ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Operator¹]

Ellie follows Gus to the MRE tasting.

[Ad Bot]

[ZombiLoin]

Faw heads to the gym. He gets on one of the treadmills and starts to run.

[Badger]

"How are you two doing? can you still feel the burns or did they dope you up enough with morphine that you don't anymore?"

[Gojira]

Yui wakes up to the sound of Walter's voice.
"Wh- oh, hi."

[Qwepir]

Gus heads to the commotion to check out what's going on.

Cualli finishes up her light breakfast and, after putting her dishes away, goes to join in on the fun of MRE taste testing.

Ellie follows Gus to the MRE tasting.

: And I thought we had it bad!
: How bad?
: It's like... like some kind of really thick soup that tastes faintly of poultry. Very faintly. Mostly it's just nothing.
: I don't get it, why are they all in pouches? Do they not have teeth over there?
: Must be. It's the only reason I can think of why someone would want to have their dinner through a straw.

Faw heads to the gym. He gets on one of the treadmills and starts to run.

Coaxoch and Musashi are lifting weights and talking, but other than them and a few other people it's mostly dead in there.

"How are you two doing? can you still feel the burns or did they dope you up enough with morphine that you don't anymore?"

Frisk groans and tries to sit up straighter.
: I can still feel it alright. It's pretty miserable. Wouldn't recommend it.

[Badger]

Walter looks down the length of Frisk's arms, examining the pattern

"How did it strike you? It looks like it came through the controls and found it's way through your arms."

[carolcat]

Cualli walks around to stand by Eremit. "Doesn't sound too appetizing," she remarks to him.

[Gojira]

"Oh, y- yeah. It still hurts. Like hell."

[Operator¹]

Ellie goes to look at the Imperial rations more closely.
"If they can down dinner in less than a minute by drinking it, they would be able to use the time they saved to do other tasks, maybe."

Walter looks down the length of Frisk's arms, examining the pattern

"How did it strike you? It looks like it came through the controls and found it's way through your arms."

: Yeah. And then it started arcing off damn near everything in the roosterpit.

: ...I actually don't mind it. It's easier for me to eat because I don't have to take this thing off entirely, I just lift it up enough to get the straw under it. I don't think I've been able to breathe and eat at the same time since I started serving.

[Badger]

Walter look over to Yui's neck examining her burn

"They look pretty nasty, I hope they heal quick for you guys. They might look interesting once they heal over, however long that takes you to re-coup"

[carolcat]

She looks at Eremit's face. "Yeah, I suppose the straw would make it much easier for you. Doesn't sound like it tastes too great, though." Cualli looks to the crowd again. "Then again, I'm a bit privileged with the whole living on base thing where I can just eat a home cooked meal whenever I feel like it. Can't say I've ever had to worry about eating an MRE myself."

[Gojira]

"Y- yeah, I hope they heal quickly too..." Yui agrees, not sure how to even respond to Walter's statement.

[Qwepir]

Walter look over to Yui's neck examining her burn

"They look pretty nasty, I hope they heal quick for you guys. They might look interesting once they heal over, however long that takes you to re-coup"

: Oh yeah, it's not all bad. It'll be a conversation starter, alright. Plus, some people are into scars!

: Do you want to try one of these? I don't think they're that bad. Certainly not good, but...

[carolcat]

She shrugs. "I'm guessing you've already had one, then." She looks at one of the pouches. "Sure, I'll try one. How bad can it be?"
