ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Gojira]

Yui waits for a response from Bell.

[Ad Bot]

[CypherX]

"Nothing I can do, sorry. But you can be a little less miserable talking to us all, maybe."

Gus eyes the plate of food in front of her.

[blockguy™]

30 degree track meet lets go

[Qwepir]

"Nothing I can do, sorry. But you can be a little less miserable talking to us all, maybe."

She looks to the other two members of her flight and they give her a shared "i guess" shrug.
: ...Okay then.

She and her squad get up and walk over to where everyone else is. It wasn't apparent while sitting, but as she stands up it becomes obvious just how tall she is; not enough to have to look down at Gus, but the two of them standing near each other is enough to make the more averagely-built Gervesians next to them look like malnourished children.

Gus eyes the plate of food in front of her.

On the tray is some sort of meat-based product, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a divided section that would have contained the vegetable portion of the meal, now empty.

[CypherX]

Coaxoch's height surprises Gus, but thinking on it he concludes that this isn't out of the ordinary for Deltans. He walks back to his seat, nodding towards the new arrivals as he returns to his plate.

[Badger]

Walt nods towards the new arrivals

"Welcome to Valhalla, I hope you aren't missing your traditional meals?"

[NoZoner]

Lorens finishes his meal and looks up from his platter, curious to see the newcomers. The mess hall is feeling much livelier now that nearly everyone present is sharing the same table.

"This is quite a crowd we've got here."

[Operator¹]

"I can't get cleared to fly again since there's shrapnel from two planes in me right now, I guess I'm lucky to be alive since I was shot down in an A-10 before you guys came along." Bell replies, flinching a bit as she's reminded of the searing pain from the Thunderbolt's tail getting hit.

"I'll see you later." Bell walks off to sit somewhere else in the mess hall.

[Mr. Hurricane]

The dogs sniff the newcomers inquisitively. Jaakko stays weary of Coaxoch.

[Qwepir]

Walt nods towards the new arrivals
"Welcome to Valhalla, I hope you aren't missing your traditional meals?"

: If I had not seen it for myself, I would not believe anyone would call this food. What is this, potato slurry? Pre-chewed meat?

The dogs sniff the newcomers inquisitively. Jaakko stays weary of Coaxoch.

She moves the tray off the table and holds it in front of the dogs.
: Here, you take this.

[Badger]

Walt shrugs

"There might be some fruit lying around if you're lucky."

[CypherX]

"They might have run it through the garbage disposal first, to soften it up."

Gus grins before continuing.

"Best just not to think about it."

[Lockebox]

Roger gives Coaxoch a couple of looks and tries to look like he's ignoring her.

[Tayasaurus]

"Hey Jaakko, you know when you're not around i got someone who might be able to walk the dogs for you so the balding puss doesn't bug you about it again."

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Who's that?" Jaakko says.

Jalko starts drooling profusely and grabs the mystery meat off the tray, sets it on the floor and begins making a mess. Talko approaches cautiously and licks at the potatos before roostering his head sideways and attempting to eat mashed potatoes as if it were something more solid.

All of a sudden, Talko lets out an ear-piercing scream. A child's scream. The scream of a child in terrible pain and begins writhing on the floor in response to the atrocious quality of the food. Jalko stands convulsing, attempting to regurgitate the mystery meat before it poisons him.

Talko rolls and bolts for the door, haphazardly crashing in to everything like a dog on tile floors. Jalko sits and drags his ass across the floor in furious pain all the way out the door.
