MaterialS is set for quite an interesting scene later on. Tell me Satashi, how big is the other Nanoha? About Vivio's apparent age?

Also felt like writing random things about rules.

Spoiler for The unspoken rules of RF6:

There are several things that every new recruit to Riot Force 6 learns by word of mouth upon entering. Simple rules that prevent a social 'faux-pas' or gaffe that could cost someone time in a disciplinary hearing. Or hospital ward.

These rules are here to protect people and to preserve what little sanity this unit has remaining. These are the unofficial rule of Riot Force 6.

_____

One of the unofficial rules of Riot Force Six is one of the simplest:

You should never allow Signum and Fate to compete in a 'friendly sparring session' unmoderated.

The results of such an event occuring would include massive damage to the training facilities and a very exhausted pair of mages. This would be unsuitable for their companions and combat missions for the days following the 'friendly sparring session', as it caused them to be lethargic and unresponsive.

The first time this rule was broken, technically before the rule came into effect, a reinforced barrier had to be set up to contain their 'friendly sparring session'. They fought to a near standstill and called it a draw.

The second time this rule was broken, the reinforced barrier was broken, as well as much of the surrounding area. And it still resulted in a draw. Now the rule is strictly enforced.
____

The second rule would be:

Do not ever, under any circumstances, disturb or break any of Vita's belongings. ESPECIALLY HER HAT.

If this rule is broken, then you should have at least 10 seconds to return or repair the item (especially if it was her hat,) and even then you may discover that she does not realise it is back in one piece and may still attempt to maul the tar out of you.

The first time Vita's hat was disturbed, Nanoha nearly recieved a giant hammer to the face. She would then find herself outpowered and nearly beaten into submission by the Iron Knight.

You may notice that during training sessions, Vita does not wear her combat armour. This is for the safety of the hat as well as the safety of the trainees. More for the hat than for the trainees.

There is just another rule we could mention here:

Do not offer Yuuno more than one alcoholic beverage during a party.

There is a good reason for that. Several things were said and done, all of which are best forgotten.

Unfortunately, they refuse to be forgotten, as no one can bear to see a depressed young man weeping on the shoulders of his friends and colleagues, bemoaning his lack of a love life and the sheer obliviousness of his object of affection. Directly in front of Nanoha's closest friends.

The discussion had by her Nanoha's friends was swiftly eclipsed by Yuuno kissing Shamal... very intensely when she offered to get him a glass of water. The aftermath of said kiss resulted in Signum... needless to say, some things are best forgotten.

That and the fact that this depressed and confused young man has the terrifying potential to teleport each and every single person present into planetary orbit or bind them in a very, very painful and embarrasing position if angered.

There are other rules at RF6, but for now this will suffice.
