"I said TURN IT OFF!" Tippy practically screams.

Walter turns around

"speaking of which that is not a good sign."

Walter turns back to the bartender

"Turn it down, change the channel, or something - I can't really explain."


"Taylor!" Jaakko exclaims.

He grabs Tippy, a bit angry from having someone scream in his ears.

"I said TURN IT OFF!" Tippy practically screams.
The ambience briefly dies down to the point where the dominant sound in the bar is the metal coming from the speakers. People at other tables (as well as the others down at the end of this one) are staring at Tippy, and Kommandant looks to Jaakko as if expecting for him to take control of the situation.
: What has gotten into her?
: Dude, she is freaking out!

Walter turns around
"speaking of which that is not a good sign."
Walter turns back to the bartender
"Turn it down, change the channel, or something - I can't really explain."
The bartender nods and goes to find a remote.
: Death of a close acquaintance?

Tippy looks around the room, concerned eyes stare back at her. The grating sound of the past events on the TV sting her ears. She needs to remove herself from all of it.

She jerks away from Jaakkos hold and clumsily leaves the grill stumbling outside.

: Death of a close acquaintance?

"I think more than one."

Walt watches tippy stumble out of the building

"All I know is that some people didn't get off the runway that day, she happened to be one of them. I know some other people on the base that were close to her didn't show up later."

"For forget's sake," Jaakko curses.

He grabs his crutch and chases after her.

A cripple chasing a drunk, comical to some extent.

"Taylor!" He calls, trying to catch up.

"...oh stuff."
Yui is quickly able to identify the walker on the TV and the setting it's in.
"What the hell happened to her...?"

: Aw, that's a bummer. I never thought she was the sort to be bothered by death, she hides it really well.

The bartender changes the TVs to a sportball game.
: Aw, what the hell!? I was watching that!

Morten chucks a peanut at the bartender, and Eremit hides his face in his hands.
: Easy does it, big guy, you won't remember what was on the TV tomorrow anyway.

He grumbles and shows the bartender a rude gesture, but doesn't escalate things further.

: Is she... alright?

Kommandant and Frisk shrug, leaving Yui the only one to give an answer.

"I- I'm not sure. On the TV, there was footage from Tocatlan of Pagodin's mech in action. I saw Deltan walkers on the receiving end, so it must've been during the attack. For her to have reacted like that... perhaps that hangar's where Yukamo died."

Tippy finds herself walking away from the grill almost aimlessly in the suburbs as she stumbled partially drunk down a cracked sidewalk. She could feel little droplets of water on her hands.

Rain. Yukamo liked rain.

She stumbles past a telephone box and crashes on a bus stop bench with a street light glaring over it. She looks into the street lamps light and listens to the low electric hum of the bulb.

: Aw, that's a bummer. I never thought she was the sort to be bothered by death, she hides it really well.

"She hides a lot of stuff well, despite being an older member I know very little about her."

Walter leans back and pushes his hair back with his hands before moving back to his normal position

"There's too many people to keep note of in Mjolnir anyways. I feel like if I invest time in them they will just get ripped away from me sooner or later."


Tippy had seemed to be able to create distance from Jaakko, likely due to the fact that Jaakko's fastest was about a brisk walk which could not be sustained for long. He continues after her, and is relieved when she stops, but is still a couple dozen yards away. He hobbles towards her, and prays that she won't gore him when finally catches up.

He makes it to a few feet from her, and is left breathless.

"Taylor," he pants.

He uses the crutch as support and doubles over to breathe.

Something clicks, and Yamashiro and Nagato turn their attention to Coaxoch.
: I... I am so sorry.
: You'd better be! It's your fault we couldn't even show up back there!
: Nagato, please, I don't think it's fair to lay the blame on her entirely, she-
: Are you defending her? She blew off your leg! She almost killed you, too!
: She was just doing what she was ordered to. I hold no ill will against her for it, and I don't see why any of you should either.

While the Kintharians argue, Coaxoch stares at her plate.

"She hides a lot of stuff well, despite being an older member I know very little about her."
Walter leans back and pushes his hair back with his hands before moving back to his normal position
"There's too many people to keep note of in Mjolnir anyways. I feel like if I invest time in them they will just get ripped away from me sooner or later."
: Wow, dude. A little fatalistic, don't you think? Reminds me of someone else I know.

Virvel leans over the bar to glare at Eremit.

Matsumoto and Xiaomei, having been hanging around the entrance to the bar smoking, already saw Tippy run/stumble past. Matsumoto steps towards you and begins to ask what's going on, but Xiaomei grabs her by the shoulder and tells her not to intervene.

Walt sighs

"I guess. I don't want to go through what my squad members have. I've probably staved off some good connections in that time."

Walt looks over to Eremit and assumes he's trying to shut people out after all the commotion

"I think he's just trying to forget things right now, I'm sure he cares about you guys though."
