anyways, the Ministry of Propaganda back home heard rumors about the film, so now they think we should make one on our own with a Karlslander in the leading role. Flight Lieutenant Ruspoli will come here to shoot some flight scenes."

"Oh, the famous Flight Lieutenant Ruspoli, the president of the Romagnan Air Force's film club?" Gertrud asked.

Roland looked confused as he asked, "Ruspoli[2]?"

"The one who specializes in angles showing butts, right?" Erica added.

"That's inevitable when you fly behind someone else!" Gertrud snapped as she gave off a slight blush. Roland had her beat by a mile (not literally), his entire face red in embarrassment.

"Yeah, but it's possible to fly beside someone too, right?"

"No, I read in a newspaper that 'it has to be from that angle to create a shot with real impact'."

"Why are we talking about the angle of a camera in relations to a person's ass?" Roland asked, stunned and baffled by the conversation.

"Oh, come on," Erica added as she rested her left arm on his right shoulder. "You have to admit that you'd enjoy watching something like that, right? Especially if it's Commander Minna in that position, huh?"

If Roland could blush any more then he'd be akin to a cartoon character who sounded like a whistle after eating something really spicy. "No comment."

"I see," Minna said with a blush on her face (given her name being used as an example in Erica's statement to Roland). "That's how a true soldier thinks!"

"Really?" the lieutenants asked simultaneously.

"Yes." Minna nodded her head as she stood up and placed her left fist on her chest gently. "I think it's very important to report what is going on out on the front to our homeland and to Liberion. We must tell everyone what is going on here in Europe and unite the world in our efforts."

"…That's a lofty goal," Roland replied. "But it's not an impossible one."

"So what kind of movie are they making?" Erica decided to ask.

"Well, it's going to be about us," Gertrud reasoned, "so surely it will show our exemplary, orderly, everyday lives. Our strict and stoic way of living…"

"…Our love for little sisters, a male Witch fainting around here…" Erica deadpanned.

Gertrud had heard her and had picked up on her suggestion. "Right, right! How we take care of our little sisters, about the man who keeps fainting around here…" She then blinked in shock. "Wait! What are you making me say?"

"You're the one who said it." Erica gave off an innocent grin.

"Um…" Minna and Roland both said. While the male Witch was a little irked that Erica had said something about him like that, she did bring up a good point: as the only male Witch on the base, he had little experience on life on a team of nothing but girls.

"If you're going to be like that," Gertrud countered, "I'll make you clean your room when you have time off, wake you up on time in the morning, and have you undergo training like Roland!"

"You don't even do half of that list with me!" Roland snapped. Then again, the Karlsland captain seemed to get some satisfaction in his training, if only because he actually did them.

"What?" Erica said, surprised. "I don't want to!"

"Erica, all you ever do is sleep," Gertrud pointed out. "Are you sure your skills haven't grown dull?"

"Come on! As long as I do what I'm here to do, it's fine, isn't it? Besides, I do handle mock dogfights with Roland every now and then."

"Are you three even listening to what I'm saying?" Minna asked in a stern tone.

"Oh, sorry!" Gertrud said as she looked at the commander.

"Sorry, I forgot!" Erica added as she followed suit.

"So sorry!" Roland included as he repeated their movements.

"Really…you two get along a little too well sometimes…" Minna commented as she looked at Erica and Gertrud before she gave off a sigh.

"So what about the script and such?" the Karlsland captain quizzed.

"They haven't sent us it yet, but we have received a list of the songs." Minna picked up a piece of paper off her desk.

"Let me see! Let me see!" Erica said as she snatched the paper from the commander and looked through the song list, Gertrud joining her.

"Oh," Gertrud said as she found one song in particular. "Erica, do you want to try singing this?"

"Let me see?" Erica looked at the song her teammate selected and started humming…

XXXXXXXXXX

"Erica…" Gertrud replied as she and the blond-haired lieutenant finished their song. "I can't believe that I would hear the words 'clean and orderly' ever coming out of your mouth…" Evidently, part of the song had that phrase in it. At least, Roland could only assume so.

