ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Qwepir]

Cualli looks at his book to see what the cover and title is. "What're you reading?"

: Uh...

His hand is partially covering the title, but based on context you can tell that it begins with "DREADNOUGHT". The cover art portrays a smoke-belching ironclad gunship (of the naval variety) with a bloated, blimp-like keel, gliding through a storm towards a city apparently kept aloft by skyscraper-sized jet turbines.
: Just a book.

It's a rather long book, at least 400 pages by the looks of things, and from where he has it open he's only about two thirds of the way through.

Jaakko hears Cualli's voice. He sees that she's with Eremit and decides to get up and ask how the bot is doing. Talko perks his head up and stares in her direction, before hopping off the chair and pulling on the leash.

Jaakko and the dogs approach, with Jaakko limping ever so slightly.

"Morning," Jaakko greets Cualli and Arkhip.

Arkhip nods at you, currently engaged in conversation.

Walter enters the gym and takes a seat not to far off from Virvel, while he watches he flips around a package inspecting it.

Aesthian Lieutenant WS 38

It is becoming apparent to anyone observing that the random base officer is rather outclassed.
also, what package

[Ad Bot]

"What's it called?" Cualli looks somewhat amused at him evading the question. "Cover looks pretty interesting," she remarks.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko doesn't interrupt Cualli, but Talko does, remembering her fondly as a great source of attention. He parks between Cualli and Eremit, looking at her attentatively. Jalko attempts to barge in and sits next the Talko.

Jaakko's posture while standing noticeably favors his left leg.

Cualli begins floofing the dogs while she waits for Arkhip to elaborate.

[Gojira]

Yui is up and in the gym after Gus arrives, heading straight for the barbell rack so she can lift ten times her body weight in steel just by lifting the bar the treadmill, ignoring Virvel and the lieutenant's sparring match.

[Qwepir]

"What's it called?" Cualli looks somewhat amused at him evading the question. "Cover looks pretty interesting," she remarks.

He moves his hand so she can see the full title.
"DREADNOUGHT: CHILDREN OF THE FORGE"

Jaakko doesn't interrupt Cualli, but Talko does, remembering her fondly as a great source of attention. He parks between Cualli and Eremit, looking at her attentatively. Jalko attempts to barge in and sits next the Talko.

Jaakko's posture while standing noticeably favors his left leg.

Eremit pets whichever dog is nearest, apparently hoping that doing so will make him invisible and no longer need to converse.

[carolcat]

"I'd ask if it's any good, but apparently it must be for you to have read so far into it." She grins a bit and fluffs Talko again. "What's it about?"

[Badger]

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko continues to not interrupt Cualli.

[Qwepir]

"I'd ask if it's any good, but apparently it must be for you to have read so far into it." She grins a bit and fluffs Talko again. "What's it about?"

: It's just some high fantasy nonsense about skyships and floating continents where everything's powered by a combination of petroleum and magic.

Nagato enters the room, having followed the sounds of violence, and immediately goes over by you to watch the sparring match.

Virvel gets hit in the side, and responds by throwing her opponent down onto the mat and placing her knee on their neck.
: I call fighting the winner!

Virvel releases her opponent and stands up to look down at Nagato.
: Yeah, right. You're like, half my size.

In doing so, she catches Walt in the corner of her eye and sees the package he's holding.
: Hey Ashes, whatcha got there?

[CypherX]

Gus visibly struggles to resist the temptation to do the same.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Cualli," Jaakko interjects.

sorry, you're going to need to do some of your own research and determine for yourself if this is something you want to do
all worthwhile information is available on or linked to on the first page of this thread in my posts, xxxxkill's post, and nozoner's post
to be brutally honest, if you need me to spoonfeed you basic information or condense everything into 6 words, you probably won't last a month before you get bored and leave anyway

[carolcat]

"Sounds fun," she remarks with genuine interest.

"Cualli," Jaakko interjects.

"Hm?" She glances at Jaakko but is still mostly focused on Arkhip and Talko.
