ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko sees Tippy trudging along the roads. He shuts off his music and exits the barracks. He jogs to catch up to Tippy. Jaakko matches pace with her and is silent for a few moments, searching for words.

"Something bothering you that you want to talk about?" His voice gets quiet toward the end of the sentence.

Jaakko has a mix of conern, anxiety, and worry on his face.

[Ad Bot]

[Tayasaurus]

"Are you like this with everyone that looks like they're having an issue? Yes i'm having problems but i'm not interested in sharing."

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakk is quiet or a few moments.

"To be honest you're probably the person I'm closest to in the squadron. The rest of these characters don't seems to interact much, with me, or with each other,"

Jaakko looks at the palms of his hands nervously.

"It's not like I'm the base psychologist or anything, but I'm just offering that support," he says.

His voice draws quiet. "Just offering help, not as a superior officer, but as a friend," he says quietly.

Jaakko seems unnerved by the situation.

[Tayasaurus]

"Noted. As a friend a little space will be appreciated. Lets keep jogging."

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko looks confused and unnerved.

"Wait, so do you want me to jog with you or me to go away? You just said you wanted space-, sorry,"

[Tayasaurus]

Jaakko looks confused and unnerved.

"Wait, so do you want me to jog with you or me to go away? You just said you wanted space-, sorry,"

"It was more or less a metaphor on how i need space conversationally. Whatever. You know what i mean."

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko briefly glances into Tippy's helmet. Then joins her in a jog. He observes his own boots, lighweight, and thin. He looks to Tippy's tanker boots. Heavy, with straps covering the surfaces of the boot in the place of laces. He wonders how it's even comfortable to run in them.

The sun is sinking fast, and despite that fact, the jungle is still making a loving racket.

Bell closes her book and puts it back inside of her bag, heading out to get a bite to eat.

[Qwepir]

I'm not dead I was just painting stuff while trying to think up the next mission.

"It was more or less a metaphor on how i need space conversationally. Whatever. You know what i mean."

Jakko attempts to talk to Tippy.

Right, so, who actually wants to go on the mission? I'm thinking no more than 3 choppers on this one, so that's 6 people at maximum. Or less, if anyone would rather have an NPC gunner.

[Mr. Hurricane]

I kinda want to go on this mission, though I don't know what chopper I'd take.

[Qwepir]

An Mi-28 Havoc. That's NAUC's main attack chopper.

[Deoxys And One Noob]

I'll be in the mission because screw it I need experience.

[CypherX]

can i get a bionic leg or something

i dont think i can work the pedals without it

[Qwepir]

5:00 PM - Tayasaurus: i'll have Roger as copilot
5:00 PM - Tayasaurus: since we and locke can talk to eachother

I'll be in the mission because screw it I need experience.

So that's Taya and Lockebox in one chopper, Hurricane and (i'm assuming) an NPC in the other, and this guy and an NPC in the last one? If cypher wants to go I can cram in a fourth vehicle, but only because he hasn't got a chance to go on a full mission yet.

Not sure if serious but NAUC doesn't just hand out prosthetics like candy, you gotta earn that robo-leg. Usually by getting horrifically mangled.