"So?" Erica told her. "It's not like I'm the one keeping things clean and orderly…"

"Really…" Minna began.

"I have to agree with Hartmann," Roland added. "I didn't really hear the words attributed to her."

"Anyways," Gertrud said to bring them back on topic, "what kind of movie would you like to make, Minna?"

"Let me think…" Minna said as she gave it some thought. "What about something like this?" She reached into a drawer on her desk and pulled out a piece of paper with a script she had obviously scribbled out before she started reading it aloud, the others gathering around to read with her…

XXXXXXXXXX

People from the now Neuroi-controlled Gallia were gathering in Casablanca in Africa in order to continue to Liberion, where they were going to seek refuge…

"I think I've seen a movie like this somewhere…" Erica commented.

Here also lies a café, "Liberion", which is managed by former Witches who still suffer from the wars they fought in the past.

"I'm sure I've seen this somewhere…" Erica added as she was reading the script.

"Although there are as many shops in this world as there are stars, she stepped into mine…" Gertrud read.

Roland looked at the first few lines and, noting his name, asked, "Why am I in this?"

"Just shut up and read it."

"Alright, alright, sheesh…"

"Where were you last night?" Minna's character said as she and Roland's were inside the café mentioned by the commander's opening words.

"That's so long ago, I don't remember," Roland's character replied as he shook his head.

"Will I ever see you again?"

"I never make plans that far ahead."

"You'd have to have a screw loose to say something like that!" Erica inserted.

Roland had no idea what was going on, but somehow he felt that the script reminded him of a movie back in his world…a movie he had never seen before yet was sure was like the one Minna had written up.

"I love you so much!" Minna's character said as she gave Roland's character a hug. "And…I really hate this war." She let go of the man. "Why is the world so strange? It feels as if anything can happen…"

"You're quite right…" Roland's character lifted a shot of whiskey from the table as if ready to give a toast. "A toast to your beautiful eyes!"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Erica quizzed, "…'A toast to your beautiful eyes'?"

"What will happen to us?" Minna's character asked, unsure about their situation.

"We'll be fine," Roland's character assured her. "We will always have our memories of Berlin…"

XXXXXXXXXX

"But hey," Erica concluded as the script was done being read so far, "don't you think these lines are a little creepy?"

"You think so?" Minna asked as she looked at the script carefully.

"I could make a script for you if you need it, commander," Roland told her. "I like creative writing, so it's not going to be a bother for me."

"Anyways, Minna!" Erica shouted as she clapped her hands together. "Sing a song for us!"

"'As Time Goes By'?" Minna asked.

Roland gave himself a face palm as he realized what the script looked like it could have been based on. Maybe it was because of the song Minna had just named.

"God…" he said to himself.

"No," Gertrud replied. "I think you should sing something else."

"Then I'll take one from the ones that we just got…" Minna said as she took the list of songs from the girls and read through it herself.

"Oh?" Erica asked. "You had practiced them already?"

Minna gave off a nervous chuckle as she continued looking. Soon, she found a song and started singing…

XXXXXXXXXX

"Hmm…" Gertrud said as they watched Minna finish her song. "Minna really is great at singing."

"I agree," Roland said, awestruck.

"It's nice to hear songs you've heard a lot before, but it's also nice to hear new ones sometimes," Erica commented. "Everyone in the Five Hundred and First should release a record together!"

Ironically, Roland felt like they already did that in Japan back in his world. May be because of the filming[3] he had done with Eila and Sanya (all he did was shrug his shoulders like he didn't give a care in the background; also, afterwards he had been asked to make a face palm when it came to Francesca's and Charlotte's turn).

"I think that would be a little difficult…" Minna said carefully.

"What about a radio show then?" Gertrud tried next. "You know, to cheer up the Witches and soldiers on the other fronts, and also for the sake of all civilians living under the Neuroi threat?"

