[Taocow PBEM] Book 3 - Chapter XIV

[Kitsune]

[Alex]
Looking at Anne, Alex responds, "Not a true sniper but a markswoman 
myself. I have been working as the team's armorer as well. More of a 
ranger myself however. Pleased to make your acquaintance?" Her JA-12 is 
a pretty good sized rifle as well.

Any strange reaction out of her dagger?

The Coalition ranger can but shake her head. How can a good Coalition 
girl get involved with so much magic. She has heard of line ships and 
even seen pictures of them but has never encountered them. She has seen 
otehrs dress in as fantastic a clothing (ooc: I have a person who 
dresses in what is effectively a Napoleonic British Naval uniform)

"Hello captain, I do not understand why are going to see whales though," 
Alex responds (ooc: Don't think Wales has been used as a location in her 
presence before.)
