ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Badger]

"So you're in a complex spot that's hard to explain your current standing."

Walter brushes off his head

"I mean we've been spoonfed our share of propaganda here, so they're going to be biased."

[Ad Bot]

[Qwepir]

"Yeah-" Jaakko replies, still a bit uncomfortable with his experiences on the Pertinax.

As Talko shifts it disturbs Jaakko's wound. He winces in pain and orders Talko down. After multiple orders, the dog complies, however Talko goes right to Virvel. Jalko rises and sits in front of Virvel with high expectations.

"They stuff like bears," Jaakko remarks, as he feels cautiously around his wound.

Virvel doesn't even acknowledge you, instead opting to keep petting and talking at Talko.

"So you're in a complex spot that's hard to explain your current standing."

"I mean we've been spoonfed our share of propaganda here, so they're going to be biased."

: It is not complex at all! What is there to not understand?

[Badger]

: It is not complex at all! What is there to not understand?

"Poor wording, I'm saying it might be complex for others who aren't as open to the subject. They have to put aside their own views and built up aggression to the Delta from the war. For the record I don't think you're a slaver, The point that alone that you brought back Yui is enough for me."

[ZombiLoin]

Faw enters the rec room and practically falls on the couch next to Jakko. He flings his arms up and does a big stretch before yawning.

Cualli arrives at the temple, freshly showered and in nicer clothes than a tank top and dirty cargo pants. She finds the robot standing by the door and leads him inside. She looks around and, finding Eremit, quietly takes a seat near him. She glances up at the robot and gestures for it to sit by her.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko looks to Virvel, having anticipated a response, meanwhile Talko tries to climb in to Virvel's lap.

He looks to the dogs.

"I figure that these two are stuffty at hunting, considering that that is apparently what these two breeds were bred for. Of course the downside is that they are huge and they eat and stuff like bears,"

[Qwepir]

: So you are admitting your countrymen are-

She looks around the room and notices the other Aesthians present, two of which are glaring at Walt while exchanging words with each other.
: Forget it.

Cualli arrives at the temple, freshly showered and in nicer clothes than a tank top and dirty cargo pants. She finds the robot standing by the door and leads him inside. She looks around and, finding Eremit, quietly takes a seat near him. She glances up at the robot and gestures for it to sit by her.

Eremit glances up from his prayer and scoots over on the bench to make room, even though there was plenty of room already. The robot takes a seat next to her.
: I was attempting to read your holy book while I waited, but I do not know what any of these words say.

Jaakko looks to Virvel, having anticipated a response, meanwhile Talko tries to climb in to Virvel's lap.
He looks to the dogs.
"I figure that these two are stuffty at hunting, considering that that is apparently what these two breeds were bred for. Of course the downside is that they are huge and they eat and stuff like bears,"

: Uh, you know you just listed two downsides, right?

[Badger]

Walter returns a firm look to the glares until they dissipate or look away (given this doesn't happen, as I feel it's powergaming - Walter continues on as usual)

"That's fine, I'm finished here."

He stands up and collects a couple of his items

"If you would like to continue speaking about this or require assistance with anything I should be available to speak with. I'm heading to the recreation room now, hope things improve for you on base."

[carolcat]

"All of them?" she asks the robot quietly, being mindful of Eremit praying beside her. "You mean you don't know how to read?"

[Mr. Hurricane]

"It's only a downside if you care that it is- I mean stuffting like bears is a downside but I spend so little of my pay that it barely matters how much food they eat through in a month. Plus, it's good company. A positive quality of life factor to have them around," Jaakko chatters, "Look at them, how often do you see dogs like this?!"

Jalko scoots closer to Virvel, as if trying to force Talko out.

[Qwepir]

Walt utterly fails to intimidate the peanut gallery.

"That's fine, I'm finished here."

"If you would like to continue speaking about this or require assistance with anything I should be available to speak with. I'm heading to the recreation room now, hope things improve for you on base."

: Thank you for the offer, but I am planning on getting something to eat before it gets too crowded.

"All of them?" she asks the robot quietly, being mindful of Eremit praying beside her. "You mean you don't know how to read?"

: I can read enough to do the work I was designed for. However, that is apparently not enough to read a book.

"It's only a downside if you care that it is- I mean stuffting like bears is a downside but I spend so little of my pay that it barely matters how much food they eat through in a month. Plus, it's good company. A positive quality of life factor to have them around," Jaakko chatters, "Look at them, how often do you see dogs like this?!"

: Every day. They live here.

Jalko scoots closer to Virvel, as if trying to force Talko out.

Virvel attempts to divide her attention evenly between the dogs, petting them both on the head.

Cualli looks toward the front of the temple, thinking to herself.

"I could read to you," she says after several moments' silence. "I don't know about interpreting the deeper meaning behind it because I'm no priest, but I can read it to you at least," she offers. She glances briefly at Eremit to make sure she hasn't disturbed him, and then looks back at the robot.

[Badger]

"Alright, I'll see you around."

Walter heads out to the recroom

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko looks to Frisk.

"And I hope every day of yours it that much better!" Jaakko jeers.

Arkhip appears to be nervously fidgeting with his prayer beads. Then again, he quite frequently appears to be nervous.
: Reading aloud would work.

Jaakko looks to Frisk.

"And I hope every day of yours it that much better!" Jaakko jeers.

The two pilots exchange a look of bewildered amusement, neither one completely aware what Jaakko meant by what just came out of his mouth.

"Alright, I'll see you around."

Walter heads out to the recroom

Fortunately, Walter's entrance distracts Virvel from the awkwardness. She hops up from the chair and goes over to greet him.
: Finally, someone who did something today!

She punctuates her greeting by clapping him on the shoulder.
: How'd your sortie go, Ashes?