Roland finished what was left of his cup of water and replied with, "Hey, I'm going to pop back into the kitchen and get some more to drink. Anyone thirsty?"

"Can you bring us some water?" Minna asked.

"Can do." Roland left the room to go on his quest.

To Gertrud, the commander added, "But that's why we're making this film."

"Oh, right," Erica admitted. "But I haven't met my sister Ursula for quite some time, so it would be nice to be on the radio or something because I would like to tell her how we're doing over here. Now that I think about it, Roland's got that radio of his[4]…"

"Aren't you sending her letters?" Gertrud asked the blond Karlsland lieutenant.

"I did, but it just came back. Must be tough in Suomos…"

"From what I've heard, it's pretty calm over there at the moment…" Minna noted.

"I've just gotten a book sent to me from over there once. I haven't gotten anything else since…"

"It could be censored…" Gertrud said.

"Why?!" Erica was surprised. "Who would do something like…" She then realized one person in particular who would do a stunt like that. "Oh."

"Yes, I can think of one person…" Minna said with a slight growl in her voice.

"Yeah, I wouldn't put it behind that limey General[5]…" Gertrud commented with a bigger growl.

"I can't believe someone would steal a poor little girl's letter and read it like that!" Erica added in anger.

"I'm surprised that he tried making Sage a deal. If the lieutenant had taken him up on it…unforgiveable!"

"What are you doing, Erica?" a new voice asked innocently.

Erica blinked as she recognized the voice.

"Uh…" she started, trying to speak the name she wanted to say. "Uh…Uh…"

"Witch?" Minna tried guessing (she and Gertrud were baffled by their teammate's odd reaction).

"Wing?" the Karlsland captain said next.

"Unter den Linden?" Ursula asked as she stepped into the office.

"Ursula?!" Erica asked, surprised, before she raced up to her twin sister and gave her a hug.

"Ursula?" Gertrud asked as she looked at the newcomer. "What?! Your little sister?!"

"What are you doing here?" Erica directed this at Ursula as she let go of her twin sister.

"She's here to deliver a new weapon," Minna explained, Ursula nodding in agreement.

"I'm involved in developing a new weapon back in our homeland," Ursula continued. "I took the opportunity to drop by while delivering it."

"I've been really worried about you!" Erica told her sister. "I was concerned a little bookworm like you might not be able to fight in a war like this. I've been really, really worried!"

"E-Erica…"

"I know how cold it is in Suomus, so I was afraid you might have a hard time over there since I know you're the type who likes to sit in front of a warm fire and read books... And I was afraid you might not be treated well by the other people in your unit, and such!"

"Yes, yes!" Gertrud said quickly. "This is how a true older sister should act!"

"I had no idea that's how you saw it…" Ursula admitted.

"This is a wonderful example of love between sisters!" Minna inserted cheerfully.

"Now that you're here," Erica concluded, "I'm sure my room will become tidy!"

Ursula lowered her eyebrows as she gave off a sigh and said, "I knew it…"

"What?" Minna asked, confused. "That's what you have to say…?"

"Anyways…" Ursula looked at Gertrud. "Can you let us hear you sing please, Captain Barkhorn?"

"What makes you ask that all of a sudden?" Gertrud asked, baffled.

"Well, I heard Wing Commander Minna and Erica sing when I was hiding before, so now you're the only one left."

"O-oh…" Minna said, slightly embarrassed. "You heard us?"

"Yes, and they've asked for my opinion on who I think should sing the movie's theme song, so…"

"I thought you were here to deliver a weapon?" Erica asked.

"That is part of my mission, but making this movie is another thing I've been ordered to do."

Gertrud sighed as she said, "If that's the case, I guess I'll just have to do it. Well then…" She was greeted with the others clapping their hands, and the Karlsland captain blushed a little. "You're making me blush…"

XXXXXXXXXX

Once Gertrud finished singing her song, she was greeted with applause.

