ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Lockebox]

Coaxoch climbs up the tree and out onto the branch you're stuck on. She takes out what could only be described as a huge goddam machete and starts cutting the cords that are tangling you up.
: Brace yourself, this is going to be quite a fall.

You are cut loose and drop ten feet to the ground. The impact doesn't break anything but it sure hurt like hell.

Roger gets the air that was knocked out of him back finally after a few minutes.

"No mattress? You're too accommodating."

I land at base. I get out, go to the barracks, and take a nap.

[Gojira]

I start working on fixing my Razorback, and (if I can) installing Kintharian font packs on the computers.

[CypherX]

I step out of the roosterpit and observe the damage. Those Huit MANPADs pack a punch. I don't envy the technicians and receive some dirty looks as I jog out of the hangar.

I make my way to the mess hall and grab some of the quality Mercanan coffee I procured from supply. Finding a table in the corner I look into the swirling brown drink and think about the pilot who got downed in that godforsaken jungle.

Bell goes to the 'squadron office' to write up the mission report and leaves the maintenance work to the techs.

imported coffee, idea is high quality rare stuff, not barracks grub

think Turkish coffee for an IRL equivalent

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy  steps into the mess and gets the mac n' cheese, quite possibly the stufftiest mac n' cheese in Requilary

"No mattress? You're too accommodating."

She climbs down and pulls out a second mask.
: Give me your gun, I will give you the filter. I assure you, being able to breathe without inhaling parasitic spores is much more important.

She notices you're still sitting on the jungle floor.
: ...Will I need to carry you?

but how
how could anyone screw up mac n cheese
does stuffty mac n cheese even exist?

a close friend told me some pretty horrific stories from his second tour in Iraq

they don't even mix the cheese fully. if it even is cheese and not just orange powder


I look up and see another pilot, but decide against saying anything.

Roger trades his gun for the respirator.

"Right."

Roger stands up with his limp arm. The Huit woman towers over him like the trees in this jungle.

"Heh. You remind me of someone back home. Good thing it wasn't her stuck up in the tree."

Rogers trademark twitchy smile is now in Coaxoch's visual databanks

[ZombiLoin]

what is Coaxoch half-robot too?
Faw stumbles into the barracks and crashes down on his bed, full pack and all, like a bundle of rocks. True to the description, he ends up cracking one of the cheap aluminum legs of the bed, shooting a gnarly looking sharp metal spike just a few inches away from his Achilles heel.

The first and second things going through his mind were "Do I really weigh that much." and "How the hell am I going to explain this to the QM." respectively.

Its just a jaw so i'm pretty sure tippy is only 3/16th's robot

[Mr. Hurricane]

Its just a jaw so i'm pretty sure tippy is only 3/16th's robot

coaxoch is not half robot. the thing on her face is a rebreather that filters out parasitic fungal spores that kill you much in the same way of a lung-esophageal cancer


Jaakko showers in stuffty cold water and appears in the mess. He seems every disengaged from the world around him.
