If I've seen it, then all of you have seen our enemy's artillery. We're outgunned if we do nothing.

I have a plan. It's not much of one, and it's risky, but if we take out some of their cannons then it will improve our chances of victory. With all this rain they should be easy for me to freeze, and once frozen, they'll be easy to shatter. We can ruin any gunpowder they keep close by too.

The problem is that as soon as one cannon is destroyed, our enemy will know to defend the rest that much better. From that point on it's only a matter of time until it becomes an impossible task. I want to take out as many as we can before then.

So I'm looking for some cannon killers.

My location is set to public. If you're willing to help, come and join me.

@MAXIMUMTIGER Location noted. Approaching.

Not as ghost. Still alive.

[handtowels]

@MINIMALCAT Are you okay? When did you return?

[hakanai]

@MAXIMUMTIGER There was a delay. Had to make a break for it at sunrise.

No injury. Just fever. I said I'd get sick.

[handtowels]

@MINIMALCAT Would it have pained you to be wrong for once? Next time don't curse yourself.

[hakanai]

@MAXIMUMTIGER Result of my face being permanently bare? Cursing myself.

Don't fuss until after.

[handtowels]

@MINIMALCAT You're heading into battle with a fever and no rest. There's no way you're escaping some fussing.

As soon as you get here I'm putting a chilled handtowel under your hat.

[hakanai]

@MAXIMUMTIGER Be fine until battle is done. Then collapse.

I'll accept your luxury though.

[handtowels]

@MINIMALCAT Good. I'll be ready to carry you back, in that case.

[hakanai]

@MAXIMUMTIGER You're a horse for me now? How sweet.

[handtowels]

@MINIMALCAT I'm one if you need one.

[hakanai]

@MAXIMUMTIGER You may regret saying that, my friend.

[handtowels]

@MINIMALCAT Heh. I doubt it. I do not care what anyone else thinks.

[hakanai]

@MAXIMUMTIGER Not even me?

[handtowels]

@MINIMALCAT Idiot. Since when have you been 'anyone else' to me, Yoshitsugu?

[hakanai]

@MAXIMUMTIGER Then I have to repeat: you may regret saying that, my friend.

>>@TRENTCOAT

@MAXIMUMTIGER oh hey its ice horse cart guy isnt it. this is the hat stealer

@MAXIMUMTIGER hey whats up with the tigers. do you have some tiger tatts 🤞

@MAXIMUMTIGER anyway ill be there

[handtowels]

@TRENTCOAT My name is Takatora.

@TRENTCOAT If I did they'd be tattered by now. It's probably my name.

@TRENTCOAT Great to have you.

[thingpuncher]

@MAXIMUMTIGER im guessing that has something to do with Japanese

@MAXIMUMTIGER which i dont speak btw

@MAXIMUMTIGER see u on the field. ill b the one covered in blood ❤

[handtowels]

@TRENTCOAT You're a step ahead for not thinking I'm Chinese. The character for tora can be read as tiger. Though you could say I'm striped.

@TRENTCOAT Need a hand towel for that?

[thingpuncher]

@MAXIMUMTIGER gimme some credit here i used to live in san fran

@MAXIMUMTIGER the kid i used to get coffee from said my name was ミッドナイター

@MAXIMUMTIGER still doesn't explain the username but you do you soldier

@MAXIMUMTIGER and congrats thats officially the weirdest come on ive gotten yet

[hakanai]

@TRENTCOAT @MAXIMUMTIGER Not a come on.

@TRENTCOAT @MAXIMUMTIGER When he offers you his longest, thickest handtowel? Then you know it is.

[thingpuncher]

@MAXIMUMTIGER @MINIMALCAT holy shit you match

@MAXIMUMTIGER @MINIMALCAT i hope u 2 enjoyed the honeymoon

[handtowels]

@MINIMALCAT @TRENTCOAT Seriously? Don't besmirch the noble hand towel.

@MINIMALCAT @TRENTCOAT What's a honeymoon?

[hakanai]

@MAXIMUMTIGER @TRENTCOAT I'm curious about that as well.

@MAXIMUMTIGER @TRENTCOAT Though I suspect I know what it's related to considering we so cutely match, Takatora.

[thingpuncher]

@MAXIMUMTIGER @MINIMALCAT where did they find u jfc

@MAXIMUMTIGER @MINIMALCAT its what happens after 2 ppl who love each other very much get married

@MAXIMUMTIGER @MINIMALCAT do they have marriage on planet hand towel

[handtowels]

@MINIMALCAT @TRENTCOAT Don't be ridiculous.

[Please, Yoshitsugu. Don't rat out his in-person flustering.]

[thingpuncher]

@MAXIMUMTIGER @MINIMALCAT im being completely fucking serious

[handtowels]

@MINIMALCAT @TRENTCOAT We're not married.

[JUST GETTING THAT IN THERE BEFORE YOSHITSUGU SAYS OTHERWISE.]

[thingpuncher]

@MAXIMUMTIGER @MINIMALCAT whens the wedding

[hakanai]

@MAXIMUMTIGER @TRENTCOAT I half suspected he planned it on the multiple occasions he 'pretended' to pass out so he could lay his head in my lap.

[Sorry, Takatora, blame the flow but this is just the right opportunity to bring that up. ♥]

[thingpuncher]

@MAXIMUMTIGER @MINIMALCAT rooting 4 u 2 crazy kids

[lonelywar]

[He's certainly curious about how freezing so many large devices would be "easy" to do, but he decides to not ask. It might be better to see with his own eyes.]

>>@BOARING

@MAXIMUMTIGER Disarming them of their strongest weapons will do much for the tide of this battle. I will be there as well.

[handtowels]

@BOARING Great. I don't know how many we'll manage, but each one counts.

[lonelywar]

@MAXIMUMTIGER I think you are correct in thinking that they will defend the ones still remaining once the first are taken down.

But perhaps we can organize a simultaneous strike at multiple points across their line of artillery, so we can use whatever confusion we cause to our advantage.

[handtowels]

@BOARING That's a decent idea. Our French allies might even make use it.

[courtintrigue]

>>@BASICWITCH

@MAXIMUMTIGER I have a talent for elemental magic.

[ The day stretches her mana to its limits, but she is not so drained that she cannot freeze a cannon. COST may not yet have earned -- may never earn -- her loyalty, but at this point she will not see the effort she has made amount to nothing. Here and now their enemy is hers. ]

I will find you.

[handtowels]

@BASICWITCH Then we're lucky to have your help. Ice is all I can do, but it's more than enough.

[mylawn]

>>@DIEDHARD

@MAXIMUMTIGER Think I can help you with that. You just need some equipment smashed up?

[handtowels]

@DIEDHARD That's right. We'll be glad to have you.

[mylawn]

@MAXIMUMTIGER I'll head to your location.

[handtowels]

@DIEDHARD Great.

[alsohawkeye]

>>@HAWKWARD

@MAXIMUMTIGER if you need someone to set off their gunpowder stores i've got a musket or flaming arrows

@MAXIMUMTIGER if they're close enough that'd blow up a frozen cannon right?

@MAXIMUMTIGER if not i'll help some other way if i can but straight up smashing things isn't really my specialty

[handtowels]

@HAWKWARD Flaming arrows in this rain? Better save them. A musket should work.

@HAWKWARD We'll be glad to have your help.