"Well done!" Minna congratulated.

"Great, Trude!" Erica added.

"Y-you really think so?" Gertrud asked, a little nervous.

"Yes," Minna replied, "you were really great!"

"I think everyone can handle the singing parts, then…" Ursula noted.

Trude often sings to her little sister after all!" Erica mentioned.

"Hey, Erica!" Gertrud said, shocked that the blond-haired lieutenant had stated that fact. "That's…"

"But that's great!" Minna said quickly. "Nothing to be ashamed of."

"Well then, I have to go," Ursula said as she turned to leave.

"Eh?" Erica asked, confused. "You're going already?"

"Why not stay here for a few days…?" Minna tried.

"Yes!" Gertrud added quickly. "I thought I'd introduce you to Chris and Miyafuji…"

Ursula shook her head and said, "No, I'm sorry, but I have my orders."

Minna sighed as she replied with, "Well…I guess there's nothing we can do about it, then."

"I promise I'll go and see you next time," Erica promised before a thought entered her mind. "Wait, where are you stationed now?"

"Erica, you've forgotten already?" Ursula asked. When her sister nodded her head yes, she added, "I work for the Ministry of Science now."

"Oh right…It'll be difficult for me to go see you then…"

"It's alright. I'll come here again."

"I see," Gertrud said as she nodded her head in agreement. "I'll let you meet Chris and the others then."

"Oh yes. I forgot…" Ursula reached into one of her breast pockets and pulled out a neatly-folded piece of paper. "…there's another song."

"Eh?" Erica asked, baffled. "There is?"

"It's a chorus version of the proposed theme song."

"Let me see?" Gertrud asked as she took the paper from Ursula and opened it. She was joined by Minna and Erica as she read the contents.

"Oh, I think we can do this!" Minna said cheerfully as she cleared her throat.

XXXXXXXXXX

When Roland had entered the room with a tray of four glasses of water balanced in his right hand like he was a waiter, he had found the girls in the middle of singing a song. To be respectful, he waited until they finished and noticed him.

"Where were you, Roland?" Gertrud asked as the girls looked at him. "You've missed out on a special visit."

"If it's what I think it is then please keep it between you girls," the male Witch ad-libbed as he set the tray on Minna's desk.

"So what held you up?" Minna asked. "Also, why are you wet?" Roland's upper body looked like he had gotten into the bath and had yet to finish drying off. Even his hair looked a little wet still.

"…You're better off not asking…" Roland sighed.

"Was it bad?"

"Not bad so much as it was…weird…anyways, who's thirsty?"

The girls came over and grabbed a glass, drinking the entire content of their respective cups before setting them back down gently. Roland took his and was about to drink it before he noticed a piece of paper one would use for memos.

"What's this?" the male Witch asked as he grabbed the memo and looked at it.

"A memo?" Gertrud asked as she took the memo from Roland and examined it herself.

"My sister's name is on it," Erica noted as she came over to inspect it as well.

"Will you let me take a look?" Minna asked.

"Here you go." The Karlsland lieutenant handed the memo over to the commander.

"Thanks. Let's see…'Proposal for the plot of the propaganda movie involving the Five Hundred and First Joint Fighter Wing'."

"Is there anything else besides that?" Roland asked out of curiosity.

"Hmm?" Minna turned the memo over to look at the back. "It's…blank?"

"Blank?"

"In other words, she has no idea about the movie's plot?" Gertrud asked.

"Plot? What happened while I was gone?"

"That's what it looks like…" Minna said as she re-examined the memo, front and back.

"Aww!" Erica said in disappointment.

"Well, she probably just used the movie as a pretext to come here and see us," Gertrud offered as an explanation.

"What the hell are you three talking about, or do I not want to know?" Roland asked, irritated.

The girls looked at each other before they stared at Roland.

If Ursula had been listening to Minna and Erica sing their songs, then how come no mention of the male Witch had been made when they were talking?

