[A weekend of lost memories - it sat poorly with her, especially when she went back over her notes and found them missing as well. The dates for the weekend were written in her hand, but anything she'd written had been erased. Or maybe she hadn't written anything. The most concerning thing was that now that the weekend had ended, several people had gone missing or returned. Two days was a long time to lose her bearings and it made her restless. Which was why she'd gone to the shop to look around for anything useful.

Last thing she expected was to find the glove and eyeglass set - something so useful just left here like it was a new toy to be experimented with by anyone in the village. Something about it drew her to using it, but after the first day and the headaches, she realized it was probably something that belonged to someone. Which is why a few days later, after the headaches settle, she asks the village.]

Agent Carter reporting in with a few questions for the village.

One: Has anyone lost a pair of these? [She holds up the sunglasses, labeled ARI on the side to the camera.] I located them in the shop - interesting technology you have. I'd like to return them, if you're inclined to receive them.

[It packs one hell of a punch anyway, and she does not want that anymore. Peggy rubs her temple as he sets the glasses down out of view.]

Two: Sparring partners - hand to hand combat, preferably advanced non-magic practitioners. Willing to train people new to it, but more looking for practice myself. Can also train or spar in weapons - guns or knives specifically.

Three: On a more personal note, to my roommates - if you don't start cleaning your areas and picking up your things, I will do it for you.

[She looks straight into the camera with her usual no-nonsense look in her eyes.]

You will not enjoy it if I am forced to do so.

That is all.

Oh there's a way to deal with them too.

[Luckily for Peggy, there aren't any Ultima spells at Selphie's disposal].

Likewise Peggy! Where'd ya wanna meet?

I'm usually at the barracks from 10AM to 11AM, or the pub after that where I work. Evenings, find me at the Battle Dome. You only need to let me know.

Roger dodger!

What about tomorrow morning?

Could we do late afternoon? I'm afraid the morning is rather full up.

Sure, late afternoon sounds like a good time too!

[It just means that Selphie will have a chance to brush up on her hand-to-hand combat skills before sparring with Peggy.]

Understood. Tomorrow afternoon, barracks.

[Business like as usual on Peggy's end, plus the extra time will let her heal up after all the fighting she'll be doing.]

It's a date!

[Selphie's excited about this spar and wants to see how it goes down. In the meantime, the perky brunette has a date with a simulation to brush up on some rusty skills.]

Uh... straight hand-to-hand or are we throwin' weapons in there too?

Considering the high risk of one of us getting bloodied, let's keep to hand-to-hand for now, hm? It's of the best use out on the field as well.

Agreed! Best used on humans but definitely not on monsters! Monsters ya gotta whack into submission.

[Selphie would prefer to fight monsters over humans any day of the week personally but she knew that you have to do what you have to do to survive.]

I...don't have much experience with monsters - beyond those the Third Party employs, I'm afraid.

Eh, there's fancy about Monsters. Learn their weaknesses and their down without too much trouble. Messy work though.

Isn't taking anyone down always messy work? [She remembers beating someone nearly to death with a makeshift beatstick. That was messy.]

Maybe! People you can just knock 'em out and beat the snot out of 'em. [She's seen how people their prisoners and would like to refrain from being on the receiving end of that anytime soon.]

Monsters is really more about controlling their population or they're more of a threat than an entire army.

So it's like hunting in your world - you have to kill them, unlike with people.

Yeah, pretty much! We don't let it go to waste though! Well, unless it's poisonous then we leave it but otherwise, we're not wasting it.

With people though, when we do end up fighting them, we do tend to snag some of their stuff though.

Yes, I would suppose a poisonous creature shouldn't be used for anything other than developing anti-venoms.

...wait, you steal from people?

We have antidotes for that where I'm from and if push comes to shove, there's an item that takes care of everything in one go! They taste terrible but they get the job done.

Not exactly. [She swallows a lump that was forming in her throat.] We only take something off a person if we've had to kill them.

[Handy...she could use some of those.] I take it those items aren't here?

...And hopefully it isn't often that you have to kill. It's never pleasant.

They might be! If they've got healing potions from my home than surely they've got other ones too. We'll just have to go digging for them at the item shop is all.

[Selphie's tone softens at the mention of killing never being pleasant. There's a lot of bad memories related to killing others and she'd rather not relive those.] ...No, it's not.

[For such a cheery girl, she's certainly seen her fair share of the hard way. Peggy wonders how anyone experience death and yet still stay unhardened.]

I wish you luck in finding those things then. And that being here will give you relief from having to do anything unpleasant besides fighting against the simulations in the Battle Dome.
