ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Mr. Hurricane]

"You'd need a knife, try drawing and shooting while being lunged at, it can't happen, and to compound the problem your average piss-ant nine-mil' has the stopping power of snowball,"

[Ad Bot]

[CypherX]

"If all else fails, we have big, tall and beautiful" - Gus gestures towards Ralph - "to help us translate."

Gus takes a drink from the bottle in front of him.

[Qwepir]

"I just try to stay away from people who might try to start those kinds of fights," I mutter, glaring pointedly at Nagato.

Nagato is too busy entering the initials "P O O" into the arcade game's scoreboard to notice your remark.

"You'd need a knife, try drawing and shooting while being lunged at, it can't happen, and to compound the problem your average piss-ant nine-mil' has the stopping power of snowball,"

: There are so many things wrong with that statement I don't know where to begin.

"If all else fails, we have big, tall and beautiful" - Gus gestures towards Ralph - "to help us translate."

Gus takes a drink from the bottle in front of him.

: Yes, well, let's just hope he is better at handling pressure than the last pilot who tried to defuse a standoff.

[Gojira]

"You'd need a knife, try drawing and shooting while being lunged at, it can't happen, and to compound the problem your average piss-ant nine-mil' has the stopping power of snowball,"

"You do remember that our service pistols are handcannons, right? I mean, that only makes the whole drawing and shooting bit harder, but keep in mind the handcannon part."
I take another bite of calamari.
"Also, I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure a nine mil shot would stop most people, ignoring extraordinary circumstances on top of other extraordinary circumstances."

(this is true btw)

[CypherX]

: Yes, well, let's just hope he is better at handling pressure than the last pilot who tried to defuse a standoff.

"...you're kidding, that actually happened? I mean, I heard tell of it a while ago, but I thought it was just BS."

[Gojira]

"...you're kidding, that actually happened? I mean, I heard tell of it a while ago, but I thought it was just BS."

"Nope, that stuff actually happened. I think most of us were there, excluding you and Ralph."

is my lack of sleep showing at all, through the random-ass interjections?

[Qwepir]

"...you're kidding, that actually happened? I mean, I heard tell of it a while ago, but I thought it was just BS."

: It most certainly happened, and it got two people killed. Fortunately, the man responsible isn't around anymore. From what I heard, he suffered an ejection mishap of some description.

Nagato sits back down at the table and butts into the conversation.
: Captain Guerra negotiated and said: "I have a story about a god who bled!" His tale resulted in two people dead, so he had an accident and bumped his head!*

Yamashiro covers her mouth in an attempt to prevent anyone from noticing her smile.
: Lisa, that is in exceptionally poor taste.

but keep in mind the handcannon part.

i am trying oh-so-goddamn hard to find where i talked about the aesthian pistol. i know it's in this thread somewhere, and i know that i said it's either a .45, or a .44 or .357 magnum autoloader

[Gojira]

"That was a surreal experience. Like, just a week after I get assigned to this squadron, some Deltan commandos storm the Ark-damned base. Then the Guerra guy, just goes from zero to loopy in about no time."
I take a drink from my bottle, which I'm finding I enjoy more than Mercanan or Aesthian beer for some reason.
Perhaps I should check the proof.

[CypherX]

Gus tries several times to form a proper response and fails. Instead, he takes another drink from his bottle while shaking his head.

"I don't know how to respond to that."

[Gojira]

"All I can say is that it's forgeted up," I respond, taking another drink from the bottle.
I'm gonna regret this later aren't I.

[blockguy™]

"Big and beautiful is quite an understatement." Ralph chuckles.

[NoZoner]

Richard finishes off his beer and flags down the bartender for a glass of water.


Semi-related: My brother took me to a bar and I got stufffaced. Had fun. Threw up twice.

[CypherX]

"The alcohol is getting to him already."

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Gods, is that why Yukamo hates the dogs? Because of the commandos?"

[Qwepir]

"Big and beautiful is quite an understatement." Ralph chuckles.

Nagato laughs, and you are unsure if it's with you or at you.

"Gods, is that why Yukamo hates the dogs? Because of the commandos?"

: Gee, you think? Girl watches her best friend's ass get killed by a pack of angry dar- OW.

Her sentence is cut off by both Xiaomei and Yamashiro either stomping on her foot or kicking her in the shins under the table. The noise draws attention from the other patrons, of which there are quite a few more than when you last bothered to check.
: Oops, right. What I meant to say was; whenever she hears those things bark, or even sees them, she's going to be taken back mentally to watching her friend bleed to death. Does that make sense to you? stuff, I knew this, I'm surprised it's taken you this long.

Semi-related: My brother took me to a bar and I got stufffaced. Had fun. Threw up twice.

did you drink 2fast 2quick because that'll do it
on my 21st i went pubcrawling through downtown cincinnati and must have had at least 8 alcoholic drinks over the course of the entire night, and when i got home i just played assho and went to sleep. meanwhile, a few days ago, i had two (admittedly too large) shots of whiskey while playing a round of helldivers with operator, hurricane, and xk, and promptly threw up an hour later. but you know what i was still better at the calldowns than hurricane was.
