ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Your pubes grow on your head, helmet hair!" He quips.

He sounds somewhat annoyed with the banter.

[Ad Bot]

[Qwepir]

Jaakko wills himself to introduce himself.

"I- uh, never introduced myself. I'm Major Jaakko Kirves," he says, offering a handshake.

He halfheartedly returns the handshake, still darting his eyes around the room.

[Tayasaurus]

"Paranoid?" Tippy asks Arkhip

[Qwepir]

"Paranoid?" Tippy asks Arkhip

He's so preoccupied looking at the entrances to the cafeteria that he doesn't notice the people he's looking out for walking up behind him.
: No, just looking for-
: Check it out, he saved us some seats!
: Nice, thanks Eri!
: Oh. Yeah. Don't mention it.

The new arrivals sit on either side of Arkhip, the woman sitting between him and Jaakko.
: So, are you gonna introduce us?

He certainly doesn't look like he wants to, and looks to the Mjolnir pilots around him in the hopes that one of them can bail him out.

[CypherX]

Gus looks at Tippy with an amused expression but says nothing, content to listen to her and Jaakko's back and forth.

Two more pilots arrive and sit next to Arkhip. Seeing his discomfort, Gus asks, "Virvel and Frisk I assume?"

[Mr. Hurricane]

[Qwepir]

"Virvel and Frisk I assume?"

: That'd be us.
: You're the ones that replaced us, aren't you? How many kills did you get? I had 5 by the time I set down.

[Gojira]

Markus makes an "o" with his hand.

[CypherX]

"Your Illustriousness," says Gus, half bowing in a playfully mocking way, "I only shot down two."

He straightens up with a smile. "Gustav Thomsen, Mjolnir squadron. Tempest in the air."

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Two," Jaakko replies.

[Swat 3]

"Gods Tippy, any more and it would be a miracle if the Berkut could take off," he quips.

it was a great talk anyway, with aero just staring at him like a stoned catatonic

I didn't see your edit that was 2 hours after you made the post.

[Qwepir]

for simplicity's sake i went through and attempted to count the kills.
crash - 2
tippy - 1
walt - 4
tempest - 2
skytracer - 2
lichtlosen - 0
aero - 2

"Two," Jaakko replies.

"Your Illustriousness," says Gus, half bowing in a playfully mocking way, "I only shot down two."

: Mm, don't feel bad, you were just late to the party.

He straightens up with a smile. "Gustav Thomsen, Mjolnir squadron. Tempest in the air."

She gestures to herself and to the man on the other side of Arkhip.
: Klara Rask, Illarion Frisk. Pleasure to meet you.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Jaakko Kirves, or, Crash,"

[Badger]

I got a little bit of time this morning so

Walt turns to typhoon 2 and opens up on all 6 guns while deploying one countermeasure

Walt turns to tornado 3 and fires all his guns

Walt squints at how the tornado survived then launches two HSM.

Walt, then seeing the helpless Fulcrum (3) turns his aircraft and fires his weapons, this time a bit longer to understand the heat dispersal on the guns.

"covering the Fulcrum"

I didn't quote your replies as they're large but I got four

[Qwepir]

"Jaakko Kirves, or, Crash,"

She just nods out of courtesy.

: So which one of you guys was it that had the gall to show up in a Shikra? Where did you even get a Shikra?