"What?" the male Witch in question asked, a little desperate for an answer.

"You probably don't want to know," Gertrud told her. "Anyways, I'm sure that's why she came over!"

"Oh?" Erica asked as she looked back at Minna's desk and found a second piece of paper sticking out from under the tray Roland had brought. Pulling it out gently, she looked at it. "There's another song here."

"Really?" Gertrud looked surprised. "What's it called?"

"Hmm…'Win! Witches!'[6]"

"Isn't that the theme song for another movie?" Minna asked.

"Oh yes…" Gertrud said as she remembered something. "I think I saw it in an old cinema in my hometown."

"That Dee-something movie, right?" Erica quizzed.

"Dee-Three Eighty-Eight!" Minna said in realization. "That's right!"

"Guy confused over here," Roland admitted.

"Yeah, that song was catchy," Gertrud replied to Minna's comment. "I remember it well."

"How did it go again?" Erica asked.

"Something like…" Minna started before she hummed a bit of the song they were talking about.

"Oh yes! That's right! I remember it now! Um…" Erica looked at the lyrics and read out some of the words. "Yoshika's are small like beans, Shirley's are too big like pumpkins, Lynne is an ace in some sense, nice color, nice tone, Barkhorn! Lucchini won't grow bigger even if she sleeps, Minna and the Squadron Leader is hm-hm-hm-hmm-hmm, the seniority system puts you in place! The only thing on Perrine that's big is her ego, white soft skin, impregnable, Eila is Sanya's General Winter!"

"That's not right at all!" Gertrud snapped as she looked at the lyrics herself.

"It's not?" Erica looked confused.

Roland, while he was glad that no mention of him had been made in that segment, was a little irked that he was left out. Then again, he knew that he was in a world where he never existed.

Or they preferred the girls handling the songs at this point. It was so hard considering that the songs he heard Eila, Sanya, Minna, Erica, and Gertrud (with the exception of what the Suomos Witch later revealed was titled "Bookmark Ahead") had never reached his ears before now.

Also, they sung perfect Fuso vocals (considering that they were not of Fuso descent).

"So how does it go?" he asked Minna, the one who most likely knew the lyrics herself.

"It actually goes like this…" Minna explained before she sung the original version of the song in question.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Things like this really cheer you up!" Gertrud admitted as the girls finished up their song.

"They do, don't they?" Erica agreed.

"Well, even though I wasn't singing along, I enjoyed listening to you girls sing," Roland complimented.

"I still prefer romances over the kind of songs about fighting," Minna replied as she walked over to her desk and picked up her script again.

"Didn't we just do that?" Roland asked, confused.

"Ah!" Erica said as she jumped and took Minna's left side. "I want to try this time!"

"Okay," Minna said as she looked at the script for the last part they had been on. "Let's see…hmm…"

XXXXXXXXX

"Wait!" Minna's character exclaimed. "I've always loved you! I was such a fool…and didn't realize you love me back! Please believe me! You do love me, don't you?"

"I believe you," the character originally intended for Roland (now being played by Erica) said in return. "But…what about Ash?"

"I didn't…really love him."

This caught Gertrud's attention big-time.

"W-What?!" the Karlsland captain exclaimed.

"The only thing I'm sure of now is that I love you," Minna's character continued.

"I really need some rest…" Erica's character said. Because this was said more as an ad-lib by the actor, this didn't match with the setting so far. "I need a bed."

"I don't think I remember that line…" Gertrud stated as she looked at Roland, who looked confused.

"You think I've got any clue?" he told her. "I've never seen the movie this is supposed to be based on."

Erica gave off a yawn as she added in, "It's really horrible to not get some sleep."

"If you go, where shall I go, what shall I do?!" Minna (hard to deny that she was really getting engrossed in the role at this point) asked.

"Just do as you please and you will be fine," Gertrud said for the out-of-control speaker (Roland's character).

