ABS FIESTA REDUX

will he save his slave master or let the giant robotic piranha tiger kill her

[Ad Bot]

[blockguy™]

If Coaxoch's squad ever encounters Mjolnir again roger could very easily defect but I'm sure none of us would be happy about it

[Lockebox]

You notice something moving among the foliage behind her, but can't make it out.

Roger mentally notes the movement in the brush but stays quiet for now.

"Right, sounds nice. Sounds like a five star hotel. You wouldn't get far with me being a combat slave. My allegiance is to my family, not NAUC or any military in the near future. I didn't bust my ass raising a son and daughter back home to have them trafficked by the likes of your people because your moral values are the equivalent of a stuff stain on white canvas. You want me on your side then you're going to have to work with me on my terms. Otherwise its a waste of my time and yours. So here's step 1 if you want to play ball. Give me my gun back so i can defend myself and i assure you our cooperation will all be uphill from here, and i'll even tell you what I have in mind."

: First, do you really think we want to enslave your family? They live on the other side of the planet. Secondly, you can have your gun when- Adrian, what are you doing?

Paladius seems to have noticed the movement in the foliage and has drawn his gun.
: The-there's something in the bush.
: Yeah, and if you shoot it that'll tell every gribbly for a mile "Hey! Food, over here!". Just hold still and stay quiet.

She unsheathes her knife and waits for whatever is in the bush to make its move. As this is happening, a pair of foot-long centipedes plop down in your lap, one after the other.

[Badger]

I just had to readjust myself in my seat after reading that

[Gojira]

yui screams as this happens

[Lockebox]

Roger brushes off the centipedes nonchalantly and crushes them under boot.

"loving disgusting."

Roger feels his pocket for the sharpened stick he made during the night. He's probably going to need it.

"You're focusing on the smaller picture Huit. Why am i not surprised. If whatever is in the brush doesn't finish us off my offer still stands."

[Qwepir]

Roger brushes off the centipedes nonchalantly and crushes them under boot.

They cling to your good arm as you try to brush them off. One of them attempts to sink its fangs into your sleeve (fortunately stopping before they hit skin) while the other quickly scuttles up it towards your neck.

"Oh for forgets sake."

Roger relies on his clothing to continue blocking the bite and plunges his wooden weapon into the one crawling towards his neck. He wrings the wooden spear in its gross goo protected by its shell.

"stuff, get off!"

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko spends time thinking about roger's sacrifice. He convinces himself there is nothing more he can do. It still bothers him a little, but it almost seems psychopathic in the way Roger's loss went from being a huge issue, to nothing more than an afterthought.

Jaakko goes to the bathroom and inspects his wounds, washing the blood from his face. They all sting like forget when he runs water over them.

"stuff, get off!"

You skewer the one on the move before it can reach any exposed skin. As Coaxoch and Paladius look over at you to see what the commotion is about, the beast hiding in the bush makes its move, pouncing on Paladius and attempting to drag him away from the camp. He panics, screams, and manages to drop his gun; and Coaxoch punches it in the face (snout, specifically) in an attempt to get it to let go. It is hard to get a good look at the creature during a tussle like this but what you can make out is that it is a large, mostly-black feline that looks like it could easily bite someone's foot off, among other extremities.

A quick summary of what is happening, so you don't miss any important details (no offense).
-There is now a huge-ass jaguar-type-thing in the camp.
-You still have a potentially venomous centipede on your good arm.
-Paladius' gun is sitting on the ground.
-This is all quite a fuss and making a lot of noise.

[Badger]

don't you have a handy tree near you to smash that bug with locke
