ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Badger]

Walter heads over to sit by Arkhip and Morten

"What were you guys doing today? Anything interesting?"

[Ad Bot]

[Qwepir]

Cualli nods and stands, pressing the compress to her head. She leads the robot out of the infirmary and into the hall. "So you've had a while to reach your level of awareness," she muses, half to herself.

Her stomach audibly rumbles, reminding her that she hasn't eaten for several hours. She glances down at the robot. "Normally I'd go home to eat dinner, but since you're with me and I can't take you out of the base, we'll see what the mess hall has to offer."

She walks into the mess hall, not bothering to take note of who is with who, and goes to see what's being served. Cualli keeps Elu close by the entire time, holding the cold compress in her hand, having removed it after she left the infirmary.

The menu is the usual base grub, nothing special today.

Jaakko shrugs and doesn't say anything.

Frisk looks back to the TV, and Virvel gives Jalko a belly rub.

Walter heads over to sit by Arkhip and Morten

"What were you guys doing today? Anything interesting?"

Morten just gives an irritated grunt, leaving Arkhip to have to put down his book and respond.
: No, nothing interesting back here today. What about you?

[Badger]

"The usual mission, Pertinax is fine and presumably secure. I had to emergency land because of some new Imperial plane which is thankfully scrapped, wish I knew the name for it by now."

Walter starts on his food

[carolcat]

Cualli grabs whatever looks the most appetizing along with a glass of water and then looks to the robot. "Where do you want to sit?"

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko looks at what's on the TV.

Meanwhile, Jalko attempts to grab on to Virvel's elbows, trying to wrestle.

[Qwepir]

"The usual mission, Pertinax is fine and presumably secure. I had to emergency land because of some new Imperial plane which is thankfully scrapped, wish I knew the name for it by now."

Walter starts on his food

: Oh. Let's hope it was one of a kind then.
: What was it?

Cualli grabs whatever looks the most appetizing along with a glass of water and then looks to the robot. "Where do you want to sit?"

: I do not need to sit.

Jaakko looks at what's on the TV.
Meanwhile, Jalko attempts to grab on to Virvel's elbows, trying to wrestle.

Frisk is watching sports commentators talking about endurance racing. Apparently, this year's championship race is being relocated due to the track usually used being too close to the front lines.

Virvel refuses Jalko's offer to wrestle, and just rolls him over on his other side.

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy and Roger arrive in the mess and grab some food trays. They are now standing in line picking out the various tasties

[Badger]

: Oh. Let's hope it was one of a kind then.
: What was it?

"Looked like a Hyperion but with another engine strapped onto it, without all those extra gadgets but it still has the beam weapon. Hopefully we can get back my gun footage soon."

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko looks around the room to see if there is anything else to get in to.

Jalko still tries to grab Virvel's elbows. Talko is writhing on the floor, scratching his back.

[carolcat]

Cualli looks amused at the robot's response. "Well, I need to sit," she tells him. "Since I don't really care who I sit with because I'm more focused on food than conversation, I was offering to let you choose where we sit."

She's already nibbling on some of her food while she waits.

[Qwepir]

"Looked like a Hyperion but with another engine strapped onto it, without all those extra gadgets but it still has the beam weapon. Hopefully we can get back my gun footage soon."

: That's not good.
: That's bullstuff. How come they get all the cool kit?

Jaakko looks around the room to see if there is anything else to get in to.

You'll have to specify what Jaakko wants to get into.

Cualli looks amused at the robot's response. "Well, I need to sit," she tells him. "Since I don't really care who I sit with because I'm more focused on food than conversation, I was offering to let you choose where we sit."

She's already nibbling on some of her food while she waits.

: I do not care where we sit.

[carolcat]

Cualli just shrugs, not keen to press the issue. She takes her tray and sits a table away from Arkhip's group, still not noticing him. She gestures around herself. "Sit," she says.

[Badger]

: That's not good.
: That's bullstuff. How come they get all the cool kit?

"I think it's fair enough when we have the Shikra now, and we used to have the Fenrir."

Walter shovels another fork of food into his mouth and swallows

"The Shikra won't be back for some time though as it's being repaired, it got teared up but I was able to luckily land it."

[Gojira]

Yui stands up, waves goodbye to Jaakko, and heads to the mess hall, grabbing a tray and sitting by Cualli.

[carolcat]

Cualli looks up from her food. "Hey-" she begins before noticing Morten out of the corner of her eye. She looks briefly at him to make sure it's actually him, and then looks to Yui again. She bears a concerned expression on her face and briefly touches where she was hit (which has likely already started to develop a bruise). "...hey," she repeats. She busies herself with eating.