The character in question gave off a yawn as Erica continued with, "We will go with the wind…" The character then left the scene.

"Don't go!" Minna pleaded. "I can't believe this! How do I make everyone come back?! I can't think about that right now! If I do, I'll go crazy! ("Almost beat you to it," Roland inserted.) Yes, I'll think about that tomorrow. Karlsland. Yes, I'll return home! I'll think of a way to bring them back when I've come home. Because…tomorrow is another day!"

XXXXXXXXXX

When Minna finished her line, she took a look at her surroundings and noticed that Erica and Gertrud had left already.

"O-oh?" she asked, surprised. "How come I'm all alone? Hello? Trude? Roland? Erica?" The commander panicked a bit. "Hello?! Trude! Roland! Erica!"

"Can you please not shout like that, ma'am?" Roland asked as he had been busy sitting behind Minna's desk, playing a quick game of Tic-Tac-Toe with himself.

"Oh, thank God you're still here, Roland. Where did the others go?"

"Hartmann went to go sleep, and Barkhorn…not sure. It is rather late, ma'am."

"What time is it anyways?"

"Almost nine."

"Oh. Well, we better be off to bed."

"Yeah. Sorry for sitting behind your desk for a while, Minna."

"That's alright. Though why were you playing a game by yourself?"

"Keeps the boredom away for a while."

"Ah."

XXXXXXXXXX

[1] Given that he had been on night patrol with Eila and Sanya before the filming, no one really blamed him. Still didn't really do much; the lieutenant was too busy fighting sleep and had shot the core once the others opened it up out of sheer luck because he had fallen asleep while pulling the trigger on his Browning HP.

[2] Sadly, Roland has yet to meet this Witch, and when he compiled a list in Romagna he failed to include her name, most likely because he had never met her and as such the name never showed up in his memories. Also, he hasn't met Heidemarie Schnaufer yet either.

[3] While we're on the topic of filming, if you want an exercise in imagining the ending credits for the anime if Roland had actually been in it, please feel free to do so. Just try not to make him faint because then he'll be out for the rest of the scenes. And if you want the author's take on it, just send him a PM and he'll send one back containing the idea.

[4] To put it simply, it's a radio he had found and had used for the previews of the events described in Strike Heroes. At least, he mentioned it in the preview for the "You're Not Alone" arc.

[5] Need I explain?

[6] According to the Strike Witches wiki where I found the transcript this is based on, this is based on a song called "Fleiger sind Siegers/Flyers are Victors".

XXXXXXXXXX

And that's the end of this chapter.

Let's see, what to talk about for this ending set of notes...ah! Guess some of the "set-up" I did in this chapter.

Re-reading this for some editing (and to see what younger me had typed up), there were two that I spotted. The first one was a reference to General Maloney and an offer. If I recall correctly, I was casually reading a story around at the time (I'm not sure which one it was off the top of my head, though I feel like I do know...), and I think something from it gave me an idea to put that line in. Though it could also have just been a Roland-referring filler line just as easily, I have had ideas inspired by others before (a certain moment in SH2 comes to mind since it was a combination of a story and my beta reader at the time), and I try to make sure that I think about the ideas I want to put out there. I'm not perfect with it (had to re-title one of my other stories because I accidentally used a name for a dimension that someone else was using. Also, if you happen to read this, sir/ma'am, it's fine. I wasn't aware of it, and I thank you for telling me so I can correct it as quickly as I can title-wise for my story), but I do try my best. Or guess tried my best when I was more active...

The second thing I spotted (and remember more vividly) was Roland himself.

And?

...Enough said. Sorry, that one I can't reveal just yet...

But yeah, for the first thing I noted, I might consider actually writing something up for it to flesh it out more, if I haven't already, but I might need a bit of time to think about it if I do. Since right now it could just be a sort of Noodle Incident...if it counts as one.

Anyways, I think I took enough of your time for this chapter. I'll see you in the next one right...now, I think.
