Pre Campaign Interlude 1: A Changing Fate/Un destin changeant
August 11th, 1794
You sighed as the paperwork was finally completed. The day at least in your tired emotionally and physically drained eyes was over.
You had finally reorganized the Armée d'Orient, and you would be reaching the marching orders. De Lisle and Berthier were clashing egos' that found it impossible to work with each other… but somehow, their combined efforts made this… effort into something you could only dream of.
A reality.
The organization, and how it was mobilized, supplied, and maintained, that made sense, was easy to understand and even copy in the right circumstances.
That was not what finally brought you relief.
It was the possibility of taking a break. A break in the monotony that was working as a General.
But you had a slight problem.
What were you even going to do?
"Charlotte, what can I possibly do to keep my mind off of certain things like work?" You asked as Charlotte looked up from the book she was writing in.
She seemed rather shocked you even asked. "I left multiple letters on your desk, including one from Brian, Napoleon, Colonel Chamans, and… The University of Paris."
Wait, the University? You thought it was shut down when the Revolution started? It was opening up again?
You then looked at the letters.
"How old are these letters?" You asked.
"The oldest is two weeks ago from Brian. Something about a wedding."
How nice. You hope he enjoyed himself.
"Next." You rambled as you kicked your feet up.
"General Kleiber and Colonel De Lisle are going to invite the officers and their families for a feast, and have invited you to join them."
Oh, that might be fun.
"And that last one?" You asked.
"Well, there is a publisher who wishes to write a biography."
You would ignore that.
Now… Let's read those letters…
Oh my goodness-
Reward:
Le Armée d'Orient has been established by you and your officers. Due to you creating a method of organization that has never been seen before, You gain +1 to Grand Strategy, Administration, and Logistics.
Other Generals of France will Take note.
What do you do?:
[]A Wedding from Italy: Brian is getting married?! Who is the… of. The name said it all… Bonaparte's Sister. What the hell kind of Blackmail did Napoleon have to make your brother marry his sister… or, worse… genuine infatuation on Brian's part that led to this.
[]The Dinner with Officers: You will go join the officers in their feast, and hopefully at least get them onto a few more good will lists.
[]The University of War: You are going to do the one thing you should have done a long time ago when Brian gave you the chance with his Officer's Paycheck. Finish your schooling. But now, you are going to study one science. The Science of War.
[]A Family of Choice: You are going to ignore the Letters, ignore all those potential futures and take a breath. Gather the family that you seemed to have created… and try to learn what Louis wants.
[]Finding a Hobby: You are going to sit down and try to find something you like to do for enjoyment, rather than… for your job or your trade. (Linetail what you want to try out.)
AN:
Well now, that didn't take long. But Me and @Plausitivity decided that we would take a small break from the Action of Planning and Army Maintnece for a little bit (and so I could get the Army Sheets all sorted out and drafted for the Frontpage), We are starting an Interlude Session, but instead of taking part in a nation defining event, we're focusing on the personal dealings of our intrepid heroine.
And ask the most Anime question that we could think of. What does she do in her off time when not planning her next campaign?
